A new friend of mine has recently started converting me from rap to metal. So far I have found I like alot of the slower paced songs. For example...
Metallica - unforgiven 1 & 2, nothing else matters, sanitarium, no leaf clover
Shinedown - beyond the sun
Mudvayne - happy, goodbye
.... there are a bunch others but I am looking for more songs similar to the mood of these. Anyone?
Could just be guy, that unlikely as it is, you're a proto Doom metaller, waiting to be unleashed. I know, I know, you're thinking "what is the old guy talking about? What's Doom metal?". I won't even attempt to try and define Doom metal for fear of sparking another 12 page thread which will inevitably steer around to Hitler, cod-Philosophy or the merits of which obscure Viking band RuLz or SUXXXXOOOORRRRZZZZZZZ!!!!!!11111.
However.
THe following are some bands, which you may be able to buy from a local shop, or even download, if you feel like a p2p using thief:
BLACK SABBATH (The originators of metal, and slow by todays standards).
CANDLEMASS (Also slow, with a classic, epic true metal edge).
CATHEDRAL (Depending on what album you get, you might get disco-doom, grim funeral doom or modern, 4th wave doom. A great band though, to be sure).
ANATHEMA - try anything through The Silent Engima to Judgement.
MY DYING BRIDE - From doom/death to the more modern despairing doom.
I'm not saying you will like them, but if you don't, there's no end to the bog-standard rap you could always crawl back to.
