Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[Shattered_Future]

Plus, I find it really, REALLY hard to play that slow live.

[the2stranger]

I never really had trouble with that.

Last doom gig I went to was Saturnus, Agalloch, November's Doom.

[actionfan32]

Last doom gig I went to was Saturnus, Agalloch, November's Doom.

Oh man, I'd love to see that! Sadly doom metal is pretty much non-existant here, I've never seen a doom band live yet. Touring bands don't stop by, and we don't have any local doom metal bands. I'd love to start one, but I'm the only person I know who listens to any doom metal, so it doesn't look like that's gonna happen soon.

[the2stranger]

That sucks.

I'm still thinking of doing a funeral doom project, but I doubt I will ever find anyone who can play guitar, so I guess it'll stay keyboard based.

[Sleepy]

o_O

There's absolutely massive amounts of people who play guitar. What you need to worry about is a drummer.

The fact that you play keys just took care of the most rare musician on the list.

[the2stranger]

You have a point there.
I can drum as well, ptroblemis, I need to buy a drumkit. :upset:

And You're right about the fact there are enough guitarists, but hardly any of them enjoy funeral doom. :

So what? If you get a few that are interested in Rock or Metal you can introduce them to the genre. If they like it, say hello to your new guitarist.

[the2stranger]

You have a point.
Still, somewhere I enjoy this being a one man project.

I'll see where it'll go.

[Shattered_Future]

Petey, if you write guitar lines and send them to me, I'll be glad to record them. :thumb:

[Thasis]

That sucks.

I'm still thinking of doing a funeral doom project, but I doubt I will ever find anyone who can play guitar, so I guess it'll stay keyboard based.

I play guitar so if you send me your end of the track I can record my part over it and send you back the final copy. If your intrested my email is: dungeonmaster2847@hotmail.com

Edit: Oh, somebody else already offered. Well my offer still stands, but he said it first so :P

[Shattered_Future]

Funeral doom guitar duel, bitch. :mad: :smash:

[the2stranger]

Alright, thanks guys!

I must see if I can get this al worked out, because I'm rather busy with organzing all my stuff for Norway.
But we'll see. :D

[Thasis]

Haha, that'd be hawt, but you'd probally win. I havn't been playing guitar for to long.

Edit: I have my own project, so if I can get my bass amp back from my friends I'll see if I can get some stuff written and recorded for yah all.

[the2stranger]

Pate:

I listened to your album.
Great stuff.
Sounds good, The vocals are nice.
I love the dark blues guitar vibe that comes through ocassionaly.

The best thing is the band pic on last fm!
Keep up the good work man. :)

[pate]

Thanks a lot man! I'd say my vocals are the worst part haha

And that pic is classic :lol:

My Dying Bride U.S. tour

Shame is, Aaron said it'd be Anathema/MDB/Cradle of Filth

:(:(

[ATM]

Any fans of Witchcraft?

[magicbus]

I have one of their albums, but I haven't listened to it a whole bunch.

It's pretty cool, kinda like a Black Sabbath-y dark blues rock going on.

[actionfan32]

Shame is, Aaron said it'd be Anathema/MDB/Cradle of Filth

Really? If that ends up happening that would awesome. I can't stand Cradle of Filth whatsoever, but to see MDB and Anathema together would just be amazing! Did he say which band would be headlining? Unfortunately it would most likely be COF but I'm hoping it isn't.

[ATM]

I'm finally checking out Zebulon Pike.

I'm finally checking out Zebulon Pike.

Tell me how they are; I've heard good things but never gotten around to checking them out.

I've been trying to get one off BitTorrent but I haven't found one that works yet. :(

[ATM]

I saw it last night at a theater by my house.

One sec I'll edit in the link for the Zebulon Pike.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/yhtkr4

Zebulon Pike is something like Pelican meets The ****ing Champs. They're a heavy instrumental stoner/math rock band, with two guitarists who are all about the insane harmonies. The drummer and bassist get a workout too, what with the complex, dynamic song structures this band navigates. From ultra-sludgy riff attacks to mellow and pretty (even a bit jazzy) breakdowns, the melodic doom calculus of Zebulon Pike proceeds at a generally slow pace (nine or twelve minute long songs are the norm), interspersed with bursts of note-manic playing. You'll definitely hear the band's '70s influences of Wishbone Ash and Black Sabbath, translated into a modern instrumental post-rock realm. The band also goes beyond metal and prog to cite classical composers like Bela Bartok and Avro Part as inspirations to their "slow motion apocalypse". Mighty, mythic instrumental metal indeed. FYI Zebulon Pike takes their name from an early American explorer, the same guy for whom Pike's Peak is named.

Shame is, Aaron said it'd be Anathema/MDB/Cradle of Filth

:(:(

Well, that would be the first concert where the support outweighs the headliner that I'd go see.

[pate]

Really? If that ends up happening that would awesome. I can't stand Cradle of Filth whatsoever, but to see MDB and Anathema together would just be amazing! Did he say which band would be headlining? Unfortunately it would most likely be COF but I'm hoping it isn't.

I listed them in the order he said: Anathema opening, MDB as support, and COF headlining. :( Who knows if it's actually going to happen though.

@Mike: Agreed.

[Thasis]

What's with all of the hate for CoF. I knew their new album sucks, but if they play anything from any of there earlier albums it'd be worth a show. Anathema, even though no longer playing doom metal, still produces good doomy rock. It's not bad.

[RetiredAt21]

I think CoF's first album is alright. But anything after that...no thanks.

[pate]

I think CoF's first album is alright. But anything after that...no thanks.

Agreed.

I'd still go to that tour though...and leave after MDB.

[RetiredAt21]

MDB is awesome. Fav song/album?

[Thasis]

Mmm... I like everything but Thornography and Cruelty And The Beast. I've been listening to Cruelty lately however and found that I am gaining a bit of a taste for it.

[RetiredAt21]

My favorite song is The Raven And The Rose. I can't remember the name of the album it's on, but that's my favorite album of their's.

[ATM]

This Zebulon Pike is sweet, I really hope I can see them at Doom or Be Doomed.

[Thasis]

Contrary to popular likes, I like 34.788%... Complete quite a bit.

[RetiredAt21]

Contrary to popular likes, I like 34.788%... Complete quite a bit.

Everyone told me that that album is so bad that I never even bothered to download anything from it.

[actionfan32]

Hmm, my favorite MDB albums would probably have to be The Dreadful Hours and As The Flower Withers, although I really like everything they've done so it's hard to limit it to just one or two favorites. I love the heavy, aggressive, raw sound on ATFW, and TDH was my introduction to doom and I just love every song on that album. I even liked 34.788% Complete, it's one of my least favorite MDB albums but I still think it's fairly good and not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be.

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, the Dreaful Hours! That's my favorite MDB album.

[pate]

My favorite albums are Like Gods of the Sun and A Line of Deathless Kings. Favorite songs include The Raven and the Rose, For You, To Remain Tombless, L'amour Detruit, and every other song they've done. :p

[Thasis]

Try listening to some 34.788% Complete and look past the fact that it's MDB. Take it in just as a stand alone CD, and some great appreciation can be taken from it.

[Phototropic]

I downloaded that Zebulon Pike album

lovin it

its great stuff!!

thanks to who uploaded it

although sometimes it does something bizarre and unexpected, its still very powerful music, no vocals make for such a hypnotic vibe

[pate]

So...

The replacement for Messiah is good old Mr. Rob Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus. :):)

They couldn't have made a better pick.

On a related note, I will be seeing SA at the Chicago Powerfest on April 20.

[Shattered_Future]

My favorite album of theirs is probably Like Gods Of The Sun. Favorite song? Maybe The Scarlet Garden, even though the rest of that album is TERRIBLE.

MDB are pretty sweet.

The only My Dying Bride album that I've ever heard is their first one, As the Flower Withers. Where should I go from there?

[pate]

Ya rly.

Now I can hold my breath that the headliner for Chicago Powerfest will be Candlemass, with Rob doing double duty.

*expects to pass out before this happens*


MDB albums: I'd say get Turn Loose the Swans, The Angel and the Dark River, Like Gods of the Sun, and A Line of Deathless Kings next.

[AlienEater]

I just got that Sunn0)) and Boris album. I haven't listened to it yet.

[the2stranger]

The Sunn/Boris album is really good.
Great ambience.


You can clrealy hear which track is mor e Sunn like and which is more Boris like.
But realy great stuff.
I saw the album today, but it was too expensive.
I bought the Spiritual Beggars - Demons 2 cd for €11,50. :)

[Iron Bars]

I just got that Sunn0)) and Boris album. I haven't listened to it yet.

I was browsing through a cd store today and had that album in my hand. Didn't buy it though, might later. I really don't like the Sunn0)) bits but Boris makes more than up for that.

[AlienEater]

I don't really like Sunn much but Boris are great.

I need to listen to more drone.

[Iron Bars]

I have the same. A friend of mine once started calling Sunn0)) background noise and I have to agree with him. I only have Pink by Boris and thats from what I heard not how they usually sound. Pink is great though.

[Sleepy]

I actually really like a lot of Sunn 0))) stuff. Black One and Flight of the Behemoth, to be specific. I never dare call it music, though.

And Boris is great. Pink and Heavy Rocks are both awesome albums. Amplifier Worship, too.

[jva]

I have the same. A friend of mine once started calling Sunn0)) background noise and I have to agree with him.

Don't say this man. You won't make friends :naughty:
But I like it when you agree with me....

[RetiredAt21]

I love Sunn 0))).

[pate]

I dislike Sunn O))).

[the2stranger]

I like Sunn O))).
I like Drone in general anyway.
Very good music, but mood music certainly.
Can't listen to it all day, like I can with funeral doom. :cool:

np: Awesome funeral doom. :p

[pate]

Funeral >>>>>>>> Drone

[RetiredAt21]

I'm not sure which I like more.

[jva]

I agree with pate. I don't think that it is even possible to really listen to Sunn 0))). It's got nothing to do with mood, because they don't resemble any kind of mood, not even depressing or such. Makes great background sound, but I don't get depressed, heavy or aggressive from it. Maybe a little bored.

[the2stranger]

Funeral >>>>>>>> Drone

Look well at this post, this man speaks the truth. :cool:

Funeral doom has a more organic and emotional feel, while drone is more mechanic and devoid of emotion, it really beats any emotion out of your skull.

Both are great though.

[pixiesfanyo]

Sunn0))) meh.

Earth :)

[Iron Bars]

[Txus]

The Zebulon album is some of the best stuff I've heard lately.

[RetiredAt21]

I think I'm going to check out Ahab. Best album?

[ATM]

I know, there wasnt much feedback on it, huh?

[Shattered_Future]

I'm still in love with Hope at the moment, to be perfectly honest.

[Nuke Broadcast]

[Daven]

I need to get my hands on some Earth material.

[the2stranger]

Start with EARTH II Special Low Frequency Version.
:)

[Daven]

K, ill look for it later. I'm expecting it to be good.

[the2stranger]

Expect it to be low. :cool:
It's far different from Sunn O)) if you're familair with them.

[Daven]

Yeah, i like Sunn O)))

[AlienEater]

Wow I was about to ask for Earth recommendations.

Coincidence...

Or something far more sinister?

[Iron Bars]

I'm listening to Teeth of Lions rule the Divine and I'm not as turned off by it as the few times I tried Sunn0)). It's still a challenging listen though. The thing I miss most is any form of drumms.

[the2stranger]

It has a lighter feel then Sunn O))), not as suffocating and dark as Sunn O)))


Speaking of your np, Johan.
Teeth Of The Lions Rule The Divine is a great band too, also featuring O'Malley and Anderson.

np: stoner. :cool:

[Iron Bars]

I'm downloading that album too because of Lee Dorrian being involved.

[the2stranger]

He's great on the album.
but then gain, he's always good. :p

[ATM]

Damn it. Somebody at work told me Weedeater are touring, but I checked their site and he was lying.

[the2stranger]

That sucks.
I'd bet it'd be great to see them live.
Are you enjoying them? :)

Lee Dorrian is my hero.

I had a TOTLRTD album but I didn't like it. It was a while ago.

"Feel Bad Hit of the Winter" is an awesome song name though.

I've been listening to a lot Jesu recently

[the2stranger]

Feel Bad hit of the Winter is indeed anawesome title. :lol:

I enjoy Jesu every once in a while, but it gets boring somehow. :(
I can't listen to more then 1 CD by him in a week or so.
I'd love seeing him live though.

np: Wormphegm - Return Of The Ice Age And The Tortyant

[AlienEater]

It would be cool to see him live.

anyone heard his other project Final? Its just him with guitar and programming I think, I was wondering if it was good.

[the2stranger]

Never heard of that.
Sounds very minimalist to me.
And I don't like programmed drums, so I bet I won't like it.

[AlienEater]

I don't think its drums, just that keyboardy sounding stuff. I could be wrong though.

[the2stranger]

That makes a whole lot difference.
:)
Now I might actually like it. :-P

I love the synth sound on Jesu.

[Iron Bars]

I downloaded Alpha and Omega by Penence and I got my hands on The Ethereal Mirror by Cathedral. I like at first listen though they are more rock than I was expecting. After a few months of slow Ahab stuff I need to adjust my definition of doom a bit I think.

[the2stranger]

Ahab. \m/
I know what you mean, if I listen to some trad doom at times I wonder: 'Is this even slow?'
:lol:

Dammit, I want to get my hands of the Comatose Vigil EP, but I can't find it anywhere. :(

I'm now listening to Saturnus - Veronika Decides To Die, after seeing them a few months back.
Excellent doom/death from Denmark.
Certainly recommended.
Although I do not always find the vocals that fitting, he would be mad awesome in a brutal death metal band, but he does a fine job here too.

np: Descending

[pate]

Trad doom is the best doom.

/runs

[Iron Bars]

NP: Ahab - Below the sun

I've been listening to a lot more traditional doom since starting out with Ahab. Reverend Bizarre, Cathedral and MDB have been getting alot more listens the last few weeks.

[the2stranger]

I enjoy all sorts of doom actually.
Really depends on my mood.

[pate]

I can enjoy trad doom any time, but for funeral I have to be in a certain mood.

[Jondur]

I downloaded Alpha and Omega by Penance

That's a fantastic album. I prefer SpiritualNatural personally but any Penance is great. Butch Ballich is probably my favourite metal vocalist (with the obvious RJD exception)


After a few months of slow Ahab stuff I need to adjust my definition of doom a bit I think.

Quite.

[Thasis]

I can enjoy trad doom any time, but for funeral I have to be in a certain mood.

I find it's the opposite for me. But I prefer the non-clean vocals over clean so...

[Shattered_Future]

I can listen to doom (any type) quite a lot. :cool:

[magicbus]

I'm still not sure about the difference between funeral and regular doom :confused:

[the2stranger]

/Does so. my lastfm top 10 of this week holds 8 doom/doom related bands. :p

9 H.O.P.E 8
10 Saturnus 5

[Shattered_Future]

I'm still not sure about the difference between funeral and regular doom :confused:

Funeral doom = heavy, SLOOOOW, often crushing in its atmosphere, utterly depressing

Doom = (as Jondur says) anything that stems somewhat from the Sabbath circle of influence.

[Daven]

I really need to be in a mood to listen Trad doom, i can listen to FD almost at any time though.

Grívf - Midgaard

[magicbus]

Oh so Doom could be something with a "moderate" tempo, just heavy at the same time? I thought all of it was sloooooooow.

[Shattered_Future]

Oh so Doom could be something with a "moderate" tempo, just heavy at the same time? I thought all of it was sloooooooow.

A lot of it is rather slow, but not all doom is time impeding. Cathedral have more midpaced songs than anything and they're some of the pioneers of the doom genre.

[magicbus]

So could Sleep or Electric Wizard be considered doom? Or just stoner metal?

I love listening to all this stuff, but I'm lost on all the genres :p

[RetiredAt21]

I love Electric Funeral.

[magicbus]

Yeah, I really like Dopethrone. The sludgy, fuzzy bass is the coolest thing ever.

[pixiesfanyo]

Electric Wizard is pretty cool.

[pate]

Bus, you mean Electric Wizard, an ownage band.

[pixiesfanyo]

He's talking about an album, you faggot.

[pate]

...an album by Electric Wizard, not Electric Funeral you horrible poster.

[pixiesfanyo]

whatever. i just hate your avatar.

[magicbus]

Whoops. Yeah, I meant Electric Wizard, but I was thinking about Funeral Doom at the time.

[jva]

I just finished listening to Pink by Boris, that was really a good album! People told it was more a drone album, so I prepared the worse, but I liked it very much. Especially the more rock 'n roll kind of songs, those were a nice for a change.

[rhcp pman]

Wreck of the Hesperus is awesome.

[Iron Bars]

I was listening to the Ethereal Mirror by Cathedral and noticed this was my only album by them. Any recomendations on what to get next?

There isn't much drone in Pink at all. Boris change their sound around a lot.

[AlienEater]

Pink is one of their weakest in my opinion

[Bartender]

It's my least favourite of the pathetic three I've managed to get so far, to be sure.

[pixiesfanyo]

Boris is pretty overrated in my honest opinion.

[Shattered_Future]

Whoops. Yeah, I meant Electric Wizard, but I was thinking about Funeral Doom at the time.

you should be able to get a double CD with self-titled and Come my fanatics on it

I went in HMV and they had both seperate albums then the double CD for cheaper than either of them :rolleyes:

Great stuff, I love them both, but Dopethrone just annilihates everything...everything :)

Hey John, Just thought i'd give you a heads up that we're going to be doing a local music pull-out at Quench (the cardiff student magazine).

I'm going to be doing some mini articles on the Screamin Eagles and Albatross, whilst the Buffallo Kings are gonna be covered and the editor will probably write a larger article on Bomb the Sun. If it interests you at all I might be able to get a copy sent out to you or something.

Hey, could you guys critique the Doomish song I'm writing? I want advice on the actual song, not the production or mixing, because I know they're both awful. Also, the drums are off time because I recorded them on my keyboard, and I can't play keyboard drums in time for my life. And the vocals aren't final, I did them really quick because my friend hadn't come over to do them yet. I'm really looking for more advice on the music. This isn't a full song, just an idea.

They're epic doom. very different to the Vitus style of things. Much more 'heavy metal'.


What album(s) should I get?

Into the Depths of Sorrow
Through the Darkest Hour.

[pate]

I love every SA album except Alone, which hasn't hit me yet.

[the2stranger]

I'm seeing Solitude Aeturnus on April 20. :):)

/Jealous.
Enjoy.

I want to see some doom bands as well. :(

[Shattered_Future]

I wish I could go see Novembers Doom...The Novella Reservoir is SUUUCH a good album. Even if it's ridiculously simple.

[the2stranger]

I saw them a month back or so.
<_<

>_>

Still Agalloch > Every other band playing that evening.

[Shattered_Future]

Stupid European. :mad:

Solitude Aeturnus is downloading now. Since you guys can't give me a concrete answer, I'm gonna go through their disco.

BEYOND THE ****ING CRIMSON HORIZON GODDAMNIT


Yes, the new ND owns, just like all other ND.

Saturnus was just announced. I'm dling an album now.

[i am the robots]

Whenever I see this thread, I see Trevor made it, and I realize I haven't talked to the kid in forever :upset:.

[pate]

Saturnus was just announced. I'm dling an album now.

I got their new album and gave it a listen. They are excellent. I'm pumped at seeing them live.

[the2stranger]

Matt:
Indeed, Trev hardly ever posts on MX anymore. let alone in this thread.
I speak to him on occasion on MSN though.

on topic of Saturnus:
Veronika Decides To Die is a great album, if you're going to see them live, enjoy!
They played a great show when I saw them.
The vocalist is a very funnt guy btw. :lol:

[pate]

Awesome. Now I'm looking forward to seeing them even more.

[Txus]

Saturnus should do more songs like The Fall of Nakkiel (Nakkiel Has Fallen)

[RetiredAt21]

I like The Funeral Orchestra.

[RetiredAt21]

Anyone like? I love this.

[Jondur]

I have the new Warning album. I reckon its the best doom album in about 10 years. It's perfect.

I'm nevar on msn anymore.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't really use IM programs much anymore either.

[Nostalgia]

So Unholy is insanely awesome.

[Poofy 666]

Hmmm...I just saw that Boris is playing a show where I live...

Should I go or no?

[magicbus]

Yeah, definitely go. Please.

[the2stranger]

Yes, go.
Boris rock.

I want to see them as well someday.

[Poofy 666]

I'm gonna try to get there for Boris. I hate myself for not being able to see Sunn o))) when they toured last year.

[the2stranger]

Seeing isn't the best expression for a Sunn O))) gig.

you could better say:
''I hate myself for not being able to feel Sunn o))) when they toured last year."

:p

[Shattered_Future]

I still want to go see them.

Any love for Lair Of The Minotaur here?
Heavy as hell..but not too slow to stop you from listening if you don't like your sludge too slow.

np: Lair Of The Minotaur - Grisly Hound Of The Pit
\m/

[pate]

I don't really like them.

[Nuke Broadcast]

i enjoy them on occasion.

and that emissions of the monolith tour looks ridiculous. who can give me a ride to the show?

[pixiesfanyo]

Matt Pike in RS.

lolol.

[Jondur]

In an attempt once more to turn up the doom in this thread....

I usually shy away from going over the top wqith proclaimations of the greatness of albums I have recently bought. However, I'm going to go out on a limb here...

Musically, the new Warning album "Watching from a Distance" is one of the greatest albums ever released. Lyrically it is the greatest.

If you have any pretensions of liking emotional and crushingly heavy metal then you MUST buy this album. I can't even begin to describe how moving and amazing this album is.

[repcak]

which band? Warning`? never heard of them... traditional doom metal or what?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Warning are Traditional Doom. I've got one of their previous full lengths and it's great so I'll have to check this out.

[repcak]

i never got a fan of traditional doom metal; i only like funeral and death-doom metal :D

[pate]

*checks out Warning*

[Txus]

Never heard of Warning, I will definitely look for them.

[the2stranger]

i never got a fan of traditional doom metal; i only like funeral and death-doom metal :D

:cool:

I like me some traditional doom at times as well though.

[Shattered_Future]

Man, the torrent for Warning isn't working...

*grumble*

[pate]

Traditional doom is my favorite. I enjoy funeral, and am quickly becoming a big fan of death-doom.

Would one of you gents care to upload some Warning?

[pixiesfanyo]

Angel Eyes - Something to Do with Death

Kind of a mesh of post-metal, doom, and black metal.

Really good.

They have a myspace.

[Shattered_Future]

Would one of you gents care to upload some Warning?

Seconded. Rep for he who does, and e-secks.

[RetiredAt21]

Angel Eyes - Something to Do with Death

I just checked them out, and I thought they were ****ing awesome.

[pixiesfanyo]

Yeah, the record is good.

[Kage]

Angel Eyes is like a lesser version of Rosetta.

[pixiesfanyo]

Angel Eyes is like a lesser version of Rosetta.

Rosetta reminded me alot of Isis when I heard them.

Angel Eyes only reminds me a tad of Isis.

[Hardhat]

Anyone listen to Mourning Beloveth? I have The Sullen Sulcus, and it's one of the better doom albums I've got in the last couple of months.

[Jondur]

Please don't upload any Warning albums. I know the guy who runs the label and he works hard and puts a lot of his own money into these releases. stealing from bands and underground labels is not cool.

Here's an old demo track http://www.miskatonic.cc/WARNING.mp3
and last time I checked there was a sample from the new album on the Miskatonic Myspace page.

If you like it then buy the album (If can't find a distro let me know and I'll give you contact details). Trust me you will not be disappointed.

[jva]

I really like Mourning Beloveth. I thought that the vocalist is the same guy from My Dying Bride, they really sound the same.

[Jondur]

There's two guys singing in Mourning Beloveth. Darren, who does the growls and Frank who does the clean vox. Frank is also in Old Season who are ace.

[jva]

Than it's Frank who I found sounding similar to Aaron Stainthorpe from My Dying Bride. I should be on the lookout for Old Season then. Thanks for the tip.

[Jondur]

Cool. I think the main difference between the two is that Frank can actually carry a tune.

You'll like Old Season. Great band.

[Iron Bars]

Is Old Season Traditional doom or Death/Doom?

[Jondur]

Neither. They're epic metal with keyboards and an overall celtic feel.

[actionfan32]

Anyone listen to Mourning Beloveth? I have The Sullen Sulcus, and it's one of the better doom albums I've got in the last couple of months.

I've heard a few songs from that album and they're really good. I'm planning on buying it soon.

[Shattered_Future]

Mourning Beloveth are pretty sweet. I remember NJMetalMeister whoring them out about...wow, almost a year ago, I think.

[pate]

Cool. I think the main difference between the two is that Frank can actually carry a tune.

You'll like Old Season. Great band.

Aaron can carry a tune...about as far as he could throw me, but he's still the man.

[knuckleduster]

I like his voice and stuff but what's with all the cracks? I guess it could add the feeling of agony to the music but listening to the live version of Your River makes me doubt that it's done on purpose. But then I have heard other bands do it as well, like While Heaven Wept. Is it common for doom singers voices to crack?

[Shattered_Future]

Aaron's a decent vocalist, but yeah, I have noticed his pitchiness on more than one occasion.

[Shattered_Future]

Yes, double post, but Solitude Aeternus is a TERRIFIC band. Their singer actually can carry a tune, which I haven't been able to find with a lot of doom. He reminds me a bit of Mats from Therion.

[knuckleduster]

Hey Shattered Future, do you ever listen to Ahab?

[the2stranger]

Ahab. \m/
They're in my top 3 funeral doom bands.

and I think Lowe will fit Candlemass better then Messiah.
I never got the big fuzz about Messiah.
I liked Johan better.
Epicus Doomicus Metallicuus is such a great album.

[pate]

Johan is miles ahead of Messiah, but Rob Lowe is miles ahead of both of them.

Chances are, I'll get to meet/hang out with Rob, and the rest of SA in two months. :p

[Txus]

I love Messiah :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

There is no way there will ever be anyone who could possibly fit Candlemass better than Messiah.

[pate]

I just don't like his vocals all that much.

[the2stranger]

Johan is miles ahead of Messiah, but Rob Lowe is miles ahead of both of them.

Chances are, I'll get to meet/hang out with Rob, and the rest of SA in two months. :p

Awesome. :eek:
Why is that?


I just don't like his vocals all that much.
^
That, I enjoy Messiah, but his style just isn't my favorite.
I love the occasional high pitches he pulls off though.
I wish I could do that. :(

[Shattered_Future]

Hey Shattered Future, do you ever listen to Ahab?

I tried once. I'm not that terribly big into funeral doom...I can listen to Shape Of Despair once in a while, but it's not something I'll listen to on a regular basis.

I thought the guy from Ahab used way too much reverb on his vocals, but other than that, they were pretty sweet.

[the2stranger]

I enjoy his vocals even though I can't tell what he's singing 90% of the time. :lol:

[pate]

Awesome. :eek:
Why is that?


They're co-headlining one night of a festival I'm going to...and all the bands stay in the hotel I'm staying in and party with everybody. :p

[knuckleduster]

Ahab. \m/
They're in my top 3 funeral doom bands.

Sweet, man. What are your top 3?

[Jondur]

Their singer actually can carry a tune, which I haven't been able to find with a lot of doom.

There's loads of doom bands with great singers:

Penance (check out spiritualnatural - Butch is one of my favourite singers)
Solstice - both vocalists were great
While Heaven Wept - and he can pull it off live. He did one bad gig that I've heard of.
Candlemass
Thunderstorm
Mirror of Deception
Well of Souls (US)
Dennis cornelius era Revelation
etc etc.

Doom is built on great vocals

[the2stranger]

Sweet, man. What are your top 3?

Shape Of Despair, Ahab and Fallen I think.
Not too sure though, cause almost all funeral doom rules. \m/

[ATM]

Apparently Wino was a few people behind me at the Mastadon show, I had no idea :-/

[Hardhat]

Isole has my favorite vocals in the genre.

[pate]

Apparently Wino was a few people behind me at the Mastadon show, I had no idea :-/

:o Shame you didn't notice.

[the2stranger]

I love going to small shows, cause you almost always have the chance to talk to the artists afterwards.

[Phototropic]

yeah i much prefer smaller shows to big ones

plus most of the swansea bands are amazing so I'd choose them over a lot of bands from elsewhere anyway so i don't often feel the need to go to a bigger show

Brant Bjork always seems to have intimate shows, went to see one in Cardiff and it rocked, hes so chatty and cool

[Hardhat]

What's a good Novembers Doom album to start on? I have To Welcome The Fade and I'm not really liking it, maybe there's something better?

The reason I'm trying to get into them is because my guitar teacher was going to start a band with the Rhythm guitarist for Novembers Doom, but they broke up upon meeting each other. Just thought I'd check out the band, though.

[Poofy 666]

Go eat a cupcake fatty.

Finally checked Boris out. I got Pink. Which one should I get next?

[Bartender]

Depends which bits of what they do you like. Akuma No Uta is like a condensed Pink (or at least, on hearing Pink, it struck me as an expanded Akuma No Uta; I assume it works both ways), only much better. Feedbacker is my other favourite, and it's basically one 45 minute song, drenched in feedback.

I prefer The Pale Haunt Departure and The Novella Reservoir (the new one). You're going to Powerfest, right?

[Hardhat]

Yeah, I am. That's the other reason I wanted to get into them.

[pate]

They're an excellent band and cool guys. :thumb:

This is just the doom thread these days :( don't see any talk of stoner or anything less miserable, bring back the kyuss chat!

anyone heard Taint?

This is just the slow death metal thread these days :( don't see any talk of doom or anything less rubbish , bring back the St Vituschat!

anyone heard Count Raven?

I hate people who do that.

If you want more traditional-esque doom (it's not trad doom at all...it's just more doom-like), Amid It's Hallowed Mirth or Old Sculpted Ivy And Stone Flowers are pretty cool. Personally, I think their new one is the best I've heard so far though.

King Crimson really aren't stoner or doom, so far as I know. Those look like good videos, though.

king crimson, the new DOOM METAL GAWD

[Jondur]

They're closer than Sunn O))

Listening to Swallow the Sun for the first time, I like it quite a bit.

All the Evoken I have is Quietus. How does that compare with Antithesis?

[Hardhat]

Both are great. But I've listened to Antithesis alot more.
