Dark Heart Dawning
Just a little heads-up to anyone wondering what I’ve been listening to lately; for some reason I’m on a pretty big Goth-metal kick. Obviously I’m sticking to more of the melodic stuff, along the lines of Nightwish or Sisters of Mercy, but the whole symphonic metal, dark choirs and heavy melodies thing is appealing to me lately. I can’t fathom why, honestly; I’m actually feeling calmer and happier in general than I have in a long time. It’s not some latent depression thing– at least, I don’t think it is– I’m just going slightly operatic, it seems. Any suggestions on artists I should offer up to the homunculus brooding within me will be greatly appreciated.
On brief reflection, I can honestly say it’s not because Halloween is coming, either. I think “Dark Chest of Wonders” just popped up on the playlist at a particularly influential moment, and I began hungering for more. Ah well.
