All the ones that get the most attention, like Lacuna Coil and Theatre des Vampires, are either very mediocre or are just plain awful.Fri, 16 May 2008 17:07:00 GMTDr. Petehttp://www.livingformetal.com/forum/Topic29169-19-1.aspxYeah, I have to agree with voodoo. Aside from HIM and Theateres des Vampires (sp?), this is a sub-genre I am not that familiar with. i do enjoy a sprinkling of gothic elements in other genres, though. Particularly in my doom metal, à la Virgin Black, Swallow the Sun, My Dying Bride, etc.Fri, 16 May 2008 08:50:24 GMTThe_Quadfatherhttp://www.livingformetal.com/forum/Topic29169-19-1.aspxGothic metal gets little love here, hence no specific forum. I'm not a huge fan, but then again I am not all that familiar with too many bands.Fri, 16 May 2008 05:43:31 GMTvoodoohttp://www.livingformetal.com/forum/Topic29169-19-1.aspxI don't see a gothic metal sub-forum, so I'll leave it here.
