Enchantment is a British death-doom metal band formed in Blackpool in 1991. They are primarily recognized for their contribution to the early 1990s UK doom scene, alongside contemporaries like My Dying Bride and Anathema.
Their debut full-length, 'Dance the Marble Naked' (1994), was released via Century Media and remains a cult classic of the genre, characterized by its blend of guttural vocals and tragic, minor-key guitar harmonies. Despite a long hiatus following their initial run, the band returned in 2022 with 'Cold Soul Embrace', proving their sound had remained remarkably consistent: a heavy, atmospheric approach to doom that avoids the tropes of stoner rock in favor of a more gothic, death-metal-adjacent weight. Critical consensus views them as an underrated but essential piece of the UK death-doom puzzle, bridging the gap between raw underground death metal and the more melodic, atmospheric 'doom' sound that would eventually dominate the decade.
