abstract="In the present paper I analyze the theme of death in Gothic Metal songs such as Forever Failure (1995) by Paradise Lost, Everything Dies (1999) by Type O Negative, The Hanged Man (1998) by Moonspell or Gone with The Sin (1999) by HIM. The subthemes I am mostly interested in are the death of anima, the suicide of the self and the universal death. Several Romanian poets - Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), Iuliu Cezar Săvescu (1866-1903), George Bacovia (1881-1957) and D. Iacobescu (1893-1913), who all have in common the pursuit of nihilism - used death to enhance their nihilist poetical universe. I will trace the aforementioned subthemes in some of their most spectacular poems. © 2018 Gheorghe Zane Institute for Economic and Social Research, Romanian Academy, Iasi Branch.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
