Now THIS is gothic doom. Draconian was originally founded in 1994 under a different name, playing melodic death. They switched gears pretty quickly, though, and since then all of their releases have been gothic doom.

They sound more doom than gothic to me, but if Grave or Hollow moves the thread, I won't protest. Anyways, I own only their first LP, "Where Lovers Mourn" at the moment. I'm quite fond of it. Especially the frequent allusions to their melodeath past with the growls.

When I first heard them, I didn't see how they were doom (not even referring to true doom either), but the song you posted has a Funeral-esque feel to it.

The second part of that song.

^ There's very little funeral about the conclusion of that song, but I can see what you mean.

The Amaranth

That one's definitely gothic/doom if I have any kind of grasp on the genre. Like I said, though, I only have the one album by them.

Those two make me think they're more Gothic.
