Church of Australian Metal

Few more favourites:







Also, with all the D666 fanfare on here I don't think I've ever seen any praise for Spear Of Longinus.

Can't forget this EP.

 

[no country for old wainds]

surprised nobody mentioned diSEMBOWELMENT yet, they're top tier in many circles. mournful congregation also, i'm not a big fan but a lot of people i respect love them. i guess funeral doom isn't so big around here. don't think hobbs' angel of death or abramelin (ex-acheron) have been mentioned yet?

 

[The Ozzman]

From Melbourne

I mentioned Acheron/Abramelin and put up a song from when they were still Acheron

 

[no country for old wainds]

This thread is for posting good Australian bands. You seem to be lost.

To be sure, I'm mainly acquainted with Australia's offerings in (non-traditional) doom metal. Along with the aforementioned diSEMBOWELMENT and Mournful Congregation, see also:

Murkrat:


The Slow Death (featuring Mandy Andresen of Murkrat, but her singing style is markedly different here than her clean vocals in her own band):


Elysian Blaze (As much black metal as funeral doom, but I'll count it anyway):


Virgin Black:

 

[Satanstoenail]

Blood Duster are great too.

OH YEAH LIVE FOR METAL

 

[Vilden]

The first bands I thought of were diSEMBOWELMENT, Stargazer and D666. The Wizar'd is good too.

I also think Abyssic Hate is totally fine, not top tier stuff but way ahead of what nowdays passes for "depressive black metal".

 

[CiG]

These guys are fast becoming one of my favourite Australian bands. Slayer worship.

I wish I had more hands, so I can give those titties 4 thumbs down.

Someone posted Elysian Blaze earlier but not this album. This is modern metal masterpiece.

[Draehl]

Drowning the Light!

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Cauldron Black Ram: members of Portal... really cool sound. I have to be in the mood for it but i like this album of theirs


Midnight Odyssey: ambient black metal

Denny of Black Cauldron Ram/Martire/StarGazer/Johnny Touch/Denouncement Pyre/Mournful Congregation fame's new side project, maybe I've posted about this demo before, maybe not.

Killer old school heavy/USPM style stuff.
