If anyone cares I compiled a senarai of bands I personally Cinta that I think could use some lebih recognition. I'm gonna have pautan to some songs sejak them (if anda care to take a listen) and a bit about why I like each as well as a picture of the band, if anda wish to base on appearance alone and the genre(s) they fall under.
Within Temptation
Genre: Symphonic Metal (some also consider it to be Gothic Metal)
Okay so these guys are pretty well-known on this site, but I put it on them on anyways because I Cinta them so much and think everyone should know about them. Within
Temptation is a Dutch band formed in 1996. They have taken up various styles (their last album was lebih popish but they usually have a lebih Gothic and Celtic/folk influence to their songs) Sharon den Adel (the lead vocalist) is super talented and very friendly with her fanbase. She is really good with high notes (heck, she has one of the best vocal ranges I’ve heard she can go super high and low), and her live performances are bahagian, atas notch; her stage presence is amazing she always seems like she enjoys herself and tries to keep the crowd involved. On bahagian, atas of this the lyrics Sharon and her band mates come up with tell great stories, anda can practically see them in your head, it's like Membaca a book (particularly her Mother Earth album). If I could describe her songs in one word, it would be enchanting. The band has this fairy-tale quality to it.
Here are some of the songs;
Mother Earth: link
Jane Doe: link
Our Farewell: link (My Personal Favorite)
Enough about them (I could praise them all hari but anda all probably don’t want me to). Moving on…
Omega Lithium
Genre: Industrial Metal
Omega Lithium is a Croatian band formed in 2007. They’ve only released two albums as far as I know but they are amazing. This band has lebih of a rock influence and I don’t know about others but I can hear some Trace in some of their songs. Lead vocalist, Mya Mortensen has a rougher voice. She doesn’t do much screaming, but she has a voice for it if that helps with visualizations. The great thing about Mya though, is she’s actually good with the symphonic metal style vocals too; she can hold out high notes pretty smoothly and she hits them very well. So with her it’s not just flat out classic-rock style roughness. Lyric wise the band has some pretty interesting concepts—like Andromeda, that one is about a sort of humanoid creation. Pretty cool if anda ask me.
Some of their songs;

Dance With Me: link
Kinetic: link
Delain
Genre: Symphonic Metal
Delain is another Symphonic Metal band formed in the Netherlands (one of the members, Martijn, actually used to be in Within Temptation :P). The band formed in 2002. And apparently their band name was taken from a town in a Stephen King novel, pretty cool if anda ask me. The band, much like Omega Lithium has a huge rock influence. First and foremost I Cinta their cover art; it’s not just imej of them and the band. They actually have these really cool cartoon but life like people on the album covers and these creepy birds wearing gasmasks. charlotte Wessles is a great vocalist with a wide vocal range. She has really powerful lyrics, her song we are the others is pretty inspirational. This is just one of those bands that I just Cinta and I can’t explain quite why. So if anda care to, why don’t anda just take a listen, I can’t really put the wonder of these songs into words

April Rain: link
We Are The Others: link
Die Antwoord
Genre: Zef (also categorized with rave, rap and hip hop)
And here we have the very odd and kind of creepy Die Antwoord they are a South African band formed in 2008. They are a part of this genre called Zef (now I don’t know if they just made this up atau what LOL but I like it). Zef is kind of this rap like style that’s blended with funky techno beats. Yolandi (the female of the group) describes it as "Associated with people who sup their cars up and rock emas and shit. Zef is, you're poor but you're fancy. You're poor but you're sexy, you've got style." It creates for a rather interesting style and concept. I haven’t quite heard anything like it. Now they have some beef with Lady Gaga, legit they had her mauled sejak a lion in one of their Muzik video and she got back at them over Twitter, pretty crazy. Anyways Yolandi has a really different voice; it’s soft and almost child-like. Ninja (the male singer) has lebih of a rough voice, he does most of the rapping. Fair warning these guys can be pretty vulgar (they actually do have a song about masturbation, so if you’re not into that avoid Orinoco Ninja Flow ).
Here are some of their songs;
Fatty Fatty Boom: link
Rich Bitch: link
Cookie Thumper: link
Grimes
Genre: Indie Pop, Witch house, Industrial (and a lot more)
Grimes also known as Claire Boucher redeemed Canada when she formed Grimes in 2009. I’d like to start sejak saying that this woman is mad original, I mean come on, witch house!? I haven’t even heard of that until Grimes. She combines a lot of styles like the mentioned above and darkwave, electronic, and such which really creates for a rather unique sound. Her voice is practically inhuman. The best way I can describe her Singing is to say that it reminds me of something I can only conjure up from my subconscious during a dream. Her Muzik is like the stuff I’d imagine you’d hear during a near death experience thing. Ya know how they say Muzik is a drug? They were talking about this. Even lebih than Delain I really can’t put what her songs are like into words so you’ll really just have to take a listen to know what I’m talking about. All I can say is Grimes is one of the most strange and one of a kind things I have ever heard.

Pythia
Genre: Power Metal (Also considered sejak some to be Symphonic and Gothic metal)
Pythia is from the UK and was formed in 2007. They have a large Celtic and folk influence. Emily Alice Overden has a super powerful and strong voice. She is much like the others in her genre in her ability to hit a good high note and then be able to hit really low notes. Very wide vocal range. This band is very unheard of on Fanpop last I checked I was the only one on that spot. if there’s anyone on here anda check into please let it be these guys they are super talented and super unknown. The lyrics are crazy good like Within Temptation the lyrics are of a Fantasi theme and create pretty cool stories and imej in your head. Besides the lyrics their general appearance is amazing, anda should see their photoshoots and album covers.
Some songs;
Cry Of Our Nation: link
Bury Her: link
Ciuman The Knife: link
Blutengel
Genre: Gothic , Darkwave, and Synthpop
Last but not least for part one is the German band Blutengel founded in 1999. These guys have a much darker style than the others above. They are the ones with the vampire Muzik video and the suicide-note style lyrics (I don’t mean to offends as it’s a sensitive subject) and Chris Phol has a thing for guyliner. I am a pretty big peminat of the women who sing along side Chris they have such beautiful and peaceful voices. Blutengel’s Muzik is basically a complication of dark lullabies. They are an odd mix of rock, techno, and Gothic music. Pretty cool but at the same time eerie and melancholy in a good way. They’ve also got some pretty wicked instrumentals.
Some songs;
Seelenschmerz: link
Reich Mir Die Hand: link
Schmerz 4 (Tod): link
Well, that’s it. Thanks for reading. And I hope anda enjoyed some of that Muzik and maybe found a cool new band atau two. I’m gonna make part 2 soon.
