Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. After you can see once again, you hear the beginnings of an acoustic number called "Death Whispered a Lullaby" off the album "Damnation". Which band's concert are you attending?

Answer: Opeth

"Death Whispered a Lullaby" is indeed from Opeth's Spring 2003 release, "Damnation", the acoustic follow-up to the more metal sounding "Deliverance".

Answer: Armored Saint

Armored Saint's first album "March of the Saint" included the song "Madhouse", and before his Anthrax days, John Bush did a wonderful job with vocals.

Answer: Cries on the Wind

Off of Anathema's 1996 release "Eternity", "Cries on the Wind" is a haunting trip using their cleaner vocal style.

Answer: Penance

Fusing rock, doom, and metal, Pittsburgh's Penance have, over the course of their 10+ year career, become one of the most revered acts within the scene that spawned Trouble, The Obsessed, Sleep and a myriad of 70's influenced hard rock bands. With a history that stretches back to the 80's within the now-legendary thrash scene, Penance has become one of the most well known yet misunderstood doom rock bands.

Answer: Six Feet Under

Led by former Cannibal Corpse frontman Chris Barnes, Six Feet Under released "Warpath" in 1997, where the band turned to a more 'stoner doom' sound.

Answer: The Gathering

In 1994, magic came in the form of Anneke van Giersbergen to The Gathering, whose angelic voice fitted their highly atmospheric music perfectly. It also clicked on a personal level and German label Century Media was willing to give the band a contract. They then recorded their first album with Anneke, "Mandylion", released in 1995.

Answer: My Dying Bride

Few bands have released such diverse records of a distinct high quality than the United Kingdom's My Dying Bride have since their inception in 1990. From their primitive origins as a caustic, raw death metal band, their sound would develop to incorporate distinct gothic elements-thankfully without the overblown theatrics of said scene.

Answer: Nevermore

Hailing from Seattle, Washington, Nevermore has successfully emblazoned themselves with a grey aura of enigma that has become their legacy. The charismatic vocalist Warrel Dane and steadfast bassist Jim Sheppard, who survived their major label experience by the strength of their integrity when the world all-too-willingly embraced the grunge movement.

Answer: Candlemass

A band that have got their own chapter in The National Encyclopedia of Doom, Candlemass released the first masterpiece of misery in 1986 with the classic "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus", and from that moment we judge heaviness with new sad eyes.

Answer: Decoryah

Coming from the frost of Finland, this talented band brings its music of incredible beauty. Their music could be classified as gothic, atmospheric progressive rock with dark guitar background, wonderful and majestic electric keyboard melodies and magical female/male vocals.
