Theatre of Tragedy 'velvet darkness they fear' is probably the best gothic doom album ever, if you like slow heavy music that has a lot of feeling there is no reason not to like it in my opinion.
I mainly like regular traditional doom enjoying it regardless that it's not exactly true doom and commercial, but not nearly as commercial as lacuna coil older within temptation or older gathering. Livs vocals just give it a more mainstream sound because she's a female and the music has gothic tints. The music is still very rooted in doom.
From what I remember the band was influenced by cathedral, the band worked with liv at a certain point which turned the tables. I never heard female vocals over heavy guitars like that mixed with death metal vocals so I found the album a piece of work.
The production is also perfect.
