Gothic metal/rock

Lately I've been listening to a lot of goth metal and rock.
Is there anyone here who shares my new passion?
I've been listening to Flowing Tears:

I love Serpentine. The album rocks.
I also listen to a lot of Faith & The Muse:

I'm getting some cds of Samael and Tiamat.
Got any other recommendations for me?

Probably a ton of stuff I forgot doing this just off the top of my head but the following I consider mostly 'essential' for forming a collection as far as rock goes. I don't listen to 'metal' so I'm kind of dubious about anything with the genre title

Bauhaus
In the Flat Field
Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape
Siouxsie & the Banshees
The Scream
The Cure
17 Seconds
Faith
Sisters of Mercy
First and Last and Always
Floodland
Southern Death Cult
Self titled- later became 'The Cult'
Alien Sex Fiend
Acid Bath
Maximum Security
Fields of the Nephilim
Later became 'The Nephilim'- All their albums
Rosetta Stone
An Eye for the Main Chance
Razed in Black
You'd like all their albums- mostly guitar rock/electronic
Clan of Xymox
EBM/Darkwave, highly recommend any of it
Deine Laiken
EBM/Darkwave, mixed feelings about what to recommend there
Das Ich
Destillat
Most of their albums are very good
Swans
Filth
Element
Red meat and beauty queens
Ikon
All their albums are quite good

I admit I've a soft spot for Type O Negative.

Thanks
I know Clan of Xymox and it's not that special.
Fields of the Nephilim is gothic metal.
There are no rock songs with growling.
I know the cure too but I don't like them.
Das Ich sounds too much like goa to me. lots of acids.
It's not bad but I'm looking for that special sounding goth.
l'll listen to the rest.

Try Diary of Dreams for Gothic metal or Theatre of Tragedy witch is an extremely Gothic band that combines their music with a play.
Basically they write short musicals lol.
Flowing Tears are also great.
Garden of Delight is unique although I wasn't fancy of their sound.
Der Blutharsch & Deutsch Nepal are also very Gothic.
Try Lacuna Coil too. They are not as metalic as Flowing Tears but they are still gothic metal.
Tristiana is also nice. Thought if you hate heavy growling you'll hate them.
