Is Shadecrown classed as doom? Listening to the album I would have just thought they were melodic death metal.
They're in the intersection of death/doom and melodeath, in a similar way to say Daylight Dies or October Tide, or a band I know that TAC also likes, Enshine.
Shadecrown is really nice. I shouldn't have posted that so I could use it in the Wolfking roulette.
They're a band that I had sampled and Saved, but for some reason forgot about them. Arrich sent them to me in my roulette last spring so I started really checking them out.
I definitely wouldn't think doom when I think of Shadecrown.
Enshine was my gateway to harsh vocals. I wouldn't classify them as doom either, as I really don't care for doom style. I do find Enshine...moody...which is quite different from doom.
I was going to make the comment that you should have kept them quiet. 
I think moody is a good alternate word when we're talking about doom.
I can definitely get behind the "moody". To me, it's all about the melancholy...some of my favorite bands/albums are those that nail that combination goosebumpy sadness in the music. Not to say that I want to listen to sad music all the time
but it's certainly something I tend to connect to as a musical expression.
That Shadecrown album is very good. There are also some traces of mid-career Sentenced in there (Slivers!), which is always a good thing in my book.
As for me, a mixed bag of genres over the last few days...
Anyone familiar with Operus? They are a Canadian band, and this is, I believe, their second album (came out in 2020). Pretty interesting "theatrical" power metal. It's a bit over-the-top at times, but not to the point of excess cheese. And it can be (relatively) heavy and fast-paced too. Enjoyable, for sure.
