I'm more into the melodic kind of Metal.
Does anybody knows Lacrimosa?
It's a wonderfull crossing between Metal and Classic music. Sounds weird? I can assure you the result is absolutly amazing! The guy is auto-producing himself because no one dared to produce such a unique and special kind of music 15 years ago, and he is still carrying on.
The lyrics are grey poetry and in a wonderfull Gothic feel.
