San Francisco's The Vanishing are one of the most unique bands to have carved a groove in the surface of modern deathrock. The music consists of layers of atmospheric versus aggressive synths, bass as combination rhythm, lead, bass guitar and noise machine, Jessie Eva's baleful vocals, and their organic live drums. It all meshes to create a sound that borders on the edge of goth, indie, electro, fear and insanity. The Vanishing's debut album, "Songs for Psychotic Children" was released in 2003 on GSL records, following that was a European tour. Deathrock.com is pleased to bring you a closer look at one of our favorite new bands.
