My question is addressed to anyone and everyone who likes gothic music, whether they consider themselves goths or not.
Name a gothic band and/or singer you like, they/he/she can be your favorite, but not necessarily, preferably name one who is/are less known. For example, someone like Marilyn Manson is very well known (we may argue about his style being gothic or not, personally I think goth includes many styles, from romantic to electro and so on, and I consider him goth).
Describe what you like about them in details (let’s say at least a 2-4 lines paragraph). Also tell me which of their song is your favorite, with a link if possible so we can listen to the song. If you can’t find the song online, you can create a playlist easily here: http://www.playlist.com/, there is also many lyrics and videos here: http://www.lyricsmode.com/.
Mine is Lacrimosa. I think Tilo Wolff is very talented, has a deep and amazing voice, and is very good looking and fashionable. Anne Nurmi also has a beautiful voice (in a different way), is also very talented, and without her Lacrimosa wouldn’t be what it is, she completes Tilo perfectly. In my opinion their music could be described as generally "romantic" gothic, eventho it also includes heavy metal, gothic metal, etc. Here is a link to their song Alleine zu zweit (one of my favorites), with a video of the Wave Gothik Treffen (2007 I think): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkoLTuX8OBY&feature=channel_page. Hopefully it will still be there, youtube have been very busy removing sounds from videos lately.
I will not pick a best answer, I will let everyone vote and decide which answer/band they prefer. Hopefully while we vote some of us will get to know one (or more) great gothic band and/or singer we didn’t know before.
Good luck everyone!
Edited: Nice pics on the Dark Sanctuary video, I like 
And on the Elis one too (I watched DS first lol)
Well I know I said I wouldn’t vote but it looks like you are the only ones who saw the question or were interested in answering, so I decided to go ahead and pick a best one. I listened to all the videos, all pretty good, and thanks for your answers!
