Top Gothic / Symphonic Metal Albums of 2018

As one of our shorter lists, we still received over 40 promos in the genre this year, but nothing really stood out, except for these releases. The genre seems to be sinking into a repetitive phase that we hope 2019 fixes.

4. Dark Sarah - The Golden Moth (2018)

Very theatrical and highly entertaining, Dark Sarah keeps getting better and better.

3. Visions of Atlantis - The Deep & the Dark (2018)

With Clémentine Delauney breathing new life into this band, "The Deep & the Dark" was one of their best releases to date.

2. Sirenia - Arcane Astral Aeons (2018)

Morten Veland and company always keep things interesting and fresh, so be sure to get your copy of this excellent release

1. Beyond the Black - Heart of the Hurricane (2018)

Fronted by the charismatic and highly talented Jennifer Haben, this band took the scene by surprise with the high quality of their latest release.
