Gothic metal is a fusion genre combining the heaviness of heavy metal with the dark atmospheres of gothic rock. The music of gothic metal is diverse with bands known to adopt the gothic approach to different styles of heavy metal music. The genre originated during the early 1990s in the United Kingdom originally as an outgrowth of death-doom, a fusion of death metal and doom metal. Lyrics are generally dark and introspective with inspiration from gothic fiction as well as personal experiences.

Line-up

Fabian Varesi ("Necros") was the keyboardist and main composer of the Italian extreme gothic metal band Theatres des Vampires. He also performs backing vocals for the band, along with Zimon Lijoi and Gabriel Valerio. He joined the band in 1997. Fabian can also play the electric and bass guitars, but his skill in them is not strong enough to be on stage, so when composing he often only plays long enough to get the idea to the player who will take it to the stage. Fabian is also the general manager of an Action Figure Company named Kaustic Plastik, and this is his main work. He is composing several tracks for the sound track of Cult of Lamia, which Sonya Scarlet will be playing a vampire in this horror film.

Gabriel Valerio is the drummer of the Italian extreme gothic metal band Theatres des Vampires and Circle Of moebius. He also performs backing vocals with Zimon Lijoi and Fabian Varesi. He joined Theatres des Vampires in 1997.
