hi again.

i always listened to death/black/trash metal mainly but this morning, a friend of mine gave me a "old" (1999) November's Doom album (Of Sculptured Ivy And Stone Flowers) which he said it's Doom Metal. and i actually like it.

so, point of this post: to ask for any good, above average Doom Metal bands so i can get into this style.

thanks.

Probably one of the most popular doom bands today is My Dying Bride. I really like them.

I find November's Doom to be boring, but I've only heard a few songs.

__________________

My Dying Bride... i've heard that name before but the person who mentioned them told they were black metal.

i shall download a couple of songs to check them out.

November's Doom is great. Doom in general is awesome. I don't like My Dying Bride at all though.

Doom bands to check out:
October Tide
Novermber's Doom
Evoken
Cephalic Carnage - Halls of Amenti (This 19 minute song is the epitome of doom. I strongly recomend it)
Saturnus

I need to be depressed to listen to it. But Eyehategod is always good for some dirty sludge ridden doom.

__________________

Evoken is probably the most depressing out of all.

these bands have to be in your collection if you are into doom metal:

Mourning Beloveth
Agalloch
Winter
My Dying Bride
Anathema (old cd's)
Morphia
As Divine Grace
Katatonia

hahahaha, black metal....that's a good one!!

The Portugese DESIRE is awesome especially their newest album!

Also check out FORSAKEN (they call themselves doom but their newest album is too fast and not heavy enough for me to be doom), PANTHEIST, THEE PLAGUE OF GENTLEMEN.

__________________

Nobody has mentioned Cathedral yet.

Also, what about High On Fire? I reckon they're a stoner band but I've heard people describe them as doom.

__________________

Rune are good.

question: can Paradise Lost be considered Doom?

the first albums of course.

to the one who mentioned Portuguese bands:

i'm portuguese and i must say that our metal isn't all that great. Ramp used to be good, The Temple vanished, Genocide have been dormant...

oh well, at least Moospell achieved sucess worldwide.

my dying bride
moonspell
the sins of thy beloved

those are my fav doom metal bands

Yes, Paradise Lost is pretty standard doom up to the album "One Second". Even on their newest album, they still have a doom influence, but generally, are more like a goth rock band. They are really good with all their albums.

Officium Triste. Those dutch bastards are worth a listen

THE BRIDE!!!!!

Esoteric is awesome

also SKEPTICISM!!!!!!!!! and SHAPE OF DESPAIR!!!!!!!

__________________

so, ok, here's what listened to:

My Dying Bride - very good.

Paradise Lost - "Forever Failure" is like, a very sad song.

Anathema - good. strangely, it reminds me of Paradise Lost. which is a good thing.

Amorphis - they sound a little too fast to be Doom. but i trust you guys.

also, the same guy that gave me the November's Doom album recommended me Bethlehem, which is awesome. as a matter of fact, since no one mentioned them, i'll recommend it to you.

Those are more sludge. The two genres are easily confused, but Doom has a meloncholy like sound.

Ten Ton: You must check out October Tide and Evoken if you want sad.

thats kind of like saying thats not brutal death, its splatter core. If you want to classify it the proper way then yes, but the person just out there looking for doom isnt going to be able to desypher

__________________

you cant forget black sabbath, without them, no metal would be around, esp. doom and stoner metal.

__________________

yeah.......right.......if you say so......

__________________

that's not where the thread is all about, who says black sabbath started metal??

__________________

i put sabbath cus sabbath s doomy metal

__________________

My Dying Bride and early Paradise Lost

__________________

that statement is just as valid as saying led zepelin is heavy metal

__________________

I would recommend Electric Wizard(Dopeththrone),Khanate
Trouble(Psalm 9)
and Candlemass(Epicus Doomicus Metalicus)

__________________

Yeah Electric Wizard is good.

Pale Divine is good from some stoner/doomy metal. Awesome guitar solos.

__________________

Sabbath startred metal, and gave birth to doom. ask any doom band member who thier influences are and 90% will tell you Sabbath.

and who said Amorphis is doom?? thier heavily influenced from Finnish folk music...at least thier older stuff, heaven't really heard anything after Tuelua or whatever that album is called.

but anyways, SKEPTICISM, fucking epic doom right there...and SHAPE OF DESPAIR is awesome Funeral Doom...its in my will to play Shape of Despair during my funeral.

Dont.

I think that the sparrows aka steppenwolf had more of an influence on "metal" than ozzy did. Ozzy just has more notoriety so he gets all the credit

__________________

i would say that Sabbath was more instrumental in starting the Grunge scene than metal, accrediting metal to bands more like Juds Priest and Iron Maiden

................... but that is off topic

i would class Susperia as doom

__________________

The only Amorphis album that is a sort of doom is "Tales From the Thousand Lakes". It still has the folk influence, but is more mid-paced. Check out the songs "Into Hinding" and "Black Winter Day".
