Traditional Doom Metal

[Matt]

Which Candlemass did you hear?

I own EDM.

 

[DarkBliss]

Nightfall is really quite different from EDM. You should give it a try before giving up on the band altogether.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I picked those albums because they have Black Sabbath influences. And a few traditional doom songs : The Riddle Master, Cirith Ungol, Dreams Of Eschaton , The Master Of The Pit...

But they are not all trad doom. Great albums though.

Re Cathedral: I listened to Forest of Equilibrium and found it really underwhelming and bland for the most part. Maybe I'm missing something.

I think you should listen to it more because it's one of the most original album period and it's very interesting. I find it really weird,eerie, and creepy also.

anyone know of any trad doom bands with extremely long, epic songs?

 

[ohiogrinder]

The only Cathedral album I have is Carnival Bizarre and it is awesome. That is when they started going the stoner route.

get Forest Of Equilibrium NOW

Nec, The End Records has III: So Long Suckers for 15 dollars, AND if you order from 22nd-24th there is a coupon code for a 15.3% discount.

Maybe Doomraiser? Awesome Italian trad. doom. Essential modern traditional stuff.

HOUR OF 13 IS GOING TO KILL. Should be out in a couple weeks. I'm sure that will be on my year end list (in July) as well.

You're motherfucking right it will. Too bad though, the new UoE is disappointing.

There are tons of new Doom Metal bands coming out of the woodwork that just totally fucking crush face.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Have you heard Doomraiser though is the operative question.

I think he should get The Ethereal Mirror first, providing a smoother transition back toward the band's more traditional roots.

And you haven't heard Cathedral until you've heard "Midnight Mountain".

 

[Krilons Resa]

Of course I have. Ive owned it for a long time now.. The vocalist is a dead-ringer for Danzig. Pretty decent stuff.

Cool man.

How so? I've been looking forward to this for ages. Do you know where it's available from?

 

[skeptik]

www.thebasar.org, as always with Barbarian Wrath and Witches Brew releases.

 

[Rumpole]

Cool, thanks.

I've actually been wanting to try to broaden my spectrum on Death Doom, but now you have me wanting to work on Traditional Doom instead. This has been somewhat of an interesting & informative thread.

'Passenger' from Nevermore is one of the finest doom songs i've ever heard
