    Fave Cure album and why is it Seventeen Seconds/Disintegration? A lot of you asked for this version so here it is.
    You can download an mp3 of it on my Patreon (link in description, it's not a full song just the audio here).
    I really admire how they changed so much through the years but still sound like THEM.
    Anyway, enjoy!

      I find the songs you propose interesting, however, in that matter that it is very easy to compose a song in these obscure styles, using band names, as a mockery, you yourself take away the value of your work. You should make it known as your project and not take great exponents of the dark scene, just to have more exposure. Still, I like the ideas you bring up. Only have respect for those who have consecrated themselves.
