If you like that at all, their Aegis album features her much more heavily, if with somewhat less "growl". She also has had a few bands since that did "okay" in Norway. Leaves' Eyes does gothic twist on some traditional celtic.

Also, "Beauty and the Beast" death/doom are hard to find, but Cradle of Filth had a few phenomenal songs of that genre. Nymphetamine Fix is my favorite of theirs. It's so hard to find good death or doom that fit my tastes.

I watched a little LP of ashe 2063. FPS's don't work well with me, but it seemed interesting. Me with gaming seems like you with music :) I don't like "vocals" (action reflex games)

The dude growling voice wasn't that bad the first time he sang. Later parts weren't as good tho. The part at 1:22 till 1:45 was my favorite. Really digging the folklore feel.

I actually have really bad reflexes but most games allow to toggle the difficulty and juste enjoy the story with the exploration as the reward, not passing the challenges. I wish it was as easy to toggle the vocals off. So many songs I deeply enjoyed until someone sang and removed any joy listening to it, so i end up playing that first part over and over.

Yeah, IMO it's definitely a step down from the growl voices I like, ex. Peter Steele or Raymond Rohonyi (but had to look him up, which shows how much more I respect Liv Kristine than him)

As for vocals. I'm so attached to vocals it's hard for me to relate. Most music I listen to are the type of person you can immediately recognize if they sing a totally random song acapella. Everything from Enya to Celine Dion, Maynard to Trent Reznor to Peter Steele. Even bands I "kind of like" have that in common.

"Oh my god, that sounds like...." <--if I can't say that if they do a cover or new release and I didn't know, then I probably don't like it.

We're polar opposite. Nevertheless, I don't hate all vocals, Celine Dion is indeed a phenomenal singer , but not everyone is a good singer nor have a good voice, and even then, the lyrics can be a turn-off. I have hyperphantasia and my mind tend to wonder whenever I listen to any song, vocal more often than not disrupt the process. My favorite genre is chiptune music.
