A lot of great music in this thread, yet beside the new revelation some I've already been introduced into.
However I am interested how is steamy music (genre?) defined?
I know the whole put the art into a genre is hard and almost impossible from a musical side there are some rules how to do so, the only problem, music should have no rules or boundaries.
Few of the bands could easily slip into dark goth genre, some are folkish, many deviantly stepping into many genres, what is that line that connects them all together to fit into this thread?
Can be the ones like The Covenant be considered steamy music as there are some elements in their music I see that way, dammit, this is loads of fun !
Also looking if any recommendation on some heavier/metalish music good to start with
