I was so tempted to put 'Velvet Darkness They Fear' in this spot rather than 'Aegis', but I think 'Aegis' just wins out due to some nice memories of a girl from university who used to like listening to this when we were being intimate. I went with this, their debut, over the more upbeat 'Beyond the Veil' because this has the real ivy-on-manor-house-walls feel that perfectly sums up the genre. Morten Veland's second appearance on the list. Tracks like 'Opium' and 'Full Moon Madness' are timeless.Ī true gothic album, this contains choirs, creaking church doors, organs and some incredible metal. This is one of many classics from the 90s as you can see from the list. We are now officially in masterpiece territory.
#Gothic metal albums full#
This album is just full of near perfect riffs and near perfect vocals with the spoken word, mid range bark and full deep growl. The final release from the Kim Larsen lineup of Saturnus, this album begins with the beautiful choir of '7' before launching into one of gothic metal's most exquisite moments with that riff from 'Inflame Thy Heart'. Jape's deep voice was in its prime and the songs here are all gothic rock anthems. To/Die/For were untouchable for catchy melodic music around this era, and this album is just brilliant. This is the second last yet best album he would record with Ailyn on vocals. It has an epic scale but it's catchy and engaging all the way through, with a phat yet luscious production. This album is arguably my favourite of the Sirenia material. Morten Veland's project has now really become his main event, with many more Sirenia albums now in existence compared with his Tristania work. Sirenia - 'Perils of the Deep Blue' (2013) If a band straddles the doom or black genres I've gone with an album that (sort of) fits the gothic metal genre. Here is my top 10, following the one album per band rule. This sort of thing is all the rage at the moment on the forums and is sorely lacking here.
