I would like to ask a similar question:

I very much like the "the beauty and the beast" - styled metal. That's at least what I read online sometime what it's called.

The mix of a male voice growling and a female voice singing melodic kinda does it for me, but so far I had very little luck finding stuff that fits, actually just a few songs.

Any recommendations?

[–] maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

A lot of symphonic metal bands are like that. On the top of my head, you could check out Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica and Unleash the Archers.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sure Epica has that aspect, but I would instead recommend .. The Project Hate MCMXCIX!!!!!!

Pretty much all of it is exactly as described, aggressive male, melodic female. They are excellent.

Sorry, here's a Spotify link, couldn't find this track on youtube

Oh man, I had forgotten about these guys, they are freakin excellent. The track name is 'At the Entrance of Hell's Unholy Fire'

They are awesome. Thanks for sharing the link!!

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

And 'Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate' is a really great album. I would actually recommend listening to that one first.

I found this band by accident because I was looking for Hate.

Tristania - World of Glass, and if you like that check out the two albums before it as well.

[–] christian@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Their first two albums are my favorites, just amazing music.

[–] catsdoingcatstuff@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Theatre of Tragedy fits that style. They are older, but worth checking out.

[–] christian@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Just their early stuff - self-titled debut, Velvet Darkness They Fear, A Rose for the Dead, Aegis. The stuff afterwards isn't bad, but it's not the same genre.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

July Talk would be my #1 recommendation. They are fantastic and perfectly fit your description.

There are a few songs around with Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly) and Maria Brink (In This Moment). Not at home at the moment, can’t check my collection, but if you can find them, they’re probably the sort of thing you like.
