| GOTH |
| Goth metal can include many different types of metal, it is not truly a seperate genre. However, there are certain types of Goth metal that have created a niche. One such niche would be Beauty and the Beast metal. The name explains the basic concept of the sub-genre: deep growling male vocals contrasting with beautiful, operatic female singing. Musical sound can vary videly through different Gothic metal bands, but one thing is constant: lyrical content dealing with tradgedy and dark romance. Techno and ambient sounds are often used as well. Lake of Tears, Lacuna Coil |
