Q: What are some specific examples of their goth influences?
A: Think about the dark, atmospheric sound, the introspective and often melancholic lyrics, and the use of black and white in their visuals. Songs like "Tear You Apart" and "Written in Blood" explore themes of obsession, heartbreak, and the darker side of relationships, which are all common in goth music.

This approach makes them more accessible to wider audiences.
Q: Is it wrong to call them goth?
A: It's really a matter of perspective. Some people in the goth scene might not consider them "true goth" because they blend genres and don't adhere strictly to all the conventions of the subculture. But others might embrace them as a band that incorporates goth elements into their unique sound. Ultimately, it's up to the individual listener to decide how they want to categorize them.
