The Batman Cometh: Peter Murphy Returns With Goth Epic 'Lion' — rollingstone.com

Peter Murphy has been a pin-up monster for the goth nation for almost 40 years now, ever since he croaked "the bats have left the bell tower" with Bauhaus, on their classic 1979 debut single "Bela Lugosi's Dead." Bauhaus were a band of pasty art students from Northampton, England, mixing up Bowie, punk, Catholic angst and horror flicks into creepshows like "Dark Entries" and "God in an Alcove."
