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?
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.
Tristania - World of Glass, and if you like that check out the two albums before it as well.
Their first two albums are my favorites, just amazing music.
Theatre of Tragedy fits that style. They are older, but worth checking out.
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.
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.
