Is the 1982 BAUHAUS track BELA LUGOSI’S DEAD one of the most Goth songs ever? If not, what is? (suggestions in the comments please). Sonja has always loved the song (celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2022!) and as we did with our live unplugged cover version of TYPE O NEGATIVE’s Black No.1 for last year’s World Goth Day, we thought we should do something again for 2022. Easy, right? Problem is, the date really jumped on us and before we knew it there was just a week until Goth Day! (22 May).
So in that small timeframe the song had to be figured out, recorded and mixed, the video conceived, produced, shot and edited. An ambitious task that unfortunately just missed the planned Goth Day date - but, with many late nights to get the song and video done, we’d rather ensure the end result is something we’re happy with in stead of pleasing those who will hold us to our word, demanding we deliver! We also didn’t make any huge announcements, only a post stating that there’s a surprise coming on Goth Day… well a day or so after 😉
We tried to retain the spirit of the original, by no means claiming to outdo the legendary moody song, but we did feel compelled to give it a little Terminatryx flavour to wrap it up.
Some of you may not know that Terminatryx isn’t our full time job, each band member occupied with their various endeavors - So everyone had to squeeze off time and put in their 100% to hit this crazy marathon of a deadline. Close enough!
We hate breaking promises and letting people down, but we’re hardly unreliable bastards - in our 20 years we’ve never cancelled a show, ever! So there you have it.
Hot on the heels of Goth Day, we give you our audio-visual rendition of the legendary BAUHAUS song BELA LUGOSI’S DEAD.

Oooooh, Beeeeelaaaaaa...!
Exquisite.
😉🦇
Thanks for 100K views everyone!
the best of the best of the best cover of the best 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! 😉
OMG this is WONDERFUL. That bass, that insistent 'ticking', that corpse - what a brilliant version.
Ah, thanks so much Stephen! It's risky taking on a classic like this, but we've been overjoyed by the overwhelming positive feedback.
are the bass strings big enough 😂🤘
Oooooo that's fun, works the subwoofer. Heal up Bela.......
😉💥
A worthy addition to the canon
Thank you!
this song is out of this world
*spiritus mundi*
🖤
Five seconds into this, I knew that I was in for a treat
Ah, great to hear Drew!
I bought this Bauhaus LP when it came, I am THAT old.
This is does not disappoint this old man!
As another who owned the original vinyl when it was new...
I agree.
@@DiogenesOfCa Ah, nice man!
Omg always my favorite music....reminds me of my favorite goth girl in music..Ruth Carnie.. still my favorite music today
😉🦇
That bass. Such tone.
😉🤘
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT !!
🖤
played plain and simple. and yet so strong in appearance. dominant bass and wonderful drums. the electric guitar completes everything. The singer's great voice, that's how music should be. I always enjoy listening to it. More please. fabulous
Thanks so much! Currently working on our next World Goth Day cover 😉
@@terminatryx That's great, you're doing a great job. good luck!
Love this 🫶👊💥 It’s the love child between Bauhaus & Aphex Twin
Interesting perspective - We'll take it! 😉
@@terminatryx ❤️
5:14 onwards is when it goes full Aphex Twin for me… I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, YOU GUYS SMASHED IT ON EVERY LEVEL ❤️👊💥
@@darcyphillips70 😉🤘
I'm no goth, but who needs to be to love this dark epic !
@@steveg7368 Ah, thanks Steve! 🦇
I'm loving this so good
Thank you Howard! 🖤🦇
@@terminatryx thank you again I myself like many other people have heard other bands do this version but this is with no doubt the best. 🖤
I love the heavier guitar in this version. Probably the best cover I’ve heard.
@@paulpisters668 Wow, that's a great compliment, thanks Paul!
Thanks so fine
😉
Dude, this video is totally tripping me the f out right now 😮lol
That's what my eyes look like on cough meds 👽
😁
From a retired Goth here, mostly Rockabilly and Psychobilly nowadays with a little Gothic edge. I'm 48 this year and this takes me back to my early 20's in my Gothic days. You guys nailed it!! I love this cover of it!!
@@taintedtannis Hey, thank you! Glad to take you down memory lane 🦇😉
I'm 58 and still Goth. Still going to gigs sometimes 4 a week. Still watching Goth bands.
50 year old will never retire Goth here! I'm getting goosebumps here and I can imagine being a 13 year old baby bat running to the dancefloor in anticipation after hearing the first couple of thumps of that bass...good times 🖤
Hi young goth
DEADBOLT
Great bass!!
😉👍
2yo and just showing up for me. The RUclips algorithm is failing. This is one of the best covers I have heard.
@@michaelcampbell1109 Oh wow, thanks so much Michael! To take on such an iconic song opens up the floodgates for hardcore fan ridicule, but it has been overwhelmingly appreciated 🦇
Loved Bauhaus for decades.. this is a fantastic cover of a fantastic song. 👍
Hey, thanks Alex! Appreciate it - Many feel this song is too sacred to mess with, but we respected it on all levels.
@@terminatryxNot easy to do this cover, congrats Milady and to all the members of your band 🖤
@@paulofranco1087 😉🦇
Love the bass and slide guitar work at beginning , This is a great mash up , the 2 songs work really well together .

Hey, thanks so much Andreas!
@@terminatryx 👍
Exactly! It is pretty awesome! Art is for all!❤
Thanks Patricia!@@patriciamartins2822
One time I was at Walmart behind this goth girl wearing the regular Bauhaus Bela Lugosi T-shirt, she was buying a single loaf of bread and a candy bar. I looked at her and sang
GOTH GIRL SHE'S BUYING A BREAD
SOME BREAD
SOME BREAD
SOME BREAD
In my finest baritone. She just looked at me in horror and confusion
@@asafoetidajones8181 😄
Probably a poser
@@_Azeem_ IDK, I mean, the other Bauhaus material and especially Peter Murphy solo is Good - I like it better, actually, but Lugosi is far and away their best known, tantamount to a one hit wonder almost. I'm not huge on calling people posers but I'd still expect a 'poser' to know a band's one huge song
This is insane! I really like it
@@kellywilliamson2756 Hey, thanks so much Kelly! 🖤
This band does some great covers!

@@DouglasAyers-c1z Ah, that's great Douglas! 🦇🖤
When I begin my night flitting with increased rapidness from shadow to shadow between the street lights, I catch myself growling the same deep bass line in anticipation of what I'll soon be getting into.
😉
the anvil drum beat is metal - great cover
Hey, thanks Andrew!
Awesome job....Love the touch of the sound byte of Gary Altman as dracula.....
Thanks you! (the dialog clip is Bela Lugosi from the 1931 Dracula movie)
