If you haven't heard their music before, then you are missing out. There is a little confusion on what genra they actually fall under though. I have seen them listed as a Dutch Goth Rock band, but I don't know that they fall under that theme. -shrugs-

Still, they are a fantastic band that I highly recommend. I've linked a few of their songs with the videos below. Enjoy and chat about them!

The Howling
What Have You Done
Stand My Ground
Frozen
Angels

well....thay are ok, not bad by any means but nothing super special

[Athilea Majiri]

Eh, to each their own. I love her voice, mostly. That and the first song I heard was Frozen...it kinda speaks to me in a way that most other songs don't.

[littl3chocobo]

the girl is the part that makes it fair, she has a common sound to a lot of others but that is desirable in something like that

and fair enough^^ i may be able to tell good music when i see it but i have a soft spot for terrible music myself hahahaha

[Athilea Majiri]

I personally don't think their terrible. What I was meaning is that her voice is gorgeous. I don't really find her sound common at all. That being said, I don't know where you are from so it may be more common for your area then it is for me.

I like Angels and Memories!
I really have not listened to any of their other songs.
I'd probably like them if I heard them though.
The music video for Memories is quite good.

I've gone back and forth on this band for a couple years now. I've felt the urge to really get into them a few times, but I always end up drifting away from them. I prefer beauty and the beast vocals rather than exclusively female, but there are female-only bands I like a lot more than WT, like... say, Octavia Sperati, Leaves' Eyes, or Delain.

There's something about her voice that I don't really care for. It sounds kind of... forced, or something. Compare it to Lisa Johansson's from Draconian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1mXFisQ9yU I prefer something rich and real sounding like that, over the sort of plastic-y, produced sound Sharon and a lot of other singers in the genre use. But, that's just me.

Anyway, if you like WT, you might like Delain, too. They're very similar.

[Athilea Majiri]

I don't really get that feeling from her voice myself. I'll check out the other bands, though. I think I've heard Delain before and didn't really care for them, but I'll check something out by them as well because I can't really remember at this point.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I'm trying to think of other bands in that vein, drawing a bit of a blank. If you like operatic female voices (I don't) there's Nightwish and Edenbridge. If you don't mind the addition of growled male vocals, Sirenia, Tristania, After Forever, and Theater of Tragedy are a few other goth metal bands I listen to. A few other sort of similar bands I know are Magica, Mortal Love, and Flowing Tears. Granted, I've kind of gotten sick of gothic metal lately.

[Athilea Majiri]

I never could get into Nightwish, but I haven't heard of the other bands so I'll certainly go listen to them.

[Sadrain]

Ah... About year ago, I listened to them nearly nonstop for a while. Then I cooled down about 'em, sorta, to the point I had been before. Now I rarely want to hear any of their songs on my ipod, except when in certain moods.
The vocalist's voice is nice, but sometimes too high pitched for me. I like Tarja Turunen's voice the best out of all metal female vocalists, I think.
What tied me to that band, and still does, is how the song sounded as a whole AND the lyrics. Mostly the lyrics, if honestly. I love songs like Truth Beneath the Rose.

[Kalei]

I listen to them now and again. I love the haunting sound of their music.

[Athilea Majiri]

That, that's part of what I love so much. The sound of most of their music has a haunting quality to it that's just beautiful!

[Suzerain of Sheol]

If it isn't too much trouble, could you suggest a song of theirs that you consider particularly haunting? I've never really felt that way about their music, but maybe I haven't listened to the right songs of theirs.

[Sadrain]

Moonspell? Well, like I said, my favorite are Scorpion Flower, Than Serpent in My Arms, Capricorn, Mephisto. I also like Luna, Night Eternal, Wolfshade. But what took me completely at first was Scorpion Flower, so yea. ^^; My "fandom" started from there.
ut I think it really depends on person and the mood and everything. Right now, I am not nearly as swoony as I used to be, I am into much more serene music. Although, I still can appreciate amazingness of Fernando Ribeiro's voice, but right now Adriano Celentano (his latest songs, like Confessa in particular) songs are closer/dearer than most of Moonspell's (except the four I listed at the beginning). v.v;

[Lauv Keiko]

They're my favorite gothic band =D
Have you heard their song, "In Perfect Harmony"?
