"Tim Burton" Metal

[theoden236]

Just curious if there are any bands out there that would fit this title; stuff thats kind of "out there." You know: dark humor, pseudo-gothic, somewhat-quirky kind of metal. Unexpect might fit this title. Any ideas?

Not "metal", but definitely "Tim Burton".

[Zephyrus]

Not metal, but Oingo Boingo is THE Tim Burton band.

I would give Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale a listen.

 

[damnromulans]

The Vision Bleak are pretty steampunk-turn-of-the-century-opium-den-freakshow.

 

[JontRevolting]

I would give Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale a listen.

I was about to say the exact same thing.It's about as 'Tim Burton'ish as any metal i've heard.

 

[Doomguy]

I can recall Cradle of Filth citing Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas as a strong inspiration, so have a look at their early work.

 

[Burkhard]

Burkhard beat me to it. Stolen Babies is pretty much exactly what you're looking for

I also just realized that Vesania also kind of fits this description, particularly the newer stuff. And maybe Asgaard.
