I know this was done a while back but this is a revamped version lol. So...does anyone else like goth metal?? I personally love it. I love the etherealness of the lyrics and imagery used, that and its one of the few versions of metal that has a healthy population of female singers and is just generally great music. For those who dont really know of any goth metal bands, im toking abt bands such as : Within temptation - an amazing band ive recently discoveredhttp://www.within-temptation.com nightwishhttp://www.nightwish.com after foreverhttp://www.afterforever.com autumnhttp://www.autumn.nu Closterkellerhttp://www.anja.pl HIM lullacry lacuna coilhttp://www.lacunacoil.it flowing tearshttp://www.flowingtears.de/ stratovarius edenbridge tristania sirenia Gothica ....there are loads of them!! so what do you guys think?? peace and love xxxxx
ah shit, I had forgotten about within temptation...I discovered them and then discover other stuff, yes they are very good. my last cd purchase included Lacuna Coil's Comalies disk. other than nightwish the rest of your list is foriegn to me. try the Gathering and Daargard though. it might be dargaard..I forget.
the first spelling was correct....it was daargard....I havent heard them but i may check them out in the future coz they seem interesting. The singer for daargard, Elizabeth Toriser, is also singer with Dominion II as far as i remember - she looks really pretty. peace and love xxxxx
not my ole cup o tea... to be honest but whatever float your boat missy! i prefere yeee olden trash metal...metal at its best.
I like some power/fantasy metal. Gothic metal is a different thing i think, but a band like Nightwish could be described like gothic/power metal (with female vocals). Don't like it really though, just like most gothic metal. Some power metal i like: Dominé, Rhapsody, Drakkar (first 2 albums only) and for example the album Twilight of days of Athena. (If I remembered well these bands are all italian ) But there's alot of boring power metal, not original or renewing and full of cliche's. An example of a power/fantasy metal band I like, try Freedom Call. That's considered to be fantasy metal. But a band like Rhapsody is also considered fantasy metal. Try the album Symphony of the enchanted lands of them. Excellent album.
I'm not a big fan of Metal but i am seriously in love with the lead singer of HIM. He looks a bit feminine, but oh well. I can get over that quite easy. Does anyone know his name? lol..i can't remember..
I love Nightwish and Stravatorious, whenever the male singer does not open his mouth. HIM are alright, yet nothing spectacular. I'm into older metal anyhow. I'll download some of the songs by the bands you posted, should be intriguing.
I happen to like a song or two of thiers... but that's the influence of forced listening to it, for hours, at a friend's house.
With the dude from stratovarius i think i would agree with you there....however, Marco ( male singer from nightwish) has a great voice and i dont have a problem with him at all. HIM ARE GREAT!! ( in my own opinion; i know they arent everyones thing tho), Ville Valo is stunning, and they are a great band to see live ( having seen them last january) peace and love xxxxx
Heehee Nightwish are coming to Glasgow in february!!! Im so happy.....i am sooooooooooooo going to see them when they come!!! And they are playing the day after my birthday too!! Sorry folks....im a little hyper today and im really happy that Nightwish are coming soon lol! peace and love xxxxxxx
"Recently discovered Within Temptation"... those guys ( and girl ) are so fucking popular here, if you said that you'd "discovered" them recently everyone would laugh at you. I like Within Temptation, Autumn, After Forever... keeping the Dutch scene alive.
yeah i know within temptation, Autumn and after forever are all huge in holland. They're all great bands, man! peace and love xxxxx
