This is my first episode of your series and I plan to check out the rest. I like the system in which you have organized the recommendations. Gothic metal is a genre I'm quite familiar with and yet there was something new for me in the "Interesting" category, which is Estatic Fear and I'm going to listen to it. "Wildhoney" by Tiamat is one of the albums that drew me into the metal subculture, which in turn made my passion for music go to a higher level than ever :D As for The 3rd and The Mortal, I also really like their album "Tears Laid In Earth". It is hypnotic, beautiful and as if from some long forgotten era. My favorite gothic metal album is "Widow's Weeds" by Tristania, although I don't seem to go for very love-themed lyrics in gothic metal as a rule. Gothic metal also has the potential to transport the listener into a world of inner experiences (emotionality, crisis of faith, difficulties in dealing with the past), and I like that a lot. A thematically interesting album is Draconian's "Under a Godless Veil," which is heavily influenced by Gnosticism. Still, gothic metal is very atmospheric, regardless of the subject matter. If I had to name some of (I hope) not obvious recommendations from me it would be the albums: "The Deathship Has a New Captain" by Vision Bleak, which has the extraordinary power to take me to some other world from the album "Disclosure in Red" by Trail of Tears
