Basic question. What is Gothic metal, I often hear from the articles of BURRN magazines lately?

I originally saw TON open up for Queensyrche and after my initial eyebrow raising have since followed them faithfully! Just saw them finish up the Road Rage tour last week. Definitely a super band, if you're into that sort of thing! And definitely a good band to start with in experimenting with "goth"....

I find most Black Metal unlistenable, and ridiculous. On the other hand-it is so extreme that it is almost "Avant Garde" in approach, which makes it far more entertaining than the current Rap/ Metal blend being touted from the Major labels and Media. Both Gothic and Black metal need to move out of formula, as the bands I have mentioned are doing.

Gothic Metal would be bands such as:

HIM (a more commercial form of it, but its pretty cool. teh best "new" band in years)

Tristania, Lacrimosa, heavenwood.

This music hasnt to be heavy or so, but is more of an depressive, dark, feeling.I dont know much of that style, but to me it seems t transport really intense dark, but happy at the same time feelings.

Susumu,If you want to i can send you an MP3 of HIM. Just contact me over e-mail!

Probably the two best labels working in this field are Dark Symphonies and Napalm Records. Two band I would recommend are Rain Fell Within from New Jersey, and Tristania from the UK., Tristania is an Incredible mix of Metal, Neo Classical and Choral Music, and is quite excellent. I have nothing to compare it to! The band's latest-"Beyond The Veil" is out on Napalm. Rain Fell Within's "Believe" CD is along similar lines, but not quite as intense as Tristania.

The whole genre is somewhat "Spooky" in my opinion, but there is some highly interesting music coming out the scene, so it's worth checking out.
