Evanescense im not sure but they rock
Nightwish, Cradle of Filth, Evanescence, etc are not gothic rock. Get your genres straight, people!
If you’re wanting bands like above I suggest Apocalyptica (like Silver* Rose Wolf said) and bands in the symphonic metal and gothic metal genres. Not gothic rock. That’s completely different.
Some real gothic rock:
Alien Sex Fiend, Cinema Strange, Sex Gang Children, Virgin Prunes, 45 Grave, Children on Stun, The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Christian Death, Death In June, Ministry, Rozz Williams, Gitane Demone, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Southern Death Cult
Evanescence is a good band. Also, Marilyn Mason (it’s not a band, but he’s awesome.) Breaking Benjamin, but I’m not sure if they’re Goth Rock. RED & Three Days Grace are awesome, too!
The bands you listed are not goth rock.
Goth rock is:
Alien sex fiend, sisters of mercy, christian death, bauhaus, 45 grave, virgin prunes, the damned, the cult and siouxsie and the banshees…Also post punk bands like Joy Division.
Lacuna coil is an awesome band. they’re from italy, and some of their songs are in italian. apocalyptica is pretty sweet too.
you would like deadstar assembly or combichrist
What does this have to do with Gothic rock?
*Facepalm* Those bands are NOT goth although the 69 Eyes are the most goth out of the lots.
If you want goth bands then it’s: Bauhaus, The Cure, Love & Rockets, Alien Sex Fiend, Xmal Deutschland, Sex Gang Children, etc.
What you listed are mostly metal bands.
If that’s what you’re really after try: Theatres des Vampires, Dimmu Borgir, Cancer Bats, Rhapsody of Fire
