Sweet Ermengarde

Sweet Ermengarde is gothic rock in its original incarnation - distinctive parallels to the sound of bands like "Fields Of The Nephilim", "And Also The Trees" and the early "The Mission" are detectable. But Sweet Ermengarde are no mere retro line-up, even if in particular the British 1980s decade is echoed in their music. They rather transpose their roots into modernism and thus manage to create a sound close to the pulse of time. The result is atmospherically dense, with plaintive echo guitars, epic soundscapes and a tight rhythm section.
