DOOM METAL - the struggle continues?

So, any doomsters around? What do you think about the current state of the doom scene? True doomsters struggling under the massive weight of the gloomy funeral goths and happy-go-lucky stoners, Solstice breaking up to make way for Tyrant, Candlemass and Trouble arising once again, new bands joining the battle... I feel doom metal strengthening back to its early 80's and early 90's level. Does this happen every ten years?

For latest developments, check out information on Reverend Bizarre's debut album In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend here. I apologise for such crude commercialism, but I'm afraid there wouldn't be too much traffic there otherwise! Support your local underground, keep the traditional vein of doom metal alive, and FIGHT BACK!
