Editor's note

Bella Morte's gothic rock with Wayne Hussey and Simon Hinkler

A moody, atmospheric band formed from members of The Mission in 1993.

If you want to get what they're about, listen to 'Forever Grey' or 'Regret'. That moody, theatrical feel is their home turf.

They've been doing this gothic rock thing since 'Crimson' in 1994, and they've never really strayed from that sound. Songs like 'Black Orchids' and 'Undertow' show what they do best, atmospheric, melodic music with Hussey's vocals and Hinkler's guitar work. It's not trendy, but it's consistent.

They started in 1993 with members from The Mission, adding drummer Martin Atkins from Public Image Ltd. Their debut 'Crimson' came out in 1994, followed by albums like 'Mephisto' and 'The Phantom of the Opera'. The lineup has shifted over the years, but Hussey and Hinkler have stayed through records like 2004's 'Restless'.

Bella Morte formed in 1993 from members of The Mission, with Wayne Hussey on vocals, Simon Hinkler on guitar, and Mick Brown on bass. They eventually added drummer Martin Atkins, who had previously played with Public Image Ltd. Their debut album 'Crimson' came out in 1994, followed by records like 'Mephisto' in 1996 and 'The Phantom of the Opera' in 1998.

Songs like 'Forever Grey' and 'Regret' show their approach to gothic rock, with Hussey's vocals and Hinkler's guitar work creating atmospheric, sometimes theatrical music.

While the lineup has seen changes, Hussey and Hinkler have remained constant through albums like 2004's 'Restless'. Their music doesn't chase trends but sticks to that moody, melodic territory they established early on.
