Everything on this compilation is exclusive and not available anywhere else on bandcamp at the time of release. It is a mixture of brand new songs, remixes and reimaginings, rarities and live recordings.

Some of the songs are special previews from upcoming albums and EPs, with some bands even delaying their own releases in order to be a part of this!!

I am overwhelmed with the kindness and support of so many amazing artists and record labels ❤️

When I first came up with the mad idea for Goths for Sanctuaries back in 2020, I never could have imagined that three years later we would be doing this - quite possibly the craziest thing ever!

The purpose of GfS has always been two fold, firstly to help support and raise funds for amazing animal sanctuaries, shelters and rescues all over the world, but also to really bring the dark community together to support eachother and to celebrate the wonderful people and incredible talent in our small corner of the music world.

Music has the power to unite and to heal - and to bring out the best in us. It is the soundtrack to our lives.

I am so privileged to know so many incredible artists and musicians - some you know too, others will be new to you. Every one has a story to tell and I am honoured to be able to share their creations with you.

It is for that reason that I have priced this low. I want it to be accessible to absolutely everyone. It is in no way reflective of the talent - honestly if I had to put a worth to it I really couldn’t.
I know those who can give more, will do. I also know that in some parts of the world even 10 euros is a huge sum so please contact me for a download code if you need one - all of this music needs to be heard and you deserve to hear it no matter what. I may even make it name your price at some point.

I really hope you will make the time to listen to the entirety of this album - even if it takes you months!
Every single song or piece of music is worthy of your attention.

Please also follow the artists - a link to all the bandcamp and social links are at the bottom of this page and in the Goths for Sanctuaries linktree at the side.

I also hope to see at least some of you in the twitch events where you will have an opportunity to see performances from so many of the contributing artists - some exclusive - as well as the best dark scene DJs from all over the globe.

I wish to thank all the bands and artists from the bottom of my heart for going above and beyond in order to make this happen. You’re truly amazing ❤️

I also wish to thank those bands and artists that were unable to take part at this time but have always been ardent supporters of Goths for Sanctuaries.

A special thank you to Christian from COP International, Wes from Re:Mission Entertainment, Andy from SkyQode, Sean from Produkt 42 and Alex from Blackjack Illuminist Records, who not only gave me permission to work with their label artists, but actually collaborated with me to make this happen. I really appreciate your kindness and support more than I can say.
Also Claudia Bastias for putting me in touch with so many amazing Chilean bands.

A huge thank you to the DJs past and present who have been integral to making Goths for Sanctuaries what it is and without whom it never ever could have happened. Thank you too for introducing me to so much amazing new music!

Huge thanks to George Strix for the absolutely stunning original artwork 🖤

Finally an absolutely massive thank you to Nortia of Graveyard Death Cvlt Productions, who took on the mammoth task of doing the final album master of virtually the entire compilation!!

Thank you so much to everyone involved - and to you for all of your support ❤️

All my love, shellee xx
