Existentia

"Existentia" by Norway's TRAIL OF TEARS is easily one of the best gothic metal albums I've heard in some time, largely because of the combination of the heavy with the ethereal is so soundly written and performed. Granted, many would not call "Existentia" a purely gothic release due at least in part...

"Light Yourself on Fire" (yeah, I could think of a few people worthy of the suggestion too) is 14 minutes of noisy CONVERGE-ish hardcore crossed with a sliver of death that probably owes more to a band like U...
