 DEITA KLAUS a GOTH ICON!
"Order of the Golden Dawn" CD Review by Englands TWF Magazine

‘Order of the Golden Dawn’ is out now!
Deita Klaus – Order of the Golden Dawn
(DGW Records) http://www.deitaklaus.com
Every now and then you discover a band that
you’re sure is going to be big. Every now and then
you discover a band that you’re sure could well
become massive. Every now and then you come
across an album that you just have to say “wow!”
no matter how many times you listen to it.
Well folks. Deita Klaus are one of those
bands, and ‘Order of the Golden Dawn’ is one
of those albums.
Deita Klaus are already off to a head start with
my claim, having winning or being nominated for
many awards and having many songs used on
TV shows.
‘Order of the Golden Dawn’ really is an everysong-
a-winner album. There really is a lack of
weak spots, but a plentiful supply of strong tracks.
The CD contains 13 tracks, all quite erotic (even if
not about love or sex) and Vamperic (even if not
about Vampires!) and all demonstrating Deita
Klaus’ spectacular songwriter skills. Al tracks more
guitar and drum machine driven. Likely to be very
popular with some of the older Goths, but no
reason why it shouldn’t expand beyond that!
To do a review that gives this CD the full credit it
deserves I would probably have to write pages of
detail. I can’t realistically do that so we’ll have to
brush through some of the tracks.
The CD starts blazing from both barrels with the
dynamic ‘Bloody Kisses’ and ends with the
piano-ballad of ‘Las Vegas’, one of the albums
only quiet parts.
On the ride between the two is the epic ‘Gothic
Gospel’, which starts slow before speeding to a
nice rhythm, the strip-club-esque ‘Deita Von Teaze’
and the seductive ‘Vampire’ to name but a few of
the gems present on this album.
I couldn’t do this review and not mention
“controversial” single ‘Saint Diana’, an alternative
tribute to Princess Diana, completed with
traditional two-step with a nice groove for dancing
into.
Overall this really is a ‘must have’ album – it’s only
a matter of time before Deita Klaus burst
through the seams and it really is the best time
to catch it fresh.
I believe in ten years
time we’ll be talking
about Deita Klaus like
we talk about bands like
The Sisters of Mercy,
The Mission or Bauhaus
now. That she’ll
become one of the
great Goth Icons. But
don’t just take my word
for it . . . . . . . . . . .
RATED THE HIGHEST #(10)
