try candlemass or st vitus (if their album is still around)
or try earlier Paradise Lost especially the gothic album...
for local band, try Modar ...

Currently listening back to older numbers such as Megadeth's Rust in Peace and some other non-metal like Tool's Lateralus and Staind's Dysfunction

something which I dislike about those so-called goth metal bands is that they're too melodic, sometimes too slow to be called 'metal'. some barely even had solos on them.

hmmm, i jz download trans siberian orchestra, do they consider as symphonic ? i tot it was progressive orchestral metal ? they rocks haha. I reason to therion nightwish kamelot, epica, sirenia and tristania all that ehhe.

moonspell not bad though

xnobys thanks for the recommendation, will try to get their song in the *ahem way. hehe

ANTHRAX
ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian was recently featured as an extra on HBO's "Deadwood". Scott plays a bodyguard protecting George Hearst.

RAGE
In a recent interview with BW&BK , RAGE frontman/founder Peter "Peavy" Wagner discussed the difference between composing with an orchestra for their new album, Speak Of The Dead, versus the way they composed the classical pieces for the Lingua Mortis album in 1996:
Peavy: "It was a completely different thing this time around. Victor (Smolski/guitars) composed and arranged everything for the orchestra by himself, and I did compose some of the classical material. I was involved at the very beginning when we discussed what kind of direction the new album was going to take.
But when we got together to rehearse the ideas I saw that Victor had everything straight in his mind. We decided that Victor would focus on the orchestral thing and I would take care of the metal stuff.
So really, it's the best of both worlds on this album."

IN FLAMES
IN FLAMES bassist Peter Iwers has posted the following message at the band's official website:

"Dublin - Ireland - Ohoy Sailors. We are in Dublin now for the first time ever and it's great to be here. You would think that I would take this opportunity to get out and see stuff, but I've actually spent the entire day in my hotel room. Enjoying some private time for a change, but tomorrow I'll be out and check things out. I've heard a lot of things about shows in Ireland, and I really hope that tomorrow's sold-out show will be as great as all those rumours promises. But I think so. This whole tour has been amazing like I said before, and our first time as headliners on a UK-tour is working out really well so far as well. The shows have been crazy. One time, (at bandcamp) we went to the pub (of course) to watch some soccer with our friends in SEPULTURA. Of course the game was cancelled due to rain, so we decided to start a FIFA tournament on the x-box instead. So far only a few games have been played but hell what everybody gets wired up around this. Hehe... me too. That's it for now my friends."

IN flames new album - Come clarity..

Check out the samples..

Rust in peace... yumyum. Thats the only metal album i never get sick of.

Goth metal bands like crimsonfire?

Like those of Nightwish to be precise

CoF pwns these kind of bands.... anytime anywhere

This post has been edited by soulfly: Apr 6 2006, 01:48 PM

CoF = Crimsonfire or Cradle of filth? lol

I think the latter.

Crimsonfire..... that should be CF

Only listen to COF until 'Cruelty & the Beast " album after that found nothing interesting bout COF. Nightwish is totally different type of music compared to COF...and Dimmu pwns COF....

btw COF produces an album per year which is really like producing 'kicap'

Currently in love with Lacuna Coil's new album - Karmacode

Those never listen to Nasum can preview here<---

Must hear - Nasum Revolution II.mp3 (0.36) (very abstract)
