Deathrock is a subgenre of punk rock that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It combines elements of punk, gothic rock, and horror punk, and is characterized by dark, morbid lyrics and a gloomy, macabre atmosphere. Deathrock bands often incorporate horror movie imagery and horror-themed lyrics into their music, and often feature a heavy, distorted guitar sound. Common lyrical themes include death, the occult, and the supernatural.
