Goth Rock, nowadays defined as bands like Evanescence and Within Temptation, is refered to as Dark Rock by the elder goths as it's deemed unworthy of the label gothic in their eyes.

Dark Rock (Goth Rock's new generation) is basically what we know as Evanescence, The Rasmus & Within Temptation. These are practically the goth bands that lack the 'musical/instrumental power' to be called Goth Metal. Goth Metal being stuff like Lacuna Coil/HIM.

Goth Rock (according to the jerrygoths) would include bands like: London After Midnight, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy etc.

Kick me if I'm wrong. Or just add some more stuff I forgot.

Yeah but it just sounds like people screaming now for 10 minutes acompanied by 5 mins of heavy drumming.

Within Temptation and Evanscence sound fairly different from The Rasmus if you ask me..

@Ali: You obviously don't know what you're talking about, gangsta boy, stay of our goth turf.

@Blaat: This the most accurate style to put them in AFAIK..

Ali, you should actually LISTEN to some Evanescence or Within Temptation. May I suggest My Immortal or Memories (each by those two bands respectively).

There's not one bit of screaming in any Evanescence or Within Temptation song. I can't remember any in Lacuna Coil song, either.

So stfu nubcake Though I don't like the four million labels given to the same one or two genres. Symphonic really comes underneath Dark Rock and Dark Metal, if you're gonna put it like that. I really don't like to use the term 'Metal', which implies going overkill with the guitar and massive grunting that would prove Ali right, but the bands I listen to from the category have none (or almost none) of that.

Evanescence was okay, London After Midnight was pretty good too but the rest were kinda meh. Maybe that's just my speed/thrash/heavy metal self talking though.

OMG I FOUND A BABY-BAT!

Hehe that's good dude.

Come to the darkside!

[Beowulf]

Nah. I like my side of metal. It is, by far, the most superior.
Goth metal can't touch hair metal. XD

Yeah, we know you love your bands to the hilt We each have our tastes, I guess. Why not post some of the stuff you like (styles, etc)?

[Beowulf]

I haven't seen many people listening to Megadeth or Guns N Roses. Not enough people listen on this board. My tastes are geared towards the older stuff from the 70s and 80s. Nothing like a sweet 80s hair metal track.

My playlist spans about the last 40 years or so. Everyone from The Beatles and Zeppelin up through Hot Hot Heat, Weezer, and all those.

My Immortal is an excellent one

Actually, Bring me to Life (if that's the right name... dunno, will check CD when I get home) has a little scream in it, just a 1 liner though but drowned out by guitars so it's barely noticable.

[Speeder]

No way, Farther Away > all of Evanescence songs. And I want 'The Open Door' already

[Ash]

Is that the new album's name?

[Speeder]

Yes.

[Athena]

Nice . Evanescence are quite good, imo.

[Ash]

Any official release date?

[Speeder]

Official? Was one - 22nd or 22th August, but now it moves between August and September.
