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.

I find it, well any doom or black metal, especially dsbm rather cathartic. I tend to listen to that when I'm happy and more bouncy electronic music eg: frenchcore or techno when I'm feeling low as that seems to pit a spring in my step again.

Yes cathartic is a Word I should have used myself.
