/r/GothicMetal
Main Gothic Metal subreddit.
With Doom Metal at its roots, Gothic Metal is defined by dark, depressed, passionate, and romantic themes, often incorporating Romantic Era musical elements. At its best, Gothic Metal combines the aggression and ponderous feeling of Doom Metal with the melodramatic imagery and musical style of Gothic Rock.

Hi everyone, new account.
Just wanted to let you know about a new free metal, folklore & gothic art newsletter we're starting soon. If that sounds like your sort of thing please subscribe at: https://wailingossuary.beehiiv.com

Couldn't see any thread rules so hope you're OK with promotion (we have also posted in the main r/Metal sub) and we hope this doesn't count as spam! We're sure we'll be corrected if so 😁
Rock on 🤘🏻🖤💀
Got it at MFVF IX in 2011 when I was 14. Never got much use out of it cuz it never fit quite right. Now it's evena little blouse-y on me :)
I know I shouldn't have, because money is kinda tight right now, but I stopped by Amoeba Music in San Francisco (just to browse, obviously). I think someone with similar taste to myself recently dumped a portion of their collection there, because I was really impressed with the gothic (and symphonic, but mostly gothic and doom) metal options they had (pre-owned, of course). If you're in the area, I recommend checking it out.
Some things that I saw that I did not buy:
Some other stuff I did end up buying (just for context):
I only looked at CDs, they have a pretty sizable vinyl selection, too. If you like 90s/2000s gothic and symphonic extreme metal, and are into buying physical media, I recommend.
I love Watain. Thank you for listening 🖤
FFO older Anathema, Katatonia, Rapture, Daylight Dies, etc... mastered by Dan Swano (Unisound)... file under: Gothic #DeathDoom

Been always wanting to ask this but what does gothic metal fashion look like,what distinguishes it from other metal subgenres?
I'm going to see Blackbriar on their North American tour with Battle Beast and I'm super super hyped! I'm hoping I can print this out and put it on the stage for Zora Cock. ❤️
Here is my deep dive video on the origins, musical nuances, and some of the notable albums of gothic metal. Hope you like it!
