Gothic Metal Pioneers video

Pioneers: Paradise Lost,Theatre Of Tragedy,The Gathering Gothic Metal: Paradise Lost started it when they released their album "Gothic" in 1991 which used soprano vocals mixed with the death growls. Gothic Metal, as it is meant today, is usually a mixing of Death/Doom Metal riffing with moody keyboards and female vocals, sometimes mixed with aggressive growling from a male vocalist, sometimes not. (The combination has been called 'Beauty and the Beast vocals').The genre is very loosely defined, and many bands that are essentially atmospheric rock or Power/Symphonic Metal with female singers are labeled Gothic. Mostly what is referred to as "Gothic Metal" these days is not really "Gothic" at all.
