The best gothic metal album is also a sad one. It's such a huge pity that goth genre took the other direction (generic pop music with distorted guitars)... 1998's "Aegis" reflects its time so well. Nowadays you just cannot listen to it without heavy nostalgia. The production is perfect, Liv Kristine's voice has the finest hour. But the most important is the great music. The amount of pure beauty is astonishing.
