Abney Park can be
found at the exotic
musical crossroads
where quintessential
gothic artists like
Peter Murphy and
Rammstein meet the
sensual, worldbeat,
dark sounds of Vas
or Dead Can Dance.
While their sound
and lyrics are firmly
grounded in gothic
roots (the band's
name is taken from
a cemetery in Great
Britain) their visual
aesthetic and playful
backstory is uniquely
steampunk.
|
Indeed, Abney Park
may be the only,
and certainly the
primary band flying
the banner of steampunk
culture, mixing
the gentle and genteel
delights of high
tea and lace with
the mechanical pulse
of technology, while
conjuring images
of comforting darkness
and cruel death.
