I listened to two recent Death/Doom albums, Spectral Voice - Eroded Corridors of Unbeing and Mother of Graves - Where the Shadows Adorn, and they helped clarify where I stand on the sub-genre. The former is the kind that is a plodding collection of slow, heavy riffs punctuated with some dissonant chords and occasional blasting that I find rather boring and the latter is the kind that has melodic riffs, usage of other instruments such as keyboards, and a beautiful, melancholic atmosphere that I enjoy.

Mother of Graves are an Indianapolis band, so it gives me pride to see something like that coming from the local music scene here. I tend more towards melancholic atmosphere in death-doom metal, but I also like when it's crushing and ominous, so the former album is one I should check out.

It's too bad I didn't get to see this band opening for Candlemass back in April, as she had to drop out.

I'm OK with it to some degree but it can get monotonous fast. I really struggled to enjoy the first Paramaecium album for a long time but it has some occasional violin or female vocals. The follow-up album was much better suited to me with a greater emphasis on clean vocals, wider variety of instruments (harpsichord!), and melodic guitar parts. Within the Ancient Forest is an underrated gem of Death/Doom.
