Yes, I can get into this. I was under the false impression that CoF was a slipknot ripoff. But this.... is clearly not a fair comparison. Nice. Do you like Lamb of God?
He said goth not metal. Painting your face like a clown and wearing black doesn't a goth make :p
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Joy Division
Sisters of Mercy
Dead Can Dance
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
And so on.

Come on.... Gimme those favorite songs and videos! Mine is Shadowplay
People confusing metal for goth music is actually fairly common. Especially the Gothic metal subgenre.

Whoa, I forgot I ever bought this CD. I don't know if I would consider Massive Attack "goth" but some songs would fit the bill I feel.

Never heard of Skinny Puppy, sounds like a mix of early Rob Zombie and NIN

More like early Rob Zombie (I'm guessing you mean White Zombie's last two albums, because '80s WZ is, uh, something) and NIN sound like Skinny Puppy. SP predates 'em both.

That's crazy, You think Trent was inspired? Its very industrial sounding. Yeah White Zombie would be more accurate :p

Little known fact, I never bothered to look up what KMFDM stood for. "originally Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, loosely translated by the band as "no pity for the majority"" -wiki

I like Tones On Tail, nice choice not as well known. Classic I would say.
Definitely gotta mention Depeche Mode here especially considering their sound on Black Celebration, Music for the Masses and Violator.
Great, a perfect thread to post my favorite band, The Birthday Massacre. Not very well known, but they have put it a ton of music over the last 18 or so years and are still going strong. Unique mix of both heavy and beautiful, dreamy sounds.
One of their classics for 10+ years ago.
And one of their latest releases.

Nice . Never heard of them. Listening to their Walking with Strangers album right now.

The Birthday Massacre is one of my favorite bands. Play Dead will forever be one of my favorite songs.
Question, have you found any bands that even remotely compare to Blutengel? It's very difficult to find this kind of music.
Not really a fan of goth but I enjoyed this Pitchfork video on the history of goth:

Yes, Trent was inspired, he was accused of ripping off Skinny Puppy's Dig it with his song Down in it, and even used samples from it, Trent later said he was influenced by it (source). When Skinny Puppy signed with American records in '93 there was pressure from the label to make their sound more like NIN and commercial, which of course was met with heavy push back from Skinny Puppy which lead to turmoil within, Nivek Ogre walking away from the project (after recording some vocals though), which then contributed to the uneasy state and unfortunate overdose and death of Dwayne Goettel, and the bands breakup. Though cEven Key was still able to finish off the album, titled The Process, and honestly despite quite disliking it back in the day and it being very different, I've grown rather fond of it over the years. So, there may be some bad blood there, and that could have even been playfully expressed in Nivek Ogre's first music video from his ohGr solo project for the song Cracker.
If you notice, Trent Reznor and his march of (the) pigs kind of shits all over the protagonist of this video. Great tune though, and a great video, and totally worth checking out Trained Rage.

Trained Rage : Saw Bauhaus in the OP(and a favorite song of mine) and hoped Tones would be appreciated.
A couple more that I adore. With Price and Poe, and The Prisoner:

Was looking for someone to mention tbm as I know some gaf users also like them. Personally my favourite band as well.
I see people with the bunny icon fairly often and YouTube personalities will mention them such as the game grumps. I think they're fairly well known considering how little press they get. imo their label sucks and has done a poor job marketing the band. The last two proper Canadian tours they did(years ago) they went from half filled shows to sold out so they were definitely on the upswing. Then they signed and their label setup the tours and they've had issues with a couple of the bands they got stuck with. They also don't really play Canada anymore... they're a Canadian band ffs!
How about some MDFMK? Its honestly a pretty fun album (not at all goth, but industrial rock with some EBM).
Apoptygma Berzerk might be a good fit, their first two albums had some heavy goth vibes but were still quite experimental electronica. They did go heavily into futurepop after that though.
Maybe next week we can make an EDM/Futurepop thread, i'm really enjoying this one and it'd be nice to do another similar.
