Traditional Doom Metal

[Master_Yoda77]

Their first album was the one I remember being best. I should revisit.

 

[CiG]

cough (vitus worship)

Really? You better not be foolin.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i was exaggerating by calling it worship but there's quite a strong influence there at times, at least to these ears. granted i haven't heard their previous stuff except distantly their debut, haven't heard anyone else say that and i'm not much of a sludgehead so maybe ignore me lol. i'd check it out either way, it's good shit.

 

[CiG]

I'm just thinking, I never liked Cough but Saint Vitus are my shit, so maybe I should give it a listen.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'm relistening and ya i probs overstated it, but i still like it.



give this tune a try if ya get the chance.

 

[CiG]

I can kinda hear it. My problem with these bands is that whole distant sounding vocal style with tons of echo. God knows bands ripping off bands is not really something that bothers me, but why did it have to be Electric Wizard and Sleep that gets ripped off the most in doom?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Yeah Faustcoven immediately sprang to mind. Underrated band. Rising From Below the Earth and Hellfire and Funeral Bells are so good.

Well, it's not exactly what I'm looking for, but it's not too shabby either, as I rather liked the Faustcoven song that appeared in the Alcohol playlist as I recall.

What I had in mind was something reminiscent of Dance of December Souls, but leaning more towards traditional doom metal.

 

[rms]

not the best for doom, but the heavy rock legends oh em geeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[CiG]

Holy shit.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I saw that when it was announced. Definitely thinking about making a trip out there next summer!

 

[rms]

The Atomic Bitchwax is OK to listen too, nice guitar work...Wo Fat on the other hand sounded terrible...

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Captain Beyond, The Skull, Bang, Apostle of Solitude, Iron Man, Beezlefuzz, Wretch, Demon Eye, and Brimstone Coven have me pretty much sold. The other bands I've either never heard of or just don't care for but there is nothing on there that I actively dislike.

 

[CiG]

I like Pilgrim.

 

[rms]

all them shitty openers at the wisconsin fest made me really want to have a car to do something during the day

 

[Master_Yoda77]

That's because you're an asshole.

 

[rms]

they were bad and you know it <3

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Not all of them, but the southern metal/doom bands are kind of atrocious, yes.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'm so fucking excited.

 

[Krow]

I'm so fucking excited.

His voice sounds different here than on the previous album if I'm remembering correctly. Sounds like he's taking the Primordial approach but a bit more upbeat. I liked that a lot.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, but I do hear him trying to do that Ozzy thing a little in the song still. I really dig it regardless. That first riff is absolutely wonderful.
