My Dying Bride, Anathema, or Paradise Lost?

[no country for old wainds]

Anathema or My Dying Bride......I can't decide.

My Dying bride got me into doom, "turn loose the swans" had a major impact on me and my life. It broadened the style of music i listened to. When i first heard them i said "yes, that's it!" even though I never heard them before. Still the GODS of doom metal

Anathema came around the same time, Serenades is one monster slab of emotional doom metal, they have been extremely conistant up until the last album which i thought lacked something. I still cannot describe the impact of emotions this band gives me, MY FAVORITE BAND EVER

Paradise Lost i got into after these bands, and although not as gothic or doomy as early MDB or anathema they were still very dark and emotional. ICON and Draconian Times I fell in love with, I rediscovered Shades Of God not too long ago and decided that it's a masterpiece too. Some of the later stuff is great too, but the early days were the best

Overall i would say Anathema then MDB then paradise lost

I love that song. I also really like the video for The Silent Enigma. Very melancholic.

oh come on it's a very stupid video.

 

[Don Corleone]

and i love the three bands equally, maybe MDB and anathema more. and also im one of the few people on earth who liked PL's "host," "believe in nothing" and "symbol of life." well to be precise, symbol of life received some good criticism, though.

My dying Bride, any day. Closely followed by Anathema (well the older stuff anyways).

Paradise lost just doesnt do it for me.

i`d say that even in the new material of PL they are still great, it`s just not metal. they covered this old pop tune called Small Town boy or something, sounds great

[Niklas]

paradise lost, purely for their show at bloodstock 03

 

[Nico16]

My Dying Bride, hands down.

But Anathema have created masterpieces with the Silent Enigma and Alternative 4. The new stuff is good too, but the new albums are no timeless classics.

From Paradise Lost I've only got the debut, it's sooo über-doomy and it's got some kind of evil-feeling to it, it's totally great. even if the band couldn't play at all at that time and the production sucks ass. (but I guess that's are what makes the album so great
