Traditional Doom

[rms]

The last two doomy bands I found that did anything for me was Witchcraft and Jex Thoth. Witchcraft are very Pentagram like but hints of Moody Blues and Dust. Jex Thoth is just awesome. Before it even dawn on me my girlfriend thought I was listening to Mandy Morton & The Spriguns. Well add some Witchfinder General in there and there you have it.

their new EP 'witness' is just as awesome

Jasonic,

I am familiar with Messiah's output with Candlemass, particularly on "Tales Of Creation" and the self-titled album. Outside of that, I know "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" very well, and I've been checking out "King Of The Grey Islands." I tend to prefer the other vocalists that have been in Candlemass. Messiah has this weird vibratto going on, especially when pronouncing the long "U" or double-O sound. It's really hard for me to get past that.

At any rate, I've realized that I really appreciate the heaviness of the guitars in doom. It's the vocals that have kept me on the fence. I haven't brought it up here yet, but believe it or not, my first official release will be a doom album! I'll give out more details as we get closer to the release.


Stay metal. Never rust.

It's the same thing for me in terms of Messiah. I do like those albums with him, outside of the S/T, but the vibrato thing annoys me sometimes, which is why I still say that the current singer Rob Lowe is the best they've had.

Kind of a thread resurrection, but lately I've been eating up all this occult doom stuff like Hour of 13. Any similar bands I should know about?

Freedom Call - Stairway to Fairyland.


one of my freinds showed me Blood Ceramony. I guess they are oocultish doom.

I have just made the whole office wonder why the fuck I was laughing so hard in the middle of the day...

Psh... Everyone know's that Power Quest's "Magic Never Dies" is the essential doom metal album of the 21st Century.

Sonata Arctica's "Silence" was a close contender.

Christ there are way too many. But I do, have, and will carry many of them.

Cool, thanks. Already know Pagan Altar and Jex Thoth, but unfamiliar with the other two. Gonna check em out tonight!

 

[Jasonic]

Pagan Altar are an acquired taste.
I love them personally, but it isn't a band you love from first listen.
It took me a while for them to click, and doom is one of my fav genres.
Just a warning.

Here is their greatest song, in my opinion:

Oh, wow. This has me sold based on the cover art alone.

Cannot believe I forgot these guys, this is one of my favorite Stormspell release and top picks of last year. Sounds a bit like Witchcraft if Witchcraft kept their flavor in the 70s oppose to pushing the sound back to the 60s.
