If you're in a good mood today, I'd hate to see you in a bad mood. Tongue

Here's some Electro-Dance-Pop for you in the style of Theatre of Tragedy.....

when you call a genre "dance", it's music meant for dancing exclusively which is not the case with TOT, it's what i meant to say. Dance music is also happy music which again, not the case with goth bands.

This sound is called electro-goth, darkwave-gothic. 

Also Liv Kristine is a better singer than Madonna ever was. 
The video reminds me of Madonna because "Let You Down" sounds like a curious hybrid of Gothic Metal and Dance-Pop, which isn't such a tragedy as I'm a big fan of Madonna too. Big smile

I can't stand Madonna. Never did, I think I find two of her songs listenable. 
Not exactly dance pop the TOT song, it's not exclusively meant for dancing. It's synth pop influenced, i explained what it is in my earlier post.

Quite active singer/musician. 

Thanks for the info. It's a tragedy I didn't know Liv Kristine had performed in so many bands, including Theatre of Tragedy. Cry

I'm not sure how the first two Theatre of tragedy will go with you because there are growls, yet it's melodic music. The contrast of the gentle and extreme vocals is done right. 
But Aegis especially should please you, they gave up on the extreme vocals and the male vocals are clean. 

They also released two synth-pop/darkwave/electronic albums, last two with Liv on vocals. Quite a shocking change of style for many, yet not bad on their own.

Maybe you wanted to say this, but it came out wrong (and it did for me). 
Also Therion's debut is not the opposite end of symphonic metal. Maybe some beauty and the beast type of symphonic gothic. 
I don't hear any beauty in Therion's debut and it's not remotely symphonic. It's just beastly. Ouch

Not what I meant. 
"Beauty and the beast" means the music features a female vocalist, gentle, angelic - beauty and the beast means male vocals, they can be clen but also extreme (raspier, growly). Early 90s gothic-doom bands experimented with that until later on it became a thing. 

An album you would probably enjoy is Théâtre of Tragedy - Aegis from 1998. It's the band that made Liv Kristine famous, but then again TOT is one of the most influential bands for both gothic metal and symphonic metal.

Again, this is pointless sarcasm on your part, stating the obvious.

It's thanks to you and Logan's support that Therion are still here in the poll when I came close to dumping them altogether after hearing their dreadful Death Metal debut. By the way, Therion's first album was released on Deaf Records, which seems very appropriate, considering it's about as welcome as a nuclear blast. Tongue

Deaf Records is probably a joke name - deaf-death. To a non-native English speaker, might sound the same. 
I would never call music I dislike "dreadful". Disliking it is more than enough. LOL
I would call "dreadful" an artist (or genre) I usually like that has released something I find bad, weak, uninspired etc. LOL

Okay, instead of "dreadful", I'll say I disliked Therion's first album intensely. How's that? Big smile

I know you dislike it, I don't even know why you listened to it in the first place when you were warned it's a death metal album. ConfusedLOL
