R.I.P. RICHARD PYNE (KILLING MIRANDA)

BY TZINA DOVVE (DJ LADY DAVINIA)…

Sheffield… U.K… November 29th 2025…

Richard Pyne… One of the most charismatic souls on the U.K. goth scene has sadly passed away on Saturday 29^th of November… A veteran on the scene mostly known for the goth band Killing Miranda and electro industrial project Uberbyte Richard has left behind a legacy of his own… Who can forget the classic dark dancefloor hit ‘Discotheque Necronomicon’ back in 2000… A huge hit across Europe’s goth clubs and not only… A dynamic vocalist and musician, goth dad, partner and dear friend to many, Richard’s presence will be greatly missed but never forgotten… R.I.P… Richard Pyne… By Tzina Dovve (DJ Lady Davinia)…

Absolution is the best party in the scene. I think everyone should support it. ...Show your support to the ppl who paved the way for us to do what we do. ...The kind of vibe you can only get over time and hard work.

This night has quite literally THE BEST music in the Goth/Industrial scene in NYC. I can't get a decent dance experience anywhere else. Thank you so much for all you do for people like me who are into the Goth scene and do not want to change!

Absolution is a great place to hang out where the service is good and the music is best to lose yourself in. Good show! Cheers!

Observe the Absolution guestbook! It is a thing of beauty and modern technology. I can't wait to get to NYC so I can actually go to the club. :)

I love Absolution ! Thank you DJ Jason & DJ Xtine for keeping the faith. NYC wouldn't have anything without this party. All of the other clubs I've been to recently have hipster fake-goth and technorave fake-industrial music. I am glad there's still a place to hear new and old tunes that are fun and good. I am going to buy you each a mixed drink next week You guys deserve it.
