New Wave, Emo, and Goth Collide in Black Bouquet’s “No More Blood”

Fans of 80s New Wave, 2000s emo, and classic goth rock will all find something to love in Black Bouquet’s new album, Pray to the Knife. With a flair for the theatrical that rivals My Chemical Romance, a touch of prog-influence ala Mars Volta, and an obvious appreciation for their roots in early alternative rock, Pray to the Knife is an easy winner for not only 30-and-40-somethings like myself, but younger audiences as well.

With multiple singles out from this latest album, it’s the fun throwback vibe of the “No More Blood” music video that feels like the best place to start in order to get a real taste for the band’s audio and visual aesthetics.

For fans of 30 Seconds to Mars, The Killers, Placebo, Bauhaus, The Cure, and beyond, “No More Blood” is your next heavy rotation track for your Spotify playlists and music video queue.
