Albums currently kicking your ass

90s doom death = "Hey remember Black Sabbath? Wonder what happens when I also remember to growl instead of sing."

I love that Tiamat album though.

"hey remember Black Sabbath?" >>>>>>> "hey i forget, what's a 'riff' again?"

I don't see how you could describe Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Tiamat, Katatonia etc. as Black Sabbath with growling.

I don't see how you could describe traditional doom metal as remember Black Sabbath. I figured we were both being hyperbolic, do you actually think Saint Vitus, Trouble, Candlemass, Pentagram etc are mere Black Sabbath clones?

Masterpiece, everything that followed is such a massive letdown by comparison.

Well, you weren't around back in the early 90's, or were still in preschool at the very most. Those death-doom bands weren't able to consult you as the sole arbitrator of what is or isn't worthy of being considered a riff. They just had to make do with conventional logic, which is how they, along with their listeners, mistook so many of the guitar parts they wrote for riffs.

If and when I manage to stay awake through an entire Saint Vitus album, I'll let you know.

What about the rest of the bands I mentioned dickface?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I found Trouble to be mostly a snoozefest, Candlemass I like, and Pentagram, I know I've heard but I can't remeber what they sound like.

 

[CiG]

Fair enough, we can't all like everything.
I just think your characterization of traditional doom metal is rather unfair if you're not being hyperbolic. If anything hey remember Black Sabbath is something stoner doom is much more guilty of.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

That's probably true. I'm mostly swinging a low blow at a genre I don't like.

 

[CiG]

I always placed you above HBB and his perpetual low-blows against black metal, which I'm sure has nothing to do with his innate desire to low-blow a black man or something.

Usually I don't like it when vidya tries making metal music because they habit of doing the exact same couple songs over and over, but this soundtrack does it pretty well. A good example of actual metal riffs in contrast to down-tuned Sisters of Mercy riffs with acoustic parts and keyboards interspersed found in 90s doom/death.
