need some good doom/gothic metal bands?

---

I am already addicted to My Dying Bride and I love Draconian, I was wondering if anyone had any really good doom metal bands?
doom with death/gothic/etc elements is fine.

Type O Negative (sometimes gothic doom); Estatic Fear (gothic symphonic doom); Forest Stream (gothic doom); Cryptal Darkness (gothic doom); Virgin Black (symphonic doom); Empyrium (symphonic folk doom); Abysmal Grief (occult doom); Void of Silence (doom).

Any of these artists are amazing. My top three would probably be Type O Negative (although their style changes quite a bit), Empyrium, and Abysmal Grief. But I love them all.

What You Ought To Know About The Gothic Coats?

When you think of a Gothic long leather trench coat and you may think of a rebellious teenager who wants to shock you. Ineptly it is human nature to stereotype other citizens and we time after time get it very wrong!

So what is this classification of coat, who turned it in to a fashion item, and who wears it now?

What Is It?

Usually it is black in colour, whereas it can be seen in other colours such as a crimson red or dark brown.

The cloth is most generally leather or PVC, but cotton, faux fur, velvet, suede or other fabrics are also commonly used.

They may be adorned in spikes, rivets, chains, straps, or zips.

The reverse of the coat may have some distinctive detailing on the top part, such as an image of a skull or a demon.

The Gothic trench coat may quite possibly have a long or short cape, or a hood, which is sometimes detachable or not.

What Turned It Into A Fashion Item?

Back in the late 70's the 'Punk' movement began. Spiky hair, bondage trousers, safety pins through lips, and a long Gothic trench coat, were all trademarks of the 'Punk'.

Soon, the appearance evolved into what was to be known as the 'Goth' image. The 'Goth' would be dressed almost always in black, with black dyed hair, and black makeup, for both males and females.

Who Now Wears Gothic Coats?

Many people have chosen this design of coat as theirs, which includes; Emo's, Rock music and Heavy Metal fans, Punks as well as S&M and Bondage fetish fans.

The Goth's will always have their own identification overall image and the coat is more akin with the Goth's than with any other order of people.

As the years pass and new forms develop, what will the future reveal further about the Gothic coat?

Who will be next to take onits form and transform it to there own liking and will this new incarnation be accepted by the masses or will it be only chosen by the few?

The gothic trench coat is worn by many, but always worn by someone who doesn't mind being noticed.
