I'm a metal head and I completely missed the boat on anything gothic or gaze. But I heard the Cocteau Twins and it opened up my ears, their whole discography is on loop. But I don't know shit about anybody else. I've heard most of the essential bands at least a little bit but I don't know what is like, the undeniable gems I haven't heard. Anybody care to give me some direction? I know I like Depeche Mode, The Cure, Chapterhouse, Type O, etc. HALP O WISE ONES
Also general gothy/post punky recs all songs if you're feeling it

Script of the bridge by the chameleons is one of my favorite albums, check that out. Pretty much proto-goth rock by one of the original postpunk bands.

I may beg to differ. Siouxie, Damned, and Christian Death were well around before them. I would argue they were proto-shoegaze.

Well, sorry i guess? Way i see it, it is related to the roots of goth rock, if only to the gothy side of post-punk.

My fav post punk album incoming. SUPER ahead of its time, basically
Stooges style punk + krautrock inspired jams + lo fi production + NOISE + post punk + a cool campy sci fi flavour
just brilliant

I'm not an expert but I enjoy some of this kind of stuff
Besides what you already mentioned:
>darkwave
Lycia
Chelsea Wolfe
>post-punk
This Mortal Coil (the EP in particular)
The Chameleons (not quite goth but it's got the vibe, great music regardless)
>gothic rock
Fields of the Nephilim
The Sisters of Mercy
>gothic metal
Tiamat (Wildhoney in particular is some of the best the genre has to offer)
The Gathering (Mandylion and about half of Nighttime Birds)
Moonspell
Paradise Lost
Katatonia (mainly Discouraged Ones, maybe Dance of December Souls if you stretch the standards some, but it's mostly doom metal)
>ethereal wave
Autumn Grey's Solace (the beautiful side of goth, may decrease your testosterone)

Listen to Cranes, dude. Cranes and Cocteau Twins have always been a great combo to me, like strawberries and cream
