Any other suggestions?

The Gathering (similar to Lacuna Coil but a little trippier)
Lullacry (more hair-metalish, like a heavier Lita Ford)
Astarte (death metal like Arch Enemy)

If you like metal with classical influences you might like Nightwish too.  Very operatic though a little over the top for my tastes.

If you want pretty untechnical doom metal (I think... hey, I'm not totally up on my metal genres, so forgive me if I make mistakes), check out Octavia.  They're not bad, I saw my friend's band open for them.  I wanted to take the bass player home in my pocket.  The only guy in the band is the drummer.

I know, I wasn't serious.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Twisted Sister = the best clown metal band EVAR.

fixed that for you.   :lol:

And?

TGRR,
Knoas the terms are not mutually exclusive.

Gotta say though, Dee Snider's radio show House of Hair is best radio show ever.  Dr. Demento is a close 2nd.

Actually, there's a third group.  Bands who know they'll never become famous because they're singing about raping goats and burning babies and so during the day they are life insurance salesmen.

Translation:  The groups that wish they could be corporate, but can't afford a decent writer, and the groups that want to be "anti-corporate" corporate (ala Rage Against The Machine, etc).

All the same shit.

Tsk Tsk.
Some people just like to write music about raping babies, Roger, that doesnt mean they cant afford a good a writer. One of the most well spoken and intelligent people I have ever met was Don Deckard, the lead singer of Anal Blast, and he wrote music about meeting fat chicks on the internet to have sex with.

My suggestion is Peccatum, which is hard to classify.
... and Shape of Despair, which does not always feature female vocals, but often does. I think you might like that one.

My friend's band are recording an EP called 'raping christ', named after one of their songs.  They're mostly cool people, and the guitarist (the one I'm friends with) is a damn fine player.  He was in my band for a while, until I went to uni.

They turned down a contract lately, from this label that wanted them to change from really technical metal, to emo hardcore, and completely change themselves.  Hmmmm.

Oh, and somehow they have fans in Canada and Norway.  Despite the fact that they've never even played outside of the country.

Oh, incidentally, its easy to be pretentious about labels and sub-genres where any type of music is concerned, but those things exist for the sole purpose of being able to describe what something sounds like so that other people understand what we're talking about. Genre labels get really fuzzy, and there are a lot of places where they overlap. Furthermore, a lot of people disagree about what fits into what genre, and people who actually argue about those sort of things are taking it way to seriously.

Some of my highschool buddies were in a grindcore band called the Vampire Sorority Babes. They stole lawn gnomes and other various lawn ornaments to demolish on stage, dressed their girl-friends up like goth sluts and made them wade in a kiddie pool filled with various forms of filth, and had a guy wearing rabbit ears reading out of H.G Wells' Time Machine on stage.

I remember posting lyrics here before.

http://www.angelfire.com/band/vsb/lyrics.html

Anyway, VSB wrote and performed over 200 songs, many of which sounded exactly the same. The lyrics on that site are only from the first EP which was released in a limited run of sixteen.

Then why can't they get past cheap shock bullshit?

These bands sound like early motley crue.
