When I was talking about closet goths in heavy metal, this is what I was referring to. A death metal frontsinger who's a Morrissey fan? Definitely a closet goth right there.

That said, I don't really like this cover of the single by The Cure but I do respect the fact that Behemoth (a band I otherwise do like) did something completely different from the original. I just think that when you cover gothic songs you should retain the rocksteady post-rock beat rather than doing something completely different rhythmically. The brooding atmosphere of many gothic music is very much based on the fact that the beat is rocksteady, it's like you're walking or running towards the inevitable.
