"The gothic rock scene, like other alternative scenes, was created by individuals seeking to forge identities independent of mainstream society. It’s about creating something new, positive, and inclusive. While it may be music-based, the subculture carries a message of authenticity and self-expression. True artistry comes from originality rather than imitation, whether in music, poetry, theater, cinema, or fashion."

"Mexico City’s Blood Dance have unleashed an epic new video – a short horror film, to be exact – for their spooky single “Wicked King,” tempting fans off the deep end into a bloodbath of greasepaint and machetes."
