You\'re dutch right?

Well then just go to http://www.large.nl and look in the online catalogue. They\'ve got a lot of gothic metal bands.

Don\'t be a smart ass although you are right, Xalthar  :D . But what does matter is that those bands are good enough to be recommend to Izzy.

I love Nightwish/Within Temptation. Their music is haunting, melodious, but emotional and powerful... and gothic of course, what more could I ask for? :D

I can\'t suggest any other gothic metal bands because my music interest is fairly limited. However, if you\'re willing to check out my all-time favourite band EVER, go ahead- it\'s Nine Inch Nails.

Favourite NiN tracks:

The Great Below - Slow, emotional lyrics, depressive.
Heresy - Strong beat and music, powerful lyrics, angry.
The Perfect Drug - Fast paced and trippy, happy in a very weird way.
Closer - Raw (adult) lyrics, regular beat, sometimes angry.
March of the Pigs - Just weird. Fast paced, shouted lyrics, but dies suddenly a couple of times into an innocent little piano tune and happy words.

Oh dear goodness, no. :rolleyes: :P

I am crazy about Nightwish though, Kudos to Moogie for getting me into it. ;)

I\'ve been looking for more like them, maybe I\'ll try some o\' those ones there. *points at the caviar*

Heh, actually my Music list goes about like this:

1. Nightwish
2. Linkin Park
3. Rush
4. Coldplay
5. NiN
6. Our Lady Peace
7. KaZaA :P

That is my entire music history right there.

Maybe I\'ll try some diff Goth Rock ones and get some new favourites. :D

You should definately try out After Forever. It\'s a dutch Gothic Metal band, i went to a concert not that long ago, and they are ----*WOW*---- :D

BTW jedi, Kazaa in your music list???? :D:D:D I think i\'ll have to add it too then... :D

NiN is nice, they have various songs, from calm songs to verrrrry brutal ones...like it :))

Bah, it\'s all more or less sissy music... :P

And I like being a smartass when it comes to genres.. :]

Death metal is the one and only genre that has it all.. melody, brutality, guitar-solo\'s-that-make-you-drool, and drums! oh the drums!! :P

*drifts away, listening to Finntroll and In Flames*

Well, I have to admit, both Gothic and Metal have their good points, and I like the combination of the 2 very much :D
But there are many kinds of music I like  :]

Btw: Beat you to it, Izzy*dot: I became an ASS first ;) (Not that it matters, it\'s quality, not quantity! :D)

Wow, I really need to widen my horizons, the only one of those bands that rung a bell was nine inch nails.

*dodges shotgun shells Caldazar style* :P

Death is my favourite genre, but I also like gothic and True..

But if you want quality metal that will blow your mind, check out the swedish market...!

The swedes are the true masters of metal! ;)
