Its a guilty pleasure.

Can anyone else recommend any other good bands besides Sentenced, To/Die/For, or Poisonblack?

how is that a guilty pleasure? there's nothing gay about listening to sentenced. one of my all time favorite bands.

to me, an example of a guilty pleasure is when someone who listens mostly to death metal and black metal admits to liking the latest miley cyrus song.

You're right. I shouldn't be ashamed.

So uh...no suggestions?

Ben- go directly to MetalGeorge's myspace, message him, and prepare for a laundry list.

Try Fall of the Leafe and Darkseed in the meantime. Good stuff.

or one who listens to ICP.

Word. Thanks Pam. Congratulations on the baby, by the way.

Katatonia

There's a lot of good bands in this genre - a lot from Finland and Sweden.

Thanks!
And second on the Katatonia- but I'm assuming you've heard them.

old Tristania is awesome.

Almost forgot- For My Pain...awesome.

fall of the leafe is one of the greatest and most underappreciated bands ever.

Ur all gayz. Listen to Lifelover.

Yea I know For My Pain. Wicked awesome. I don't really consider Katatonia to be goth rock as much as bands like For My Pain or To/Die/For. Maybe the newer stuff. Same with Tristania.

I downloaded this band Zeraphine. Really good.

Moonspell, Heavenwood (can't find Heavenwood's stuff in the States, though...grrrr), Sentenced (obviously of the the best), Crematory...

this.

THIS.


THIS!

Just cut out the middle man and listen to members of Lifelover's other projects.

Sjuklig Intention

What the eff.

Swans are the shit.

If this is the garbage this kid likes, he obviously won't get/dig Swans.

gaaah.. poisonblack ..totally forgot about them and katatonia is amazing. also too be super cheesy.. you always have bands like lordi and the 69 eyes. (though lordi is more shock rock and goth) and another fave of mine in entwine.. i think they're from finland. wintersun is like melodic idk black metalish.. they're decent. OBV cradle of filth.. my dying bride.. lacuna coil.. nightwish.. type o negative.

electric wizard...

(aliester crowley is the background of their page.. cant get more goth than that)

Yea man. I just don't GET it.

Heavenwood sounds pretty awesome. Thanks.

my favorite flower metal albums

moonspell - wolfheart, irreligious
sentenced - amok
katatonia - discouraged ones, last fair deal gone down
rotting christ - sleep of the angels
tiamat - clouds, wildhoney, deeper kind of slumber, skeleton skeletron
amorphis - tales from the thousand lakes, elegy

"Flower" metal? Never heard that. Discouraged Ones and Amok are two of my favorites.

ENTWINE!

Flower Metal. lol.

lulz at flower metal. it's an apt term.

i could never get into entwine. some of their songs are decent but one of their records sounded like linkin park to me. it was like a really really gay sentenced.

discouraged ones is probably the album with the most influence on my musical tastes ever.

I dunno if I'd call them "goth rock", but I'm pretty much obsessed with Novembre.

novembre is a great band. i've been a fan for a long time. i think the two newest releases are their best.

Rain Fell Within

here's some good ones:

oblique rain
the eternal
the foreshadowing
how like a winter
dark suns
klimt 1918
autumnblaze

October Tide?

this thread has evolved into sentenced-type metal and doom death.

new poisonblack is on bunalti. listening now.

The Old Dead Tree

i like them, but have to be in the mood for em
