[edit] Summoning

I believe Summoning is not a Gothic Metal band.. it is a "tribute" to Tolkien's literature, being largely inspired by LOTR (the original books, not the movies) : 23:14, 26 August 2005 (UTC)~Rui C.

Nothing to do with it, though I do not know of Summoning, Cradle of Filth is not symphonic black it is straight up Gothic. This works because Gothic metal is a mix of doom and black, yes black. Symphonic black bands rather are Dimmu Borgir, Tvangeste, Abyssos. To go back to what the discussion was supposed to be, symphonic black is in no way the same subgenre as melodic black. Melodic black is illnath with emphasis on speed beat and keyboards. Nearly all the atmosphere is gone from it whereas some remains in symphonic.

Cradle of Filth is not Gothic Metal. Gothic Metal is not a mixture of 'Doom And Black' either. I suggest going and reading the Gothic Metal article before you make such foolish claims. Ley Shade 21:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Foolish is having Cradle of Filth in this article. They are Extreme Gothic Metal whether people want to accept it or not and I'm removing them. 12:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.100.86 (talk)

[edit] Opeth

What the hell is Opeth doing here?! I agree they´re hard to classify in one specific genre, but... to call them Symphonic Black Metal is just not knowing nothing about anything at all. There's no symphonic metal elements to their music at all, much less black metal (excluding occasional riffs in their early albums). If anything, they're closer to Progressive death metal, yet this doesn't suit them either,althought that's not the point here. I'm removing them form this list. They have absolutely NOTHING to do here. [[User:# Likelightoflies|# Likelightoflies]] 06:26, 04 September 2007 (UTC)
