Doom Metal

[Mr. Bungle]

Never heard them, but sludge really isn't my kinda thing.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Is Place Of Skulls good and if so where should I start? I've never heard them, it's only the many connections (Trouble, Pentagram etc) that make me interested.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

You know, I never really cared much for Place of Skulls to be honest. If you haven't, you should check out Victor Griffins solo band though. Wino was in it as well. They only released one album, but it was killer.

i enjoy place of skulls, especially the last album, though some of the blatant christian lyrics (which i do not find offensive) are just plain bad.

if you want a more rocking doom band, get The Obsessed or the awesome Ogre.

MDB
MY DYING BRIDE
My Dying Bride...

 

[Krow]

Arent THAT great.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Yeah, they're okay, older stuff was better. Later albums are a bit too gothic, but still decent.

 

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

I can almost never bring myself to sit through even their early stuff. It's almost too sluggish and, while very evocative and moving when it's actually moving at all, a lot of the time it's just too much boringness for me. Much prefer something like diSEMBOWELMENT.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Winter, Asphyx, and more recently Hooded Menace is what death/doom should sound like IMO.

 

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

I couldn't get into Hooded Menace and Asphyx have way too many thrash parts to be considered "death/doom" canon (though I guess it is apt some of the time), but Winter is for sure good.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Yeah, Asphyx is a bit of a stretch, but they do have enough doomy sections to to almost justify the tag. Either way, killer band

 

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

The Rack has more doom than most of their other albums, I believe, but yeah, it's a stretch.

 

[skeptik]

Asphyx, as well as Autopsy, have always been considered death/doom.

 

[Krow]

Well then... Coffins and Moondark should be considered death/doom too right?

Both awesome stuff.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Coffins can be, I suppose. Never heard Moondark

 

[Krow]

Listen to The Shadowpath asap.

Some of the most devastating doomy death metal I've ever heard...

 

[CF87]

Old My Dying Bride owns. I do enjoy their newer stuff, great band.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Listen to The Shadowpath asap.

Some of the most devastating doomy death metal I've ever heard...

Getting it now.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Yeah, this pretty much rules...thanks man.

 

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

Asphyx, as well as Autopsy, have always been considered death/doom.

Autopsy I can agree on...something about Asphyx doesn't strike me as such. They kind of sit on a weird line where some of their songs are death/doom, some are much faster paced and thrashier, etc.
