Traditional Doom Metal

[Krow]

He put out a new EP just in case you didn't already know.


.

Gave this a listen. Probably won’t pick it up though, it’s a little short to grab a cd from Australia.

Also, happy that I have the first three Forsaken albums coming my way from the UK. I’ve never heard Evermore or Anima Mundi in their entirety but I had a crappy rip of Dominaeon for years.

Really good, seemingly little known band. Pentateuch was a great album I’ve listened to quite a few times since 2017. I know Omni didn’t like it but his taste in doom metal was always lacking. (And After the Fall is awesome too)

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I thought it was solid but nothing that I'd really return to. Their other albums are great though.

 

[Krow]

Smoulder full length on Cruz del Sur in April.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yep. Gonna pull an Omni and mention how I knew about it months ago and have even heard the rough mix of the new album. Suck it.

 

[Krow]

Ha same deal with when Omni said it though, I don’t really give a fuck.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Despite it containing two demo songs re-recorded, the new tracks are fucking awesome. Especially that first song.

Stumbling across this, not really trad more like vintage/proto or something.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This is 100% traditional doom and fuck, it's awesome.

 

[Krow]

Cool deserty vibes. Not what I was expecting from the album art. Would buy a cd but it looks like wax only right now.

 

[Krow]

So Isole, I dont have Forevermore, Born from Shadows, and The Calm Hunter. Are these albums worth tracking down? They arent super readily available in the US so I'll be hitting discogs, probably in the $15-20 range each from overseas. I also need a non-promo copy of Bliss of Solitude.

Also if anyone has any of these they're looking to sell let me know.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I've actually never really gotten into that bad, so I'm sorry I can't contribute here, but what would you recommend that I start with?

 

[CiG]

Born from Shadows, and The Calm Hunter.

Their weakest but still quite good IMO. 7/10 territory stuff.

Forevermore

Absolutely worth tracking down, for me on par with Bliss of Solitude and Silent Ruins.

Throne of fucking Void, nigga.

Throne of Void is great too. I'm not super familiar with Bliss of Solitude because I'm annoyed the guy sent me a cheap ass cardboard slipcase promo without mentioning it.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Throne of Void is modern doom classic.

 

[Krow]

Got Forevermore from a guy in Greece. As a bonus he had a sealed copy of Spiritus Mortis - Fallen for super cheap.

New Candlemass is way fucking good.

 

[Krow]

My copy of the new Candlemass should be here Saturday. Will wait until it’s in hand.

So continuing my theme of snatching up doom metal full length discographies, I think Mirror of Deception is next on my list. Any albums super mandatory compared to the others?

Foregone and Shards are my personal favorites. A Smouldering Fire is quality, too.
