US and Canadian doom

[metu]

So who are your favorites and why?

I've heard some Pentagram and St. Vitus as well as some November's Doom. I like them all a lot. I don't know any more, though. I know, shame on me, but hell, a good doom discussion never hurt.... Don't matter who started it, eh?

There really aren't many American doom bands. Solitude Aeturnus, The Obsessed, Trouble, 13. All of these bands are older, and some of them are no longer around.

Morgion is fucking awesome!! so is Earth, Thorr's Hammer(not sure if theyre US), Sunn O))), etc, go to www.doom-metal.com for a huge list of bands

I'm pretty sure that most doom metal fans know about doom-metal.com. I'm tryin' to get some conversation started here. Sometimes it's like pullin' teeth.

The last post reminds me of a term I read about a while ago. Southern sludge? Is southern stoner metal a different name for the same thing? Is there actually an unique feel to the groove?

 

[arsenic_kills]

souther sludge and southern stonermetal are the same just a different term like doom and eurodoom its the same to most people who arent into every doom band and genre in the music world

EVOKEN. kings of doom.

 

[The Wanderer]

Evoken and fall of empyrean are great bands. Morgion rocks as well. Avernus are good, though they've been pretty quiet as of late. if you can find their stuff, it's worth it.

not really doom, but Vesperian Sorrow is some of the best US metal i can think of \m/

 

[Univira]

While Heaven Wept is pretty good.

Thats a song (a rough version) called "Where Gods Lay Down to Die" that Wind Through the Trees did (a band I'm in).

I would very much like to learn more about that whole blues/doom shit.

It is indeed an interesting idea.

Woods of Ypres, their new album has a slight doom influence. Very good stuff. Aside from North American doom... I'd just like to mention the band Worship. FANTASTIC funeral doom.

EVOKEN are great - also, there was a US band called Dusk -
great doom! To the best of my knowledge, the albums
are out of print as I had to really hunt them down.
Anyone intrested in hearing some let me know.
