Funeral Doom

[MetalNations]

Any recommendations of bands? I only have a few CDs in that style.

Skepticism is the greatest funeral doom band. Also you should trty to get Thergothon's one and only album. BAD production, but amazing music.

SKEPTICISM!
Thergothon
Mournful Congregation
Asunder's new one

those two are both fucking fanstastic.

There is other bands, but they really lose their sense of heaviness after a few listens, like Wreck of the Hesperus, Worship, Ataraxie, and Wormphlegm. They are good, but I nothing that I would go back and listen to over and over.

 

[Guthrum]

I'll second Thergothon, Mournful Congregation, Asunder, and Worship. And I'll add Stabat Mater.

Shape of Despair (Finland):

Some people like Shape of Despair, and many don't. I think some of their songs are awesome, but in general the sound is too produced (at least on the latest album or two). The vocals have so many effects on them to sound evil that it's just lame at times. Very slow and symphonic, great crushing guitar guitar tone. Some folky influences at times.

edit: oh fuck yeah, definitely WORSHIP.

Skepticism is really the only one you need.

Im not sure about early Funeral, but word on the street is that their latest one is awesome.

Oh yes. I have all of their CDs. Damn Good.

The latest Funeral is so good I weep just thinking about it. I gave JayKeeley a copy, but he's a queer and hasn't listened to it yet. UM has an excellent review of it by one of our new writers. He's a very honest, straight shooting type of writer, so his opinion is usually negative unless the CD is top notch.

I'm personally not very familiar with the genre in question, but I belive Evoken's Quietus deserves a mention; not as good as eg Mournful Congregation, but still quality.

It's really true. No album that has anything to do with "doom" in general will ever come close to Stormcrowfleet if you ask me.

 

[Demilich]

Black Sabbath?

 

[MFJ]

Black Sabbath?

sorry, if i had to compare the two I would go with Stormcrowfleet. but still, they are so different that no one should ever have to compare them!

 

[Demilich]

you crazy

I think he may have been joking?

I hope.

I am drunk.

 

[Peachy]

Antithesis of Light and Quietus by Evoken. Two of my favorite albums ever.

also check out Ahab or Pantheist.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

i personally have massive amounts man love for Esoteric, all other mentioned are great ones too.

 

[NAD]

I still don't own Stormcrowfleet because I exhibit overt homosexual tendencies.

EDIT: Thank you, Redstream.

yeah... i was going to say, better head to Redstream.

 

[Demilich]

Now that I've had Stormcrowfleet for a while and absorbed its awesomeness, I want Aes. That EP is pretty damn great.

 

[Draconian]

Doom:VS is pretty cool funeral doom
