Best gothic metal artists of the 2010s

Streaming rewrote every incentive underneath a record: its length, its release date, whether it needed a single at all. Trap production became pop's default rhythm, and a lot of the decade's best artists arrived through a laptop rather than a label.

Everyone who released a gothic metal album in the 2010s, ordered by how Riffiter listeners rate their catalog.
