I post in the voice of Christopher Walken
I'm not sure about the influence on Goth music, but it's definitely a good one - would place it among my top 3 PL albums I own (I think I have most of them until 2005).
Personally listening right now to Hulder (freshly found via Black Metal Promotion):
I don't really know much about the Goth scene, but my impression was bands like Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride started appealing more to that fanbase as the 90s wore on (both bands shifted from death to cleaner vocals for example). So my statement about that was just based on speculation from this impression
