I'm gonna listen to this very soon because it's entered my radar and it looks promising. This reco bumps it up the list.

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.

No weirder than Satanic doom metal bands (of which there are tons).

 

[SonOfNun]

At least Christianity and satanism are in the same spiritual cosmos so to speak, though it is definitely weird considering the lyrical themes with which the genre originated which contain a lot warnings against evil.

But then again I listen to Christian black metal so hey.

Check out Ogre for some kickass doom rock

 

[Krilons Resa]

^Indeed. They're all good but Plague Of The Planet is THE UBER.

 

[J.]

Yeah, that one has aged exceptionally well. I also dig Dawn of the Protoman a lot. The newest one is okay I guess. Needs more time

 

[Krilons Resa]

From what I've heard of the new one, it's not up to par.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I've soured on a lot of new doom metal recently. It's just so stagnant.

New Ogre is solid, but better than Neanderthal, imo. There are some great songs, but two stinkers (one a cover), unfortunately

 

[Krilons Resa]

So Opeth17, what are the bands you checked out and (and liked) so far?

 

[Ellestin]

This be my favorite doom methull record of the year. Deep, dark, psychic shit with much feeling

 

[Krilons Resa]

I’ll check that shit out later today.

This shit isn't teh DOOM.

 

[Ellestin]

Now I get why you became Undoomcifer

 

[Ellestin]

Mostly your observation is accurate though

NOTHING









































But not because y'alls recommendations are gay and lying. I just have a crap ton of stuff that I'm checking out right now so I haven't given proper listens.

 

[Ellestin]

Have these guys been mentioned already? Some of the tighest melacholic epic doom I heard in a while. If you can get past the name that is...

 

[Krilons Resa]

I can’t get past the name.
