Doom Metal

[Mr. Bungle]

hey fags. I need some doom.
More of the death/doom type stuff.

Try Hooded Menace, great death/doom.

Cannot get enough of Pagan Altar's Volume 1 lately. Any thoughts on their other albums? Worth checking out?

 

[no country for old wainds]

YES

although vol 1 is the best imo.

 

[Vilden]

All of their albums are top notch but yeah Volume 1 is the best of the lot.

 

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

I often find myself having internal preference battles between the smoky, hazy, ritualistic excellence of Volume 1 and the folky, passionate clamor and overall excellent ideas and compositions of Mythical & Magical.

 

[J.]

i actually prefer Lords of Hypocrisy

 

[no country for old wainds]

they're all outstanding.

 

[Crapples]

Good to know. Suppose I'll be checking them all out then.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Yes, no Pagan Altar is bad Pagan Altar.

 

[Actumen]

I'm on a huge Cathedral binge right now. Lee Dorian is pretty much the best. I'm torn between his greatest moments being "HUGGY BEAR, OH YEAH!" in Utopian Blaster and "OOOOOOhhhh CAN YA FEEL THE GROOVE!" in Midnight Mountain, though. Thoughts?

That Hammer Of Doom lineup is beyond ridiculous(ly good).

 

[no country for old wainds]

it's disturbing and upsetting.

I often find myself having internal preference battles between the smoky, hazy, ritualistic excellence of Volume 1 and the folky, passionate clamor and overall excellent ideas and compositions of Mythical & Magical.

I'm in the same boat. Lords of Hypocrisy is fine, but those two stand above it.

 

[skeptik]

I disagree, I think Mythical and Magical is clearly a notch below the first two. And yet Mythical and Magical would be a swansong for most bands, so that's not a particularly strong criticism.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I like all 3 quite a bit, but Volume 1 has the edge for me.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I've been spinning Dawn of Winter's-The Peaceful Dead a lot recently, I think it's a great album.

 

[Rumpole]

Good music and riffs, but I don't particularly like the vocals.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

They needed time to grow on me, but they did eventually.

Anybody that likes Kongh?? Pretty hard to find their two albums, I've only seen them in Swedish stores :S

Anyway I'm not a big fan of doom, but they are an exception (tho it could be argued they are more sludge than doom, meh)
