"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity," said the great Roman philosopher Seneca. The making of the Canadian metal band Fear The Leader and of their superb (self-titled) first album perfectly illustrate this. It seems like Montreal-based lead guitarist/composer/producer Stephane Dufour has been preparing all his life for this project, having released two instrumental guitar shred albums worldwide through Steve Vai’s label, has been the lead guitar player in Dennis DeYoung’s band and also in the (BMG) hard-rock band Saints & Sinners, and has produced, composed and played ..read more

Gothic Victorian (sometimes called neo-Victorian) is a modern fashion movement that reinterprets certain aspects and fashion facets of Victorian culture. Gothic Victorian fashion puts a dark twist on Victorian-era styles.  It is inspired by Victorian-era mourning clothes. This style is marked by dark Victorian clothing, dark make-up, and a pale complexion. Generally, the clothing, hair, and makeup are dramatic, and although many prefer to be period-accurate, this style is considered a modern take on late-Victorian excess. Gothic Victorian, as a sub-genre of goth or gothic style, flirts with th ..read more

Harajuku is an area of Tokyo famous for its youth culture and street fashion. Harajuku can refer not just to the geographic region but also to the styles and cultural attitudes it's known for.

The Harajuku district is a part of modern Tokyo (near the Harajuku train station in central Tokyo) and has had a distinct identity of its own since World War II, when US army barracks were built there, bringing with them new shops ..read more

Metalheads – even more than any other kinds of music fans – find it especially important to let friends and strangers know what they’re into. Band apparel can serve as a password of sorts at concerts (e.g. “Is this guy alright? …Yep, he’s wearing a Toxic Holocaust shirt.”), and some items are cool enough to inspire passersby to check out the band without any further recommendation. It’s no wonder that band merch has been a huge part of the music industry since rock and roll began. Considering what an important role band t-shirts have played in the heavy metal history, we thought we’d round up ..read more

Pastel Goth is a fashion sub-culture (originated on Tumblr) that is heavily inspired by Japanese "kawaii" street fashion mixed with elements of goth and grunge fashion. Usually worn with pastel, dark, occult, scary, and cutesy accessories and hair colors/wigs. Vintage elements are also welcome. Commonly misinterpreted as a part of goth (it is a subset of goth) fashion and wrongly accused of being a poser fashion. Pastel goth is strictly a fashion aesthetic, not an identity (no intention of involvement in gothic or grunge culture or music) nor do pastel goths/nu goths identify as goth, pastel ..read more
