Subkulture is a music magazine and online community dedicated to gothic music and culture.
History
The website was originally an events management and promotion label during the mid-1990s.[1] Fliers promoting events produced by Subkulture note that they are benefit events.[2]
Subkulture was also a distributor of American Industrialnation magazine in the Philippines. Subkulture helped advance the career of young bands in the Philippines, including Sea of Rains.[3]
Subkulture online magazine was launched at the end of 2011.
Subkulture's Eternal Death Wake (EDW) Music Festival, known as The Eastern Goth Valley, is an annual Halloween music gathering held every October in the Philippines.[4] It was the first goth festival in the Philippines,[citation needed] and has been featured in Japan's counterculture magazine Burst as well as various TV programs.[5]
The EDW event has hosted foreign artists such as the Angina Pectoris (Germany), Eve of Destiny (Japan), Kozi (Japan), Roughhausen (Canada and Taiwan ), DJ Eiji (Japan), Haruhiko Ash (Japan), DJ Nekrokael (France), and Psydoll (Japan).[citation needed]
^"Sea of Rains". SoundClick. 2003 was a break for Sea of Rains as Subkulture Productions decided to include them in their roster of regular bands to play in their events, including Klub Gargoyle (a regular gothic event), Faces of Rock (an event featuring a mix of various rock bands), and Children of Shadows (a mixed dark music event). This gave Sea of Rains the chance to share the stage with the likes of their most respected artists like Dahong Palay, Death by Stereo, and Philippine goth rock icons Dominion.
