@morellarecords.bsky.socialGIO isn’t a dancefloor goth. He writes gothic rock that tells stories, so look for the meaning, the warning, the moral. But if you can dance to Bela Lugosi’s Dead, you can dance to GIO.
Eleonora is out today. She is the one who lets go.
@morellarecords.bsky.social"Eleonora" is out now. Proceeds are pledged to Poe Baltimore to help protect the real Poe House through an unplanned construction mess next door.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialTomorrow. Eleonora, the rarest thing GIO has witnessed in 560 years: letting go with grace. Proceeds to Poe Baltimore.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialToday at 5pm ET: New Music O’ Clock on eMpTyVee TV. Eight music videos from the goth, darkwave and post-punk underground, hosted by GIO.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialTrack 1 is Morella, a wife who dies but doesn't really leave, returning through her own daughter. It sets the tone for the whole record. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #Poe
@morellarecords.bsky.social"Not every ghost returns to hold the chain / She gave me back to life without condition." Eleonora, out October 15, proceeds to Poe Baltimore. Three days.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialEleonora doesn't build to a climax, it just breathes. Four days out.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialProceeds from every Semprevive single are pledged to Poe Baltimore. Madeline's out, Eleonora lands October 15. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #ProtectPoeHouse
@morellarecords.bsky.socialGIO stood outside Gunner's Hall in Baltimore in 1849 when Poe was found, not permitted in. He carries losses like that into every song, Eleonora included. Ten days out.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialThe Semprevive tracklist is here: Morella, Madeline, Berenice, Ligeia, The Oval Portrait, Eleonora, The Assignation, Hop-Frog. Opens in grief. Closes in fire. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #Poe
@morellarecords.bsky.socialWhy does the Semprevive documentary exist? Because GIO is the reason Morella Records exists in the first place. Full story coming January 15. #SempreviveDoc #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #EdgarAllanPoe
@morellarecords.bsky.socialSemprevive single two arrives October 15: Eleonora. The rarest thing GIO has witnessed in 560 years, and all proceeds go to Poe Baltimore. Ten days out.
@morellarecords.bsky.socialOne Poe story, forever, every other copy gone. Which one do you save? #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #Poe
@morellarecords.bsky.socialThe Semprevive documentary has been filming since summer. Six parts, out January 15 with the album. #SempreviveDoc #GIO #MorellaRecords
@morellarecords.bsky.socialAnnouncing the Morella Records documentary. Feature-length. GIO, the album, the label, the bands, all of it. Out January 15, 2027, alongside the album. #SempreviveDoc #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #EdgarAllanPoe
@giogoth1458.bsky.socialPoe understood something most of his century pretended not to know: that grief does not end when the funeral does.
I understood it a very long time before he did.
More is coming.

@morellarecords.bsky.socialEvery note of Semprevive was written by one person: Blake Carpenter. Eight songs, eight completely different musical worlds, one voice holding it together. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #Poe
@morellarecords.bsky.socialThere's a worn 1867 Widdleton edition of Poe's Tales sitting on GIO's desk. It's become the quiet centerpiece of the whole Semprevive era. More on it soon. #Semprevive #GIO #MorellaRecords #GothicRock #Poe
@unicoshop.bsky.socialTu e i tuoi amici siete appassionati di Texas hold’em? Falli rimanere a bocca aperta con la tua nuova valigetta da poker! Un piccolo scrigno in alluminio che nasconde al suo interno un set completo di dadi, fiches e mazzi di carte. Tutto il necessario per giocare come dei veri professionisti. #Gio
@morellarecords.bsky.socialThrowback: The Geometry of Ruin, 12 tracks, 78 minutes, civilization's collapse through 500+ years of witness. #TheGeometryOfRuin #GIO #MorellaRecords
