小簡介
當1995年來自挪威的Theatre of Tragedy發(fā)表了首張同名專輯之后，歌特式金屬樂的風潮便開始蔓延至全歐洲，并帶動大量歌特金屬樂團的追隨，在短短幾年時間之內，歌特金屬樂便得到蓬勃的發(fā)展而成為歐洲金屬樂界一股新興的勢力！
Theatre of Tragedy的出現(xiàn)，可說為原本剛強制式化的金屬音樂，如吉他英雄式的音樂編奏型態(tài)，帶來了新的沖擊與啟發(fā)，讓世人體驗到原來金屬音樂也能有如此陰柔和著重氣氛營造的表現(xiàn)方式，為金屬音樂開啟了另一種新的可能性！
Theatre of Tragedy或許不是第一個嘗試將女音主唱或是將80年代英倫歌特搖滾元素融入于金屬樂當中的樂團（如Paradise Lost），但他們卻是確立歌特金屬風格與帶動歌特金屬發(fā)展的首要功臣之一！TOT將悠柔的女音演唱、death metal的死腔、歌特搖滾闇中帶美的精髓，與沉重的doom metal相互融合，成為了新型態(tài)的gothic death metal，TOT的音樂元素，如優(yōu)美女音主唱與death男腔對唱的形式，大量的鍵盤弦樂、鋼琴運用，都成為日后gothic metal的最基本要素。柔弱女音與殘暴死腔的對唱，猶如天使與惡魔般的對比，黑闇兼具優(yōu)美感的氣氛與旋律，都是TOT為歌特金屬做出的定義。
Formed out of Norways famed black metal scene, Theatre of Tragedy combine elements of goth and metal with an added touch of drama thanks in part to the dual vocals of Raymond I. Rohonyi and Liv Kristine Espenaes. With the accompaniment of Frank Claussen （guitars）, Tommy Olsson （guitars/programming）, Eirik T. Saltroe （bass）, Hein Frode Hansen （drums） and Lorentz Aspen （synthesizer）, Theatre of Tragedy orchestrates a different performance piece with each song, while the singers bounce dialogues off of each other and even at times portray different characters. With their 1995 self-titled debut on Massacre, Theatre of Tragedy won over Century Media Records, who began licensing their albums for U.S. distribution. Velvet Darkness They Fear appeared in 1996, and the more electronic-flavored follow-up Aegis was released in 1998; both albums helped substantially expand the groups following among both goth and metal audiences. Before Musique was issued in 2000, the band parted ways with both Olsson and Saltroe.
