List of deathrock friendly bands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While not necessarily considered deathrock, these artists are frequently played in deathrock clubs, and the influence is quite apparent. Typically, they are pre-1985 songs by proto-punk, punk, art punk, Batcave, new wave, and new romantic artists; or songs by dark themed post-punk, horror punk, psychobilly and dark cabaret artists from any time period.
