I haven't heard the album, but isn't that usually referred to as funeral doom?
i think we are all talking about the same thing, let's not argue about the genre label but enjoy the music instead
I don't know what funeral doom is (maybe a newer name for this style), but back in the early 90's, bands like Paradise Lost, Tiamat, Anathema and My Dying Bride were laying foundations for doom-death. Back then Lake of Tears were doom-death as well, so were Pyogenesis (incredible band, before they went alternative). Most of this bands eventually turned gothic, but doom-death is a style, although pretty dead for some time. Since I like Slumber and Swallow the Sun, I'll check out Mourning Beloveth as well, I'm glad to see this style coming back, makes me remember a bit my youth. Besides, when it's done wright, it's really beautiful.
