The Hall of Judgement: Anathema - Eternity
Sonny has requested that this release be submitted into the Hall of Judgement. If you agree with the below change request, vote YES. If you don't, vote NO.
Request: Anathema's 1996 "Eternity" album should be added to the Gothic Metal genre on top of its existing position under Doom Metal.
This change will add the Gothic Metal (Conventional) subgenre to the release.
Member comment: "I think that Anathema's 1996 album leans more towards gothic metal than doom metal, so I would like to see gothic metal added whilst retaining it's doom metal tagging. This won't affect the album's clan. My reasons, from my review are:
The bass sound in particular comes straight from The Sisters of Mercy, the jangling nature of a lot of the guitar work owes much to The Mission or the early sound of The Cult's Billy Duffy and the multi-part Eternity, especially part III, even sees vocalist Vincent Cavanagh aping Aaron Stainthorpe's style of gothic delivery."
NOTE: Only members of The Fallen can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
