Ok, I skipped the second page of this. Lots of ranting and not a lot of actual good suggestions for OP. On a note to the arguing - two things:
1. We live in a generation of 'I'm Too ADD for Subculture' where everything is merged into pop-rap crap and that's it. If it's dark and attracts dark, smart and weird folks, let it be 'goth'. Industrial is Industrial and I would consider it its own monster, but lots of things can be considered 'goth', which is more of an attitude than a genre anyway.
2. What's wrong with bands that sound like Sisters? They had a good sound, I wish I could hear more goth rock these days.
I DJ/host a specifically goth and medieval style party, so perhaps I can give a few recommendations?
Faith and the Muse was an obvious good one. Try also, Dead Can Dance, Qntal (not in English, but you can probably find a cool song in them), Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Rasputina, Faun, the Shroud, Rosetta Stone, Inkubus Sukkubus, perhaps also a few songs from the Cruxshadows (not the biggest fan of them myself, but 'Winterborn' remixed by Subway to Sally has a good feel) - and for the symphonic metal, you can't go wrong with a bit of Nightwish. There are more out there, but, it's late and yah,
