Ultimate Chart: Top 5 Gothicmetal albums ever!!!

How is gothic music artistic? because there's lots of fancy make-up and artwork with some bird who has a nice voice on it singing about lost love and some "mysterious" creepy guy on synths in the background?

Im quite aware that im stereotyping but im immensely bored
 
you know, i really can't imagine how can you be bored...diversity i guess... tell me then, which groups are for you far better than any of gothic metal ones?
 
No no, im not saying gothic metal is crap. Im just asking why it you think it's so much more artistic than other metal genres. I'm also not standing up for the billions of generic death metal bands either. I was pissed off as well as bored earlier, but i am no longer either of those
 
Well even though I dont think My Dying Bride are gothicmetal, they blow everything else out of the water in my opinion. I do very much enjoy later Tiamat
