Finland's Unholy. It is a Funeral Doom/Black Metal hybrid. No band more sinister, darker and creepier than them...

Th Wizar'd
The Lamp Of Thoth
Hour Of 13
Jex Thoth

New bands who play classic/trad doom! My favourite - Hour Of 13 with their s/t debute.

Not sure if you are still compiling doom metal bands, but I have a queue to add to the list. The three not mentioned thus far that jump off the top of my head are:

Ahab - great funeral doom
The Living Fields - best doom band I have found in a long time
Virgin Black - fantastic symphonic/goth doom

Yep. I heard the second CR album and thought: "Why listen to this when I can listen to Black Sabbath?"

Solitude Aeturnus is probably one of the best doom bands. I kind of goes down hill from there IMO.

Doom on, is right! Love it to bits, since I picked up Sunn 0)))/Boris's collab., "Altar" last year. I've now got more of those two bands than I know what to do with, so here's my list:

Sunn 0))) - Black One, White One (really great), Altar, Oraculum, Flight of the Behemoth

Slomo - The Creep (awesome, wall-shaking)

The Gersch - Hard to find self-titled album - a must have! I love this album!

Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain (great stoner doom), Jerusalem

Dead Raven Choir - Casket Strength Metal, Selenoclast Wolves (very experimental)

Mrytu - Blood Tantra

L'Acephale - Mord Und Totsclag (there really aren't words)

And I think that's enough for now, or y'all will get sick of me!

I've been listening to Funeral's new one lately...it rules! I've also been listening to a lot of Cathedral.

thrashassault — Fri, 18 May 2007 15:35:41 GMT

I have been getting into Cathedral and Electric Wizard a lot lately.

And to Beer Drinker and Hell Raiser I don't think bands like Trouble are outdated! I look for doom metal bands that sound close to bands like St. Vitus and Pentagram. Good shit all around!!! :cool:

[quote][b]Beer Drinker and Hell Raiser (4/17/2007)[/b][hr]My first introduction to doom metal were through the bands Pentagram and St. Vitus. Although by todays standards they may seem out dated, they are still the forefathers of this glorious form of music. Other bands that forged the way for doom are Candlemass, Trouble and Witchfinder General. Once I discovered Trouble and their sabbath like riffs I was hooked. Even though I didn't dig their lyrics, their music more than made up for it. I still listen to "Psalm 9" and "The Skull" today. Classic albums that stand the test of time. Another classic album is Candlemass "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus". I would consider these 3 albums must haves to any doom metal fan. Another must have that is a bit more modern is Catherdral's "Forest Of Equilibrium". Pure beautiful sorrow. Some newer bands that get my goat going would be the almighty My Dying Bride, even though not really "new", still heavy as balls! Others include Daylight Dies, Swallow The Sun, High On Fire, Mourning Beloveth, and The Sword. I hope this helps you in your search for one of the most powerful forms of music today. As with all metal, even doom metal has sub-genres be it stoner, epic or gothic. I for one am not a fan of the gothic type....to polished for my taste. DOOM ON!!![/quote]

Daylight Dies is a really good Doom Metal band, I forgot to mention them.

Dr. Pete — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 18:25:50 GMT

We should keep a running tally of the bands mentioned so far.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

The Iron Maiden — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 17:54:10 GMT

I'm not a *huge* doom fan and don't know much about the genre, but I'd like to get into more of it. I've heard lots of great stuff about most of the bands mentioned, and one in particular that I really like is Cathedral. I also saw Solitude Aeturnus last weekend, and I'll be checking out some of their stuff.

Some good Doom Metal bands are Reverend Bizarre and Unearthly Trance.

Sleep is sludge; which is a form of Doom.
Sleep is also one of the heaviest bands ever.

I never really figured Opeth for doom metal, but some of their passages do fit quite nicely. Overall I think they defy categorization, though.

My 2 cents.....

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

Jeremy — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 16:12:42 GMT

It's because of that thin line that I never really got into the genre. I love Green Carnation (one of my favorite bands actually), Candlemass, Opeth, Amorphis, Anathema, My Dying Bride, Grey Skies Fallen and some other doom and doom influenced bands. But for the genre as a whole, it never really appealed to me too much. Some of it can just sound so dark and sinister but a lot of it just puts me to sleep.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

Virhe — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 15:53:03 GMT

Don't forget funeral doom, as that shit is perfect for cold winters and lightless days. Locking everything out of mind and just listening to bands like Shape of Despair (and their huge, slow guitar barriers) is always an emotional experience.

As for the genre in general, it's one of those things that are hard to master, as there's a really thin line between hypnotizing and boring. Guess it all goes down to those small details that really make the longer songs work. Plus it seems to be one of the most intimate styles out there, so it's no wonder why some stuff just doesn't work for all people.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

SteveSaks — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 11:32:51 GMT

that new band I reviewed, and Interviwed. Lair Of The Minotaur..Have a Doom sound to them..But are very heavy, some mid to up tempo songs..with evil sounding guitars as well..Sounds a bit Like Old Celtic Frost... Check Out Morbid Tales by Celtic Frost...they started that doom sound with those twisted, sick riffs... \m/

[quote][b]LocustStar (2/24/2006)[/b]That's not the Pentagram that's on Relapse, is it? I think I heard there were two bands by that name, I heard the relapse band but I don't think it was doom. [/quote]

I think it is the Same Pentagram, They did release one CD on Relapse in 2001 "First Daze Here" But you have to check out some of their earlier albums, "Pentagram" or "Day of Reckoning" or "Be Forewarned" to get a real sample of the band. Cracking stuff in my opinion

I don't know a whole lot of doom, but I recently picked up Yob's "The Illusion of Motion," and it is fantastic. I also have Cathedral's "The Ethereal Mirror". Classic album, I've been meaning to look into them further.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

Damn I forgot to mention Saint Vitus too. I just got there s/t album and it rules.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

thrashassault — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 07:56:02 GMT

The Sabbath albums with Ozzy on vocals were totally doom metal. imo. But when they got Dio and Tony it was more heavy traditional styled metal.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

voodoo — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 03:52:18 GMT

I find it strange to lump Black Sabbath into this category, but the more I thought about it the more it fits. Other than that I'm not much of a fan of doom metal.

RE: Damn still no Doom Metal threads!

Metalmania — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 16:54:01 GMT

Of those mentioned I like Black Sabbath (of course), Candlemass
Trouble, Pentagram. Not a huge Doom fan but those are great!

thrashassault — Fri, 02 Dec 2005 06:37:33 GMT

WEll I actually got into the genre like two years ago. I love a lot of the proto-doom and some of the big timmers. My favorites would have to include:
Black Sabbath
Mercy
Candlemass
Touble
Count Raven
Pentagram
Solitued Aeturnus
Child Saint
Dream Death
Memento Mori
Nemesis

to name a few.
