Gothic Metal

Gothic Metal: 34 upcoming festivals, including 17 with tickets on sale.

Gothic metal blends heavy metal power with the dark, melancholic atmosphere of gothic music, often featuring contrasting vocals like operatic female singing and harsh male growls, alongside prominent keyboards and slower, doom-laden rhythms. Emerging in the early 1990s in Europe and the United States, it evolved from death-doom and heavy metal, incorporating elements of gothic rock's introspective and often romantic themes. Iconic artists include Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Type O Negative. The genre has significantly influenced symphonic metal and various dark rock styles.
