can someone give me dark music? something like Gothic music. EX: strawberry gashes by Jack off Jill.

I’ve always been into the typical "mainstream" music but this boy I like is really into the gothic culture. any ideas of bands i can start listening to so we’ll have more in common?

you know that almost scary kind of gothic music they play for like spiderman and harry potter and dark stuff like that its a lot of drums and flutes and a choir of wordless women and men kinda like a "HA HA HA! (boom ) Ha HA HA . what kind of music is that and where can i get it

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!

Can someone like creepy gothic things, dress in gothic clothes and listen to dark music and NOT BE A GOTH?!!!

Also, if someone has been drawn to dark cathedrals, stained glass windows, gargoyles/statues, bats, demons, magic since childhood, is that an indication that this person may be gothic?

i want to be Gothic. I love the music, the hair, the make up and the color black=). If i bought clothes from Hot Topic would that be considered being Gothic? Where should I shop for the clothes if Hot Topic isn’t the option?

I want to make a large collection of dark hardcore rock music. Nothing to two today heavily metal (Inside joke) by which i mean Cradle of Filth is accountable though be very kin. Good song lyrics: I dislike getting bored after listening to a particular song five times in a row and never wanting to hear it again. Underground: I don’t mind buying music from people who don’t have a KIZZ complex.

Some examples are: Emilie Anutumn, Zombie Girl and Sex Gang Children.

I lov to listen to gothic music and lov they way they dress nd act and my friends think i should because its just a syerotype what should i do?

Well, not sure how to compare it. if you have ever played the game halo, its the singing in the begining. the best way to put it is like an angelic mens quire. it sounds like really really old gothic age music (the time, not the trend scene). it has like a really deep tone, and is almost like chanting. i cant imagine anyone from my generation knowing it, but who knows. anyone know what im talking about???

haha i do. it’s awesome
i love personal jesus and arma-goddamn-m**********n-geddon!
