I was intrigued that you included The Cult here, and nothing wrong with that, as it happens I was listening to "Love" maybe two weeks back. I guess they might generally be considered "Gothic Rock" rather than Heavy Metal, although the OP did state that the genre can be a little undefined. When I think of The Cult, my mind usually drifts to the Sisters of Mercy, although I note that the Sisters of Mercy typically use a drum machine, whereas The Cult use the real thing. Some maybe The Cult are one side of the genre dividing line and the Sisters of Mercy drift the other? (or maybe It's all Rock and Roll, as Lemmy would say)

I discovered Sisters of Mercy a few years back. I knew of the name but never listened to them before until a few years ago.

I really like what I heard on the one Album of theirs that I own called "Floodland". I have yet to explore the other Albums they have but plan to in the near future. Another good one that I find similar is "The Church". Good stuff either way

I guess I've always considered The Cult Metal because they have that kind of sound IMO but agree they might just as easily be on the Goth side as well. Kind of like Danzig I suppose.
