Bauhaus, formed in 1978 in Northampton, England, is widely recognized as a pioneer of gothic rock. The band consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums), and David J (bass). Their debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead," released in 1979, is considered a cornerstone of the gothic rock genre, characterized by its haunting atmosphere and minimalist instrumentation. Bauhaus's innovative sound and dark, theatrical image have left a lasting impact on the post-punk and gothic music scenes.
