Gothic rockers Solemn Novena formed in Belfast, N.Ireland in early 2006, with a mission of creating guitar orientated Gothic Rock, no techno bleepy influences or metal posturing for these guys, oh no. This had to be straight down the middle goth, just like the 90’s had never happened. Or this century either.

Sick of going to ‘gothic’ nightclubs and spending the nights looking moody in the corners, secretly wishing they’d play 'Serpent’s Kiss' (so they could display the light bulb changing and apple picking dance moves they’d spent years perfecting in front of their mirrors) instead of the stuff these people were dancing to, holding their glow sticks. Hell, some of the people at these clubs didn’t even dye their hair black. Something had to be done...

So, step forward then, Solemn Novena:

You want:

	Deep male vocals?
	Haunting female vocals?
	Pretentious lyrics about vampyres, angels, demons and sex?
	12 string guitars with far too much delay?
	Unimaginative and repetitive drum machines?
	Clichéd ‘spooky’ choirs and organs?
	Songs which sound suspiciously familiar?
	A name with vague religious overtones, although no one’s quite sure what it means?

In other words, you want Gothic Rock? Well, Solemn Novena deliver all this...possibly even more if you ply them with enough alcohol, let them take advantage of you, and give them money to buy sweets and make-up with.

Self proclaimed saviours of the UK goth scene Solemn Novena have arrived, and invite you to join them on their crusade against musical progression, and to stop those bloody cyber-kids taking all the good seats on Saturday nights.

Are you ready for it? Are you in? ...well are you? Oh, be like that then...
