Albums currently kicking your ass

[The Ozzman]

I sometimes think Doom could be my favourite genre, as the stuff I love, I really fucking love. But then for every great doom album I hear, I hear a lot more that fail to move me. I don’t get it honestly. Note that I generally prefer ‘epic’ doom to the more Vitus-y strain of doom.

I’d never consider Death Penalty to be one of the best of the genre either. And it’s hardly even straight up Doom anyway.

I also don’t rave to Reverend Bizarre anywhere near as much as most doomsters either. Although I do like them.

You slip further into the out crowd with that statement. Doom, by and large, is fucking gay though.

It surprised no one that you dont like one of the truest forms of metal.

That being said, Witchfinder General is kind of shitty and their lyrics sound like theyre written by a horny down syndromer. Friends of Hell is amusing occasionally.

I feel like the people that dont like Pentagram/Vitus/The Obsessed style doom try and forget the blues and stoner rock leanings the forefather of the genre shared. Comedy is loving Master of Reality and Vol 4 but then not being able to ever admit to liking any other stoner rock/metal in existence.

I've admitted I like Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and some other select doom bands before. I've admitted I don't really like Vol. 4 I believe.

I've admitted that i'm a pleb I believe.

yes, yes you have.

That part of the comment wasnt really directed at you. More toward (in my experience) usually europeans that dont like vitus/obsessed/pentagram but like other doom metal bands, almost always NOT from the US.

Stoner bands usually amplify the stoned out elements of 70's proto metal and those elements IMO are far from being what made those old bands great, so gotta disagree with you there.

Kampfar - Mellom Skogkledde Aaser

Along with early Hades and Falkenbach, this is easily the best album in this style of black/folk not released by Aeternus I've ever heard.

 

[The Ozzman]

I have yet to hear a bad album from these dudes. Fucking solid.

 

[Krow]

Othuum - traditional lovecraftian doom metal I found @ 3 am on bandcamp. Big meaty riffs and vocals that remind me a bit of slow drawn out goth rock singers.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Cool stuff. I like their logo, too.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Deteriorot In Ancient Beliefs
Doomy death metal perfection. Perfect blend of mid paced death with blasty sections. Not to mention the evil vocals and endless riffs.

[Baroque]

The end of this album is a masterpiece, hopefully not the last we ever hear from Vektor

Their first two albums are much better

 

[Krow]

Well this isnt epicus 2, but it was never going to be. Big and meaty quality doom, like most later day mass. This time, with Lanqvist though. Pleasantly surprised by this one.

[Master_Yoda77]

Man, if My Journey to the Stars isn't one of Burzum's best songs, I don't fucking know.

[Krow]

Hey @Master_Yoda77 did you hear this last year? This is some epic fucking heavy doom metal and I thought for sure the singer was Farida Lemouchi from The Devil's Blood. Its surprisingly not though.




Edit: Goddamnit. This reminds me how much I miss Farida and Selim. Quick, someone tell me how bad 'fauxcult rock" was so I have to pull a stiff upper lip.
