Anyone here into Gothic or Symphonic Metal? 16:31 - Dec 20 with 45106 viewsswisscottage

Really like Evanescence after first hearing Bring Me to Life and My Immortal on the Daredevil soundtrack back in 2003 and have most of their albums, but never really investigated the gothic or symphonic metal genres back then.

About two weeks ago I heard Amaranth by Nightwish which blew me away and I started looking into the whole Gothic/Symphonic genres. ( I know they're not the same, but there's a big overlap) and I just love the Classical female vocals backed up by symphonic metal.

So currently (excluding Evanescence) I've been listening to and rank in terms of my favorites:
Inside Temptation
Nightwish
Epica
After Forever ( because Floor Jansen is now lead vocalist in Nightwish so I though I'd check them out) - I haven't checked out Revamp yet probably will this weekend.


So from anyone that is really into this genre; are there any other bands you'd recommend, other than me pulling up the 'top 10 gothic metal bands' from Google :) ?

I'm not sure if you guys are into this 'Supergroup' but Ms Scabbia sung on the first album which is pretty decent and floor sang on the second which I bought last week. (only on single tracks)

They are both very good the guitar is amazing.

Anyway enjoy

This Siberian band randomly started following me on Insta so I checked them out.

Not bad at all.

May be of interest to some. I'd never heard of them.

Not bad and I love the fact that they started following you!

Thanks. This sounds really promising! It looks as if there are three of these “demo” tracks on YouTube, ahead of a full album release in 2021. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on these guys. Symphony Metal TV reckons that they’re sound is reminiscent of early Nightwish!

You're welcome. Lets hope they progress.

The Vivaldi Metal Project was brilliant.

See what you think when the new one comes out.

Snow White Blood have a new album, HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL, coming out at the end of the week. The German group (who I'm ashamed to admit I've only just stumbled across) "combine the variety of sounds in symphonic metal with the world of fairytales from a far-off time." Definitely worth checking out, including their earlier album, ONCE UPON A FEARYTALE.

The first album was a banger.

If you like Vivaldi. The album has 4 choirs and lots of orchestras and contributors. When you take all that out not bad live.

From Finnish symphonic metal group, HER ALONE:



There are four different versions of INTO THE NIGHT, including orchestral and acoustic (just check on YouTube).

Another doomed attempt to take you back to the source...

RIP Christa Ludwig. She made this classic recording in 1965, and indirectly inspired my avatar. Jump in about 4'45", as Bartok starts with romance and slides into horror with a push of his finger, then back again.

Not quite Metal, but I've got hooked on Eurielle, reminded me of Within Temptation's Mother Earth album.

My favourite song of hers:
