The Doom Metal thread

Worship pwns. Mournful Congregation > Worship though.

how can you say that? Worship clearly influenced Mournful Congregation.

 

[entanglement]

I wasn't aware of that, actually. My opinion is simply based on preference though.

 

[Life Sucks]

how about Mournful Congregation?

They are a good band. I've heard one of their CDs, and I like it a lot.

 

[CF87]

I want some doom even more downcast and depressing than Mourning Beloveth. Does something like that exist?

The only thing I can of is Evoken-embrace the emptiness and quietus, but you have probably heard these.

 

[Life Sucks]

Yes, I have heard them. I like Embrace the Emptiness and Quietus, but I can't get into Antithesis of Light for some reason.

I can not really get into it either. I don't think it sucks but it is more of something that just did not click with me. There is some past Evoken elements that are just not even there period.

 

[felidae]

anyone got trad doom recommendations for me?

I like/know already of:

Candlemass
Black Sabbath
Burning Saviours
Candlemass
Pentagram
Saint Vitus
Pagan Altar
Witchfinder General

I´m stubborn and nagging. Once again I say KRUX and especially the latest one simply called Krux ll. Peter Stjärnvind (Entombed) on drums, Leif Edling, Jörgen Sandström, Mats Lev´en, Calle Westholm, Fredrik Åkesson. (Talisman, Candlemass.) Much better and more interesting than Candlemass!

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

Oh yeah, I forgot all about the correlation between being able to detect obvious sarcasm and the desire to fondle pillows, thanks for reminding me there chief.

you learn something new everyday...

 

[EmbraceTheDeath]

Dax Riggs sounds like Scott Stapp of Creed. I think I'll pass...

I don't think all clean vocals are bad...I like the nasally vocals of Pagan Altar. now those are good clean vocals!

Dax Riggs sounds nothing like Scott Stapp. Listen to any of Dax's clean vocal songs(Scream of the Butterfly, Bleed Me an Ocean to name a few) and you can tell that hes completely different from Scott. I'm ok with you not liking Acid Bath, just comparing Scott Stapp to Dax is a sin.

btw, Acid Bath has the best lyrics..ever

I just don't like them. cheesy 5th grade level poetry coupled with "nu-rockisms" diluting the NOLA sludge sound.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Much better and more interesting than Candlemass!

If you said that for Abstrakt Algebra, or Memento Mori maybe i'd justify you, but now...you are just wrong. I do agree on the fact that Krux II is a kickass album of course.

 

[InfernoxDeath]

I suck at Doom Metal knowledge... bUT i do enjoy Swallow The Sun alot...

MINOTAURI should do you good... "If you love old school doom metal in the 80's Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Pagan Altar mode, then Minotauri are a band that brings that Finnish touch to it." (http://www.hellridemusic.com)
Their last album (simply titled as "II") will be released in May.

 

[AceRoccola]

Anyone heard Gnaw Their Tongues?

Kind of an Avant Garde Black Funeral Doom...thing. The atmosphere has a quality similar to Axis of Perdition's ambient/noise excursions. I'm still trying to figure out whether or not it's too ridiculous.

 

[Rumpole]

I'm listening to it now for the first time, and I'd agree, it's not an "easy" album to digest.

Their singer reminds me of a vampire Good band.

Warning

I've said it before, and I'll damn well say it again: "Footprints" is one manlove-inducing, showstopping, asskicking song

Can't wait for Evil Legend to stock this album!

 

[Mr_Haze]

Why, because the production was done by Iommi?

Well, according to Metal Archives he plays on a couple of tracks as well. It is more upbeat however. Some songs are worth a listen, reminds me of Night Sun without the heavy use of organ...

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Are you talking about Necromandus? Awesome stuff, at times very jazzy, but overall, good dark, proggy "downer" rock.
