Posts from Within Temptation

Thank you very much.

If anyone needs any songs by Within Temptation or Nightwish, feel free to contact me on ICQ... I have them all. Well, almost all.

What can I say :D, there are only 2 bands with female vocals that I like, everything else I've listened to is just depressing.

I think it's a matter of taste, but there's plenty to choose from - After Forever, Kryteria, Sirenia, All Ends, Nemesea. These are the first bands that come to mind when mentioning Within Temptation; the genre is similar - Symphonic Gothic/Doom/Power. Fans of Within Temptation should enjoy them.
P.S.: The first 3 are my absolute favorites.

and which one of them is the powerhouse?

All Ends

Isn't this modern art, or are they already playing gothic?

which one of them is power metal?

There's no pure power metal here, and I don't really like it, but Symphonic and with a touch of Gothic – that's After Forever.

Isn't this modern metal, or are they already playing gothic?

Melodic Metal and Modern Metal, they're not related to Gothic.
The genres I mentioned in the previous message are too strict; each band has a different approach – their albums sound different in different years, so please don't judge too harshly.
I just wanted to say that you shouldn't focus on just 2-3 bands; you need to broaden your horizons – I myself used to only listen to WT and LC, but I'm still looking for interesting bands in similar genres and styles.
