hey um I'm REALLY into Nightwish, and wanna get more stuff like that, so are there any other awesome progressive metal/gothic metal/symphonic-operatic(?)-Melodic gothic metal bands that have chicks as vocalists? T'would be a GREAT help to me if you could recommend anything to this youngen deprived of decent gothic metal bands atm!!!!!!! :)
Thankyou all xXx
 
Tristania and Sirenia have both male and female vocalists. Tristania is decent, whereas I don't care that much for Sirenia.

You could also check out Leaves' Eyes, you'll probably like them.
 
AFTER FOREVER. i just got their new release "invisible circles" and its very good. the chic singin has an amazing voice
~gR~
 
Check out the following:
Dreams Of Sanity (especially their debut "Komödia")

Soulslide (featuring former Dreams Of Sanity-vocalist Sandra Schleret, you can download one song - "The Dreamer" - from their official website www.soulslide.net ; you find it under "stuff" and "files")

The Third And The Mortal (maybe their first two releases "Sorrow" and "Tears Laid In Earth" might appeal the most to you; for more info go to their official website http://mortal.info - there are also a few soundsamples, unfortunately only about 30 seconds each, and a full-length video of their song "Magma" which you can download)

The Gathering (you might prefer their albums "Mandylion" and "Nighttime Birds" to their latest albums; www.gathering.nl )

Atrox (some of their songs might be too weird for you - they definitely sound very different from Nightwish -, but to find out for yourself, just go to www.atrox-web.com ; you can also download some of their songs in mp3-format from the samples section there)

Finally, you should visit this website:

www.soniccathedral.com

I guess there you´ll find nearly anything you´re looking for - music-wise.
 
Not even war metal is more abhorrent than the mopey silliness made by gothic metal bands fronted by women in PVC, which somehow always find their ways onto napalm records.
