I can't reallt offer you any suggestions, but I can point you toward a great website. www.pandora.com is a site that will create a playlist of artists based on your input. So if you enter Evanescence, it will build you a channel of similar artists. Try it.

All those answers aren't really correct, as I'm sure you've noticed. The real answer is--NO OTHER BAND EXISTS, you and I are both sorry about that. Really, there are no other mainstream goth bands of any quality with female leads. Here's are your best bets: Nightwish: they lean a little toward 80's metal, but have some great songs and musicians--not that polished mixing though. Lacuna Coil, The Sins of Thy Beloved, Epica, etc are too authentic sounding to be heard outside of a Dungeons and Dragons convention, but who knows... These bands have a similar sound, but with male leads: Red, POD, Linkin Park (sorta), Breaking Benjamin, 30 Second to Mars (sorta), t.A.T.u. (in a techno-esc way), and Ramstein. None of these suggestions will really satisfy you....

Just go to lastfm.com and add bands you like and they will recommend you similar bands.

Antonamasia - Keeping Nothing ep...good luck finding it...if you do, then you will like it a lot. Sounds a lot like both bands

You could try listening to bands like Lacuna Coil and Epica. Anyhow, you have really great taste, those you mentioned are two of my favourite bands.

Flyleaf - All Around Me Breaking Benjamin - Diary of Jane Tarja Turunen - I Walk Alone Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You Paramore - Decode Moby - Extreme Ways Nightwish I've included the names of some songs next to the bands, hope you find some you like! ^_^

Wow, I love Evanescence and Within Temptation too! I don't know if this band could be classed as "like" them. They are on the other hand a great band. They're called Biffy Clyro... website :www.biffyclyro.com
