Kamelot-Elizabeth
I just recently found out about Kamelot, and already they have dethroned all others as my favorite band! Intelligent, emotional, yet powerfully kick-ass! I guess you could call them intelligent goth power metal. Although this song isn't from their Black Halo album which is their best, and the disk I've been listening to non-stop for months, it's a nice sample of what the band can do.
The song is based off the actual story of Elizabeth Bathory, a.k.a the bloody countess, who tired to remain beautiful and young forever by bathing in the blood of virgins. She's believed to have killed over 600 people trying to accomplish this. It sounds sick but the song's awesome and focuses more on the themes of the story, vanity, beauty, growing old, innocence, and evil.
Their albums "Epica" and "The Black Halo" are both based off of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe's Faust, and are even more awesome than this song.
