Finally, some modern Doom I can get behind.

This was a helpful thread. I think the best thing I found that I didn't know about yet is WELL OF SOULS. Love the Solitude Aeturnus vibes.

That band is from my area. The singer used to own Diamondhead Records, a few miles from where the girlfriend lives. Cool guy and cool shop. A shame it closed.
Im at work jamming to Blood Farmers. One of my doom faves

I guess he still sells some things online because I just bought the second WoS album off Diamondhead Records on eBay
Huh, I didn't realize they were from Houston. I guess it shouldn't take long to get here. I passed through your area the other day. I lived in a town south of Houston for four years and still come back regularly because I have family in the area.

What do y'all think of the most recent Penance album (The Road Revisited). There's only one song on Youtube.
Also, are there lyrics in the booklet for the Orodruin - Claw Tower... compilation?

Orodruin never really impressed me all that much. I did like the 3 Penance albums with Butch, though.

Thanks, I think I'll pick up the Penance since it's only $6. It has the same line-up as the first album. I did buy Orodruin - Epicurean Mass.

What is the difference in sound between the Revelation - S/T and Salvation's Answer? I've heard that the S/T is an unreleased first album, but it looks like all the songs are on SA. I like SA though so I'm intrigued. I haven't really gotten into them past the debut.
Are any of the Against Nature albums doom with up-tempo thrashy bits like early Revelation? I don't want too slow, too proggy, or too far outside of Doom Metal.

I like Revelation, but they are hit or miss. Past the second album, the band totally changed, then the original members reunited years later. Or something like that. The first two are their best stuff imo.
You will like Appease if you like SA. Thats about it

Yeah, seems hit or miss. I'm not even sold on the second album. I like some of the bits on the third more. I'll try Appease.
What the hell is this new Pale Divine? They added another vocalist and a whole bunch of NWOTHM and it's not why I'd ever listen to Pale Divine at all.

Against Nature was a weird beast. I actually think it featured the best material from that group of musicians. It's typically not my thing but the song writing was very intriguing, especially on Accumulus.
Other than a few songs, Pale Divine was never my thing. Their first few were good, not great.

One band I havent seen mentioned is Solstice. Definitely check out all their stuff.
and Ereb Altor's debut. After the second album, they jumped to black metal then a black/doom hybrid. It's all good stuff, though. The debut is pure viking doom, though.

The self titled just came out years later in a different track listing when SKR was releasing it. Tim of skr did the same thing with mystification by manilla road.
The self titled is their trouble inspired release and never comes silence & release are what make revelation the greatest doom band from the states. I'm a huge fan of yet so far as well but Brennan isn't on that album. Inner harbor is a bit too out there for me to love, but it's OK. For the sake of no one is a solid album as well.
And for against nature, I own all their releases and consider Brennan one of the best song writers. After Natural Blue they turn to a heavy rock style band which is also very good. I doubt you'll find any of their releases these days, the last 5-6 I have are direct CDRs from John himself back in the Hell ride forum days. But off memory, none of them are trouble influenced like the debut
He was also in a thrash band in the 80s called Have mercy that has a solid compilation album from their demos and from time to time releases music from the band Whetstone on bandcamp

I think Cemetery Earth is a killer album and I like the next couple. The new one just seems like a drastic change in sound and I don't get it. Might as well be a new band.
I honestly don't get the viking doom thing. It seems like a bizarre combination. I do have an interest in checking out Solstice's Lamentations though.
I was wondering if you would pop up here. I've been reading through the Trad Doom thread on GMD and I've posted a lot about Doom in this forum.
I haven't listened to Revelation enough to judge their discography, but I like the first and third the most so far. I think they are the most immediate anyway.
I was able to find the old, defunct Bland Hand Records website on archive.org where they were offering their releases as free legal downloads. I'll take a listen to the S/T off of there. The bits I heard so far sound good. It looks like the links to almost all of the songs on Appease are broken though.
I've heard of Have Mercy. I'll have to look into them.

Revelation's Brennan ran Bland Hand records so that's direct from the source. https://holabird.bandcamp.com/ That's what John runs and makes on bandcamp these days, not sure he's put anything out in awhile though
If you like Warning's Watching from a Distance, Release should really resonate

Yeah, I wish that website was still up because I want to download those live performances, etc. and most of the links weren't archived.
I recently ordered the first Warning, but I'm not gonna get invested in Watching From a Distance because if it's good it's going to annoy me that it's super expensive and hard to find.
I just ordered the most recent Pallbearer because I needed another item to get free shipping. Hope it's not gay.

Just Bathory's Hammerheart slowed down with better vocals. Ereb Altor is just the Isole guys, another trad doom band

I guess what I mean is that Doom is so steeped in Christian themes (or alternately in Occultism) that it seems weird to hear a Doom song about Odin and Norse mythology. It's not like these crossovers don't happen all the time though. I've put Solstice, Isole, Ereb Altor, and Scald on my list to investigate.
