Norway Goth.

With my search taking me to Norway, I stumbled across a Metal/industrial band named "Gothminister". Their initial album composed of the new "Industrial = Heavy Electronics" motion, starting off with their first release. Being heavily influenced with electronics, it was dubbed "Gothic Electronic Anthems". However, it did well enough to allow them to forge a 2nd edition of that debut album.

They carried the heavy electronics through the entire album. With that, they ended up changing slightly. To focus more on the instruments. Changing them to more of a Metal/Industrial. With their exceeding albums titled "Empire Of Dark Salvation" and "Happiness In Darkness", they incorporated more Metal elements within their music. From their transition, sparking their incorporated sound travel, they released 2 5-Track singles as well. Respectively dubbed "Angel" and "Devil".

With that, they developed their own unique sound. With a better mixture of instruments and electronics. The later 2 albums were more accepted, allowing them to flourish more than with their initial partake to the industry.

Test them out here: GoThminisTer

It serves as their actual site for the time being.


Their latest album, as stated earlier "Happiness In Darkness" is definitely the one that has the most 'hook' when coming to newer ears. But for their vocal sound, they are an English vocalizing band. So you can enjoy the vocals as much as their sound. No translation necessary.


So, till next time.

Cheers.
