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.

Rules:

  1. All content is welcome as long as it's related to gothic metal, but any music that's not explicitly gothic metal must be specified in the title.

  2. Images are not allowed as submissions. If you need to post an image, please include it as part of a fleshed out self post.

  3. No direct links to illegal/pirated content..

  4. Please don't use the downvote as an "I disagree" button, it's here to filter out stuff that doesn't belong. If downvoting literal spam, please report it too, so that we are alerted and can remove it.

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 :)

The gothic/symphonic doom and black metal at San Francisco's Amoeba Music

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:

  • Madder Mortem - Mercury (original 1999 pressing)
  • Dismal Euphony - Autumn Leaves - The Rebellion of Tides (digipak) They also had the self-titled EP, but I bought that :)
  • Aesma Daeva - The Eros of Frigid Beauty (you don't come by that very often), and Dawn of the New Athens
  • Lacrimas Profundere - Memorandum
  • Angizia - Das Schachbrett des Trommelbuben Zacharias
  • Equinox ov the Gods - Fragments of Lust and Decay (2007) and Images of Forgotten Memories (1996)
  • Midnattsol - Where Twilight Dwells
  • The Siebenburgen discography through Plagued Be Thy Angel (I picked up the debut, Loreia)
  • Avrigus - The Secret Kingdom
  • Rotting Christ - Triarchy of the Lost Lovers, and Theogonia
  • They had some things by Katatonia, I know they're really popular, I just don't have the need right now to buy anything by them

Some other stuff I did end up buying (just for context):

  • Ashes You Leave - The Passage Back to Life
  • Orphanage - Oblivion
  • Todesbonden - Sleep Now, Quiet Forest
  • Graveworm - Underneath the Crescent Moon, and Scourge of Malice

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.
