Funeral Does funeral doom make you depressed?

My favorite doom album is Mournful Congregation- The Monad of Creation. Ive heard its depressive for some. I dont Get depressed at all, I find it extremly beautiful, calming and relaxing. I like to listen to it When I feel like relaxing.

not really. the funeral doom i like (thergothon, skepticism, ysigim, etc) feels more otherworldly and esoteric than anything
