    Hey people of EC :slight_smile:

    I've been discovering the music of Marilyn Manson and Souxsie and the Banshees more recently, and was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for immersing myself into gothic rock? Also, do Evanescence count as goth?

    Thanks all :slight_smile:

    Peace

    - The Cult
    - Clan of xymox
    - Inkubus Sukkubus

    Thank-you! I think I may be too kawaii and too metal to be a full-time Goth, but would love to explore all this a little.

    Peace!

    If you like Evanescence then I would recommend Jillian and Within Temptation. Also I LOVE A Lot Like Birds and Icarus the Owl, but Birthday Massacre takes the cake for me!

    Three bands usually come to my mind
    -The Cure
    They're THE classic gothic band in my book, with songs like Boys Don't Cry and Lullaby. I don't really listen to them that much but those two songs are what actually got me into this kind of music sooo
    -Type O Negative
    They're more metal leening but their tunes have a real gothic vibe, listen to Christian Women or Black No. 1 and you'll know what I mean. They also made an AWESOME cover of three Beatles songs as a single medly that acts as the finale to their album World Coming Down
    -Joy Division
    They're technically Post Punk but I'm counting them anyways because they give the same gloomy feeling goth gives. Their songs can range from melancholic to melancholic but a bit more energetic. Their most goth songs to me are Disorder and Atmosphere (which was ranked no.1 goth song of all time)
    Hope this helped a wee bit XP

    Type O Negative also has the added benefit of being LGBTQ-friendly. For example, the song "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend."
