I really like ebonyLake and portrayal of guilt, I havent been able to find much else that invokes such a similar feeling of intense creepy evil

The ongoing year is reaching the end. Which song deserves a place on this playlist? One song/album in case album has been released.

These are undoubtedly my favourite gothic metal bands. I especially love, respectively, Widow's Weeds, Lake of Sorrow, and Aégis.

I've been trying to find songs/albums/bands similar to those but haven't been able to discover much except for very few bands – Artrosis stood out but it's still not quite there.

What I'm looking for is a sorrowful (even church-like) melody that presents both clean vocals and growls (the beauty and the beast kinda thing.)

I've searched for this on this very subreddit before, but I unfortunately didn't see any similarities between these bands and most I've seen recommended. I'm not looking for stuff like Paradise Lost or Type O Negative, for instance.

Any recommendations will be highly appreciated!

I love NIN and Type O Negative… I wasn’t allowed to ask about Type O in the goth subreddit so I was directed here 😂 I’m mostly into metal but do like goth. Any recommendations based on these two bands?

My collection of official Artrosis releases (studio albums, live albums, and singles, including both English and Polish versions of their full length albums). For those who don't know, Artrosis is a Polish band who played really atmospheric gothic/symphonic metal before becoming a mixture of gothic metal, progressive metal, industrial, and atmospheric rock.

Their first three album run of Ukryty wymiar (1997), W imię nocy (1998), and Posród kwiatów i cieni (1999) is some of my favorite gothic metal of all time. For something a bit more modern, their last album Odi et Amo (2015) is also really good.

Draconian times is a life changing album, i highly recommend it if you havent listened to it yet

I knew this band back in 2015. They actually had a page in the Metal Archives, altought is no longer there. Iirc, they're from Denmark and this was their only release called "Fraction of Faith".

I don't know if someone already mentioned this band here, but I urge you to give it a spin. The perfect mixture between 90's Goth Rock with heavy distorted guitars. It's worth every single song.

Hi, everybody.

Which Gothic Metal band do you think would be the best to cover the song "Deep blue" by Ladytron?

I think the old BESEECH, first line-up, the early sound of BESEECH. What do you think?

Which other bands could be?

I really would like to hear a Gothic Metal version / cover of "Deep blue".

Thank you! (and sorry for bad english)

Best regards from Guadalajara, Jalisco, México!

Hello forum. Ive always loved gothic and doom metal. Draconian is my favourite band. However I'm at the stage of life where I'm coming out of the dark and depression times and going into positive and uplifting times and I seek positive lyrics. However most mainstream pop/rock music just doesn't give me the same feeling. So I was wondering if there were any bands in this genre that had positive affirming lyrics with the same dark sound. Thanks 🤘.

Happy Halloween everyone! We are proud to announce our latest release.A new & improved version of Red Devil http://imbolg.hearnow.com
