Need help with 60's, 70's and early 80's doom

[Krilons Resa]

So the more you search the web for old doom, the more you realize that you're entering a world of collectors items. 7" EPs here, OOP LP's there, demos, rare CDs...it's like opening Pandora's Box, except when the money's tight, her box smells like tuna.

*ahem* That is sig worthy

By the way, another thing worth mentioning: lots and lots of rare doom collectors items seem to hail from Great Britain (at least on eBay). Is it me, or is there some logic behind that?

There is a site with all the releases of the glorius VERTIGO .. most of them come from G.B. (i forgot the url)

 

[JayKeeley]

BUMP...

I have now heard, listened to, understood, absorbed, and adopted "The Black Mass" by Pagan Altar and I am now officially Satan's bitch.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

hope you had fun

It really does feel like Volume 1 could have been written and recorded in 1972, not '82. It's pure tube amp and 8 track satan worship!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Now get "Lords Of Hypocrisy" which is better (less doom-y though)

 

[JayKeeley]

I have it!! Not heard it yet, but I don't know how it can be better....!

All thanks to Doomcifer for my PA fix. I'd love to get V1 on vinyl.

 

[Ayeka]

60s doom? Get on!

I'd like to know how Trapeze, Budgie and Deep Purple could be considered Doom as well

Really need to get my lazy ass round to getting some Blue Cheer...

BUDGIE woooooo

one of the quirkiest, most different bands ever.

I've been on a huge origin of heavy rock/heavy metal kick lately and would like to throw out some more recommendations if anyone might be interested:

These albums are all consistent for their timeframe:

High Tide - Sea Shanties 69
Flower Travellin Band - Satori 71
Jericho - s/t 72
Leslie West - Mountain 69
Andromeda - s/t 69

Flower Travellin Band - Satori 71

 

[neal]

High Tide - Sea Shanties 69

hell yes!

 

[KILL TULLY]

1349 - Pitch Black is a great example of an old, slow, traditional doom metal song. Especially the sludgey drumming.

yeah without having heard the song im going to go out on a limb here and say its probably a 3 minute, 270 bpm song of constant blasting :Smug:

 

[neal]

3:19 actually.

 

[MFJ]

I don't care what you want... what you really need is the Colour Haze s/t. Even if you had heard it or even own it, you just need to buy it again. You'll find happiness.

High Tide - Sea Shanties 69

This is the really UNBELIEVABLE album of the list. Its riffs are so H-E-A-V-Y and bombastic yet it was released in 1969. Riff power, violins, progressive arrangments and song structures, trippy as a nun girl tasting acid for the first time - the album has everything.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Damn, looks like I need to find that one. I'm excited.
