Have you ever heard of soprano+heavy metal rock? Popularly speaking, this is Gothic Rock.

Simply introduced, ........................

As an artistic style, Gothic's highest achievement is manifested in architecture, which gives people a sense of grandeur, solemnity and massiness. Later, it was introduced into music.

The word Gothic evolved from the name of a tribe into a synonym for medieval culture, and it penetrated into the field of culture and art with its unique connotation. Its long history and profound influence are extensive. For Gothic music with sound, people are more sensitive to the change and development of its connotation and style. Since the 198s, Gothic music, which combines musical elements of other schools, has developed in a direction that is more deeply rooted in people's hearts, forming a strong Gothic music lineup and sweeping the world of rock music. With Scandinavia Peninsula and countries around the Baltic Sea as the core, it develops to the whole of Northern Europe and Central Europe.

Introduce several kinds of Gothic Rock at present

1. Gothic Rock, which is the earliest Gothic music, is deeply influenced by punk rock, and at the same time retains the basic characteristics of punk rock's cruelty, so the tunes are relatively noisy and manic, the guitars are dim, and the drums are often heavy and slow.

representative bands: Night (Finland), Siouxsie and Banshees (Britain), Ivan Seth (America, let's just call it Gothic Rock)

2. Gothic metal, the music of this genre, is generally relatively even in speed, with a symphony background music created by the keyboard, with a beautiful main theme and a soft female lead singer. If there is a male voice, it will be accompanied by a female lead singer.

representative band: TOT(Theatre of Tragedy Norway), The Gathering (Netherlands)

3. Bad luck Goth is formed by mixing some elements of bad luck (destruction) metal, which is a bit like Goth metal, but it is because of doom metal's even and slow speed and singing that it is deeply loved by doom metal fans.

representative band: TOT's early works.

4. Fairy sound. The whole band is driven by the sweet and elegant voice of the female lead singer, and all the arrangements of the band contrast the voice of the female lead singer like a fairy.

representative band: Within temptation (Netherlands)

5. Medieval Gothic, from the style name, we can see the characteristics of this kind of music, which is simple and true.

representative bands: Dead Can Dance (Australia)

There are also some good rock and metal bands.

German industrial rock, Rammstein.

Swiss symphonic metal, LUNATICA

Swedish death metal, IN FLAMES

Finnish love metal, HIM

Recommend several bands: < From east to west ....................

Finland: NIGHTWISH nightwish (I don't need to say more about the classic, but the goddess TARJA is gone, alas ... let NW become history forever), HIM (I forgot how to translate it) (GONE WITH THE SIN, the lyrics are a bit abnormal ...)

Sweden: IN FLAMES (death metal, Magnificent, the lead singer's voice is too NB)

Norway: TOT (TOT(Theatre of Tragedy female lead singer's voice is very good, the early pure Gothic style gives people a feeling of suffocation, but later the music is too electronic, and it has recently returned to Gothic, and the music is very good)

Netherlands: Within temptation Seduction Essence (listen to MEMORIES, However, that song is just SHARON's performance. Listen to their other Gothic songs, which are very cool.

Switzerland: Lunatica Moonlight Goddess (symphonic metal, said to be comparable to WT, really good. Less Gothic flavor, recommended)

USA: Evanescence Evans (EV, alas, is a band with a Gothic brand, and the songs are a bit popular. After all, she is called the female Lincoln).

Let's talk about my opinion on the ranking of female lead singers' voices ...

1.TARJA, nothing to say ... the purest Goth, the well-deserved Goth goddess. (NW)

2.SHARON, the voice of an angel, the perfect treble. (WT)

3. It is suitable for creating a vigorous artistic conception, and it is very imposing. (LUNATICA)

5.AMYLEE, who is only 2 years old, has a perfect voice, but she feels a little unable to get up.
