Goth Music / Culture

[Vincent Valentine]

Cradle of Filth are not goth. And they most definately aren't goth metal. Their music bares no similarites to the goth style of music, which as already stated, is an idustrial derived sound that blends some elements from EBM and darkwave music. In general. There are always exceptions, of course.

Of course they are not Goth. They are Gothic metal, the thing is, as I believe I had said Goth rock and Gothic metal are only similar in name. Cradle of Filth may take some very small influences from black metal, but at the core they are what is refered to in the metal community as Gothic metal.

(I'm one of the few goths who accept goth metal as a legitimate genre. Many don't)

Which is good, because those that don't accept it as a legit genre are ignorant of metal.

Darling... none of that was directed at you. I wasn't arguing the validity of what you were saying in the slighest.

Haha >_>;; *runs*

Alright so ... uh. I like Dead Can Dance and Lacrimosa, are there any similar artists I should check out that I may like?
