so your saying it's all up to opinion, then? Interesting...
You proved my point yet again. Thank you.
You proved my point yet again. Thank you.
i explained through the whole thread why i think funeral "doom" is not doom, you are just saying "you are wrong bla bla" "it has that emotions bla bla" "yes funeral is DOOM, you dont understand it" while not proving what common element funeral "doom" has with the whole of Doom metal music.Candlemass (who suck by the way)

what sacred doom bible said that doom has to be like this ? you too name some feelings and call whoever has them doom, hundrends non doom bands can make you feel depressed , by your logic TOM WAITS (if you have ever heard of him) is the ultimate DOOM artist. Joy Division too.While Heaven Wept have the candlemass vibe, which is almost the same, you see some bands are linked sabbath > candlemass> my dying bride (for example)..in funeral "doom" the link is gone.how often does traditional doom make you feel somewhat depresed? the answer is never, b/c most trad. doom is cheesy and boring.
NOONE can judge that doom "has to be depressing" and make this the standard of all DOOM. You said in a previous post that most traditional doom is boring, this is like saying that all major doom bands who established the gengre are boring, because they were all trad. DOOM. The FEELING and ATMOSPHERE that was created by the old major doom bands passes through the riffing link mainly to ALL other doom bands (death, sludge,epic) EXCEPT FUNERAL, i said it so many times ALL subgengres of doom have a common LINK on their FEELING , EXCEPT FUNERAL "DOOM" , just listen to it. You can listen to Sabbath, Pentagram, ST Vitus to ALL DOOM GENGRES, except the so called funeral "doom" , thats a F A C T . Reverend Bizzare and Mourning Beloveth play different kinds of DOOM, but they have MANY SIMILARITIES in their SOUND and FEELING.funeral bands are outsite of it.MightyDrynwhyl said:you totally misinterpreted what i said. there is no sacred doom bible, but doom metal is in fact supposed to be depressing, thats the point, to create a "doom" atmosphere, most trad. doom isnt though and a lot of it is cheesy, just look at Cold Mourning, great band, but cheesy as fucking hell. being directly related to sabbath or candlemass does not make a band doom, Nile has fucking Candlemass riffs up the ass and they arent doom. you also forgot to mention the fact that St. Vitus was out before Candlemass. and no i dont think doom was invented in the 90s, i listen to ALL doom, which includes funeral, drone, and black. when the hell did i ever say the major and grand doom bands are boring? last time i checked the biggest doom band is My Dying Bride, who are my favorite(who are NOT a fucking gothic band!). i love candlemass and other trad. doom bands but most trad/stoner doom bands are border-line hard rock, just look at Sleep and Yob.
funeral doom is doom, whats wrong with playing that slow? let me say this clearly, if you claim to be a fan of doom metal and you say something is too slow, you are in FACT a poser. i take it you never even bothered to listen to any other funeral doom band than Skepticism as well since they seem to be your only funeral doom reference. get your facts right buddy and maybe take a little trip to the doom-metal.com homepage, you might learn a thing or two.
see you are naming feelings as the essence of doom , WHO TOLD THAT EMPTINESS HAS TO BE THE MARK OF DOOM .. when i say FEELINGS i mean various as a wholeemptiness sure as hell is apart of a doomy atmosphere
also that EMPTINESS THING is on MANY MANY MANY NON DOOM bands (ever heard of Joy Division?) non METAL too, it doesnt need riffs..absence of riffs = absence of feeling
so MY DYING BRIDE dont have "EMPTINESS"? or do tHEY?death/doom usually is focused more on the oppressive and hateful feelings
see you are saying crap, i could name 64564654 traditional doom songs talking about your "EMPTINESS" or "HATE" ... dont try to name a gengre by its feelings.trad. doom is based on more epic feelings, like struggle between good/evil or more magical sides of a person
