Slam

[GrayRain]

Alright, I know that there are tons of terrible bands that populate this genre, so I'm looking for the best albums to be found here. I love the super slow, heavier than hell "funeral slams" (as a side note, I think funeral slam death/doom would be a fucking awesome genre). Currently I'm digging:

In The End of Human Existence by Abominable Putridity (anything that sounds a lot like this is exactly what I'm looking for)
Beheading The Dead and Vaginal Saw Entorturement by Extirpating The Infected
Of course, the obligatory Molesting The Decapitated by Devourment

Thanks

I recommend you check out this thread: Brutal/Slam Death Metal

Lots of recommendations and discussion about exactly what you are looking for.

I've always considered this genre to be garbage, but, just for the hell of it, someone should post a couple of songs with these "funeral slams" you speak of.

Right around :30

That was fairly cool. I feel like I could get the same kind of doomy section but better from diSEMBOWELMENT's "The Tree Of Life And Death" though.

Slam isnt about 10 minute songs, maaaan.

Fair enough, being really doomy isn't what slam does

This is what I'm talking about. That's probably my favorite track on that album. Also been digging Vulvectomy lately. They merge some pretty technical drum work with heavy slams very successfully.

Check out Infernal Revulsion, Ezophagothomia, Putridity (Ita), and Katalepsy (Rus). You'll probably like at least a couple of those bands.

Forgot to mention Ezophagothomia, they're great as well. This song has another funeral slam in it:

Starts at 4:08.

I just downloaded some Putridity and listened to Infernal Revulsion on youtube, but I haven't seriously gotten into either yet. Gonna check out Katalepsy.
