Doom Metal

Cool, thanks guys. I'll definitely be checking them out now.

Most people here seem to like a handful of Funeral Doom albums and then simply write everything else off as redundant, which simply just isn't the case.

Esoteric, Ahab, 1000 funerals, Ataraxie, Doom:VS (first album), Pantheist, Remembrance, Nortt, Shape of Despair, Monolithe, Necare, Wormphlegm, just to mention are few, are all great bands which get overlooked far too often.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Stream From The Heavens is the best record ever to come out of Finland along with Nesphite.

If by overlooked you mean painfully average then I agree with you.

i'm gonna go with demigod

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I never saw the appeal in Mournful Congregation. Sounds pretty vapid and uninspired, I reckon.

Funeral--Tragedies. Some say they started "funeral" doom. I don't know but, Skepticism, Thergothen and Funeral set some standards. Another excellent band is Mar de Grises from Chile. Most refer to then as "progressive" doom, if their is such a thing. I have their disc The Tatterdemalion Express (debut) and it is awesome with superb production. Their new one is called Draining the Waterheart, and most doom folk love it.

skepticism is all you need for funeral doom. the rest just doesn't compare. Funeral got good with From These Wounds.

Esoteric is painfully average? What universe are you living in?

 

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

The Wormphlegm demo is hardly bad.

Esoteric are ok, not as great as most people make them out to be. But sure, maybe abit above average.

doom elitist!!

 

[Death and the Lament]

I'd say that Shape of Despair is my favourite. If you're gonna go doom, you might as well go all the way and go Funeral

got some doom elements as well as regular old heavy metal.

I like some doom metal... Electric Wizard is probably one of my favorite bands ever... Dopethrone and Let Us Prey caress my happy place quite a bit.

Other than that... I delve into the occasional death/doom (I primarily listen to death metal)

And... November's Doom, Swallow the Sun, My Dying Bride, and Katatonia's Brave Murder Day are some of my favorites. I also want to give a special mention to Acid Witch's first full length, Witchtanic Hellucinations. I cant help but whore it. It's an absolutely perfect trip into psych Death/Doom.

 

[Zephyrus]

Electric Wizard are my favorite non-trad Doom band.

 

[J.]

the few EW albums ive heard didnt do much for me. and ramesses is not good either.

Best Doom of 2009: Revelation - Release

Ereb Altor and Grand Magus deserve a mention.

 

[Einherjar86]

Electric Wizard are heavy as fuck, and totally awesome on top of that.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Yeah, I must admit I enjoy Electric Wizard quite a bit. Dopethrone is pretty close to a masterpiece.

 

[Tonka Time]

have yet to give electric wizard a listen, what would you guys recommend?
