Like I said, black/doom hybrid. :)

Could you explain to me how to tell if something is death metal then? If it has the "death metal" growling vocals and is heavy, I just sort of assumed it was death metal. For example, when I think of black metal, I imagine the sort of rasping / shrieking vocals it's associated with, and when I think of doom metal, I think of, for example, Type O Negative or Saint Vitus. Since Raventale sounded nothing like either one of those, I didn't picture it as black or doom. I am relatively inexperienced at this though.
