I'm slowly getting into gothic bands. Like Gene Loves Jezebel, The Cure, etc. etc. Anyways, I was wondering if there are any goth bands that are also straight edge? I know of some like AFI and Eighteen Visions, are there any more?

because the genres of metal and hardcore have been blended many times over. Just because its not old school sounding hardcore doesn't mean its not hardcore.Quote:

I actually know tons of straight edge metal bands. Bleeding Through, First Blood, Himsa, Freya, Blood has been shed, Maroon, etc. etc.
I realize the same debate has happened before. I am simply stating that just because bands don't sound like judge or youth of today, it doesn't neccesarily mean they can't be hardcore.Quote:

lyrics which pertain to straight edge:
Venom - the reaper of souls, harvested by evil
Phantom freedom, the rapist of truth
Embody stupdity as sanity is burnt to ashes
Reality torn to pieces, the ruin of mortality
Death bound with damnation written in blood
Venom rushing through a body of downfall
Servant of addiction, it exploits your weakness
Blinded the infected, insanity will arise
Minds of decay followed by demise
Symptoms of suffocation kept silent
Enslaved mind, polluted heart, famished brain
Hasting into the condition of unreal
Eyes of the dead, behold the path to your grave
Cold steel against thriat, the endless war within
Hunger for hope torn asunder, your destiny is fulfilled

And as Rodrigo pointed out that goth or metal bands were mentioned not generic metalcore or anything else for that matter. I hate that term. Metalcore. If straight edge was brought out and is in the hardcore music scene how can a metal band call themselves sxe with out the hardcore part without it's influence.
We may have had this conversation before and maybe it keeps getting brought back up because people don't seem to get the point!!!!! Say all the members of the band the Cure were all straight edge and the played the same music they play now. They are in no way shape or form a straight edge band because they are not a hardcore band. That would be like calling hardcore bands that aren't straight edge straight edge bands just because a few members are. Thats like calling Fall out boy sXe cuase one member is.
