Doom Metal

So as I don't have to make a new thread, what's the best from My Dying Bride?

Turn Loose The Swans.

while we're at it, whats some good doom/death similar to early Katatonia and Paradise Lost?

I agree with Turn Lose the Swans though MDB have a pretty good back catalog, any of their earlier work is fairly solid. Doom Death similar to earlier Paradise Lost and Katatonia back when they did dirty vocals... well Anathema and My Dying Bride are the obvious ones given they were very influential in creating that style along with Paradise Lost but I am personally a huge fan of The Prophecy, I advise you check them out, brilliant stuff.

Get 'Turn Loose The Swans' like they said, but 'Songs of Darkness, Words of Light' is also excellent.

Tiamat - Wildhoney

Possibly my favourite Doom album, it is definetely up there. These guys have produced some later work worse then Metallica's but Wildhoney, A Deeper Kind of Slumber and to a lesser extent (using the above comparison, think Kill Em All and Justice), The Astral Sleep and Slumber. If you are a big fan of Opeth and have not heard Tiamat, kick yourself.

P.S Dont bother with their myspace, it does not have any of their earlier work on it.

Wormphlegm did the LP only thing, I was trying to get Redstream to see if they'd license it to them... but no dice

 

[Ancient Rabid One]

Not one mention of Pentagram. I'm speechless.

Whoops! Easy to over-look them for me. Pentegram and The Obsessed were the two top Doom bands in the DC erea in the late 70's - mid 80's and I like The Obsessed much more. I've met Victor Griffith several times in the mid 80's. He was a dismissive prick. In 2003 I met him again and he was a dismissive prick. I tend to dismiss dismissive pricks. Thirdly, If I want to hear Black Sabbath riffs and bit's of Black Sabbath leads, I'd rather listen to the real thing. But you are correct, they do deserve mention.

Shoot yourself

 

[False Dawn]

Estatic Fear

 

[AchrisK]

Paramaecium - Exhumed of the Earth is a killer doom/death release. Anyone heard it? Highly recommended.

 

[Rumpole]

Where is the best place to start with The Hidden Hand?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

ANY of the 3, but "Divine Propaganda" is their most straight forward/metal oriented, it even has some nwobhm touches. "Mother Teacher Destroyer" is their most experimental, and their latest (and best for me) balances the styles of the first two, while still introducing another face of the band.

Ok, thanks. I've seen a few copies of Whiskey Foote around, I might try and pick it up tomorrow.
