evanescence

[Helm]

Okay, maybe suddenly the pop definition of goth has changed, but if gothic still has something to do with Bauhaus, Fields of The Nephilim and Cassandra Complex, as opposed to Him, 69 candles and Within Temptation, then there's absolutely nothing goth about this band. It's yet another angsty silly quasi-metal band. A female singer and lyrics about how much life sucks does not fit the goth profile that much.

Mock: Last night, I saw Anathema's early 'Mine is yours to drown in' video again. It epitomizes what a metal video should be about. There's bandmember fights, bulletbelts, wristbands, sunsets, silly \m/ poses metallic chthulhu mosters getting kicked in the tentacles, and a very very filthy Darren White grunting about how he is entering my soul.

What other video can top that? Perfect.


Zero: To say however, that a band like COF sucks because the genre combinations, stylistical approach and attitude they've attempted neither convinces you, or at all impresses you is a very viable position. It is also mine.
