32.Xmal Deutschland - Drowned You (Devils,1989)



Sounding like howling witches burning at the stake, the ghoulish shrieks of Xmal Deutschland's 1982 debut single "Incubus Succubus" immediately won the approval of goth rock connoisseurs. The German band wasn't able to maintain its black-clad sound, selling out to pop before the inevitable breakup, but Xmal Deutschland competed with Siouxsie & the Banshees for goth royalty. Xmals songs typically stride along with beautiful bass driven melodies and slices of icy guitar, only to suddenly change direction for a chorus or ending half of a song, becoming the most chilling, surreal, and powerful music I've ever heard. The unique guitar textures, the evil vocals and the hypnotic bass on song ''Drowned You'', all intertwine to make best goth-blues ever !



Drowned You

Silent the rain falls
Kissing my skin
I count my fingers
While watching the waves
I walk down the river
Facing the water
That swallowed my dream
Oh, here I am

Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river memories are gone
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river memories are gone

I threw away things you gave me
Into the river
Sink fast like stone
Oh, join the reign

Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river memories are gone
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river memories are gone
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river memories are gone
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river
Drowned you in the river memories are gone
