A moody cloud of darkness is gathering above Planet Earth as we speak. The legions of pale-skinned, long-coated, poorly-makeup’d mother-upsetting beings are preparing to rise up from their dungeons and walk the planet. Nobody will stand in their way, for tomorrow is World Goth Day. DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!

To celebrate (in the least celebratory way, of course), we’re asking all FRONT readers to join their ranks and send in their best Goth’d up pictures. The best will win a prize from our mucky dip bin, so get excited (in the least exciting way, of course).

The eagle-eyed amongst you may recognise the earmuffed fiddle-twiddler in this here video as Lags from Gallows, and the eagle-eared amongst you may recognise this new song called Better Energy as being really great. This is Moones, and it’s started our week very nicely, thank you.
