I've been wanting to listen to a few new artists lately, because I'm started to feel like "I have 900+ songs on my computer and nothing to listen to." Could you recommend any good alternative or... I dunno how they would be described... bands similar to Nightwish and Within Temptation? You know with lots of orchestra?

People call it Goth Rock, but that label irritates me to no end as it's false. Nightwish could be labeled Opera Metal though. I'd prefer a female singer if you recommend any type of Opera Metal-ish bands, because I LOVE singers like that to death, but ones like Symphony X are nice too. I dunno if this type of thread is allowed so I guess to give it a second purpose, what's your favourite alternative rock band?

I don't like Nightwish or Within Temptation, but I really enjoy good symphonic metal, like Haggard, Hollenthon and Therion.

Full Motion City Soundtrack rox.

I would recommend Type-O-Negative.

It can be sort of opera-ish metal, but maybe more metal. He's got a very deep voice, something like a tenor, or bass voice, I suppose, so its far from a female's voice.

Anyways, they're awesome. Give them a listen if you haven't already.

Tapping the Vein comes to mind, but that's probably just because of the female vocalist. They do an awesome cover of Cornflake Girl. They're kind of underrated though, really hard to find. Definetly not orchestra-ish.

Tapping The Vein impressed me very much. The reminded me of another good band with a chick singer, Head, that I like very much. Thanks!
