		Stryper, was the first band to gain acceptance in the secular world (though just how "metal" they were is subject to debate), and then bands such as Barren Cross, Bloodgood and others came along, proving that real metal and spiritual lyrics could indeed coexist.

	Tristania: Atmospheric Gothic Metal
		Gothic metal doesn’t always translate convincingly in a live setting, and it’s often not the most visually stunning display.
		The dominant sound here is Gothic/Symphonic Metal bringing to mind early Theatre Of Tragedy with slight hints of symphonic flened metal, but instead of writing their own versions of those bands songs, Tristania take their influences and create something truly unique.
		With other acts such as Trail Of Tears and The Sins Of Thy Beloved releasing impressive albums recently, it seems there is another Metal resurgence on the horizon in Norway, headed by a new generation of musicians with a flair for the dramatic and an obsession with dark romanticism befalling to sorrowful tragedy.

	Cemetary: Gothic/Doom Metal
		Moving further away from the origins of death metal towards the realm of dark rock/doom metal, Cemetary’s approach relies on mood-altering compositional shifts and gloomy atmospheres through simplistic arrangements where the minimalism of rock format discourages technical disruption of emotional flow.
		Having settled on a reliable collection of musicians, Mathias Lodmalm has accomplished his most impressive assembly of songs for this effort, and the fundamental aspects of the band’s sound have been refined to an extent that the music is provided a sharpness and a sense of clarity ultimately unknown to previous releases.
		The traditional structure of rock-song format has been Cemetary’s mode of operation as far back as their death metal era, yet what has occurred during the course of the band’s career is an even further trimming of material that could possibly threaten the directness and overall effect of each individual song.

		The general styles of metal I will touch on are metal in general, doom, death, thrash, and fl metal.
		This is not to say that the Death Metal style is not in and of itself distinctive because it is. The vocalizations and inflections of Death Metal definitely give it a category all it's own.
		The distinctive growling of Death Metal is used often in other styles of metal music as well, so Death is probably the more common of the styles, whether by itself or a part of a mix with other styles.

	Sonic Cathedral WebZine - Gothic Metal, A Fading Tale
		And there lies the rub: the problem exists in the fact that most of us got into Gothic metal in the first place through the sounds of early Tristania, LC and Theatre Of Tragedy whose offerings are now almost disparate from what they used to be.
		Nevertheless, this is how musical genres, bands and styles develop and it’s clear to see that femme-fronted Gothic Metal in the late 90s is no longer the inventive nightling it used to be.
		It’s a bit of shame that just over ten years down the line since female-fronted Gothic metal came into its own, that many of us would plead for a back-to-basics approach to the genre, reigniting the torch that carried it this far before commercialism got its hold.
