LAM has gained a large and loyal following all over the world, from the USA to Europe to Latin America (where the live band has toured extensively), and beyond. LAM has headlined and co-headlined concerts and major festivals with bands like The Cure, Green Day, HIM (HIM has cited LAM a favorite artist), Rammstein, Soft Cell and many more. LAM has performed to crowds of over 30,000 people as headliner and co-headliner on major music festivals around the world. However, London After Midnight maintains a strong underground and independent "personality" despite being a top seller (charting in the top 10 and top 20 German DAC, and other European independent charts, with each of 4 CDs released) and a major draw at music festivals year after year.
Songwriter, instrumentalist, producer and founder Sean Brennan is known for his strong stances in favor of animal rights, pro-environmental and human rights issues, anti-corporate control of media, and support for progressive and liberal political and social causes. Whatever the approach or subject matter, the music of London After Midnight is deeply touching, powerful, socially aware, romantic, emotional, disturbing, haunting, moving, and often exhibits a morbid wit with its sardonic humor (listen to the tongue-in-cheek "Your Best Nightmare" and try not to think of an Edward Gorey story).
LAM is all this, while at the same time appealing to a wide variety of people. There really is no classification that fits London After Midnight (despite LAM's "dark" image) because the music is so varied and the lyrical content (and even LAM's personality and causes) are unique and uncommon in today's music scene (often breaking boundaries- much to the outrage of people who live and die by genre labels). Sean Brennan shuns all labels (as any artist worth their salt will do) and the music he creates can really only be classified as "London After Midnight".
From 2015-2019 LAM headlined major festivals around the world, including Wave Gotik Treffen multiple times, and many other events. In 2019 Sean Brennan started his own record label, Darkride Records, and released "Selected Scenes from the End of the World: 9119", the original 1991 album remixed from the original master tapes (it is NOT A REMASTER- it's completely remixed from the multi-track master tapes). This new mix restored missing audio tracks and includes a never before released song from the 1991 sessions. Darkride Records released the "Oddities Too", similar in theme to the 1998 album "Oddities" with unreleased music, new music and much more. The all new un-named LAM album and a complete remix of "Psycho Magnet", remixed from the original master tapes, is also underway.

London After Midnight's song "On the Death of God" is a deep and introspective examination of the role religion plays in society and the profound loss that comes with the erasure of that belief system. The lyrics open with the lines "God of the bible, god of the Qur'an, can you hear me? I think I lost my way." These lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer grapples with the reality that the religion he once held dear no longer resonates with him. He bemoans the loss of the sense of purpose and meaning that comes with a belief in God, singing "I can't feel you anymore, I can't see you anymore, I can't hear you anymore, I can't feel you anymore, I can't see you anymore, and I'm lost without you."
As the song progresses, the singer begins to question the very idea of God and his role in the world. He asks "God of the dead, got of the living, where have you gone?" This line is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the idea that the loss of religion can feel like a sort of death, both for the individual and for society as a whole. The final line of the song, "I'm alone with my fate," is a powerful summation of the emotions that come with the realization that God is no longer present in one's life.
Overall, "On the Death of God" is a haunting exploration of the ways in which religion shapes our lives and the immense sense of emptiness that can come with its loss. The song is a testament to the power of music to express complex emotions and ideas in a way that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Line by Line Meaning
The future was when nothing yet was precious.
Before the concept of preciousness emerged, the future existed in its original, unadulterated form.
But time for you has ceased, it's gone away too fast.
But time has stopped for you and disappeared too quickly.
So tell me how does it feel to be inferior.
So please enlighten me, how does it feel to be secondary?
How does it feel to know you exist no more?
What is it that you feel now that you know you no longer exist?
With god-like aspirations, a lifetime of devotion,
With god-like dreams and a lifetime of commitment,
You were a stoic priest of reason and emotion.
You were an unaffected and unemotional minister of both reason and passion.
But the hand of death is merciless, beyond emotion.
But the hand of death is cold and unfeeling, beyond emotions felt by mortals.
And the master has been slain, and you shall rule no more.
And the leader has been killed, and you will never rule again.
On the death of God, just like a rose, the bloom is off the world.
About the death of God, just like a rose loses its bloom, the world has lost its luster.
On the death of God, the sun will shine no more, you are alone.
About the death of God, there will be no more sunshine, you will be all by yourself.
On the death of God, the angels sing no more, all is quiet.
About the death of God, the angels no longer sing; everything is now silent.
On the death of God, just like a rose, the bloom is off the world.
About the death of God, just like a rose loses its bloom, the world has lost its luster.

Even if the movie was said to be a disappointment, it would still be worth it to see Lon Chaney's character in action.
Tekx
It was actually one of Lon’s lost performances,he died in August 1930

If there's a French poster, has anyone looked into the possibility of a French-speaking country having a copy?
Nicholas Perl
So far no leads have come up, but a French novelization of the film was discovered a few years ago and published in English by BearManor, I got it on Amazon so it's probably still there or elsewhere. Good read, as well as the other book they published on London After Midnight
MaroonPhoenix
This seems to be one of those cases to where even you wanted to watch this, it's either in the hands of those associated with the films production
Or a certain company that has the film in there archives but refuses to release it
But it's unlikely that the people working on, or at the very least those who have any association with this film are even alive today
And it's unknown that any other copy of this film even still exists
Ulfberht
I suspect the reason that, IF there is a copy still around, it’s probably in poor condition and that knowing the films infamy, they wouldn’t want to release the movie in a bad state. Heck what happens if, during distribution, something seriously bad happens and the only copy gets ruined, ie getting caught on fire or tangled in the projector. It’s one of those risks some film preservers aren’t willing to take.

Another lost film I wish was found or still existed, is Cleopatra from 1917, with Theda Bara in the title role, among with lost films of Clara Bow and Colleen Moore

Hey, so I was looking at the Frosty the Snowman wiki and saw that the original voice actor for Karen was replaced with an uncredited voice actor. I was wondering if you would make a video about this? Maybe you could find the names of the current voice actors for the children.
This is the Rankin/Bass Frosty, btw. Thank you!
Waggie Entertainment
Oh I read about that! However idk if it’s interesting enough for a single video, he might put it in a top ten list though
