Beauty and the beast

The term "beauty and the beast" refers to the aesthetic contrasts, a clean female voice or singing soprano with aggressive or guttural masculinos.Una of the bands that used this type is more Draconian. Paradise Lost and The Gathering and had used this technique in some songs from earlier albums, but it is the Norwegian Theater of Tragedy, that the, release of their eponymous first LP is devoted to this use of the technique in 1995. The second album Velvet Darkness They Fear came the following year. The third album, Theater of Tragedy Aegis (1998), the band ventures into fresh musical territory. The piano is replaced by electronic keyboards, while Raymond Rohonyi opted to eliminate their guttural voices for singing or too soft sometimes whispers. The music on this album was more clean and smooth, shedding the distortion of the guitar but compensated with a full performance that prompted many European critics to give perfect revisions to Aegis. Other groups which contrast male vocal and aggressive clean female vocals continued to emerge in the late 1990s. Trail of Tears was formed in 1994, emerged as Tristania and The Sins of Thy Beloved in 1996. The three Norwegian groups released their debut album in 1998. Tristania deviates from the other groups, with their use of three different vocal styles: the operatic soprano Vibeke Stene, baritone Østen Bergøy and style guttural death-black metal type of Morten Veland. In His second album Beyond the Veil of 1999 were used ten-member choir and violin passages leading contributor also Pete Johansen in The Sins of Thy Beloved and Sirenia, winning "to rave reviews" for Europe. By then, the band had risen to the top of gothic metal with symphonic approach to improvement. They had a creative heavyweight in the composition and image when the singer, guitarist and main songwriter Morten Veland left the group to form Sirenia. But Tristania continued to prosper with subsequent release and is considered one of the most important bands in the world of gothic metal. For this decade, the art of beauty and the beast, has flourished with many representatives from the European continent. Cradle of Filth also became known for making use of this technique by Liv Kristine and guest vocalists Sarah Jezebel Deva. A few critics complain that the approach to this technique has led to the disappearance of many bands, to the point that has become a cliché in the genre of gothic metal.
