Looking for bands like Septicflesh

[Godhead59]

Well, the guys over at Encyclopedia Metallum didn't really help me, well they just ignored me completely
I'm looking for bands that combine the gothic style of orchestration and choirs with death metal.
I'll be glad if you guys could help me find some - my reference for you guys would be the two last albums by Septicflesh, Sumerian Daemons & Communion

Thanks!

I'd say both Moonspell and Dimmu Borgir are quite similar in the way of combining gothy and extreme parts.

Well I'm not a fan of Dimmu Borgir but I'll try Moonspell. Thanks! Any other bands?

Ermm, Virgin Black I guess, they are kind of doom metal, but they are more than just that, Rowan London sings Opera and also growls, but I wouldn't consider it death metal. Although they do combine 19th century classical music. Check them if you haven't already, they are very good I think. And the kiss of God's mouth is awesome.

Dimmu and Moonspell? Pretty loose comparisons.

This isn't a comparison, but if you like hearing very different kinds of death metal (like Septicflesh) then try Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris. Awesome cd with middle-eastern influences.

Well, I've tried some Moonspell. They're pretty cool and all, but not really what I was looking for. I'll look into those recommendations, thanks Indrid Cold and baarg.
