not because the music is depressing, but becasue their last two cds havent been so good. their best stuff was stuff like she is the dark and catherine blake. a good mix of screaming and clean vocals, slow doomy parts and furious faster parts musically. now its just doomy and clean. that was good on a line of deathless kings, but the last two the feel has shifted, more like .3498% or whatever. sad, sad.
