    Don't know any with a female vocalist, but I do know one with clean vocals. We Are The Becoming, formerly known as just, The Becoming. They're not really that metal, but they are goth, and possibly the best lyrics of any goth band out there.

    The Becoming - "I Cry"

    Evanescence, perhaps?

    That's my attempt at throwing out a band that people know about. I don't know much of their music.

    That's probably a fail, too.

    Now then, for unknown bands;

    You might like a band called Voice of Glass. Female vocalist, very gothic, very clean.

    Also, Gretchen is pretty stinkin' cool. Crunchy guitars led by a strong, beautiful voice. Pretty aggressive sounding, but not screaming.

    Lastly, Eowyn. Eowyn is my favorite female vocalist(I saw her play live last Tuesday). Her music is more industrial than gothic, but her vocal style transcends any specific classification and often falls into the gothic realm... but she is AMAZING.

    The occasional Death Growl won't hurt you.

    I have a list

    Not all, but several of the bands fit your bill

    *Edit*

    Ophelia, don't sweat it. They are VERY similar genres

    *Edit 2*

    Oh they do flip out over it. I had an older Symphonic Metal list, from when I was still a modern metal n00b, and I had some Gothic Bands on it. You should have seen some of the bitching and moaning replies I got.

    I can't believe you idiots haven't mentioned TYPE O NEGATIVE.

    Definitely NOT female vocals, but a great goth/doom band.

    These guys invented the idea of "goth metal" without even trying.

    Probably one of the best metal bands of all time.

    Please don't slaughter me if I get gothic metal and symphonic metal confused!

    *Edit*

    Aww thanks Darth, I've always been afraid of getting pwned by an extreme genre-distinguishable metalhead here but maybe they're just a figment of my imagination.
