"Towards him they bend
with awful reverence prone;" Book 2
When angels and devils hide behind masks, who can tell good from evil?
Will a daemon and a seraph dance together, all unawares?
Nothing is what it seems at a Masquerade, and on the final night it was
truly Pandaemonium in Paradise. All divine beings, both angelic and
demonic, laid their weapons down and did battle on the dancefloor
instead.
Prizes were awarded by the stern judges for costumes most colourful and
creative during the Masquerade Ball, including prizes for "most likely
to impale someone" and "Holy Fuck. What Was That?".

Sexbat
"Sexbat isn't real grow up!"
The bastard offspring of Eddie Munster and Eddie Izzard, 'Sexbat'
claims to have invented the term net.goth while drunk in the days
when the internet was just three blokes with a length of string
shouting at each other. Responsible for Take A Bite, Aircrash
Monthly, and blamed for much else besides.
Resident DJ at The Whitby Gothic Weekend for the last 9 years, Sexbat
has also had residencies at Afterhours and the Bratcave in London
(England not Ontario), as well as guest spots all over Europe and the
USA including Convergence 5.
He used to be funny, he used to be famous, no one quite knows why,
least of all him. He will tell many stories about the Punk Wars and
the early days of goth in exchange for drugs and vodka - he will
stop telling the stories in exchange for money and power.

Fross
Trawl back far enough and you might even find the last time Fross
posted to alt.gothic. On a good day, with a following wind. Search
a little further, back to 1987, and you'd find him DJing in Rome, and
almost giving up for the next fifteen years or so. More recently, and
relevantly, he's been playing at Whitby Gothic Weekend IV-IX,
Convergence V-VI (and almost VII!), Slimelight, Bratcave, The Calling,
Decadence, Assimilation, and many other spots.
Fross is known for his sets which include EBM, Industrial and bits from
whatever else comes to
hand. His Convergence V-VIII sets and more information are available to
download on his website.

Mr Black
Hailing from Montréal, Canada, Mr.Black was first bitten by the "DJ bug" as an assistant DJ, at Montreal's now legendary Thunderdome club in the late eighties. He went on to become one of the three founders of the production company Cutthroat Productions, and the media companies Papercuts, & Finalcut.
Mr. Black re-surfaced as a DJ in 1997 with the advent of the now popular, "Darkwave Nights", at the Purple Haze club in Montréal with an equally balanced mix of both old school & new school Goth, Industrial, New Wave, Alternative & some Ebm. Over the years Darkwave Nights has become a staple of the Montréal goth scene
and now takes place every Friday at the second floor of the Saphir club.
