Teen Gothic

i’m semi new to the scene and still diving in and trying to find more bands i like. the vocals on Only Theatre of Pain make it one of my favorite albums i’ve ever heard. the way Rozz drags out vocals in an almost Flaboyant way at times (?) contributes a lot to that. if that’s something i enjoy can anyone reccomend me bands with a similar style of singing? or that i may like based on that?

Not looking to get into an argument about politics or anything like that. I just love Goth Rock and Anarchist/Socialist/Pacifist/Environmentalist politics. So, I'm just looking for more Goth Rock bands/musicians that hold those beliefs(Pro-LGBT and Vegan/Straight Edge are good too). The only ones I can think of at the moment are:

The Sisters of Mercy

Rudimentary Peni

The Mob

Rubella Ballet

London After Midnight

Anarcho punk/deathrock band Rudimentary Peni has lots of distortion filled like dark emotional lyrics. I’m looking for bands that have a similar sound or lyrical content to that of Peni’s later work like “echoes of anguish” and “no more pain”

The title says it all, but to be more specific, I'm looking for more music with more mysticism in their lyrics and a sound that's a lot fuller.

It feels weird to call myself a ‘baby bat’ when I’m almost 30, and I don’t know if that’s even the proper term for a newbie? So let’s just go with: I’ve been in the fashion side of the punkesque subcultures since I was in highschool, I was all about pop-punk music as a kid as well as gothic metal. It was only recently that I’ve started to dip my toes into honest to goodness goth music. I figured if I wear the clothes I should probably listen to the music, or at least try it. I like it, it will probably have a hefty presence on my spotify wrapped this year. I just suck at finding music, and Spotify doesn’t know the difference between Goth and Gothic Metal. It keeps giving me Ghost and Evanescence, which while I love those bands, they are not quite the vibe!

A few recommendations were given to me a while ago when I really didn’t know anything, based on my preference for strong melody, and background with pop-punk and gothic metal, and one that really stuck to me was Inkubus Sukkubus. My first song from them was ‘Wytches’ which I’m sure is a surprise to absolutely no one, and I went from there. I’ve been going through their discography slowly. They have a lot of things I like in any genre: a strong melody, clear lyrics. I particularly love the album Belladona & Aconite because of the addition of symphonic elements, and sometimes what almost sounds like surf guitar in places?

Yeah I’d like to find more bands with similar sound. Or even just more bands that have a strong melodic component. I have a background in classical music as well (violin) so bands that add in symphonic elements and/or bowed strings are also welcome.

Or like idk, recommend to me your favourite band and tell me why it’s your favorite I’m here to learn new things.

Really enjoy the old style of music "witching hour, rosetta stone etc.). Are there some new bands that make similar stuff?

i've noticed there's a very specific vocal style goth bands from this time span have and am looking for more with it since i really like it. examples of bands with the style are nosferatu, age of heaven, disjecta membra, pretentious moi, and even bands as recent as angels of liberty
