Funeral Doom Bands

[Erik]

Would y'all (for the Americans among us) consider Cathedrals Forest of Equilibrium to be funeral doom.

No, but it's probably THE most important album in the development of doom death & funeral doom so it gets a honorable mention

 

[Erik]

What is it then? Seems pretty doomy to me.....

Some sort of Dolorian/Katatonia/Bethlehem ripoff hybrid

I'd sooner call it "dark metal", as poor of a tag as that is

 

[Erik]

Still beats all the albums here though

You're neglecting the fact that you haven't HEARD all the albums here

 

[Carcassian]

Paradise Lost-lost paradise(almost as good as the above)
Candlemass-epicus........... i will fuck the tittle up

fyi Shades of God>icon>gothic>draconian times>lost paradise>everything else they've done

 

[Erik]

"Lost Paradise" is mostly really mediocre death metal

P.S. is there some deep artistic reason why are all leads are off key on Shades of God or are they just being gay

It's deeply artistic. Rly.

Plus, at that point, Gregor (who from memory played all the leads) was doing his own thing. I like them as they are.

I'm not saying lost paradise is there best album. Lost Paradise is one of the best albums for the style imo.

Lost Paradise musically is doom metal with death metal vocals. Paradise Lost pretty much started doom/death and also gothic doom metal with the release off 'gothic'. You can't write of lost paradise because no one did something like that before.

The leads on shades of good sound find to me. Gregory Mackintosh has great feeling and atmosphere to his playing imo. He's the only one in PL that writes music so I guess it can't be to bad!

... on a side note how is Rapture 'futile' ?. I have heard rapture sound like a mix between older katatonia and opeth.

Paradise Lost pretty much started doom/death

Sure "Frozen Illusion" demo was fucking grim for the time but WINTER and diSEMBOWELMENT among others deserve at least as much credit (plus early ANATHEMA and MY DYING BRIDE EP's and demos were always more doom than PARADISE LOST ever was anyway)

It's more like a mix of older KATATONIA and older KATATONIA, I don't hear any OPETH in it

Decent album, but "Songs for the Withering" is better... It's basically "Brave Murder Day" style riffing gone pop, catchy like "Draconian Times" or something

Yeah and you can say what you want about the "Shades of God" leads but the FACT is that that album is off key a LOT

Ghey.

 

[Susperia]

The guy in the coffin looks like Ville Valo.

 

[Carcassian]

Little known fact: it's screech from Saved by the Bell

 

[CF87]

I can't stop laughing

 

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

Empire of the Fallen

Yes.

I just checked M-A for spelling (it's Doomvs apparently...idfk though, whatever)...there's a new Doomvs (I went there!) out this year on Firedoom...

 

[Thasis]
