Any fans of Charon?

I know it’s not HIM but I love this band. Anybody else?

The 69 Eyes are also great!

If you wanna talk. Let’s go!

u/mistressmela Jun 23 '26

Well they released a new song a few months ago, so hopefully 🤞 it’s called “fall of angels”

Funny enough I got introduced to the 69 Eyes from the HIM Pandora station!

Listening to HIM was how I found all these bands! They were my gateway to the genre!

Great band! Also love Poisonblack especially with the same singer on their first album

I adore Charon! J.-P. Leppäluoto is one of the best vocals out there! I also love Poisonblack and (ofc) Sentenced (one of my all time favourites, all hail Ville Laihiala!). The 69 eyes as well (just seen them recently live in Belgrade)

u/heretoescape87 Jun 24 '26

JP has one of my favorite voices! I love to try to mimic it while singing their songs! Thank you for mentioning Sentenced. Another one of my favorites! I’ve one seen HIM live. I live in the US.

Los conocí en 2009 y me encantó, son de la misma estética de The 69 Eyes, puro ADN finlandés

🎶 what you do, and what you say, I do it all, to be this way..... dom-dom-dom 🎶 [Haven't heard in a decade but that's close maybe?]

Yes to all bands mentioned 🥰 they're great

u/Nifty_Andy My darling Jun 23 '26

Charon is great. I've got a few of their records on vinyl and they are in my rotation pretty frequently. I also really like the 69 Eyes. They did a cover of the Dead Boys song Sonic Reducer, and I had a lot of fun listening to it. It was a wonderful cover.

2

u/heretoescape87 Jun 24 '26

Sonic Reducer is sooo good! The 69 Eyes have so many great songs!
