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

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!

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?

I love traditional gothic music. Not screamo, not death metal, not emo. Think Evanescence, Within Temptation, Tristania (old), We Are The Fallen, Dark Sanctuary. Like a gothic lullaby, or something beautiful like songs by Evanescence. Like eerie haunting stuff.

I really want to start shooting a youtube video series however, I need a few things before I do. I want to do a segment on my channel Watabish called emo time with eva the emo girl. I need creepy music like a phantom of the opera type generic gothic music, wind rustling, and a wolf howling. Please Respond Back! Thank You!

I already know what goths think gothic music is, which apparently varies quite greatly between the goths but there are some common denominators. I want to know what non-gothic people think gothic music is because I am curious.

I’ve heard about the genre,
but not really about any of the music or bands behind it.
I’d like to hear some ‘Under Ground Gothic Music’
Would anyone care to suggest some bands?
Uhm…
I am going to pretend I didn’t see Kath’s answer.

I love to wear black, listen to gothic music, and wear black crosses. Anyway, she told me I looked stupid and I was a gothic freak. I now feel very insecure about myself.

Oh, I’m not gothic, btw. If I were, I would own a trench coat, but I don’t (It’s on my birthday list, though. They look so comfortable).
Bauhaus is an amazing band, btw!!!

I’m trying to find some soft gothic music with female vocals. I’m christian so I don’t want anything bad. I don’t want satanic or ant-christian music. I just want to try to find some good soft gothic music. Thanks for the help.
