Epica, Nightwish, and After Foerver have nothing to do with Gothic Metal. There sound are Symphonic metal. Epica and AF go for a prog sound and NW goes for a power metal sound. Symphonic metal was born from Power and Prog metal. Dream Theater, Royal Hunt, Savatage? Any one? Where do you think the genre got it keyboard sound from? It was not gothic metal. It came from Power and Prog metal.

@Epica124

i just copied that comment from wikipedia.

[Epica124]

@KAIJATHOUGHTtm Have you ever hear any thing that was done by power and and prog metal bands. It did not come from gothic metal. It came from power and prog metal black metal had a bigger hand in symphonic metal then gothic or death metal did.

@Epica124

The roots of symphonic metal are found in early death metal and gothic metal bands, who made some use of symphonic elements in their music. Particularly important was Therion's use of a live orchestra and classical compositional techniques; gradually these elements became a more important part of Therion's music than their death metal roots. Another key early influence was Finnish progressive metal band Waltari's album Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C.

@CaioJesusSoneca That does not mean they are gothic if there is a dark mood. Reason being is we have melodic death metal. Many of those bands there have a dark mood in them it does not make it gothic. Black metal is all about being dark again not gothic. Power metal can even have a dark mood in it when need and but does not make it gothic.

@Epica124 I agree totally with you! =D

but as i said in my previous comment, some musics have such dark mood and atmosphere; really they are few, but they exist, and should not be tottaly disconsidered in these genre classifications which we listeners and fans make about our beloved bands

And thanks for being calm and polite in your answer! since here in youtube people are lacking these in their comments...

=) glad to have a nice talk with you, not a stupid discussion fight like with other users
