DOOM!

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Cathedral - Forest of Equiliberium
Sleep - Dopesmoker

These are perfect bands to start with in doom and they're probably the best anyway.

If you browser the Rise Above records bands too, you cannot go wrong. Lee Dorian is such a god for many reasons.

How did you forget fucking Iron Monkey???

Come to think of it, how has nobody mentioned Iron Monkey?



Cos I couldn't find Supagorgonizer on youtube

Is it strange that I STILL find Electric Wizard boring?
I've checked them out on multiple occasions and always think that they're one of those bands where you think "Man, I really want to like this band....but can't". :erk:
That's just you being strange waaa. Electric Wizard are one of the greatest bands ever. They're definatly the heaviest ive ever heard.

Dire Straits are a band i know i should have heard but i never have propperly, so ill have a gander.
 
Dire Straits are awesome, also should check out Electric Light Orchestra if you haven't already, I love that band as well.

I don't know what you guys like in the way of "hardcore" kinda stuff, I know A Day To Remember aren't anywhere near real hardcore, but no doubt still won't be to people's tastes.

God I hate all these new hardcore/'post hardcore'/'deathcore' bands. They are all interchangable seriously. Whenever I've been to a band night where there are several hardcore bands on the bill (ie most band nights), they all sound EXACTLY the same, with their breakdowns that never end and american accent vocals that swap between clean Fall Out Boy singing and BMTH screams. God I hate them all.
 
As I said, TE is the best starting point because it's got more groove to it, much more of a thrash influence. EoV is just relentless is every aspect and traded out the groove influence in favour of more balls-out aggression, which worked perfectly. Both have their individual merits and they're the heaviest albums money can buy.

Time Bomb was, as I mentioned, not supposed to be a Demolition Hammer album. After Vinny Daze (R.I.P. you mad bastard) and James Reilly left the band in 1993 to form Deviate NY (they did a demo called 'Gallery of Death' in 1995), Derek and Steve got in Alex Marquez and wrote Time Bomb as a different band but Century Media refused to issue the album unless it was under the DH moniker, as they believed it would shift more copies. It's nothing like TE or EoV, it's a groove metal album through and through with only about four guitar solos on the whole record. It's still a brilliant album, but the fact that it has Demolition Hammer slapped on it kind of ruins it a little - there's nothing wrong with it really, so long as you bear in mind that it's a completely different band.

If you want a more in-depth analysis of Totured Existence and Epidemic of Violence, I've written reviews for them at www.brutalism.com so just look the up on there mate. Though to be fair, Demolition hammer were - and still are - so good that you shouldn't need convincing. Also, look up my review for James and Vinny's Deviate NY demo 'Gallery of Death' on Brutalism as well if you're thinking of checking that out.

EDIT: In fact, I'll save you the effort;

I'll have a review for Time Bomb up soon, probably sometime in Febuary. Let me know if there's anything else you need.


Thanks mate, I'm going to have to order EoV, I can't find anywhere to listen to it in decent quality on the net, I think I might order a builders hard hat as well, in an attempt to stop it crushing my skull with its heaviness, as you say, haha! Cheers for your help anyway Dave! :)
 
Someone give me suggestion of bands ooooof;
Black Metal

I know this is a little late, and I already gave you my recommendations but I just remembered a band which I can't believe I forgot to tell you about!!

Den Saakaldte - They're a Norwegian, slightly avant-garde black metal 'supergroup' featuring members of Shining, 1349 and Dødheimsgard, among others. They're the best black metal band around in my opinion. Definitely check them out if you haven't already! ...and I hope you like them or this post was kind of pointless haha

There' only one Bonded by Blood recordat present - 2008's "Feed the Beast" - and there's another one the way soon.

As for Death, you can't go wrong with any of them but I'd say go for The Sound of Perseverence and Spiritual Healing.
