These are 44 of the my favorite Gothic Metal albums in no particular order. This will hopefully serve as a starting point for someone new to the style. If one of your favorites isn't on here, it's…

1.The Foreshadowing - Second World

2.Anathema - Judgement

3.Crematory - Awake

4.Charon - Songs For The Sinners

5.Darkseed - Ultimate Darkness

This was by far the most difficult list to do. That's because all top releases are so good that any could be number one. 1996 probably best metal year ever imo.

1.Cradle Of Filth - Dusk... And Her Embrace

2.Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear

3.Moonspell - Irreligious

4.Samael - Passage

5.Cradle Of Filth - V Empire
