I own Pantheist's "O Solitude". I admit to not listening to it near enough, though. Haven't heard of Tyranny.
JayK, Erik will probably be able to tell you more bands than I would, since he is responsible for introducing me to this sub-genre. But the ones I own are:
Skepticism
Evoken (more doom/death, but still damn slow)
Esoteric (on par with SKepticism IMO)
Thergothon (Erik's favorite)
Unholy (don't know if they're funeral doom, but they're really good nonetheless)
dISEMBOWELMENT (supposedly grind. but this is played so damn slow, it's Funeral doom)
Ones I'm checking out: Hierophant, Until Death Overtakes Me, Catacombs

the best source for this kind of music is definitely www.doom-metal.com. plenty of reviews, tons of info in the discussion boards, and everyone tells you where everything can be found. i never knew there were so many underground doom distros!

Doom is by far the greatest genre name ever.
I'm just now getting familiar with doom, perhaps I'll go apeshit sometime this year and buy a bunch of appropriate albums.

Doom rules. If not for Funeral doom, I would have thought bands like Morgion (who is great), My Dying Bride (average), and Anathema (bit above average) were it. Terrorizer never mentions any funeral doom bands, and Unrestrained rarely gives them press, which is one reason I'm done with magazines.
Anyway, Funeral Doom bands make bands like MDB, Anathema, and Paradise Lost look like all smiles and happy to be alive.

Actually, I think Skepticism are my favourites... Even if I introduced you to FD it seems you've gotten deep into the genre very quickly and you have more Funeral Doom records than me already (but I have the Skepticism demo tape, hah!Dreamlord said:
)Unholy is on the verge of being funeral doom. It's not painfully slow or dark like Esoteric but it's certainly more extreme than My Dying Bride and co. Evoken's first one is pretty fast at times but "Quietus" is funeral doom I'd say. "Quietus" and "Embrace the Emptiness" are great, great albums. Pantheïst I've heard a bit and I will probably buy some albums by them eventually as they sound really good.
My absolute favourites are Skepticism "Stormcrowfleet" and "Aes" and Thergothon "Stream From the Heavens." These are good starting points for the genre and extremely, extremely good.
www.doom-metal.com is a good resource.
Dreamlord: Going even deeper, you might want to check out Nortt, Danish funeral doom with some black metal influences and Worship. I've never heard Worship, but they're worshipped (HA HA) by a lot of funeral doom aficionados.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for melancholy, sometimes for absolutely catatonic, apathetic stare-at-a-brick-wall audial torment. Neither is happy.Dreamlord said:
Early Anathema is godly.
I'll check out Nortt. I would buy some Worship, but everything they've released is either a demo tape or on 7" vinyl, and I don't have a record player.Erik said:
Another band that is supposedly very influential is Funeral. Of course, they split, and their stuff is extremely hard to find, and goes for around $50 on eBay.
It's weird, a lot of funeral doom releases are rare as hell. I've just been lucky with some trades.
Another funeral doom band I'm looking into is Mul. This is a band from a member of the SSMT forum, and he's only in his teens, and te songs are quite good. He has a homepage with all songs on mp3. I believe www.doom-metal.com has the link and info on the band.

fuck melodic black metal
I don't like it. I don't dislike it either, I just find it too boring to sit and listen to, and what I've heard is a Thergothon album Erik forced me to borrow. That's what I have to contribute to this discussion.

Not really weird... I'm prepared to claim that Funeral Doom is the least understood and most obscure of all metal subgenres.Dreamlord said:
Yes, I've heard Mul. Can't remember how good "they" were, OK I suppose. I have a funeral doom solo project in the planning stages. Just you wait, heh.
Well, yeah, I guess you could look at it that way. I mean who wants to feel like committing suicide all the time? ha...
And like Sorath pointed out, it's too damn slow for the short attention span folks.

By Skepticism, right? I think I have that somewhere on my computer, but I don't recall listening to it. I'll try and remember to hear that soon (I have a huge pile of CDs I havn't listened to, and within that pile are CDs I have listened to but don't know well/well enough. I should just pull a NAD/Erik and stop being a greedy bastard).
