		Gothic metal pioneers and arguably one of the best and most influential rock bands Britain has ever produced, 2007 marks Yorkshire's kings of gloom Paradise Lost's nineteenth year, and heralds the coming of their eleventh album, 'In Requiem', on May 21st.
		Their self-consciously controversial tactics set them apart from the British goth scene, having more to do with L.A. punk and heavy metal, and thus the band dubbed its sound "death rock" instead; however, their sensibility was ultimately similar enough that the "goth" designation stuck in the end.
		While Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride got more attention from underground doom metal fans, Liverpool natives Anathema were just as important in creating a new strain of doom (sometimes referred to as doom/death) that drew heavily from atmospheric goth metal and, in the early days, featured gruff death-style vocals.

		One of the more extreme forms of metal, death metal is basically an offshoot of thrash, with less melodic riffs and a low, growly, often almost unintelligible vocal style that at its best (or worst, depending on one's point of view) has been described as "cookie monster vocals".
		Black Sabbath are, of course, the fathers of metal in general, but their early work concentrated on slow riffing and thus is the primary influence on doom metal bands.
		Goth metal bands derive from earlier goth rock bands such as Sisters Of Mercy, with Type O Negative one of the most well-known such bands.

		Goth metal (also called Gothic metal) is a crossover between doom metal, heavy metal music and goth music itself; although the term 'metal' is debated by some who say very few elements of metal are present.
		Though Paradise Lost's Gothic (1991) is widely considered to be the first Gothic metal album, or even the first Gothic metal song ever created due to the duet of female vocals and death grunts, Celtic Frost had already combined operatic female vocals and death grunts in 1987 on their third album Into The Pandemonium.
		In general, Gothic metal lyrics focus on a variety of subjects: religion and God, heaven and hell, romance, (gothic) horror, depression, bereavement, emptiness, and death.

	Gothic metal Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gothic metal is a genre of heavy metal music that originated during the early 1990s in Europe as an outgrowth of doom-death, a subgenre of doom metal.
		Gothic metal tends to take influence from the doom metal, fl metal, and death metal subgenres of Heavy metal for its composition, heavily synthesizing the styles of their melody and rhythm ideas in its guitar work, often causing the music to be aggressive and fast paced.
		Bands are also often mistaken for being gothic metal, as people considered goths will attend the performance of a band, and the media takes to believing the band is part of the gothic metal genre due to the people who attend their concerts.

	Description of Gothic Music Types
		Goth-Rock: Frequently misunderstood in its aesthetics and misapplied as a term, goth rock is an offshoot of post-punk that existed primarily during the early to mid-'80s.
		Goth rock was generally not a critically acclaimed style, given its penchant for florid poetry, relentlessly mournful dirges, and melodramatic excess.
		Industrial metal lyrics also mirror the darkness and aggression of standard heavy metal, although the sensibility is filtered through the personal alienation of punk and alternative rock.

	Urban Dictionary: goth
		A goth will walk alone where a chav will hide inside his herd and though the goth may take a beating at least that goth was never a coward.
		A goth will listen to music that is meaningful to their life and thought provoking, a chav will listen to music which will tell him how to behave.
		Goth was originally a term used to describe people with a taste for certain bands eg: Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, etc. in the '80s when punk started to fade out, and with wardrobes predominantly fl.

	By Alicia Porter, Jan 1999
		Goth was not yet used as a term, and they were generally lumped together with all other underground groups as wavers or freaks.
		Goth rock/death punk/death rock: This is what gothic music began as, a darker form of punk rock music with a tendency toward misanthropy, the macabre, mystery and desolation.
		Goth is recognizing the balance of dark and light, life and death, without turning away, denying, or living in fear of the things some people find disturbing.

		The music is dark and looming for with complex elements of progressive and heavy metal and hard roughshod guitars from the thrash and doom genre with introspective and thoughtful lyrics which draw from many musical and non musical genres combined in the tradition of gothic rock music.
		Evanescence is a new band which is picking up the mantle where these euro goth metal bands left off incorporating traditional goth and goth metal to create a huge mainstream success while remaining close to the religious and thought provoking roots of the genre.
		The term goth meaning "gothic rock" was defined as such for a relatively short period in "goth History." As the music of the early 80's evolved, the term goth became redefined to mean "relating to the goth subculture."

	Goths for Jesus
		Goth is alternative because it is a minority scene that provides an alternative to modern mainstream music and fashion.
		Goth Rock is not to be confused with the thundering and growling of Hardcore Rock and Black/Death Metal, the loud heaviness of Industrial and EBM, or the obscenities of Shock Rock and some Metal acts.
		Goth itself is not a religion, it is merely a type of music and a style of clothing and appearance.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Entwine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Finland seems to have a glut of mainstream-ish goth metal bands these days, and it's this field where Entwine dwell.
		The closest comparison would probably be HIM or To/Die/For -- relatively simplistic song structures with a somber feel, featuring a midrange vocalist that at times conveys sadness and emotion quite well, though at times he sounds like he's trying just a bit too hard.
		Gone, the second of their three albums thus far, occasionally suffers from saminess but is well constructed and should satisfy goth metal fans, with the more recent Time Of Despair reportedly of similar style.

		Several concerts in all of Germany were completed where keyboard player Katrin, only a guest musician on their legendary demo tape, finally became a fullblown member.
		Perhaps most interesting, though, is that this 'goth metal band' is from the Midwestern USA -- Chicago, liberal bastion of Illinois, that is recently becoming a stage for arguably some of the most progressive music in the world
		The latest release from Norway’s leading Black Metal act Dimmu Borgir is due to arrive in North American stores on April 24th, and judging by the early response that the album has received, it is looking to be their most crowning achievement to date.

		Now, quite a few "arena goth" bands are starting to back off the goth imagery and establish themselves as regular rock bands which only proves how superficial the goth tag was when it comes to them.
		The only thing those two goth divisions have in common is their inherent cheesiness, which is fine if you're into that sort of thing (which I am for the most part).
		There's a maturity and sincerity to the feeling of the music that is in sharp contrast to the façade-fest that I've come to expect from anything with a goth tag.

	goth metal vs. electronic gothic shit - SIDE-LINE.COM
		i'm pretty surprised there are tons of goth metal fans in my country but virtually nobody listens to electro equivalents of that.
		a lot of metal fans dont even give electronic music a chance because most everything is sequenced, theres no drummer, and you can't really "play" it live.
		but a lot of metal guys ive met, usually in bands themselves, have echoed a similar pov about electronic music.

		The Portuguese metal scene is growing very slowly, but I think there is a big change towards music nowadays, so I think it will be only a short time until there are more bands coming out of my country and of course we will help in any way possible.
		The funny thing is the way his lyrics fit with the songs we write, but it's from the many years of working together and the long talks we have.
		To continue with all this hard work for many years to come without loosing our control and the ever so lasting flames that are in side us and keep us going, now that's a difficult task.

		The kind of music she writes has been described as opera influenced gothic rock.
		Even though the band has been founded rather by chance: while visiting a concert one day in 1996 Dorian (guitar) met Jarlaath (voc.) and soon after they had rather introduced each other they found themselves philosophizing about metal in general and in particular.

		and i like their style cuz i rly hate the male death grunts present in most goth bands and this one doesnt use them...
		i agree with the above^^ partially...as they lack many goth elements such as death grunts and stuff, bu the themes of their songs are often of a gothic nature...

		Ahhhh, goth metal, the red-headed stepchild of metal; not heavy enough for true extreme metal heads, not goth enough for true goths.
		While many goth metal acts tend to be far poppier, drippy and keyboard heavy, Embraze are actually faster, and more aggressive than many of their peers, with much more of a death metal influence.
		While variety is the spice of life, sometimes variety isn't really needed and Lauri and co. should be able to carry themselves on the strength of his voice and their natural song writing skills rather than force other stuff in.

	The Canadian National Newspaper: Reflections on Heavy Metal Fashion
		Heavy metal fashion is the style of dress, body modification, make-up, hairstyle, and so on, affected by many fans of heavy metal, or, as they are often called, metalheads.
		The style and clothing of metal has absorbed elements from influences as diverse as the musical influences from which the genre has borrowed: modern metal fashion is a hotch-potch of punk, goth (particularly for female metalheads), Military Fashion and even various historical fashions.
		T-shirts for metal bands are almost universally fl, with only those bands popular enough to have fans beyond the metal community normally bothering to print T-shirts in other colours, though some print white shirts, normally as a statement against conformity.

	www.nuclearblast.de :: View topic - Where are the good goth metal band?
		It seems that all goth metal band either broke up(crematory) or sold out(theatre of tragedy,anathema,paradise lost ect...).So is goth metal dead or are there still some good band around?
		Goth metal is a word that works for so many shit bands (like Nightwish, H.I.M. etc.) and also for those that are no gothic (like Therion).
		I hope not...because goth rock is dead...true ebm is dead...darkwave is dying(used to be good now it suck badly) and if goth metal die there will be no good "gothic" music anymore and the only thing we will hear in goth club will be be future pop and synth pop....beurk!

	Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Stench Of Death - Retrospect
		I like me some Gore Metal, but I feel the genre is long past its prime and there's very few bands left around to give it any credibility anymore.
		Every so often the album will also delve into a pretty cool Black Metal romp that really adds character to their music, though these moments are few and far between.
		I wouldn't recommend this to die hard Black Metal fans because there's just not enough of that genre in Stench Of Death's music to make you fully appreciate it, but I highly recommend it to the Death Metal fans.
