Traditional Doom Metal

[The Ozzman]

Your top priorities are Nightfall and Tales Of Creation.

rgr that. Will engage once I finish my numerous transactions with audiophileguy

I think Ancient Dreams is slightly better than ToC.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Fucking love doom metal. Been listening to a lot as of late. Black Sabbath, Pentagtram, Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Cathedral, Witchfinder General, The Obsessed, Upsidedown Cross. All awesome. It's becomming my favorite genre.

I only listened to Tales of Creation twice so far, and the one thing I don't like about it is that Messiah's vocals are a bit too far back in the mix, which makes the music less engaging, imo. Also, the songs don't really stand out, outside of the familiar Under the Oak which is great. Hmm, I was expecting Nightfall number 2, and ToC is not quite it. I should probably just listen to it more.

Solitude Aeturnus is traditional doom metal, right? I saw Through the Darkest Hour at a store the other day. Should I get it?

 

[Lord Kur]

LOL Upsidedown Cross,now there's a name i have'nt heard in fucking ages

 

[Lord Kur]

yeah you listed the songs

Paranoid, Children of the Grave, Electric Funeral, TV Crimes, Neon Knights, Iron Man, Lady Evil, Die Young, and Lawmaker

i have no idea how someone could just decide to like that random mishmash of sabbath songs. to each his own, i guess.

 

[Lord Kur]

your taste is completely random.

 

[DarkBliss]

leave him alone already

 

[Lord Kur]

i wasn't being mean or anything. just trying to figure him out

 

[Lord Kur]

maybe you would like rigor sardonicous

I think Ancient Dreams is slightly better than ToC.

I think Ancient Dreams is by far the weakest of the first four albums. Some of the songs are unnecessarily long and don't really go anywhere, but it's still a great album. I'd also give Tales the slight edge over Nightfall.

I think it's a great album. It has Seeds of the Desolate, one of their best songs ever. However, I think their first album is the best.

I prefere Wino in his other bands over Saint Vitus and am curious if anyone else does. Don't get me wrong SV is great, but Wino is a great guitarist and is very expirimental and he just offers more as a player than dave chandler and just find Wino more interesting when he's on guitar and vocals taking over songwriting/music.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The Obsessed and Spirit Caravan > Born Too Late through V > Hidden Hand (I haven't heard Mother Teacher Destroyer yet though)

However, Petra (Patra) and Jug Fulla Sun / Dead Love are Wino's best songs

 

[Rumpole]

Yeah, I'd take The Obsessed over any other band he's formed/been involved with. Definitely one of my favourite guitarists.

yes, you should. it's a phantastic album and my favourite SA release

 

[Zephyrus]

About the only doom bands I ever listen to are Cathedral, Saint Vitus, Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Draconian, and Novembers Doom. Other than those, I am at a loss at knowing what good doom is.

You're missing Pentagram from this list.

Seeds of the Desolate is on Beyond the Crimson Horizon.
