 The BNR Metal Pages - Genres
Goth metal bands derive from earlier goth rock bands such as Sisters Of Mercy, with Type O Negative one of the most well-known such bands.
Black Sabbath are, of course, the fathers of metal in general, but their early work concentrated on slow riffing and thus is the primary influence on doom metal bands.
Thrash metal is generally characterized by a fast pace, a staccato, chunky guitar riffing style, and aggressive vocals.

 Heavy metal fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The style and clothing of metal has absorbed elements from influences as diverse as the musical influences from which the genre has borrowed: modern metal fashion is a hotch-potch of punk, goth (particularly for female metalheads), Military Fashion and even various historical fashions.
Clothing for the female metalhead shares much in common with elements of goth and punk fashion, combined with what is simply a feminised version of male metalhead fashion.
This typically consists of t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts with heavy metal, nu-metal, or punk logos, paired with baggy 'skater' jeans, chains, and dark colours.

 Are the Goth and Metal Subcultures Merging?
For example, Rogue of the goth band Cruxshadows, described his group?s sound as a mixture of new-wave, electronic body music and Goth.
Doom Metal music is very theatrical in its approach (music pieces can run over 25 minutes).
I believe that Doom Metal (a subcategory of metal) and its many various styles such as Gothic Doom, Funeral Doom (my favorite) and Industrial Funeral Doom is very gothic in nature.

 Urban Dictionary: goth
A goth will listen to music that is meaningful to their life and thought provoking, a chav will listen to music which will tell him how to behave.
Goth is an alternative subculture; it is both a style of music and a fashion, like Punk.
They usually listen to death metal and goth music, such as Dismember and Bauhaus.

 thrash metal: Information From Answers.com
Thrash metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music.
The origins of thrash metal are generally traced to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when a number of heavy metal bands began incorporating speed metal's extreme speed into traditional metal melody and riffs.
The band Metal Church recorded a few rehearsals in 1980-81, which were similar to the early Metallica and Overkill efforts, though not quite as thrashy.

 Goth Metal Downloads - Download Goth Metal Music - Download Goth Metal MP3s
Goth metal fuses the bleak, icy atmospherics of goth rock with the loud guitars and aggression of heavy metal, finding the middle ground between the two styles in a melodramatic sense of theater and lyrical obsessions with religion and horror.
Their self-consciously controversial tactics set them apart from the British goth scene, having more to do with L.A. punk and heavy metal, and thus the band dubbed its sound "death rock" instead; however, their sensibility was ultimately similar enough that the "goth" designation stuck in the end.
During the latter half of that decade, goth metal also proved to be an important influence on black metal bands searching for new ways to darken their sound.

 Hip Hop vs Heavy Metal/Goth music - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
Heavy Metal, however, is an indication of a musical form, so a song can talk anything from petting kittens to calling in a nuclear airstrike on a theme park and still be considered Heavy Metal as long as it conforms to the musical standards of that particular genre.
The name of the genre denotes a lyrical form to which all the songs conform, and that would mean that a piece of rap music could just as easily be Goth/Satanic as headbanger music.
Call a spade a spade some rap music are disgusting and some lyrics from heavy metal songs are just plain evil.

 Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - H.I.M. - Love Metal
Accept that you are a pop goth band and be proud of it.
To put it bluntly, HIM was to goth metal what Linkin Park is to rap rock: the boy band.
Worst of all, the metallic approach just ends up highlighting how cheesy their gothic love songs are.

 Hartford Advocate: Finally, Iberian Goth Metal
Here you have it: The metal guitar shred album of the year by the other "thinking man's metal band" from Seattle.
Though they are most commonly identified with metal, in terms message and attitude (and occasionally style), Napalm Death is nothing if not a punk band, that just happened to pick the heaviest extreme metal style as a vehicle for diatribes on social injustice, war, politics and lifestyle choices.
Bands that belong to our generation and that wanted to take their music with the metal context or roots, but take it a little further, incorporating other fusions that were important to tell their stories.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Dieversity
Not all guitar-based goth music is goth metal, but goth metal is certainly a valuable part of guitar-based goth.
And those who like their goth with a lot of loud, crunching guitar can't go wrong with Entwine's Dieversity, which is relevant to both goth metal and goth rock.
This Finnish band has the dark, gloomy, brooding outlook one expects from goth, but it also plenty of guitar-crunching aggression (although Entwine is glossier and less heavy than other European goth metal bands).

 DigitalMetal.com
However, a couple of years ago Finland's Low Frequency Records churned out well produced, competent goth metal, and Embraze might be the best of the bunch, so Crash Music, not having thier own viable goth metla bands has re-released this album.
Overall, Katharsis is a decent album, and certainly one most goth rock/metal fans will one to pick up.
But diversity is the trait of Embraze I enjoyed more than anything, and when the bluesy, Southern Rock (Southern goth?) tinged "Fear" belts out its opening chords and Hammond laced riffs, it sounds better suited to a Down album than a Finnish goth album.

 MetalReview - Review of Darkwell - Metatron
After that, the album treads all of the hallmarks of a competent but to these ears, tired Goth Metal release.
Most of the songs follow a lackluster, predictable posture that seems to generally lack Goth metal’s high values.
Gothic metal is quite dead in our age and time...it was mostly a late '90s affair.

 Metal Goth?
If punks listen to punk rock, and ravers listen to rave music, then wouldn't one draw the conclusion that goths would listen to goth?
Although there are many arguements over whether the culture predated the music genre or vice versa, I think most would admit that music is an intregal part of gothic culture.
And the metal-goth crossover bands are so few and far between that I see no reason to confuse one for the other.

 Goth Metal - eBaum's World Forum
If you were a Goth you'd be talking in old English and have a really lame username, some wannabe evil avatar and some Edgar Allen Poe quote for your signature.
Lacuna Coil is a pretty good band, I guess they could be considered "goth" go listen to "Veins of Glass." I don't usually listen to that kind of music but it's not bad.
Goth metal isn't really supposed to have screaming, it's supposed to be "dark and gloomy".

 The Other Side forums - suitable for mature readers! -> Goth Metal Or Black Metal?
Both genres have their great bands, like for black I love immortal and emperor but Goth is better in my opinion because I think its far more sophisticated and easier to listen to.
Anyway, back on topic: I rarely listen to 'Goth' or 'Death' metal (using the terms with reluctance).
goth is usually depressive and sad, while the dark/black metal, we can say, its "angry" (yeah, music has feelings too :P)...

 HIM: Love Metal Aversion.com Review
An awkwardly comfortable Goth album, HIM’s obsessions with pop accessibility make for a rather lukewarm record.
What started as a grim little offshoot of post-punk has, through dozen of pop-cultural permutations too random to understand, evolved into a style as confused as its typical teenage listener: Juggling the contradictory menace of the Antichrist Superstar and the wallowing, down-in-the-dumps misery of half-assed teenage suicide attempts.
Instead, the Finnish band, take the style-before-substance approach of bubblegum Goth and crank the volume to 10.

 Amazon.com: Music: 2000 Years of Human Error
When it comes to the subject of goth metal, I've only ever been fond of Type O Negative and Marilyn Manson (if you consider him goth metal that is), but Godhead (a band pretty much discovered by Manson) is a band that has much more to them than just being classified as goth metal.
If Marilyn Manson went lighter on the metal and heavier on the goth, he'd probably sound something like Godhead, which isn't surprising, considering Manson produced the album.
The music itself is simple enough, but the lyrics are nicely done and well written, and "2000 Years of Human Error" is quite an above average album.

 Review: "Tiamat: Judas Christ" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Outside of Conception's 1998 release "Flow" (more power metal with a goth feel)I'm not a big fan of the genre.
After several listens, Judas Christ brings to mind the influence of many goth artists like Type O Negative, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, even 80's rockers like Kingdom Come, The Cult, and Supertramp.
Instead the songs seem to be grouped in terms lightness or mood...

Developing in the late sixties as an offshoot of blues-rock, Heavy Metal is an aggressive, theatrical, guitar-led musical form that, despite being mocked mercilessly (Spinal Tap) and shunned (most Radio), is one of the most dominant, commercially successful musical movements ever.

 Goth Metal - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
Heavy metal was introduced in the '70s, taking the bombast of hard rock even further while stripping the music of most of its swing.
Despite being a rigid style, however, heavy metal has evolved into a surprisingly wide range of subgenres, including the rap metal of Rage Against the Machine and the death metal of Norway's Dimmu Borgir.
Singer Sabrina has a heavenly/devilish vocal range, and the band lays down the sort of swirling metal chops that would send Evanescence back to their My Little Ponies.

That being the case, Goth is super-easy for lefty libs to feel good about embracing, and is deluxed by its counter-culture, edgy rep. Just like the fag-and-drag thing was a few years back....people couldn't get enough of it and now they roll their eyes and yawn.
Why do you see goth as just a whiteboy thang?
The fact that Goth back then was color blind, has nothing to do with the power dynamics of the NY art world right now.
