Gothic metal

Gothic Metal: Gothic metal (also called Goth Metal) is a subgenre of heavy metal music. It is characterised as a combination of the dark and often melancholy atmospheres of doom metal with the aggression of the extreme metal subgenres, placing heavy emphasis on a beauty and the beast vocal style. The genre originated during the early 1990s in Europe originally as an outgrowth of doom/death, a fusion of death metal and doom metal. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Magica

Lacuna Coil shouldn't be here, they're not gothic anymore. Nightwish were never gothic. So weren't Within Temptation, despite their early works being close to it. The fact Evanescence are here is plain insulting to the actual goth bands. I'm surprised that Tristania isn't in the top

technical??? bollox! it's a romantic sound, i'm just not sure where the new bands are coming from - great Scandinavian bands like SOTB, Silentium, TOT and Beseech gone (as far as i know), bands like Tristania and Sirenia dead in all but name and even Draconian not the power it was (last album! Lisa gone!)... there are a few great bands like Dark the Suns and Ava Inferi you might tag GM but where are the new bands? the only light on the horizon i can see (hope i'm wrong) is the Canadian duo The Beckoning <3

This genre is alright, but when it's played in a more technical manner, it's the best style of metal by several miles. If you agree, join my group: technical gothic metal

"Готик-метала не существует. Обратные утверждения являются следствием банального невежества" - полный бред, тому шкльнику, кто это пишит в описании, советую, прочесть википедию на досуге http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%EE%F2%E8%EA-%EC%E5%F2%E0%EB и погуглить по больше

Ni Lacuna Coil,ni Within Temptation,ni Epica,ni Nightwish no son metal gótico,son METAL SINFÓNICO. Lacuna Coil de metal no tiene una mierda.

Am I the only person who sees Type O Negative as a doom banda? I see doom and hardcore but I rarely ever see gothic metal elements in their music lol
