Gothminister is a Norwegian gothic metal band. Formed in 1999, they released eight studio albums and gained success in Germany.[1] They played in several German music festivals, including Wave-Gotik-Treffen (WGT), the Dark Storm Festival and the M'era Luna Festival, and performed in front of over 10,000 people at the Schattenreich Festival.

They took part in Melodi Grand Prix 2024, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, with the song "We Come Alive".[2] They advanced from their semi-final on 13 January 2024,[3] finishing fourth in the final.[4]
