Gargoyle Sox - As The Masters Sleeps (1985)

Gargoyle Sox were a Gothic Rock band from the 80's. They Released their first mini LP in 1985 titled "As The Masters Sleeps". The sound of the band is standard of the first wave of gothic rock music but with the exception of their "freaky" keyboard style which makes them rather hard to classify as what genre it fits into. One of the best features of the band is the fact it is only a two piece act comprised of John Koester and Matt DeWan but they retain the sound of a four piece band not lacking in any area. The stand out track certainly has to be Succubus, especialy with the keyboards in the corus as it creates an atmosphere for the whole LP and tells you what the band is all about.
