So the only one I really have is Candlemass - Nightfall, unless you count all my Black Sabbath CDs.

Any suggestions?
 
I'd check out Eletric Wizard as well. And if you're into the whole doom/death genre, November's Doom is a good band. I can't think right now and I know there's a shitload of other good doom bands.. just can't think!
 
There's probably a few threads on this in the archives, but what the hey...

Go find Abdullah's self-titled debut. It rules.

And if you want to check out some superb, underrated doom/death (done extremely well), get Love History's "Anasazi."
 
My Dying Bride
(Older) Katatonia
Forest Of Shadows
Parameceum

I'm not a huge fan of the doom genre, though.

I usually run a search before asking a question, but I didn't feel like it this time. :D

Thanks for the replies.
 
Electric Wizard is THE Doom Metal band, check them out.

I'm not up on all the genre's, like always, but here are some bands that might fall under doom.

Electric Wizard
Eyehategod
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Isis

only one of those bands is doom....

anyway.

if you are looking for traditional doom like candlemass, check out solitude aeturnus and pentagram.


a lot of teh good extreme bands have been mentioned already.
my favs are disembowelment, morgion, skepticism, unholy, shape of despair, thergothon, avernus, evoken, my dying bride, old paradise lost. dusk is also really good, as is paramecium (they are christian, if that matters).

i suggest you waste no more time on this thread and just head over to www.doom-metal.com

basically before all the above check the classics that influenced everyone first :
Pentagram
Saint Vitus
Witchfinder General
Trouble
Solitude Aeturnus
Count Raven
that stuff

if youre into the trad stuff, yeah.
but i dont think most of that stuff influenced alot of the more extreme doomdeath and funeral doom bands.
 
your Sabbath cds count.

holy cow do i ever like Pentagram.

Mourning Beloveth is very cool.

let's not leave out Corrupted.

and yes, doom-metal.com is a great place for info.

also, i like Galadriel alot.
 
These are the most excellent doom metal bands:

Saint Vitus
Reverend Bizarre

And some other great ones as well:

Morgion

Solitude Aeturnus
Trouble
