Death/Doom

[Reign in Acai]

Jeff, have you checked out either Necare or Loss yet? Both rule.

I whole heartedly endorse this reco.

 

[J.]

i will check out all of these. especially since i havent heard or heard of the vast majority. hails

 

[J.]

do any of you still listen to Mar de Grises or Daylight Dies? curious.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Too busy discovering new music to go back. Though I would never consider parting with The Tatterdemalion Express, it's a simply phenomenal outing. Daylight Dies - No Reply was highly underwhelming. I can easily listened to ND and Swallow the Sun successfully accomplish this form of doom. Though I hear Dismantling Devotion is one hell of a release.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

FYI, fans of Conan the Barbarian might want to check out Keen of the Crow's 'Hyborea' album. Good stuff based on the character.

Thanks for the recos so far.

not to derail, since it's not death/doom, but isn't THE Conan album of the year done by Gates of Slumber? "Suffer no Guilt", "Riders of Doom"...although there's some Lovecraft and crusades stuff too.

Not sure if J would like Gates of Slumber.

I MUST HEAR THIS STUFF!!!

 

[JayKeeley]

Suffer no guilt
The iron time is here
The weak shall tremble
So let them die in fear
Be as a wolf
And let your jaws embrace
None can stand
None can meet your face

Suffer no guilt
Child of the hills
I'll count the dead
Valor your god wills
Breath my gift
From the moment of birth
And the will to thrive
In a world without mirth

Red is the wrath that blinds your sight
Axe meets skull in the press of the fight
Hyborians wither at barbarian rush
Drowning in blood let in the crush

Suffer no guilt
Eternally hack and slay
Hew them down
About you the dying lay
Cimmerian fury
No one can with stand
A vassal to none
Son of my misty land



that's like porn to you Frank, isn't it?

 

[JayKeeley]

that opening scene in Conan the Barbarian where Thulsa Doom rides in to destroy the village...

Iron hooves pound the ground
Iron riders from the north
Ice hearts full of hate
Cold touch the whim of fate

Swift come the dogs of war
Swift from the mouth of hell
Steel glints in their hands
Hard the will that drives it home

Oh the riders of doom
Vengeance and fire upon you soon
Oh the riders of doom
Bringers of death
Riders of doom

Wheel and charge in the smoke and flame
Hammer smashed face to spatter the brain
Running men die with an axe in the back
Dying men howl as they press the attack

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

awesome. I'll myspace them tomorrow when/if I wake up

I hate not having a band
I wanna write those lyrics!!!

 

[Draconian]

Desire from portugal

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

I need to pick up KotC's album still. I have their demo and it ruled me face

 

[Vilden]

Unholy's first two are great.

Also Ataraxie maybe?

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I need to pick up KotC's album still. I have their demo and it ruled me face

sucks that their guitarist went douche bag and they broke up. But the album rules.

 

[Ars Magna]

I just received The Morningside "The Wind, The Trees And The Shadows Of The Past". I haven't had time to give it any real attention but I had it on while doing email last night and it was quite good.

 

[J.]

best paradise lost album?

 

[Necromunchkin]

Fitting this description, Gothic.

Edit. Make that Shades of God

 

[Ars Magna]

best paradise lost album?

Depending on my mood, I am quite a fan of the first three. If I had to pick one, I'd say Shades of God but I think that's only because it has the most nostalgia tied to it for me.

Winter (US). Probably my favourite of the genre.

 

[J.]

Amid Its Hallowed Mirth is an exquisite example of doom/death. Just had to be said.
