Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[rippa32]

Well, I guessed that, I was just interested in what sort of music store Wino would go to. Wow that sounded a lot creepoer than it meant to be.

[Txus]

Drawing Down The Sun is one of the best Doom albums I've heard.

[Werny]

don't you think that Anathemas song "Deep" is one of their best?

What album is it on?
I've only got Pentecost III, Serenades, Crestfallen and The Silent Enigma.
Can't go past Pentecost, that's a classic. Mine Is Yours to Drown In is a ripper.

[Kyle]

This thread is for stoner and doom metal, not just "stoner/doom metal"Yeah, but why were these genres ever grouped together as a thread in the first place?

[Roy.]

can someone post some music by the gates of slumber again?

i have been putting off downloading it and forgot about link in my rep disappearing. :lol: :(

[Iron Bars]

Yeah, but why were these genres ever grouped together as a thread in the first place?

Same origin, and overlap in styles.

[Phototropic]

Yeah, but why were these genres ever grouped together as a thread in the first place?

exactly my point

and i'd hardly say they overlap...they're nothing alike

Kyle, u still in Cardiff? u gonna see bomb the sun tonight?

[Poofy 666]

I remebered listening to their album some time back so I just listened to it again. They'll be on my to watch list for sure.

They just got added to Wacken :)

Drawing Down The Sun is one of the best Doom albums I've heard.

Yeah, I like the vocals. Very good album.

[Roy.]

Yeah, but why were these genres ever grouped together as a thread in the first place?

yeah if anything i thought that stoner would go more with sludge than doom.

[pate]

Sludge and doom are very close as well.

[Roy.]

goddamn confusing sub genres!

[RetiredAt21]

I love sludge. Noothgrush FTW.

[Jondur]

Drawing Down The Sun is one of the best Doom albums I've heard.

I hope you bought it

And to the guy wanting to rip The Gates of Slumber and I Hate records - piss off. go to Myspace and listen there.

[pate]

You aren't the internet police. Piss off yourself.

my computer doesn't work right with myspace's player,otherwise i would have done that already.

not that i have to explain myself you piece of ****.

one,i didn't even ask for an album,just some songs to get an idea of the sound. someone gave me the album without me asking.

two,if bands who are trying to get their music out there would have the ****ing music set to download than i wouldn't even have to ask.

****er.

:eek: calm down...?

the bands that are on tiny independently run labels, depend on people buying the CDs to survive...so if you really like them its a good thing to do to help them out

[Roy.]

ARE YOU NOT ****ING LISTENING!

i haven't even heard anything by them. someone was mentioning them and i was going to check them out. i went to myspace but the player didn't work so i asked for a few songs. someone uploaded an album. i just want to see if someone can reupload it or can they just put up a few songs.

SO ****ING READ NEXT TIME!

****ing retard ****ing mx ****ers!

i am so sick of you cunts!

i have no idea why i even come to this cumsucking shithole!

****ing ban me for all i care!

[ATM]

Wow...

[Nepenthe]

I think this problem runs deeper than music uploading.

[Roy.]

yeah it does.

way deeper...

i apologize.

[ATM]

Why are you getting so wound up over a forum? Relax, man.

[Roy.]

it is not about the forum.

I basically am going nuts.

sooooooo...

yeah this is not my blog so we return you to your regular stoner/doom talk now.

sorry again.

[Phototropic]

wow haha sorry, touched a nerve there?

[Kage]

It's aight, Roy.

[One of a Kind]

Mael Mórdha anyone? haha They're excellent Celtic Doom Metal from Ireland. I suggest you check out any of their ****, as all of it is good.

[pixiesfanyo]

do they doom about st patrick? or is it IRA funded?

[Jondur]

You aren't the internet police. Piss off yourself.

No I'm not but I have experienced being in a band and trying to get the money together to record and release music. For example, the first MCD I did with one band sold well and the money we made from that allowed us to go to Academy Studios with Mags and record another one. The second MCD got much better reviews, more people came to the gigs, more people were talking about us and raving about the CD but yet somehow we sold less. What happened? Three years and Soulseek.

I know many people who run small labels (you know, the labels that we rely to release the music we love - not Nuclear Blast etc) and they've all told me how much sales have gone down and how much they're struggling to make enough money to release records now.

This stuff really gets to me - to me its the equivalent of seeing some pretty flowers in a garden, ripping them out of the ground to take home - yes now you may have some pretty flowers but next time you go back there won't be any flowers. Crap analogy maybe, but if you love the music then you really have to support it.

I picked on Txus then partly as a joke because if you don't buy "Drawing down the Sun" I don't get any royalties!

Roy: I apologise if I misunderstood you. I wholeheartedly agree that Myspace is gayer than Elton John's favourite vase and wish bands would go back to having proper websites. I reckon you can take a risk with The Gates of Slumber though - if you like proper heavy metal with doomy elements, cues from Manowar and Cirith Ungol then I promise you will like them.

[Roy.]

i understand. my interest though is not to steal music. i just wanted to hear something before i buy it and it is hard when they only have one place for clips and that place doesn't work for me.

i'm not one of these people that just downloads all and puts it on their Ipod. i have dial-up and no mp3 player. so most of my stuff comes from actual albums.

[rippa32]

I totally understand what you mean. I often download the odd song to get a feel and if I was a recording artist that would never bother me. But I have seen people download entire albums and discographies at a time (even dial-up for one of them) and it really pisses me off, and they reason that they have enough money already. But doom metal bands and other bands that arn't so mainstream are vary rarely "rich".

[Jondur]

But then again there artists who happily offer up their music for free download and in those cases you should go for your life. And here's a great example:

http://www.againstnature.us/BH/Artists/Argus/Argus.htm

Argus are the new band of ex-Penance vocalist Butch Ballich. Not wholly doom but all heavy metal with doomy elements and massive vocals. Enjoy!!

[ATM]

Sounds cool, thanks.

[the2stranger]

Mael Mórdha anyone? haha They're excellent Celtic Doom Metal from Ireland. I suggest you check out any of their ****, as all of it is good.

Yeah, I like them, very good stuff.
I enjoy the fact that it's not just celtic stuff, but also some straight up metal.
A lot of bands that wander off into a certain style (like Celtic, Gothic etc) seem to put the fact that they're metal in second place and just play with stylistic elements for the sake of it and not because it fits the music.

[ATM]

Hey man, how's Norway?

[the2stranger]

Great. :D
I've been traveling quite alot already, been to Bergen, Stavanger and next week going to Oslo and in June to Trondheim.
But it's really great. I'm having the time of my life.
And then to think, one third of my time here is already done. :(

How are you doing? :)

[ATM]

Ah, I'm jealous of you.

Lillehammer is great, I went snowboarding there and had a blast.
Bergen is really cool how the village is right on the side of the mountains and the fjords are beautiful. I played in a basketball tournament there.
Oslo is where I lived! Let me know when you go I'll tell you the best places to go.

[Iron Bars]

Just picked up my copy of the new Warning album. Pretty expensive import, but worth it.

NP: Swallow the sun - Too cold for tears

[Shattered_Future]

That's the one song I don't like off of that album...

[Iron Bars]

It's not my favorite but I don't think it's a bad song either. Doomed to walk the earth is my favorite at the moment.

[the2stranger]

I read your message too late, I went to Oslo yesterday.
But I had a pretty good time.
Went to the Hardrock cafe, to Elm Street (another rock/metal bar), Vigelandsparken, some CD stores (bought Ulver - The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, and Perdition City) and just walkedaround this nice city, since it was beautiful weather.
Bergenis indeed awesome and I'm stil having great time in Lillehammer.

On topic:
Anyone like the Funeral Orchstra?
A Swedish, you guessed, funeral doom band.
Pretty good.
:)

[Poofy 666]

I've been listening to Officium Triste's Reason lately. Very My Dying Bride-ish sounding, but they manage to not be a carbon copy. I'm liking it so far.

Apocalyptic Trance Ritual has one of the most addictive FDriffs I've ever heard.
Not realy a huge fan of the ocals, but it's quality fd still.
Do you have the full length?

[RetiredAt21]

Someone sent me like 4 songs and I don't know the names of any of them.

[RetiredAt21]

http://www.myspace.com/ouroborosrising

Does anyone else besides me like March Into The Sea?

[Txus]

Love them, I love everything with SEA at the end :p

[RetiredAt21]

Awesome. You're the only other person I know that likes that band.

[Shattered_Future]

I do like them, I just wish they had fuller production.

[RetiredAt21]

I love the rawness of the production. I love raw production.

[Shattered_Future]

I think the raw production complements them much better than other bands, but I just wish it had a fuller sound. Everything sounds distant and tinny...not crushing enough.

[RetiredAt21]

Ah, I see what you mean, and I agree completely. If they sounded as crushing and claustrophobic as Moss, then they'd be one of my favorite bands.

[Shattered_Future]

Moss...

Care to provide some linkage?

[RetiredAt21]

http://www.myspace.com/cthonicrites

I highly recommend the first song. It's incredible.

New March Into The Sea song up. It's pretty good, I like it.

It was only like $2.25, but that's still pretty dumb.

No, the rules of the transaction stated that I am not allowed to change it, and if I do they'll just change it back.

[americanfootball]

I just got Oracle by Sunn0))). I'm only a minute into 70-something, but it's good so far. ;)

[ATM]

I listened to a bit of that this morning.

[the2stranger]

I didn't know Sunn O))) had a new efort out.
Dammit M-A is down, so no info . :(

What kind of Sunn do I need to expect, a continuation of Black one?

[americanfootball]

It's more like the White albums.

[the2stranger]

Sounds good. :D
My Wall is probably my favorite Sun song.

[pate]

I cannot get into drone at all.

[americanfootball]

Yeah, me and a few guys at college are doing a tribute to Sunn0))) by trying a My Wall-type song for our final project.

[repcak]

i know only Sunn O))). i don't know any other drone.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've never really bothered with drone besides a little Sunn O))). It doesn't really interest me.

[the2stranger]

I cannot get into drone at all.

What drone have you tried?
Youmight like Marzuraan, which I uploaded for the DU 2 months ago or something.
Not sure if the link is active.
Also in general ambient drone is a good gateway to get into the heavier (well, drone is all about heavynress but whatever :p) drone.
Jesu, Nadja, check those out.

To American Football. That sounds really cool.
Do you have anyone that can pull of vocals like that?
Keep us informed. :)

I've tried Sunn O))), Earth, and a few others. I didn't like any of it.

[repcak]

do you know a good torrent site where i can get Marzuraan for example?

[the2stranger]

No, can'thelp you on that one.
You might try and see if the link is still active, or you'll have to wait for me to get back home.
I have it on my pc at home.

[AlienEater]

I need to get some Earth

[the2stranger]

Get EARTH 2 Special Low Frequency Version.
I love that one.

[RetiredAt21]

Moss is awesome. So is March Into The Sea.

[the2stranger]

We know. :p

But really, I should listen to Moss some more, good band.
Not really familair with March Into The Sea, except for some samples on myspace.

[ATM]

Been enjoying the Funeral Orchestra.

I jammed with a friend of mine who is big into Funeral Doom 2 days ago and my ears are still ringing. I hope I didn't damage them.

[RetiredAt21]

The Funeral Orchestra rules.

Does anyone like Mournful Congregation? Probably my favorite Funeral Doom band.

[the2stranger]

ArrestThisMan:


That sounds great.
The Funeral Orchestra is very nice indeed, good to hear you're enjoying them.

I've never had a fd jam though, should be awesome. :D

Does anyone like Mournful Congregation? Probably my favorite Funeral Doom band.
Love them.
They were my first ever fd band I think.

[ATM]

Yea I had my guitar tuned down a couple steps and we played for about 2 hours.

[RetiredAt21]

I wish I could down-tune my guitar so I could play this stuff. My guitar causes me so many headaches. I need to get a different guitar so I can down-tune.

[soap402]

Sunn o))), Earth, Boris

is all you need for drone

what did you guys think of Altar?

[Daven]

I never gave Altar a fair chance, though I did like some songs.

[the2stranger]

Altar is great stuff.
Although I would rather call it a split then a collaboration, because you clearly hear which songs are written by Boris and which by Sunn O))).

But still very good, nice atmosphere and completely unexpected actually.
I expected something completely different, but I guess that's the power of Sunn and Boris.
:p

[americanfootball]

As brilliant as Sunn0))) and Boris are, I thought Alter was dissapointing.

[Iron Bars]

My favorite drone band is Teeth of the Lions Rule the Divine, which is Sunn0))) with Lee Dorian and a drummer.

[the2stranger]

TOTLRTD is pretty awesome.
The addition of the vocals is very good.

My favorite drone band is Nadja. :)

[americanfootball]

My favorite drone band is Teeth of the Lions Rule the Divine, which is Sunn0))) with Lee Dorian and a drummer.

That and a drummer is Justin Greaves who was responsible for the band and he wrote the songs. ;)

My Wall \m/
So hypnotizing and dark.

i don't even have My Wall... on which album can i find it?

[ATM]

2stranger, do you like Pantheist?

[repcak]

Pantheist is good... Shape of Despair is better :)

[the2stranger]

White1.
Great album. :D

2stranger, do you like Pantheist?
Yes, Pantehist is great.
I love the deep vocals and the chant like feeling it gives me.
Great use of organs too.
I still feel bad for missing them when I had the chance. :(

[RetiredAt21]

You guys like Corrupted?

[the2stranger]

No,I don't like them... I ****ing LOVE them.
El Mundo Frio is so great.

[RetiredAt21]

**** yeah, dude. Love that band, but I haven't even heard that much by them.

[the2stranger]

El mundo Frio is my favorite.
But the others I have are also great.
Llenandose De Gusanos is probably oneof the most scary things I've hear din my life.
Paso Inferior is also ace and Se Hache Por Los Suenos Assesinos.
Man, I can't get enough of these weird japanese guys.

[Shattered_Future]

I have some Corrupted...never had time to listen to it. Maybe I should remedy that problem.

[RetiredAt21]

Could someone upload a whole Corrupted album? I would really appreciate it.

[Phototropic]

why not just buy it ?

[Kyle]

Has anybody seen Boris or Isis live? They are playing in London in July and I'm debating whether to go or not.

I love both bands in moderation, but I'm a bit worried Isis will attract an audience full of wankers seeing as they're headlining. I'll probs go anyway, depends how I'm doing for money.

[ATM]

I'd definantly go. Do Isis have annoying fans or something?

[Kyle]

Oh I dunno really, I just hate shows where the whole fanbase is full or obnoxious 'metalheads' who don't allow any room for people to stand close to the band and not got involved in their testosterone fuelled shoving games. I know to expect a bit of pushing and stuff going to a gig like that, but I'd like to be able to at least concentrate on the gig and not sacrifice too much position.

I'm probably the least metal person in the world, by the way.

[Nostalgia]

Isis have really calm shows. It was really tame when I saw them with Jesu.

[RetiredAt21]

Isis is pretty good.

I'd imagine people moshing harder to something like Boris.

[Concubine]

Isis have really calm shows.

this

when i saw them, there were a bunch of metalheads but they were okay. They just headbanged during the 'heavy' parts. I did this too :)

I saw Boris in Birmingham. Very loud/noisy, but great. They played most of their uptempo stuff.

[Hardhat]

Just read this and freaked out:

http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=26128

Katatonia and Swallow The Sun touring the US...:eek:

[the2stranger]

Could someone upload a whole Corrupted album? I would really appreciate it.

Sure.
Do you already have anything by them?

why not just buy it ?
Because it's very difficult to find anything by them.
They're on a Japanese label and a lot of their releases are limited/out of print.
I'm happy to have two original CDs by them.

[Kyle]

Ok sounds good about the Boris/Isis shows guys, I'll probably go.

[the2stranger]

Damn.
I saw last week that Nadjawill be touring Europe.
And of course they will tour the Netherlands, but then I'm still in Norway. :mad:
And they won't tour in Norway. :mad::mad:

Oh well, I'm hapy to be here anyway.

ANyone like Dolorian?
Pretty twisted, sickly and somewhat psychedelic/bad trip doom metal/black metal.

[Iron Bars]

I just looked up Bloody Panda on MA and saw they had released an album last month. Did any of you guys hear is already?

[Concubine]

the same Bloody Panda who released a split with Kayo Dot? interesting

ive been listening to Esoteric a lot. I normally can't stand funeral doom because well, it's boring. But i find that when im in the right mood, its kinda cool =D

[Iron Bars]

Yep that would be the one. One of the tracks was on their myspace for download a few months ago. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the album.

[ATM]

I'm enjoying FD quite a bit lately.

[the2stranger]

I'm enjoying funeral doom as always. :cool:
But that won't bea surprise for anyone. :p

Talking of Esoteric, I'm looking forward to their new album. :D
Hope it will be even more twisted then Subconcious Disollution..

You don't joke around about suicide in the doom metal thread.

[RetiredAt21]

Esoteric is great.

[the2stranger]

^
You know it.
Damn, but I really wonder about the new album, they been saying there will be a new album for a long time already.
I need new Esoteric.

[Dimmu Burger]

I got the new November's Doom cd recently and I really enjoy it. I see myself getting more into this genre.

[the2stranger]

November's Doom are pretty good indeed.
I really enjoy them.
Toobad Ihadto miss them when they were playing.
Or well, I saw the opening bands (Saturnus and Agalloch), but had to leave to get my last train back home.

[pate]

ND is amazing, as is Saturnus. I saw both a few weeks ago.

[Shattered_Future]

stfu pate. :mad:

Man, I gotta get tickets to that tour...

[Poofy 666]

Novembers Doom bored me with To Welcome the Fade, so I havent checked out their new one.

Guess I'll be seeing Swallow the Sun live twice :D

[Daven]

Yeah, ND bored me too.

[Nepenthe]

If all of their songs sounded like Broken off of To Welcome The Fade, they would be good. Unfortunately, neither of these things is very true.

[pate]

Their newest album, The Novella Reservoir is very kickass. I like TNR and The Pale Haunt Departure more than TWTF.

[metal-militia]

Olny 2 weeks until I get to see Trouble :chug:

I played Cathedral's- Forest of Equilibrium for the first time in a while the other day, and I'd forgotten how amazing it is. It's a shame the rest of Cathedral's stuff is not as good.

[pate]

No way. The Ethereal Mirror and The Carnival Bizarre are better than FOE.

[Shattered_Future]

I like The Novella Reservoir because they managed to craft something brilliant out of some of the simplest riffs ever.

Etheral Mirror is ace.

[pate]

TNR is my album of the year thus far.

[Txus]

The Garden Of Unearthly Delights is another good Cathedral album.

[ATM]

I love all of the ones I have heard.

[pate]

I agree with the last 3 posts.

[Iron Bars]

Supernatural Birth Machine is my favorite Cathedral album atm.

NP: Esoteric - Grey day

[Bartender]

To be honest I'm happy just listening to Hopkins over and over.

[ATM]

What's that?

[Bartender]

Cathedral song, "Hopkins (The Witchfinder General)". It's just a whole lot of fun.

[rippa32]

I only have Garden Of Uneartley Delights but I think it's a great album. North Berwick Witch Trials and Oro The Manslayer are awesome songs.

[Phototropic]

Going to see Isis on monday! can't wait, really really REALLY can't wait

love Isis so much, hope they play lots of Oceanic + Panopticon and not all Absence

anyone else seeing them ?

[AlienEater]

Cathedral song, "Hopkins (The Witchfinder General)". It's just a whole lot of fun.

yes

it's also good because in the video it has clips from the vincent price movie of the same name

[Bartender]

Yeah, the film/Vincent Price are always great, and Lee Dorrian dances around like a tit.

[AlienEater]

Haha yeah, he really does

and yeah, I love most Vincent Price movies. Most because I haven't seen them all. In fact I probably haven't seen many considering the amount of films he has been in

[metal-militia]

No way. The Ethereal Mirror and The Carnival Bizarre are better than FOE.

You've got to be joking! The Carnival Bizarre is still a very good album though, just not up to the same standard as Forest of Equilibrium.

[pate]

To be honest I'm happy just listening to Hopkins over and over.

I love that song. My band covered it in hilarious fashion on our last album. :lol: :lol:

I love Lee Dorrian, and sharing first names is cool too! :p

[rippa32]

I think there's something quite unique about his voice. If I heard it in a song I had never heard before I could pick it up straight away I reckon.

[Dimmu Burger]

I'm trying to educate myself about this genre so any help would be appreciated. Has anyone heard the new Poison The Well? Because it has this vibe/mood to it that makes me think of Doom Metal. I know they aren't a doom metal band, but it sounds like they may be influenced by the genre. Any thoughts?

[the2stranger]

From what I remember Poison The Well is more hardcore/emo stuff.
The fact that it has a somber sound doesn't persay make it doom metal or doom metal related.
Also I've never heard any reference to metal in PTW's music.

If you want to be educated on some doom metal check out Candlemass and the Cathedral recommendations above.
If you want some sub-sub genre recommendations let me know.
Lots of good doom/death, depressive black, drone, funeral, stoner and sludge to check out too.

[Dimmu Burger]

"Somber", That's a good word for it, thanks for your help!

[the2stranger]

No problem man. :)

np: October Tide - Infinite Submission
(great doom/death sideproject of Renske of Katatonia, too bad they quit. :()

[Nepenthe]

12 Days Of Rain is Katatonia worthy stuff.

[Txus]

Dance Of December Souls is becoming my favorite Katatonia album, simply amazing.

[Nepenthe]

It's been my favorite since the first time I heard it. It has the most amazing atmosphere of any release of any genre of any time.

I really dislike Brave Murder Day though, Mikael's 'cleaner' growls totally take away from the atmosphere. Renske's tortured screams are a huge part of what makes December Souls so mystic.

[Txus]

I don't share the same point of view with the Miakel "cleaner" growls since I love that album, and I think it's perfect with Mikael and blah blah blah. Still, DODS is great..probably my favorite Katatonia album but I prefer the new era as a whole.

[Poofy 666]

I like listening to Tomb of Insomnia when I walk around in the woods.

[Nepenthe]

Mikael's growl is just too by the books. Yeah, it is very good, but there's nothing different about it. Renske has a very unique voice, and it just fits perfectly with the music.

[Txus]

Velvet Thorns (Of Drynwhyl) has to be the best thing Katatonia has ever done man \m/

I'm goign to listen to that album after this !T.O.O.H.! album finishes kicking my ***.

[Nepenthe]

Gateways To Bereavement, In Silence Enshrined, and Without God are my favorite. Elohim Meth is very good too, for an interlude.

[Txus]

Without God is very good too. I want a Katatonia shirt with the old logo :(

[Nepenthe]

Without God is definitely Renske's best vocal performance, and the perfect example of how much better his voice fits into the old Katatonia atmosphere than Mikael's deep and clean growls.

[the2stranger]

Aah, katatonia, great great band.

Both eras are great although I really don't like Discouraged Ones.
All the songs sound the same on that album.

Ok people,where is the love for some funeral doom?
Quite a lot of people in here seemed to enjoy it a few months back, now it seem the love has died. :(

I uploaded Bloody Panda's full length for the DU, that's somegreat fd/sludge/avant-garde/whatever.

np: Nadja - Clinodactyl
All hail Nadja.

[Nepenthe]

I love funeral doom, but too much of it sounds the same, so I've all but completely halted further delving into it. I enjoy Thergothon and Evoken on a regular basis still though.

[Daven]

I dont know what happened to me, I got in this FD binge some time ago. I still listen to Tyranny and CV like every week, but not as often as i used to. I'll check the BP though.

Both are nice bands.

BP is really weird, they have a female vocalist, but for once it's not that annoying. :p
And it's just ugly and huge music.

I'm kind of curious about the new Fallen too, it'ssupposed to have a female vocalist too, but I prefer the low bassy voice on the debut by a longshot.

[Txus]

I love BP but the album you uploaded for the DU petey is in Megashit and that doesn't work for me. Thanks anyway :)

[Iron Bars]

Bloody Panda are great. I had my first Moss and Nadja encounter this week. Moss I like, Nadja not so much but I have Body Cage ready to listen too (for the first time) so I might change my mind.

Not doom related: after seeing Txus avatar I'm going to listen to some Vintersorg first.

Which Nadja did you hear?

np: Nadja - Blank.
:p

[Iron Bars]

Moss/Nadja split that was uploaded in the DU.

[the2stranger]

Then your thoughts should pobably change after hearing The Bodycage.
The production on the newer albums is just that much better and does way more justice to the music.
I think my favorite album is Thaumogenesis though.
One song, over an hour long, but so good and addictive.
That song really carries me away and when the CD stops, I want more. :p

np: Nadja - Sandskin
:cool:

[RetiredAt21]

Moss \m/

[Nepenthe]

Thaumogenesis is definitely Nadja's densest work.

The ending of Forgotten Tomb's Steal My Corpse might be one of the greatest moments in doom metal.

Any Forest Of Shadows fans? I just listened to Where Dreams Turn To Dust for the first time, and it's some exceptional stuff. Much better than the middle of the road doom I'm used to hearing.

[repcak]

i just listen to 'Sleep Mirrored' by Shape of Despair!

this is one of the moments in life, where you're so happy that bands like SoD exist... this song is so... perfect for this moment right now....
i could even cry...

[Txus]

They're my favorite FD band, they never get boring.

Angels of Distress is a perfect album IMHO.

[repcak]

yes, they are. Pantheist are good too, but whenever i have to decide between them i always choose SoD.

[the2stranger]

I love FoS, the full length Departure is also ace.
This guy makes some great music, but goes completely unoticed I feel.

yes, they are. Pantheist are good too, but whenever i have to decide between them i always choose SoD.Same.
SoD are great.
Angels Of Distress so amazingly good.

[Nepenthe]

Yes I was surprised at how solid Forest Of Shadows was, as I've never heard any one mention the name before. The violins are perfect. Not overdramatic and goth, just melancholic and beautiful. And it's nice to hear the flutes and violins not overused, as they are in practically everything else that uses them.

[repcak]

Sleep Mirrored is one of my fav. songs by SoD.

Angel of Distress - i had this even for a long time as my user title

[Phototropic]

Isis tomorrow !!!! can't wait

[Bartender]

I like Where Dreams Turn to Dust. It's good deathy doom stuff.

[metal-militia]

Just got Trouble's - Run To The Light off ebay. :chug:

np Saint Vitus - Ice Monkey

[pate]

Trouble is so awesome. I missed their show in Chicago last night, but a few friends went to it. I hear it was a good show.

[rippa32]

What are trouble like? Are they very similair to traditional doom like Saint Vitus, Pentagram etc?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yes.

[pate]

Yes indeed.

[Jondur]

Run to the Light is probably my second favourite Trouble album. It is often maligned by the fans but I think it's great.

Great, great, great band. Almost great enough to make me a Christian.

[rippa32]

Okay, Ill have to check em out. I love doom metal but it is so hard to find a place that will stock CD's. I went to a privately owned store specializing in metal and I ended up paying $35AUS for Mournful Cries.

[Shattered_Future]

Recommend me some good doom (any variety) or stoner metal with good production.

Aaaaand GO.

[rippa32]

Good production? Not alot of doom I have heard has good production. Ill give a couple of recommendations though. Pentagram and anything with Wino on it for Doom, Orange Goblin and Kyuss for Stoner. Alternatively just check out http://www.stonerrock.com they have Doom as well.

[Poofy 666]

The intro to Eternal Autumn is so beautiful. Where Dreams Turn to Dust is one of my favorite doom releases.

[pate]

Aaaaand GO.

Reverend Bizarre
Wall of Sleep
The Hidden Hand

[Txus]

Bongripper ASAP.

[Shattered_Future]

I should have been more specific. More obscure doom and stoner. :p

Wall Of Sleep, The Hidden Hand, Orange Goblin, and Bongripper all sound good though. I'll check those out.

[Txus]

More obsucre? Hmmmm try:

Magna Veritas
Orthodox
Aseida
Reino Ermitaño
Poema Arcanus
Burning Witch

Most of them are from Latin America, I've been getting into a lot of LA Doom/Stoner lately :)

[Kage]

Ufomammut

[Poofy 666]

Mar de Grises

[Shattered_Future]

Mar de Grises

Goood good band.

Thanks again guys.

[Kage]

I think some nice, raw Ufomammut will do you good next to that slick Swallow the Sun junk. ;)

[Txus]

Ufomammut has some trippy and nice artwork.

[Shattered_Future]

I think some nice, raw Ufomammut will do you good next to that slick Swallow the Sun junk. ;)

I'm not liking it. :smash:

[Kage]

Where have you even heard it already? Myspace?

[Txus]

If you can't find any of the bands I told you before, or some of them ask me...I can send some albums.

[Nepenthe]

Mammatus

[the2stranger]

Ufomammut is great, I love the spacey sound of the organs.
Haven't listened to them in a while though.
Should do so.

October Tide never fails on a rainy monday morning. \m/

[rattlehead42147]

is spiritual beggars any good?

[Nepenthe]

Yes, especially the self titled.

Mammatus is the best stoner rock band in existence though, for the person looking for recommendations.

[repcak]

give me some recommendations... what sort of "doom" are making the bands you mentioned above?

you know what kind of doom i like... not the traditional doom; i prefer "death doom" and "funeral doom" or just some sunn O))).

post your fav. bands out of the genres and which i can find on torrent :p that would be great.

[Poofy 666]

Here: http://ultranihil.blogspot.com/ :)

[Nepenthe]

Evoken is pretty much the greatest death doom band there is. Ablaze In Hatred is very good too.

There's a ton of great funeral doom bands, I'm not sure if you're well versed in the genre, but in case you're not look for Thergothon and Skepticism. If you are, though, Forgotten Tomb and Forest Of Shadows are the two best I've heard recently. There's another great one whose name eludes me. I know their cover art is something to do with a big ship. Poofy, help me, I think you know who it is.

[Poofy 666]

Ahab?

Forest of Shadows pwn.

Also check out Desire.

[Nepenthe]

No, it's something else. It's part of a trilogy I know. You can get it for free from somewhere. It's all about ports and the ocean and everything. The cover is really majestic looking.

[repcak]

hey, great homepage... need to bookmark it.

[the2stranger]

No, it's something else. It's part of a trilogy I know. You can get it for free from somewhere. It's all about ports and the ocean and everything. The cover is really majestic looking.

:-\
And it's funeral doom?
Then I should know about it..

Maybe Monolithe? who is releasing a trilogy.
Or Until Death Overtakes Me?
Swallow The Sun has a track called The Ship on their Ghosts Of Loss album, but nothing like that on the cover and not the same lyrical theme.

I'm listening to Longing For Dawn now, great Canadian funeral doom,with a lot of amient influences.
I love it.

[Nepenthe]

Maiden Voyage. That was it.

[the2stranger]

Maiden Voyage is indeed excellent. :D
This guy should really make another release.

But I recommend you to stay away from Amaranthine Trampler, hisother project.
Which seems like the project where he experimented with a lot of bad ideas and boring riffs, before giving us the wonderful The Journey Embarks.

[Phototropic]

Mammatus is the best stoner rock band in existence though, for the person looking for recommendations.

Nah, they're mediocre

I've heard better bands in my hometown

Colour Haze is the best stoner band in existence :)

[Shattered_Future]

Where have you even heard it already? Myspace?

Band's website.

And I lied. I don't like the guy's voice, but the music is nice and heavy.

[Kage]

Idk, you gotta hit up an entire album.

[metal-militia]

I'm going to see Trouble tomorrow :) Anyone jealous?

[repcak]

no, i don't even know them :p


btw. Kage... i won the tickets :D thx once again!

[Kage]

**** yeah, man. That's awesome. I hope you enjoy the movie.

[repcak]

yeah, i hope this too... i will tell you tomorrow evening how i liked it - its 22pm now; so in 26h ;)

[Txus]

Mammatus are really good Stoner, not the best though. Same with Colour Haze, I don't know which is my favorite Stoner band tbqh :(

Bongripper have been kicking my *** lately though.

And Maiden Voyage are really ****ing great. My 2nd favorite FD band after Shapes.

[Dimmu Burger]

I got a Solitude Aernus album the other day, but I haven't put it on my iPod yet. Any fans?

[Iron Bars]

Their pretty good. Sounds alot like Candlemass, especially the vocals when compared to Candlemass new album.

[metal-militia]

Solitude Aeturnus are great. I've been listening to Into The Depths of Sorrow a lot recently.
Trouble were fantastic last night and the set list was very good. I even managed to shake Eric Wagner's hand! :thumb:

[RetiredAt21]

I just lost all my music files on my computer, so if someone could be so kind as to upload Moss' "Cthonic Rites" for me, I would really appreciate it.

[Iron Bars]

I'm on it.

Edit: Check your rep

[Shattered_Future]

Their pretty good. Sounds alot like Candlemass, especially the vocals when compared to Candlemass new album.

Well, considering the guy from SA sings on Candlemass's new album, it's not suprising. :lol:

I love SA. One of the best doom metal bands out there.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm on it.

Edit: Check your rep

Thanks, dude. Much appreciated. :thumb:
