«The Goth tag was a bit of a joke», insists Ian Astbury. «One of the groups coming up at the same time as Southern Death Cult was Sex Gang Children, and Andi — he used to dress like a Banshees fan, and I used to call him the Gothic Goblin because he was a little guy, and he’s dark. He used to like Edith Piaf and this macabre music, and he lived in a building in Brixton called Visigoth Towers. So he was the little Gothic Goblin, and his followers were Goths. That’s where Goth came from.»
Imagewise, the group may go heavy on the dark duds and black eyeliner, but its sound is far from goth.
Tuomas Holopainen: Well, we kind of dress in black and we have a female singer, but that’s pretty much it. I mean so many people consider us as a gothic metal band but I totally disagree. I don’t think that… we can be put into that category.Архівована копія. Архів оригіналу за 17 квітня 2011. Процитовано 16 серпня 2012.
