View Poll Results: What is Music? (Poll added on 6th of May 2012).
I've never been that much into them but I am aware that Paradise Belongs To You is largely regarded as a classic and "Christ Goodbye" is an excellent example of '90s death/doom. Will check them out again now... Good taste, orbea!
I figured you might be a fan since you mentioned Draconian and Lacrimas Profundere.
I usually think of something like Winter or Disembowelment when I read 90s death/doom, but Saturnus does count even if they delve into more atmospheric territories.
Here is another classic I would think you may like.
Well, now we are delving into true classics territory. What else is there to say? This is just the paragon of the [sub]genre... along with The Gathering's Mandylion it's hard to argue that female-fronted metal got any better than this in the '90s.

I recently got Mandylion actually after having missing everything between Almost a Dance and How to Measure a Planet? for years. I really should of gotten it earlier, although I am still partial to Souvenirs.
Are you sure your issue is with the music and not with the engineering? In the 2000s, there was a "loudness war" where recording engineers would would master music recordings as if they were commercials, with the entire song at the same level of volume and almost no dynamic range.
I was streaming to the first Highwaymen album on Google Play Music when I decided to check the sample for the same song on HDTracks. They sound COMPLETELY different. The Google Play Music version sounds like what you'd hear on the radio. The HDTracks version sounds sparse and airy, like I'd imagine the original CD would sound like, only at a good level of volume. They either were struck from different masters, or Google Play Music is dynamic-range-compressing the stream.
UPDATE: I got on the Apple Music trial just to do a comparison. The Apple version of that album sounds exactly the same as the Google Play Music version.

I almost linked you Funeral myself and I remember spending a lot of effort in finding a physical copy of In Fields of Pestilent Grief years ago after the original run was sold out. Personally I like that album, but it was fairly controversial due to the change in style and many people disliked her voice. Its understandable though if you listen to Tragedies or Tristesse which are both funeral doom classics and arguably better.
I've been familiar with Trees of Eternity, but I can't say I ever listened before, its rather pleasant.
I also can't really say I am strictly a metal head since I never closely followed any metal sub-genres besides doom metal.
Again, I am stunned, I hadn't heard of this lot either. This is pretty obscure stuff, I'll give this a proper go as well.

Interesting. I had no idea since it's the only Funeral album I've heard. I didn't know how it was thought of in relation to their rest of their oeuvre.

But bittersweet in the context of their history, with Aleah passing away several months before the album was released.

Oh, I'm not strictly either, just mostly. I spent the morning listening to Hildegard von Bingen [something of a tradition now].

That sucks to hear about Trees of Eternity, I was unaware. Funeral lost two members years ago as well. And there is always Scald that despite its lacking production values made this masterpiece just to disband shortly after when the singer died in a train accident.
Thanks fatmac. My Blues collection is immense yet I hadn't heard that take before. I love me some Muddy, but Little Walter simply never fails to grab the gusto.
This is a Walter tune but it isn't Walter and band so the harp isn't quite as sexy but the video certainly IS!
