Doom Metal

[fates warning 666]

do i bother anyone?

 

[witchhunterni]

And what category does Cathedral fall under?

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.

 

[Rumpole]

Reverend Bizarre is infinitely better than My Dying Bride or Sunn O))) and a bit better than Electric Wizard. They are (were) by far one of the best modern doom bands.

 

[Vilden]

Oh, and am I the only one who finds Reverend Bizarre completely boring?

Yes.

 

[witchhunterni]

I dunno, maybe it was just their last album, but I was like 'Shit yeah, this is good' then 5 minutes later 'Shit yeah...there's not much happening.'

I'll go lie down in a hole now.

I love doom sub genre bickering, almost as much as I love the genre itself.

Favourites include... (in no order)

Mourning Beloveth
Evoken
Cathedral
High on Fire
WarIron

 

[ohiogrinder]

Not really. I don't have any qualms with you other than what I said before.

:Smokin:

 

[mydadisjewish]

Lately, I've been listening to Warning (UK), Burning Witch (US), Thorr's Hammer (US) and Electric Wizard. All very good doom.

Also, fans of Sleep need to check out the band OM.

 

[Jimm O)))]

I haven't really dug all that deep into the genre but what I've heard is great stuff. Didn't like the stuff at first. Thought it was WAY too slow. That was in the days when all I listened to was black metal, though. Some time later, I gave it another shot and still didn't think that much of it but decided to give it some time. Well, it payed off.

Anyways, some of my favorites:
Cathedral
Sunn O))) (yeah so they're drone-doom, whatever)
Electric Wizard
Weedeater
Asbestosdeath
Saint Vitus
Disembowlement
Esoteric
Goatsnake

listen to some death/doom and funeral doom and you'll be set. you already got sludge and trad doom down.

 

[Lunar Descent]

Hyponic is a funeral Doom band from Hong Kong. Good material.

 

[hibernal_dream]

What's everyone's opinion on Worship - Dooom? I got it after hearing it was the best funeral doom in years but can't get into it at all. I find it tedious and plodding.

 

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

New Fleshpress is awesome. "Omega Monolith" is one of the most repetitive (not slow!) songs I've ever heard!

 

[hibernal_dream]

Repetitive is a good thing? :0

 

[skeptik]

Not inherently, but it could be, Mr. "Please never play the same note twice."

 

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

Yeah, it can be awesome when it's the same lick and mid-paced driving drum beat playing for like 10 minutes straight with slight variation. It just makes it that much cooler when it ends. Makes you just go "...wow" because then you hear it in your head for a while too.

 

[S<issors]

^ this is why I never got all that into Electric Wizard.

 

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

Some EW isn't too repetitive, but a lot of black metal is also built on repetition of common chords/riffs within songs or even themes between songs.

 

[Matt]

Repetition, if used well, can be excellent.

Listening to SWALLOW THE FUCKING SUN nigs.

 

[Mort Divine]

Only StS worth hearing is their cover of Solitude with Sir Albert Witchfinder on vocals
