The deathrock/ Batcave movement in England is also growing quickly, particularly in [[London]]. Regular deathrock nights in the city, such as Dead & Buried (named after an [[Alien Sex Fiend]] song).

The deathrock/ Batcave movement in England is also growing quickly, particularly in [[London]]. Regular deathrock nights in the city, such as Dead & Buried (named after an [[Alien Sex Fiend]] song).

In contrast to the early deathrock movement, the current one has additional influences which didn’t exist in the late 1970s. First, there has been a shift to a more post-punk sound as a result of the influence of the European bands of the 80s. Second, there is the apolitical influence of [[psychobilly]] which discourages political debates that have the potential to fragment the scene (however, a couple of famous death rock acts, [[TSOL]] and [[Rudimentary Peni]] were originally [[anarcho-punk]] bands). The [[Drop Dead Festival]], which is similar to psychobilly’s Hootenanny, gives bands with smaller fan bases an opportunity to play before larger crowds <ref>[http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/07.18.02/allshookdown-0229.html MetroActive.com]</ref>.
