Gothic Metal

[TheBahggs]

Any good gothic metal bands like katatonia or anathema that could be good for me?

 

[Psychonaut]

Rapture

 

[Taylor]

Paradise Lost.

They have a lot of different periods, so do your research and don't just get one album.

I would recommend getting Draconian Times and One Second as starting points. Get them both though, they sound different.

...of course, this is assuming you don't already have all their stuff.

 

[The Ozzman]

Sentenced - The Funeral Album
Almost anything from Type O Negative

Older Entwine. You might like their newer stuff too; it's a bit poppier though than Katatonia.

Also, if you're in the mood for something different, try Virgin Black.

They play really operatic, classically influenced gothic metal, with a mix of clean and harsh vocals. Check out the song "And the Kiss of God's Mouth" on their myspace.

 

[Psychonaut]

I have Somber Romance. It has some really cool stuff on it. I bought it because of "Walk Without Limbs".

 

[Belligerent]

I second Rapture. Try Futile.
Also:
Draconian
Officium Triste
Novembers Doom

I have Somber Romance. It has some really cool stuff on it. I bought it because of "Walk Without Limbs".

Somber Romance is a great album. Very dark stuff.

 

[Seditious]

Sentenced - The Funeral Album

their worst album

Tristania - Beyond The Veil is one of the only gothic metal albums I've ever gotten into. It's actually pretty damned good.
