It makes me wonder, why it is, that there´s barely any girls out there being into metal respectively "living" it on the outside too.. Is it maybe because they have a smaller potential as far as aggressions are concerned and because they´re too mature to wander the streets of whatever place...

any gothmetal fans outthere?

anybody else outhere having a clue about who invented the "beauty and the beast"- style?

Never heard of Holy Moses but i´m sure as hell gonna check it out- thanx for the tip and your wish is my command: *rattle*rattle*rattle*rattle* :grin: -Mart..

..c´mon people- am i the only one along with Kveldssanger who has any clue at all about this? I sure hope not..

That´s exactly what i think too!!! i just wanted to make sure that i´m not mistaken- so like i said before- feel free to prove me/us wrong- if you know of a band who did the beauty & beast thing even before Celtic frost back in the mid eighties.. input (highly) appreciated!!! thanx in...

...I wanna find out who "invented" the beauty and the beast style in metal which i consider the most enchanting aspect of (goth)metal in itself. So i´d be glad if you would all search your memories as to what the oldest Album or single- featuring that style is, that you know of. Thanx in...

..i´m glad, that Tristania and Trail of tears- Napalm records acts are known overthere- seems to me like the chicagoan Napalm collegues do a good job.. however i´m not all too thrilled about the latest Tristania release "World of glass"- (and i´m not the only one)- being as Morten "the...

Yesterday i somehow felt the need to do a bit of research regarding gothmetal as well as gothmusic in itself encouraged by the discussion going on in this thread. I happened to learn, that there´s even more different perceptions to it, than i would have ever been willing to accept- IF i...

Well- as far as the "Beauty and the beast metal" goes (i don´t like to call it that though- as it unjustifiedly reduces the whole style to merely the way it´s being sung -despite of the complex and often breathtaking compositions- created by the some of the most impressive and creative...

..you speak from my heart man (no offense to Warmaster of course- it´s just a matter of perception) There are indeed very few gothmetal bands who are more or less original and demanding in their ideas- which is why i could hardly think of any further bands to mention, fitting that...

first off: thanks for replying guys.. Now it occurs to me, that there´s quite a few differences between people´s perceptions regarding gothmetal which i suppose stem from the fact, that we´re all from different parts of the world. I for one am a (proud) citizen of the homecountry of...

I´m totally into gothmetal as it´s the only kind of music, authentically representing my inner landscapes and abysses, coming from my very soul so to speak whereas genres such as death, trash, black- (with a few exceptions) and powermetal and many more are nowhere near to being capable of...
