Doom Metal

[Mort Divine]

Smile is a lot better than Pink personally.

 

[Alter]

NO WAY!

Pink is a fucking masterpiece.

Smile is still pretty fucking good. Its #1 on my top of 2008 and I sure it wont move. I love the randomness.

 

[Mort Divine]

Pink is good and all but it isn't even the best of Boris. It has nothing on Flood, Akuma No Uta, or Rainbow.

To be honest the Boris album I've listened to most of all recently is Sun Baked Snow Cave. It is such an excellent album. At first I thought Merzbow would ruin it but upon multiple listens I've come to love the entire composition. The noise is kind of - refreshing in a way.

 

[Alter]

Yea, Flood is my all time favorite album along with Turn On The Bright Lights, by, yes, Interpol. Flood is truly a perfect album. Its amazing how Boris can craft such simple yet effective albums.

Sun Baked Snow Cave is ok. I do like how intense it is but it lacks in the sense that it does not have any "moments" like Flood or Pink does.

Emissary records are now taking preorders for the new Reverend Bizarre vinyl.

I have a hard time believing that Drone should be allowed in a doom metal thread.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

It's a general doom thread. It's not restricted to one type of doom.

 

[skeptik]

But Drone isn't a type of Doom.

[Ender Rises]

Does he ever talk about anything else?

 

[skeptik]

He talks about how he finds classic Metal albums boring and how my taste is irrelevant because I allegedly only listen to Metal, but other than that, no, not really.

 

[Alter]

Does he ever talk about anything else?

Yup, a ton more. It just happens I really like those bands.

But Drone isn't a type of Doom.

...and you argue Mercyful Fate is not black metal?

Please explain why drone is not doom?

And for the last time I LIKE CLASSIC METAL ALBUMS BUT INRI IS NOT AN AMAZING RELEASE JUST OK!

 

[Zephyrus]

Dodens is actually the forum's strongest proponent for Mercyful Fate's status as black metal (He's right btw).

 

[Alter]

I think they are black metal also but he is fucking absurd to say that drone is not doom than. It is a direct evolution, or devolution, of the genre in its slowest form.

 

[Mort Divine]

Drone doom is doom. Drone itself, however, isn't. Sunn, Earth, Moonn, Boris, Melvins (they had a drone EP), and Black Boned Angel certainly are doom.

 

[skeptik]

Drone doom is doom. Drone itself, however, isn't.

.

Though those bands still suck.

 

[Mort Divine]

Oh you did not just say The Melvins suck

 

[Vilden]

Please explain why drone is not doom?

Drone is not doom because it has no doom riffs, no doom drums no doom vocals, no doom anything? Please explain what is doom about drone.

 

[vixTRON]

I don't think drone is doom necessarily. Drone as a genre has many roots laid in various other genres, doom being one of the major ones.

Drone is fucking awesome btw.
