Ooh, I've wanted to hear more of The Gathering for a while, but I confess I don't know the others. My knowledge is somewhat limited, given that it was mostly gained through the bounce-inducing discovery that operatic sopranos can sing metal, but runs through Lacuna Coil to Within Temptation, via Nightwish (you have to hear their cover of Over the Hills and Far Away) and Opeth (though most of what I know of these last is that a friend raves about them and keeps promising to introduce me to their music...). Oh, and Elis, who probably just count - I don't really follow these things are defined, but I like their music. *grin*
Pretentiousness varies between all of the above, of course.
I know of the existence of Epica, After Forever, Tristania, and The Sins of Thy Beloved, but haven't ever heard them. I do want to hear some of Apocalyptica's stuff at some point, though, because heavy metal 'cellos just can't be passed up! Oh, and I have Operatika's demo track, which is cool, but don't know aobut the rest of their stuff.
I probably should provide links to all these, but that last was the only one I had at hand. Still, you're clever, you'll be able to find them all. *nodnods*
Oh, and there's always HI-damn-you-all-we're-not-goths-we're-"Love-Metal"-honest-M...
