Gothic Metal
Gothic Metal: Gothic metal (also called Goth Metal) is a subgenre of heavy metal music. It is characterised as a combination of the dark and often haunting atmospheres of goth rock with the power and heaviness of the extreme metal subgenres and doom metal placing heavy emphasis on a deeply focused vocal style. The genre originated during the early 1990s in Europe originally as an outgrowth of doom/death, a fusion of death metal and doom metal.
