...never heard Fungoid Stream but i will now cos thats a great name...

 

[entanglement]

Actually I own Monolithe I and II, and I wanna know which one of the above mentioned bands I should buy next... perferably something along the similar style?

Btw that list was given to me by a friend of mine... I wanna know the majority peoples opinion about these bands before I try them out...

Thanks.

 

[CAIRATH]

Esoteric at the top.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I have never listened to much funeral doom. Not my type of stuff.

 

[CF87]

Shape of Despair
Esoteric
Skepticism

I recently heard the first skepticism which sounded like a funeral IN HELL.

I have not heard any of the other bands on the list besdies these three. I'm more into traditional doom.

 

[Guthrum]

Mournful Congregation
Worship
Stabat Mater

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Elysian Blaze is funeral doom?

 

[Demilich]

I need waaaaay more of this genre! So far I have Mournful Congregation's latest, Thergothon's full-length, Esoteric's latest (which probably isn't even funeral doom) but I really fucking need to get Skepticism's Stormcrowfleet and Aes!

 

[Pessimism]

Tyranny is up there, so Wormphlegm should be too

Also try Wraith of the Ropes, The Ethereal, Mausoleum, and The Liquescent Horror
The Living Fields is pretty good too

 

[Erik]

where is THERGOTHON

 

[Demilich]

in that guy's avatar!

 

[Demilich]

that leaves Funeral and Worship for me to check out!

 

[Pessimism]

I always assume someone who is looking into Funeral Doom knows of Thergothon.

How the hell could someone not??

 

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

True.

Fungoid Stream are fantastic, but are halfway between ambient composition type stuff and funeral doom. Still, excellent band. I also recommend the side project Qhwertt, though I could never find the CD, just some d/ls on Audiostreet.

Try out Foetor too. Super obscure and awesome.

Esoteric's early stuff is funeral doom, but their new stuff is kinda not...

You might also like some Stijn Van Cauter projects...he's kinda drab at times, but I like Until Death Overtakes Me and Beyond Black Void...

 

[ohiogrinder]

Thergothon, Skepticism, and Evoken are the only ones I've heard.

I am currently downloading some Unholy and Esoteric as we speak.

 

[Demilich]

How the hell could someone not??

That'd probably be why they're still at the "looking into funeral doom" phase.

Mournful Congregation ftw.

 

[plaguewilder]

No one has mentioned Forgotten Tomb? Wierd. Songs to Leave is absolutely essential!

And Elysian Blaze is not doom.
