I have lost my last metal credit.
Also, Felix, Satyricon's Nemesis Divina would fit better on that list.

"Nemesis Divina" is far too obvious. ;)
And since the BM elitists have been shitting all over their new record, I figured I'd plug it since I think it's quite good.

These three bands are fucking awesome, especially Drudkh, "Autumn Auruoa" is a damn masterpeice.
Also good to see some love for "Panzerfaust" (my second fav DT album behind UAFM).

Yeah, "Panzerfaust" is underrated. It kills.

I suppose I'm totally different. I find "Icon" and "Draconian Times" much more doom, (since PL's early material basically is doom, up through "Symbol Of Life", "Icon", and then they started to go more commercial with "Draconian Times" but still remaining firmly 'doomish'...) and although their are gothic nuances throughout those records, those nuances aren't nearly as pronounced as those found on their later releases when the vocals became even less distorted, the music became more fluid, less heavy, and they began to play around electronic sounds.
Misereatur:
After Gothic and Shades of God came out, critics famed PL for "inventing goth metal", although that is some what true they're only one of the bands that started the goth metal wave. All of PL's albums are straight up doom, except for their electronica expiriments, which can be described as "goth" in texture and sound, but I find them just electronica expiriments, nothing more. Especially not goth albums. They got back to their doom roots with SOL and Paradise Lost, their last album (which is actually pretty good).

I wouldn't classify them purely as 'goth' records either (obviously they sound nothing like Bauhaus, Sisters Of Mercy, or Joy Division..hehe) but surely I would say that in Paradise Lost's case, "One Second", "Host", "Believe In Nothing", "Symbol Of Life", and even thier new record are much more 'gothic' tinged and have much more in common with 'gothic metal' than their earlier "doom" releases. I don't think they've gone back to their roots at all with their last two records either since to me, their roots lie in the ironically titled "Gothic" and "Paradise Lost" records and neither of their last two releases sound even remotely like tha, and I don't think they have recorded a 'doom' record since "Icon" at the very least.
Regardless, I think if one is looking to get into 'gothic metal', "One Second" and "Host" are good suggestions, especially if they are new to the sub-genre. I'd also recommend "Draconian Times" as well since it is, in many ways, the bridge record between their prior doom roots and their new more mainstream sounding gothic/dark metal sound they have today.
