Novice at the Gates of Doom

[Life Sucks]

I didn't even know what was a Newbury Comix in Newton. That is close to where I live (Brighton). I might check it out sometime soon.

Yeah it's on Needham street. There's also one in Saugus next to the Square One mall.

Am I the only one that thinks that genres like death/doom, drone doom, funeral doom, etc. aren't really doom? I think they should be filed under another genre, personally.

yes. if its slow and suffocating, its doom.

 

[Astrum]

Candlemass-Candlemass
Candlemass-Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Cathedral-Caravan Beyond Redemption
Count Raven-Destruction Of The Void

These are my favorites.

 

[Zephyrus]

Yeah I bought Candlemass today. Messiah's vocals are about as high as I can tolerate at this point when it comes to cleans.

 

[Astrum]

The vocals on Epicus Doomicus Metallicus are so much better. Try Nightfall as well, that's a good 'un.

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm listening to Count Raven on myspace. Sounds great. You could swear that's Ozzy on vocals.
I looked for this band in the stores today but couldn't find them, but I'll consider them for an internet order.

 

[Astrum]

Yep, they are full of awesomeness. Saint Vitus is a good choice for early, really really slow, rock-ish doom.

 

[LivingCadaver]

you should check out:

Sleep
Bongzilla
Warhorse
KYUSS
Orange Goblin
Goatsnake
YOB

those are stoner but stoner and trad have some similarities.

Yes. I like the original vocalist better than Messiah Marcolin, who sounds like he should be in a power metal band. The first Candlemass CD is the best.

PPPLLLEEEAASEE LET ME DIE IN SOLITUDE!!!!!!!!

 

[Life Sucks]

The first Candlemass and the first Solstice are the only trad doom that is actually gloomy, like I think doom should be.

I don't think you've heard many Doom bands then. What other bands have you heard that you didn't find to be particularly depressive? Oh yeah, you HAVE to check out Warning, I definitely think you would like it. There's one track available as www.myspace.com/isentorr.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Abdullah
Place of Skulls
Spirit Caravan
Voodooshock
The Gates of Slumber
Minotauri
Count Raven
While Heaven Wept
Trouble
Doomshine
Doomsword
Burning Saviours
Thee Plague of Gentlemen
Burning Witch

+ All that was already mentioned

Well, Black Sabbath and similar stuff is far from depressive, and that accounts for a lot of trad doom.

 

[Alongside Death]

Sleep
Ahab
Tyranny
Mythoogical Cold Towers
Minsk

 

[skeptik]

You don't fucking listen, do you?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

True doom is a genre I've always been very ambivalent about. On one side, there are bands that kick so much ass it is simply unbelievable, such as the following:

Black Sabbath
Candlemass
Solitude Aeturnus
Reverend Bizarre
Fall of the Idols
Warning
Doomsword
Pentagram

But then, there are bands that strike me as so bland and uninteresting, I can't understand for the life of me why anyone would listen to them, such as the following:

Count Raven
Minotauri
Revelation
Isole

And probably a few more, whose names have fled from me, thankfully. bah, so strange, seeing as some of those bands are supposed to be very good, but I just can't see it...

 

[CAIRATH]

Doesn't that pretty much apply to every genre?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I am normally able to at least comprehend what people find appealing in the genre's leading classics...

 

[Alongside Death]

You don't fucking listen, do you?

Me? Or this was to Life Sucks?
