[Suzerain of Sheol]

Heh, ever since the LOKI came out here last month, I've been listening to Amon Amarth a lot more. Especially Hermod's Ride to Hel. :p

I've never listened to HIM (beyond what you showed me, Quiet) but they didn't sound much like most of the gothic bands I know. I remember hearing somewhere that gothic metal and goth rock are two rather different sub-genres. I've always found such distinctions facile, but I suppose they do work to at least help point you in the right direction sometimes.
