Dark be those that overcome

Being a Gothic artist in North Carolina is hard enough without all the misconceptions. I am sure everyone has heard this all before, but it still needs to be said. I have a gothic/industrial band here, and it is extremely difficult to get gigs. The only way to get shows is to lie about our music, and then surpise them when we show up in make-up. It is really hard to cope somtimes. We all get depressed. We get the usual shit like, “Turn to god.” But hey, we can overcome, right. Dark be those that overcome without asking any false god for help. We all believe that we are our own god.
