Here is a few examples:Katatonia: Viva Emptiness - I am planning a small Demon campaign based on this album. Mainly due to the illustration of a person lying in a container. Some rubble in the background makes it look like he has wings. Like a fallen, dead angel. It was taken by Travis Smith (<a href="http://www.siempieces.com)" target="_blank">www.siempieces.com)</a>. Generally I have been very inspired by their music. Mainly for ghoststories and other gothic tales.My Dying Bride: The Light at the End of the World - The title track on this album has inspired me to create a small demi-plane, that is the last remnants of a material plane. The plane consists of a ocean and a small island with a lighthouse. The lighthouse keeper tends the lighthouse as a payment to a god who granted him a last night with his beloved. Now he keeps the lighthouse alone, only accompanied by the seagulls and rodents that populate the small island. I love that track!My Dying Bride: Catherine Blake - A great track, which could be the basis for a great apocalyptic game.Cradle of Filth: Her Ghost in the Fog - This track could be the basis of a great Gothic ghoststory. A woman, accused of witchcraft, is raped by three priests. She then tells her boyfriend to kill her. That he does and he then proceeds to burn down the church the priests are in.Ulver: Perdition City - This album has inspired be to write a film-noir chronicle for the new World of Darkness. The album has a great film-noir mood and is perfect for more dark modern investigatory campaigns. Their album "Themes from William Blake's - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" is also a great inspirational album.Mortiis: Crypt of the Wizard and The Stargate - These two albums are great for traditional D&D campaigns. Very atmospheric and mostly instrumental. The stargate also features a storyline that could create a great D&D campaign.Draconian: Arcane Rain Fell - This new album is a good inspirational source for gothic scenarios. Especially if set in a dark fantasy world like Ravenloft.Other sources I find are great for inspiration: Blackmore's Night (great renaissance inspired music. Great for taverns), :Of the Wand and the Moon: (dark, atmospheric neofolk. Great for travels in woods and for dark fantasy), Forseti (in the vein of :Of the Wand and the Moon<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />, Blut aus Nord (Their latest EP (Thematic Emanation of Archetypical Multiplicity) is great for dark, industrial settings), The Amenta (good inpiration for dark, industrial sci-fi settings) and Borknagar, Moonsorrow and Finntroll (Great viking metal and very good for norse campaigns).</blockquote>
