I never actually got into them. I listened to Let Loose The Swans album, I think that's what its called, and it was boring. Then I tried them out again a couple of months ago with the newer albums, and the vocals where completely clean. I liked it even less now.
That's fair enough, I was just implying that they're quite a popular doom band, although I'd class them more in terms of classic doom rather than funeral. They've used clean vocals ever since their second album. In truth, it's Stainthorpe's vocal range and tone with both the clean and the growls (and recently the blackened vocals on their latest) that I like; it's mournful and has quite a depth. Their early use of the violin was quite tastefully done too, it was appropriately used to add another dimension to the music without being distracting. But that's just my opinion and everyone has their own taste.
If you don't like Turn Loose The Swans, you probably won't like any of their stuff.
Do check out Nortt though. It's depressing stuff
Also, if you like Sunn o))) and Earth type drone then check out Khanate and Teeth Of The Lions Rule The Divine
