You should have the option to follow everything in the pack all at once, yes, it helps build your feed !
And a list : bsky.app/profile/nigh...
There are a few around but more is always good.
I made a couple myself with my personal account. Starter pack :

Wow, last tier has a band from my town, impressive list
Glasgow was my fav part of Scotland back in the day, it's so different from the rest of the country
For the record, all drums in Jupiter Kirk are actually played by me on an electronic drum kit ; I then adjust them with MIDI and use good samples (I've been very much into what Ugritone used to do.) I like to keep my own sound as organic as possible - but I definitely appreciate drum machines.
I'll keep trying my hardest to make my own drums sound as real as possible, but this here is something I have really enjoyed in my deep dive into goth music. It's almost relieving.
Thank you so much !
I don't have my own lair so I can only dream...
I wanted to be like him SO bad !

I will always have a soft spot for this guy here
relevant question here too
And to top it off I'm realizing that they are quite close to where I live, and I'm seeing several flyers for past shows in town, the latest one dated from a year ago. This is incredible. I'm definitely going to try and get in touch with them !
Nothing beats the excitement of doing deep dives into a genre and discovering that bands close to you have been playing it for years. I just became aware of Martyr Whore, a french deathrock band that plays an almost perfect rendition of early Christian Death

There's too much good stuff out there to limit oneself
oh, I actually heard Reflexor before ! Small world !
oh, plenty. The main one is actually on here too : @pcsgoregrind.bsky.social, and I've posted all of them recently on my personal account @nightofthevampire.bsky.social !
I have a goregrind AND a Motorhead-style speed metal band next to this one, I feel you haha

One of my other projects that you all might like though is Maudit Coeur ! It's a more traditional post-punk thing, more akin to The Cure, but with humoristic and sarcastic french lyrics. A fun little side project where I explore another side of goth music. I'll fully develop this one in 2025.
Made a thread with all of my work on my personal account, for Bandcamp friday, if you're also into non-goth stuff, from goregrind to surf music.
Hey Bluesky!
We know, it's Bandcamp-Friday, but there ain't much we have to offer there for you. Just the two songs so far.
It's totally up to you: Whether you type in 0.00 $/€ or more, we're not mad at you if you download for free. Seriously! Have fun!

It's Bandcamp Friday ! I know I've been spamming Bluesky a little lately, but honestly this place is very, very nice.
So if you'd like to check my work, go to Bandcamp and donate if you like it enough ! All of my releases are free / pay-what-you-want.

Following for the answers. Lyrics are the hardest part by far.
Personally I do a bunch of automatic writing about a subject and just pick out sentences that sound right. But it's a long and tedious process.
