Doom Metal

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Or you could go forward with The VIIth Coming.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

The best Cathedral is FOE, Soul Sacrifice EP, Ethereal Mirror, Cosmic Requiem EP and Carnival Bizarre.

They only get really good again on VIIth Coming, and the newest one is fucking awesome. Not as good as the best stuff, but really close.

 

[Rumpole]

I got The Ethereal Mirror from V5 a few days ago and it seems less accessible than The Carnival Bizarre. I need to get FoE next

If you think The Ethereal Mirror is inaccessible, then you probably won't like Forest of Equilibrium. No groove, just pure fucking doom metal.

Well, I've only given it one listen. I'll have a better opinion on it after a few more listens.

after FoE get Soul Sacrifice.

 

[BloodSword]

Esoteric is just fucking crushing. Another good"melodic doom band" is "Mourning Beloveth." And for all the MDB naysayers, you just can't ignore the relevance of "Turn Loose the Swans."an amzing album. Some of the best drumming ever by Rick Miah. A claustrophobic atmosphere, haunting with violin and piano. And those riffs, how could any metal listener not like this album. It makes no fuckin' sense to me , if you don't.

 

[Vilden]

IMO Turn Loose the Swans is kinda overrated. Sure it is not a bad album but As the Flower Withers is the essential MDB album in my world.

 

[Hypnos]

i like 'Turn Loose The Swans' much more than 'As The Flower Withers'

 

[ohiogrinder]

I like both equally

 

[Zephyrus]

Venom wrote "Black Metal".
Possessed wrote "Death Metal".


Has any band written a song called "Doom Metal"?

 

[ohiogrinder]

maybe I should, and a song called "Grindcore"

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Venom wrote "Black Metal".
Possessed wrote "Death Metal".


Has any band written a song called "Doom Metal"?

Well...maybe. But Sabbath wrote Hand Of Doom, which is widely considered the origin of the nomenclature of the genre.

Not that I know of, but you forgot the most important one:

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Epic Fail.

 

[Koehandel]

Witch hunting technical stoner death doom groove metal.

Oh, and am I the only one who finds Reverend Bizarre completely boring? I can listen to Electric Wizard, My Dying Bride...Sun O)))), but Reverend Bizarre just go on and on and on and on and on and on without anything to interest me.

I agree with you. I don't want to start a flame war or anything. But I find Reverend Bizarre boring. But do know I only seem play live once. But that concert sucked to hard so I never listened to their CD's

And lets stop calling any type of doom metal gay, there is only 1 gay metal band and that is Dragonforce.

 

[skeptik]

Listening to doom metal for the first time live isn't really a good idea.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Epic Fail.

It's different when you name your album Thrash Metal when the genre is long past its prime (not to mention the fact that the band is pretty shitty to begin with).

 

[skeptik]

Like Dismember's Death Metal album.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I've heard mixed opinions about that album but haven't heard it myself. How is it?

 

[Vilden]

I think Death Metal is an awsome album title. Mainly because I think it is the metal subgenre with the best name. It just feels and sounds so right when you say it.
The album rules too.
