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."
