Раз вспомнил по ассоциации Theatre of Tragedy:
Разумеется ранний Theatre of Tragedy, пока стиль не поменялся.
А тот альбом тоже проникнут отчанияем...
Послушать Velvet Darkness they Fear - Seraphic Deviltry

Dialog from "And when He Falleth" -
Man: That cross you wear around your neck; is it only a decoration, or are you a true Christian believer?
Girl: Yes, I believe - truly
Man: Then I want you to remove it at once! - and never to wear it within this castle again! Do you know how a falcon is trained my dear? Her eyes are sown shut. Blinded temporarily she suffers the whims of her God patiently, until her will is submerged and she learns to serve - as your God taught and blinded you with crosses.
Girl: You had me take off my cross because it offended....
Man: It offended no-one. No - it simply appears to me to be discourteous to... to wear the symbol of a deity long dead. My ancestors tried to find it. And to open the door that separates us from our Creator.
Girl: But you need no doors to find God. If you believe....
Man: Believe?! If you believe you are gullible. Can you look around this world and believe in the goodness of a god who rules it? Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death! They rule this world.
Girl: There is also love and life and hope.
Man: Very little hope I assure you. No. If a god of love and life ever did exist... he is long since dead. Someone... something rules in his place.
Сейчас группа сменила стиль, а певица ушла в Leaves Eyes (gothic/folk metal):

folk/gothic metal, в отличие от группы где поет сестра здесь слово folk на первом месте.
Особенно мне нравятся нежно начинающиеся баллады, резко уходящие в металл:
