Gothic Metal fans...?!

Ahh, now a question I can be of help with!.

With "Gothic" Metal bands you have to be weary of since every band that has a female lead singer tends to be labelled "gothic"!. As seen below, Symphonic bands also tend to be labelled "gothic" even though many aren't!.
However, some bands that you might be interested in:

For My Pain - Tuomas of Nightwish's other band
Moonspell
Katatonia
Agalloch
Sirenia - Female lead
Crematory
Beseech - Female lead
The Vision Bleak
Mandragora Scream - Female lead
Darzamat
Darkseed
Graveworm
Virgin Black
The Old Dead Tree

@BlkDarkness: Gothic and Symphonic genres are not one in the same!. You can have a Gothic band without it being Symphonic and vice versa!. Most of the bands that I listed are prime examples of this!.

EDIT: Thanks Vicky!. I second all the bands you listed, though I tried to steer clear of the more "Symphonic" Gothic bands!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

IDK why people call it Gothic Metal it's called SYMPHONIC METAL & I happenen to be a hard core fan of the type of METAL!. Gothic Metal would be more like Deathstars early stuff!. BTW that bands sounds similar to HIM!. Here's some Synphonic Metal bands
Eyes of Eden
Hanging Doll
Echoes of Eternity
Visions of Atlantis
Leaves Eyes
Qntal
Tyr
Alight
Symphony X
Seraphim
Sirenia
Apparition
Elis
Pythia
Nightwish
that's a gothic taste in Metal but, it SYMPHONIC METAL!


To (the person) right below me You could sound completely different from your influences My fav band 10 Years has some hard core METAL & different in flueces such a METALLICA & they sound nothing close or near that!. Influences are more than just sound wise it's also lyrics as well & voice!Www@Enter-QA@Com

The link was interesting, but for Gothic Metal I tend to prefer the wonderful :~

Type O Negative

Good albums to start with are "Bloody Kisses", then "October Rust"


For symphonic metal, I'd go with Apocalyptica!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

(BA for Evican, anyone!?)

Elis is really good!. Try "Perfect Love", "Come to Me", "Der Letzte Tag", and "Black Angel"!.

Flowing Tears is considered gothic metal!. I particularly like their newest album, Razorbliss!. Good songs = "Razorbliss", "Undying", and "Believe"!.

I also like Krypteria's newest album, Bloodangel's Cry!. Good songs = "All Systems Go", "Victoriam Speramus", and "Scream"!.


Here are some other bands I like:
- Abonos
- Artrosis
- Dying Passion
- Lullacry
- Macbeth
- Midnattsol
- Sentenced
- Silentium
- The Sins of Thy Beloved

There's tons of them, really!. I just named the more well-known ones, because it's easier to "get" into a genre that way!. Then, once you start actively liking it, start searching for the lesser known bands!. :P


Edit:
Fail BlkDarkness!. A symphonic band obviously has symphonic influences!. There are plenty of gothic metal bands that do not have symphonic influences!.

Edit2:
No problem Evican!. And symphonic metal is my first favorite genre, so to speak, so it's only natural that I'd recommend symphonic gothic metal bands, right!? Haha!. :PWww@Enter-QA@Com
