Did they ever make anything else like this?

What exactly do you mean by "like this"



most of their career is neo-classical darkwave, so to that extent i'd say most of their stuff, but I feel that you mean something more specific

That being said Into the Labyrinth is prob the 2nd best of what I've heard from them

Everything from this to Anastasis rules very hard.

The first couple songs here are like perfect atmospheric 80s Halloween/late October tracks, so that’s specifically what I’m looking for! I heard one of their newer songs a few months back and it didn’t sound anything like this, and I was actually confused on whether or not I was listening to the right artist

iirc Aion leans v hard into the dark medieval vibes but I'll admit it's been more than a minute since I've jammed DCD in general

Spleen and Ideal is by far the closest to the spooky overtones here imo (and my second favourite as such)

Aion is more springtime Renaissance vibes, not nearly as much gloom there

yes, if you're into the gloomy/dark goth vibes I think it is hard to top this one

Spleen and Ideal is the sister album to this. A bit rougher around the edges, but amazing, almost at the same level.

If you want the early, more "gothy" DCD, maybe also try the first Clan of Xymox album.

Synthpop with a heavy goth edge, not shy to add guitars to punctuate the message of the romantic none.

revisiting this and my word can you imagine how (even more) awesome this would be if the lass never let the bloke sing?

...except Xavier, I'll allow it on this one occasion

the Cantara / Summoning combo is sublime

Unfortunately I have a self imposed rule that I do not listen to this outside of Sept/Oct/Nov. But I can’t wait.
