Hey guys and girls. I'm a young prog listener, I discovered prog through Prog Metal mainly and started to listen Prog Rock and more prog oriented genres after going to the Baja Prog Festival in Mexicali.

I'm also a fan of Metal and Gothic music...

I think that's all...

Welcome!

Check out The Gathering ... they have a very gothic sound, although their lyrics and songwriting are not really gothic. I recommend Mandylion and Nighttime Birds to start with ...

@cofeeintheface: Thanx for the warm welcome, I'm good and you? 
@cobb: is The Gathering  similar to Nightwish and After Forever?

Let me throw in my opinion as well: Not in the least. There is NO growling, only female vocals.

Let me throw in my opinion as well: Not in the least. There is NO growling, only female vocals. And Anneke doesn't sing in an operatic way. And there are no orchestral elements involved, apart from their acoustic live album.

The gathering has a guitar oriented sound. This may put you off, but to me they are like evanesence with much, much better song writing abilities. Their sound is closer to after forever than nightwish
