Ett av de mest älskade fortfarande verksamma banden inom den mörka och gotiska rocken har alltid varit The Cure, som med Robert Smith i spetsen nu släpper albumet "Songs Of A Lost World". Detta är deras första album på sexton år och de levererar samma hoppfulla mörker och <br/>bitterljuva melodier som vi är vana vid. <br/><br/>The Cure har sedan slutet av 70-talet förkroppsligat den mörka engelska gothrocken som dock alltid kryddat med tillräckliga popmelodier för att få till världshits, bland annat "Just Like Heaven", "Boys Don't Cry" och "Friday I'm In Love". Bandet som blev upptagna i Rock N' Roll Hall of <br/>Fame 2019 har sålt över 30 miljoner album under sin långa karriär och de har turnerat världen över ett otal gånger.

Forbidden is the eighteenth studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, originally released on 5 June 1995.

"I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it's had on me," Cave says. "It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It's a complicated record, but it's also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don't know, it seems we're happy." <br/>"Wild God...there's no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it." Nick Cave
