Anyone Listen to Gothic Metal???

**skelooth** · 12-28-2005, 06:48 PM

I've never really listened to it before, but decided to download a "best of nightwish" CD....

It grew on me fast. It makes me picture a huge LOTR style battle with orcs and wizards and stuff. Gothic culture (fairies, magic, medieval mythology, swords) is pretty cool minus all the :gay: vampire crap.

Download some Opeth, skel. Their early stuff is heavy and fast, their later stuff is slow, melodic, and balad-esque. Awesome band.

Sweet. I just downloaded their last album... I'm only listening to the first song so far, but I'd wager they are more on the lines of death metal (thinking obitchuary, deicide, etc) with some 'soft spots'.

Awesome.

"The Drapery Falls" is a great Opeth song Skel.

Skel, I recommend the following Opeth Albums:

Blackwater Park
Ghost Reveries
Damnation (very ballad like, quite... ?poetic? music)
Still Life

Also, if you like metal and its endless sub genres, I suggest you check out, if you haven't:

Meshuggah
Mushroomhead
Sonata Artica

Yeah Opeth is.

I have all their albums, they have some nice instrumental pieces as well as melodic death metal.

Face of Melinda is one of my favorites from the newest album.

:rock:

I also suggest them. Fantastic band and one that I am glad my buddy told me about.

How about some love for Type O Negative in here!
Other stuff to check out:

Children of Bodom
Therion
Dimmu Borgir
Lacuna Coil
Epica
Finntroll
hell, that's enough for now...

Children of Bodom and Lacuna Coil, you would probably like for sure.

**skelooth** · 01-02-2006, 01:59 AM

I think I'm happy with the goth metal i've downloaded up to this point. I'm still a die hard punk rocker

Not at all. "Extreme progressive metal."
