Let's Share Some Goth
(Per JohnRice's request)
I didn't want to inhibit discussion of any sub-genre ; so I thought I'd keep the title vague. So from Goth-Rock to Darkwave-Ambient; what are some of your favorite bands/artists?

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
I'm so in on this discussion...
I'll start by saying, I seriously enjoy Evanescence. I know there is some unwritten rule that you're not supposed to, but I don't care.
I seem to lean toward the female vocal Goth bands. My appreciation probably hit its height after I saw the Silent Force Tour concert DVD from Within Temptation. It is one of my favorite concert DVDs. They are better live than in the studio.
Others I enjoy are...
Tool
A Perfect Circle
After Forever
Beseech
Edenbridge
Epica
Fields of the Nephilim
Leaves' Eyes
Theater of Tragedy
Tristania
Type O Negative
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
Wooooooo slow down magnuim. Lol!.
I too enjoy female fronted bands of many styles.
I did like Fallen. My only problem with Evanescence is what I'm sure many long time Lacuna Coil fans have. The similarities seemed a bit calculated. (See Lacuna Coil's Unleashed Memories). Lacuna Coil's latest Karma Code is much heavier than their last run(Comalies) with their guitars de-tuned even further down (around C/B Korn range).
Type O Negative is Cristina Scabbia's(Lacuna Coil Vocalist) favorite band.

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
Yeah, you're right, there is a definite similarity between Lacuna Coil and Evanescence (plus some male vocals) though Cristina has a much more femanine voice than Amy Lee (who sounds like total crap live, BTW). I only have Comalies, but may get my hands on some more tomorrow.

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
I saw Evanescence live early on the tour last year and I though Amy sounded pretty good.
Does Flyleaf fit in there? That chick can scream...not too bad live for a new/young band.
Does NIN count?
Tool & APC are easily among my favorites. The APC show last year was excellent, though I could have done without the Iha song. I love the guy, but not a big fan of his solo stuff.
I've heard of Type-O negative, but have not heard them. Where should I start?

I'm not sure, but I think all their stuff may be OOP. Bloody Kisses is worth hearing, if only for their outrageous version of Summer Breeze.

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
Flyleaf I wouldn't consider "Goth." I got the album thinking I was going to hear more scream ala "I'm So Sick" but no. I thought the album was very average. "I'm So Sick" is a great song though.
John, I haven't heard any Type O Negative. I'll try and locate the mentioned.
I tried Within Temptation a while back and I found it pretty over-the-top.
Get your hands on the Ambeon album(I believe there is only one). May be out of print but you can find it. Let's try and post some links maybe to some Myspace Band Pages. I'll PM a moderator and make sure it's cool.
John, I think you would like Unleashed Memories by Lacuna Coil much more than Comalies.

Re: Let's Share Some Goth
No problem with the link, Zen.
Also, what about some of the "darker" industrial bands? And what about, oh, Skinny Puppy and such?
