I've been wondering if there are any bands that originated in the states... because most of the goth bands are from the U.K. (understandable, since punk also originated there)

oh, but did you mean gothrock? Yes, that's what I meant... but wow, The Cruxshadows are from the states? Through Rogue's crooning voice I thought he was British sweatdrop but yeah they are a Darkwave band so they don't quite count.

You've got (major):
Christian Death
.45 Grave
Razed in Black
The Cruxshadows
Ego Likeness
Voltaire (Technically, he's Cuban, but was raised in New York)
As well as (minor... Imo bold my favorites...):
Bitter Grace
Burning Image
Caelum Bliss
Children On Sun
Cinema Strange
Ex-voto
Eva O
Faith and the Muse
Fear Cult
Fields of Aplomb
Flesh Eaters
Frank the Baptist
Gitane Demone
The Gun Club
Hate in the Box
Hate Sex
Human Drama
Last Dance
London After Midnight
Lycia
Machine in the Garden
Mephitzo Waltz
Mistle Thrush
The Naked and the dead
Opium Den
Phantom Limbs
Red Voice Choir
Reliquary
Shadow Project
The Shroud
Strange Boutique
Switchblade Symphony
Tears for the Dying
Voodoo Church
The Wake
Written in Ashes
...are all that I can think of. Each of the bands listed has put out at least one whole goth-rock album.

The Cruxshadows are from Florida... I would've never guessed xd
And I've heard of Voltaire many times before, but I've never actually listened to his stuff before.
Last Dance sounds intriguing, too.

Dead Ed And I've heard of Voltaire many times before, but I've never actually listened to his stuff before. Voltaire is perhaps the most popular modern goth-rock artist today, though, he's gotten his fair share of criticism. If you want to hear him for yourself, you can go to his website ( http://www.voltaire.net/ ) and download (legally) a few of his songs. However, I should mention that the songs on his website are all examples of his comedy work. His body of work is divided between dead-serious european-folk inspired goth-rock, and utterly silly pop goth-rock. Here's a break down of his +/- : 1) He has a variety of influences in his earlier work / His later work is all too focussed on a single influence 2) He is innovative in that he brings comedy to his work, which is rarely found in goth-rock / He makes goth-rock into a novelty (that's a negative) by injecting slapstick into an artistic and nuanced genre 3) He is an amazing lyricist, one of the best living song writers (in my opinion) / His vocals are obviously untrained, and instrumentally, his sound is entirely dependent on other performers

I've just tried "When You're Evil" off of the site, and true, I can sense some light-heartedness in it. smile I wasn't too surprised, either. After all, he seemed pretty relaxed during his interview on CNN 3nodding "And it's so easy when you're evil... this is the life you see, the devil tips his hat to me. I do it all because I'm evil, and I do it all for free. Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need."

I luff that song. Heck. I love Voltaire.
Oh.......Rogue had been to Europe many times during his childhood which may contribut to his voice....he was born in Virginia.
