Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[rhcp pman]

Haha, I played Thergothon's Stream from the Heavens album at 200% speed - it's kind of interesting actually :). And as a last note:

Listen to Dolorian people!

Hey thanks for the recommendations, although I have a heard a bit of electric wizard and didn't like it much, also ive heard Grand Magus and I liked them would they be considered Doom?

Also whats the general attitude towards Pentagram in this forum? Not that it will change my opinion, I'm just curious.
Grand Magus is indeed considered doom metal. You might want to try giving Electric Wizard another go - they took a bit of time to grow on me.


The Obsessed
Saint Vitus
Candlemass
Orodruin
Trouble
Reverend Bizarre

Orodruin is bloody great. I love Pierced by Cruel Winds - that section from the middle to the end is so good.

I ended up getting Spirit Caravan - Elusive Truth.

Sweet album, and I've met Scott Weinrich
I haven't actually heard that album, but judging by Jug Fulla Sun, it should be pretty good.

[Activista anti-MTV]

Yeah, I found out about Kyuss because they jammed frequently in my area. Josh Homme went to my high school, and the CD "Welcome to Sy Valley" is in reference to an unincorporated land that is near where I live called (what do ya know) Sky Valley.

Really? How far apart did you guys graduate?

[Daven]

I just got Skepticism's Aeothe Kaear and its very good.

[Nuke Broadcast]

anyone like acid king?

stoner doom with female vocals :)


i like it quite a bit. only got busse woods and III, though.

[rippa32]

You might want to try giving Electric Wizard another go - they took a bit of time to grow on me.

Okay I will. Ill get Dopethrone like was suggested.

Btw I also started listening to my Pentagram CD, and I am loving it, Liebling is one hell of a singer and sometimes can even sound a bit like Ozzy Osbourne, I really noticed that in the song "Relentless"

[Luc214]

The albums I have:

Stoner/Doom Electric wizard - Dopethrone

death/doom Swallow The Sun - The Morning Never Came

Yeah, great band. Epicurean Mass is awesome. and the split with Reverend Bizarre is also great.

[rhcp pman]

The albums I have:

Stoner/Doom Electric wizard - Dopethrone

death/doom Swallow The Sun - The Morning Never Came
You would probably like November's Doom.

Yeah, great band. Epicurean Mass is awesome. and the split with Reverend Bizarre is also great.
Yeah, the split is good. The annoying thing that I don't know how to categorise my doom splits - that split could go in the Orodruin folder or Reverend Bizarre. I might just put them all in one folder.

Has anyone heard Disembowelment? I've only heard good things about them, but I haven't got any of their albums yet.

[Werny]

Has anyone heard Disembowelment? I've only heard good things about them, but I haven't got any of their albums yet.

DUDE! You blaspheme! Get Transcendence Into the Peripheral now! Such atmosphere and also good brutal DM in there.

[Phototropic]

I'm going to see Brant Bjork tonight :cool:

Supporting him are a local band called Suns Of Thunder who are absoloutely amazing, can't wait

[rhcp pman]

DUDE! You blaspheme! Get Transcendence Into the Peripheral now! Such atmosphere and also good brutal DM in there.
Sure thing. I tried downloading it a while back, but I was kicked from the DC++ hub and I didn't even get away with a song...

I'll get it as soon as I can :).

[Kyle]

I'm going to see Brant Bjork tonight :cool:

Supporting him are a local band called Suns Of Thunder who are absoloutely amazing, can't waitAwesome dude. I missed the Brant Bjork show I wanted to go to, my friends wouldn't buy tickets with me. :angry:

[rippa32]

Go by yourself.

[Kyle]

Missed = past tense.

I would of normally, but I'm not exactly a huge fan, and it involved a bit of travelling. If it was a band that I had a huge interest in, then I would go on my own without hesitation, but I've never followed Brant Bjork's solo projects until the last month or so.

[ATM]

I'm going to see Brant Bjork tonight :cool:

I was talking with Suns of Thunder through Myspace and they were suppoused to find out how much it would cost to mail an album for me to USA. They never did :angry:

[Phototropic]

Yeah Brant wasn't that amazing, hes a cool cat an all but his music is lethargic

Suns of thunder kicked ***

ArrestThisMan

I'll try and speak to Greg about that for you, the albums pretty ace

[ATM]

Yea they said they would look into the price for shipping, etc

They were really experimental and out there, especially for their time (and especially for an aussie band). I wanna get one of the new shirts!

I thought Skepticism couldn't do any wrong. Then I heard the version of The March and the Stream from Lead & Aether...they butchered it!

[deadmetalbassist]

Does anyone know when any good stoner metal festivals are going to be? I found one in Cleveland, but it's already passed and I dunno if its an annual thing or not.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

np: Esoteric - Arcane Dissolution "Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum"

Esoteric, anyone?

[Super Wotan]

You'll find someone eventually Jono <3

[the2stranger]

Morphia is such an awesome track.
The intro is so intense and after that it only gets better.
I have it in my cd player as night time music now :lol:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I love The Blood Of The Eyes.

[Jondur]

Did a gig with Esoteric a bit ago. They made a lot more sense to me live than on record. Singer had a stupid "Madonna" headset mike though - looked very silly.

[Neoteric]

Kyuss are absolutely breath taking.

[the2stranger]

Did a gig with Esoteric a bit ago. They made a lot more sense to me live than on record. Singer had a stupid "Madonna" headset mike though - looked very silly.
Wow, cool to hear.
Do you enjoy their music?

[dfcslings]

Can someone recommend some good funeral doom in the likes of Nortt, Catacombs, Grivf, Thergothon etc...

Ive been really into this stuff lately.

[the2stranger]

Esoteric
Shape Of Despair
Skepticism
Comatose Vigil.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Can someone recommend some good funeral doom in the likes of Nortt, Catacombs, Grivf, Thergothon etc...

Ive been really into this stuff lately.
Wormphlegm

[Freezing Moon]

Esoteric is definitely one of my favorite "ultra slow death metal" bands. :p

Metamorphogenesis is the one I've given the most listens. The first song is hard to beat, when you're in the mood for that sort of thing.

NP: Witchfinder General - Love on Smack

[Werny]

np: Esoteric - Arcane Dissolution "Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum"

Esoteric, anyone?

Yes! Over here! Subconscious... is awesome, such an angry record. Epistemological Despondency is cool too, the second song is very grindcore/death. I wish they'd bring back the trippy stuff in their newer work.

They sound like a fearsome live band, people have been known to just sit down on the ground and take it all in. And don't they have like 7 members on stage (2 keyboards, 3 guitars, drum 'n' bass)?

[Jondur]

Do you enjoy their music?

I wouldn't go that far!:p

You could appreciate the power of their sound but all in all I wounldn't say I enjoyed it. There was a death/doom band on that night as well called Indesinence. Check em out if you like that kind of thing. Nice guys.

Werny: as far as I remember there was only 6 members - lots of distorted vocals as well.

In another Esoteric-related trivia - Their old drummer used to also play in another doom band called Unsilence. He was then replaced in Unsilence by a certain Mr J. Ondur

[Vegetaman]

I demands that this thread turns up the Candlemass and that Messiah rejoins them... Immediately.

[Daven]

Can someone recommend an album that sounds like Candlemass's EDM, please.

[Vegetaman]

Ummm... Ancient Dreams and their self/titled.

[pate]

Solitude Aeturnus, maybe?

[Poofy 666]

New Isole comes out tomorrow :eek:

[Nepenthe]

Everyone should check out Maiden Voyage now.

http://www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=25396

Think Thergothon.

[rhcp pman]

What other albums by Lacrimas Profunde should I pick up beside the one sent out on the Daily Upload?
I think that La Naissance d'Un Reve is a pretty good album, but like someone else said, get Memorandum.

[Luc214]

I think i've mentioned Swallow The Sun a few times in this thread.
I think they're pretty good.
A Doom/Death band from Finland.
Very good vocalst, I love his deep growls.
I've ordered Ghost Of Loss a while back, the special edition, with a dvd with a clip and some live material, it's good stuff, I can recommend it to fans of doom/death.
I love the lyrics to descending Winter, not all that special but they fit very well with the feel of the music:

Descending winters for all lands,
All hope is gone, in his hands.
out from the north, in to the south,
winter turned his frozen mouth


Swallow The Sun is great.

Their best song is Through Her Silvery Body.

[Werny]

There's always been a lack of Skepticism talk here. What are people's thoughts on them?

I still need to get Aes, Lead & Aether and The Process of Farmakon. No one has them! I've heard most of Lead & Aether though, it's brilliant.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got the Aeothe Kaear demo, and it's pretty good. I've only given it a quick listen so far, though.

[Werny]

I've got the Aeothe Kaear demo, and it's pretty good. I've only given it a quick listen so far, though.

I've got it downloading. If you like that, maybe get Stormcrowfleet (which has re-recorded versions of some songs from the demo) or Lead & Aether for something more artsy and better produced.

[rhcp pman]

I'm actually listening to Stormcrowfleet right now - it's wonderful. :)

And Swallow the Sun is definitely a good band.

[the2stranger]

I wouldn't go that far!:p

I've heard of Unsilence, funny fact about the drummer. :lol:
Are you sure it just wasn't you in disguise?

I'll check out the other band too.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Unsilence are really good.

[the2stranger]

my distro doesn't carry any Unsilence though, and judging by the M-A page of them, it's hard to come by :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Here is a track: http://www.unsilence.co.uk/mp3/unsilenceoceans.mp3

[the2stranger]

Thank you. :)

[Luc214]

I like Electric Wizard

I don't know of any other stoner/doom bands.

[the2stranger]

Sleep \m/ and Kyuss.

[Luc214]

What's a good Witchfinder General album?

[Freezing Moon]

Death Penalty.

Friends of Hell is really cool too though.

[Steerpike]

Isn't anybody going to read my review of Candlemass' self-titled? Hell of a lot better than the first one.

[Nepenthe]

I did!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I did, nice review. I haven't heard the album yet, though.

[Luc214]

Whoa. Just heard some Sunn O)))

It's scary.

[TheOpethAffinity]

I've been listening to a couple tracks from My Dying bride. is that funeral doom? its pretty good. gives a despair-y, sad, metal-ized emo (not a bad thing) type of thing, pretty good. what are other bands like this?

ive heard sunn o. wow. steaming pile of crap. their songs are like a 15 min mess of low-low-tuned guitars strumming the same chord 10 times then moving on to another low chord.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

My Dying Bride are Death/Doom.

[the2stranger]

One should not generalize like that, statements like that could e made about every genre.
black metal: Just some guys who can't afford decent recording equipemnt.
death metal: Just playing as fast and hard as you can while just screaming words no one can understand.
rap: just some dudes talking endlesly over a beat.

Drone just requires objectivitiy as every other genre.
It's good stuff imo.

and MDB is great doom/death \m/

[Werny]

I'm actually listening to Stormcrowfleet right now - it's wonderful. :)


Lead & Aether is much better, so is Farmakon. Stormcrowfleet is so lo-fi.

On their later stuff they really show off their talent for creating minimalist soundscapes.

I just got Aes, it sounds brilliant. Has anyone got The Process of Farmakon or the 5th track from Lead & Aether (-Edges-) for upload? That's all I need.

I myself am not a fan of Candlemass' self titled. In fact, a lot of it is just annoying. I love Witches, the start of Assassin of the Light and The Man Who Fell From the Sky though.

[repcak]

MDB is death-doom, yes, though funeral doom uses growls too it creates a different atmosphere through music.
listen to shape of despair to get a feel, what funeral doom is....

[the2stranger]

Yes!
Shape Of Despair.
DFuneral doom is different from normal doom mainly because of the speed, of lack there off.
It's even more slow than regualr doom and creates an even denser atmosphere by layering.
normal doom does this too, but it's more clear in funeral.

[repcak]

yeah, the more i listen to funeral doom the more i like it... and i love shape of despair

[the2stranger]

It took me ages to get into funeral doom and drone, but now I love it.

np: Draconian - The Cry Of Silence (exellent doom/death)

[Daven]

Can someone recommend me albums like Aeothe Kaear by Skepticism.

Draconian is great BTW.

[Txus]

Draconian is amazing, I can't get into Funeral Doom/Drone for a reason...I've tried and tried :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't mind Funeral Doom, but I much prefer Traditional.

[Nepenthe]

Funeral Doom is godly. Daven, check out Maiden Voyage. I posted a link for his album on AR's free downloads thread.

[Daven]

Thanks, ill check them out.

[repcak]

i could never get into traditional doom metal... i simply don't like it... for me its just old school heavy metal.

[the2stranger]

Anthony: How do I download this album?
I'm on the site, but ...?

[Nepenthe]

Yeah, I had a hard time getting them too. Just bring up the thing where you can choose mp3 or something else, and instead of just clicking on the mp3 picture thing, right click it and 'save link as'. It's some weird type of file, but Winamp will play it. Just do that for all four songs.

[the2stranger]

Thanks, it's working now :)

[Nepenthe]

No problem. It's real good stuff, very Thergothonian. But don't let that dissuade you Daven, since I know you don't like Thergothon too much, as Maiden Voyage is excellent.

[Daven]

Haha, im currently downloading it. I think ill like it.

[the2stranger]

I'm d/líng the last track, should be good :D

[Nepenthe]

It has such a rich atmosphere. The cover art and song titles are both perfect for the music. Very befitting.

[the2stranger]

The cover art looks awesome indeed.
Good art can add so much to an album.

[Luc214]

Sunn O))) have atmosphere though.

[the2stranger]

yes, they have huge atmopshere.
Sunn O))) is great.

[Daven]

Sunn O))) are very good. Black 1 is my favorite album by them.

[Nepenthe]

Black One is definately their best. I love Sunn, but I can easily see how alot of people would be bored by them. They are an acquired taste.

[the2stranger]

I haven't listened toBlack One in a while.
I love White one too, My Wall = :eek:

[Luc214]

Sunn O))) are very good. Black 1 is my favorite album by them.

Would you mind uploading it to metaloz? I just noticed you have it.

[Daven]

Sure man. I'll do it in this upcoming week.

[the2stranger]

If I remember correctly, Oz has some Sunn O))) in his inbox at this moment, not sure which album though.

[Daven]

I just looked through one of his emails, and yes he has some Sunn waiting to be sent. So i'll wait to see if its B1.

[Kage]

Black One is definately their best. I love Sunn, but I can easily see how alot of people would be bored by them. They are an acquired taste.
Eh, it's not that I find them boring (hell, I love Boris in their most droning moments, and a good deal of the music I listen to requires a lot of patience), but I think they just sound really bad and they really grate on me.

[Nepenthe]

What albums have you heard Kage?

I honestly didn't like them until I heard Black One. After listening to that for awhile I got into their earlier stuff as well.

[the2stranger]

I like most Sunn O))), I just think the Grimrobe Demos is horrible.

[Daven]

This Maiden Voyage is quite good! Thanks for the recommendation Q.

[repcak]

flight of the behemoth is great too (beside of black one -> i have a black one t-shirt :p ) - the keyboard part in one of the songs is amazing. i was like :eek: when i heard it for the first time

[the2stranger]

I make some Drone on my keyboard from time to time, I must do that with headphones though, otherwise I will blow up the speakers :(
keyboard drone is awesome :)

[Nepenthe]

This Maiden Voyage is quite good! Thanks for the recommendation Q.

Don't mention it.

Yeah, they are very good. I love the vocals.

[ATM]

So I shall be seeing Boris with Sunn O))) soon :-D

[Kage]

****ing great. I'd kill to see Boris.

I've heard Black1 by Sunn, and I hate that album.

[Nepenthe]

****ing great. I'd kill to see Boris.

I've heard Black1 by Sunn, and I hate that album.

Hm, that's the one that really made me appreciate them. Guess they're just not your thing.

[ATM]

Have you guys heard the Boris and Merzbow collaboration?

[rhcp pman]

Haha, I thought you guys were talking about Herbie Hancock's album called Maiden Voyage (it's a sweet jazz album). :lol:

But anyway, I'll have to hear this band... I haven't heard that much funeral doom yet, but I've listened to so much doom in such a short space of time that I'll probably swallow the genre whole :D.

It's now one of my favourite genres - there's just so much to be said for it.

[Jondur]

i could never get into traditional doom metal... ... for me its just old school heavy metal.

And I fail to see the problem with that! :chug:

I said sometime ago (in another thread) that all metal should ultimately relate to, or promote, beer and headbanging. Anything else leads to mawkish introspection, pseudo-intellectualism and a distinct lack of metalness.

[repcak]

And I fail to see the problem with that! :chug:

well, you forgot to mention long hairs :p

[the2stranger]

Cool, if my mind is not fooling me the thread has been merged?

Whore:
My Draconian review:
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_8466

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, they've been merged.

[Werny]

Aeothe Kaear is amazing! I warn people; on Stormcrowfleet there's no fast parts, it's all rather sluggish, and The Everdarkgreen and Pouring are seperate songs.

All good metal involves relation to beer? Maybe that's why I've never really been able to get into trad doom, I've never drank in my life, haha.

[Jondur]

Yeah, they've been merged.

Merged with what? Which threads?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Inpropagation's "Let's talk about Doom Metal!" (or whatever it was called) has been merged into this one.

[AA-12]

I just got Epicus Doomicus Metallus (sp?wtf). It's amazing

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Awesome.

Have you got Nightfall yet? >:[

[americanfootball]

Have you guys heard the Boris and Merzbow collaboration?

Sun Baked Snow Cave? I'm not really into Merzbow, although I liked Merzbirds. It's nice to listen to now and again. I think I've managed it about three times, but I get bored of it after a while.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damn Josh, just the mention of Candlemass has made me want to listen to Nightfall!

np: Candlemass - The Well of Souls

[AA-12]

Awesome.

Have you got Nightfall yet? >:[
Negative

I'll get it soon enough.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's so good.

You know it has the song Nile got that riff from, right?

[AA-12]

What?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The opening riff in Unas Slayer of The Gods is a Candlemass riff.

[pate]

Candlemass is great.

[ATM]

Their Sabbath medly is pretty lame, IMO.

[pate]

So what. I always thought of it as just a 'for fun' thing, not something they really practiced.

[ATM]

I was just saying. I like them otherwise :)

[pate]

Good.

NP: Well of Souls

[rhcp pman]

It's so good.

You know it has the song Nile got that riff from, right?
Yeah, when I heard first Unas Slayer of the Gods, I knew it sounded familiar, then realised it was the Well of Souls riff.

[Kyle the 2nd]

Anyone like Halfway to Gone? I think Bartender reccomended them to me about half a year ago, but I only just got around to checking them out properlly. Anyways, they're really good.

http://www.myspace.com/halfwaytogone

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Wats Sun O))) best album.

[the2stranger]

Black one or White One.

[Nepenthe]

Black One.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

I got black one but some songs kinda get boring to me. But it does have to be listened to as a whole.

[the2stranger]

If you get bored by Black One don't bother to get any other albums.
Black one is thei easiest to get in to album, with short songs and a bit more coherent songwriting (for Drone that is :p ).
The Other albums are like 15+ songs most of the time.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

Oh haha, is it gonna take sometime for me to get into this music??? did it for u....

[Cravinov13]

All hail In The Woods..., Swallow The Sun, and Katatonia.

[Smackers]

Greenmachine from Japan is pretty ****in rocking. I wish they had come over with Boris.

[the2stranger]

Oh haha, is it gonna take sometime for me to get into this music??? did it for u....
It took me time to get in to it too, don't worry.
It's just black one is already their most accesible album, so make sure you can enjoy that before you check out other Sunn O)))

Also, you might want to check out Funeral Doom, it has the uber slow tempo of Drone, but with more melody, that might appeal more to you and makes it easier to get into the genre. :)

[ween2424]

Is there anyone heavier than Electric Wizard? If so, who?

[Jondur]

'Heavy' is a stupid descriptor. You can't measure heaviness. What is 'heavy'? Is it a thick, bass-heavy sound? If so then we'd all shut up after Crowbar or some gay... sorry I mean funeral doom band.

If 'heavy' means an apocalyptic feeling of doom, then Black Sabbath 'Black Sabbath' is heavier than anything released since.

I think you should all listen to Mirror of Deception. I had a very pleasant musical experience on my way to work listening to their excellent 'foregone' album. So much so though that I sat in the car park for an extra ten minutes just so I could listen to the sublime 'bleak' one more time.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If 'heavy' means an apocalyptic feeling of doom, then Black Sabbath 'Black Sabbath' is heavier than anything released since.
Haha, I was going to mention that song. Brilliant.

[Werny]

For ages I've searched for a Funeral Doom band that didn't try to turn it into something depressing and instead make really powerful, monolithic behemoth-like tunes.

Wormphlegm's Tomb of the Ancient King and Catacombs' In the Depths of R'lyeh have given me exactly that! Brilliant!

[the2stranger]

I'm not familair with them Werny, sounds good though.
I ordered some Funeral doom a few days ago, should be good:

Shape Of Despair - Illusion's Play
Skepticism - Farmakon
Mournful Congregation - Monad Of Creation

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That Mournful Congregation album is great.

[Phototropic]

Is there anyone heavier than Electric Wizard? If so, who?

My elephants band feat. Mr Rhino on drumkitz

Anything can be heavy, heavy is more of a feeling, like a lot of wizard riffs are crushing when the drums kick in but then again so is Ty Cobb by Soundgarden because its so fast and pounding

[Kage]

Anyone here ever heard Queen Elephantine? They're awesome, they've got two albums, the epic Ramesses and another self-titled one I believe. I'm not sure if they're exactly doom metal, but they're certainly some type of stoner/doom rock band. Really good stuff.

They do a lot of improvisational stuff, but I think they're working on another album which will be more composed. I like their spontaneity though. I believe they're touring Australia soon.

[the2stranger]

That Mournful Congregation album is great.
Good.
I only have one demo, I love it, so I decided to get the full length.
At first my distro didn't have it, but now they have 2 cds by them, the one I ordered and a best of/ compilation that also has the demo.
I might order it too in a bit

[Nepenthe]

Just got Evoken's Promo 2002!

[the2stranger]

Awesome, how's it like?

I'm really loving the Mournful Congregation full length.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The first track on that Mournful Congregation full-length is really good.

[the2stranger]

Indeed, the accoustic guitar arts are beautiful.
Have you heard the Tears From A Grieving Heart demo Jono?
It's really good too.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Nah, I haven't heard that.

[the2stranger]

I will try and upload it sometime.
You also on the Daily Upload list?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yes I am.

[the2stranger]

Alrighty.
:cool:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Thanks, Petey :cool:

[the2stranger]

No problem.

I'm listening to Skepticis's demo Aeothe Kaear.
It's very good, espially considering it's from '93.
I love the churchorgan like sound, adds so much to the feel.

np: The Everdarkgreen/ Pouring

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That's the only Skepticism I've heard. It's pretty good.

[the2stranger]

The newer stuff is cool too, it has the same atmosphere, but it sounds a bit more sick and psycho.
Aaa, funeral doom. :)

Anyone familair with Nadja?
It's an ambient drone project, My distro doesn't have the cd in stock.
I want the cd. :(

[Werny]

There's so many people that have only heard the demo, it's weird.

I wouldn't say new Skepticism has the same atmosphere...the newer stuff is like an acid-induced nightmare.

[the2stranger]

Maybe I didn't put it right, the atmopshere is indeed different, but you can still hear the typical Skepticism sound.
The new stuff is scary. :upset:
But so good. \m/

[Daven]

The only Skepticism ive heard is Aeothe Kaear and is very good.

[repcak]

never mind: i thought this is the community thread

[the2stranger]

We can be our own little community. :)
We need more doom heads.

I'm listening to some more Shape Of Despair. \m/

[repcak]

Shape of Despair is always a good choice :D

[the2stranger]

Indeed, I bought Illusion's Play last week.
Although i''s too early to compare, but I think I like Angels Of Distress better.
You?

[CabbageStabbage]

I heard a track from Earth's album HEX. It is goood. It feels like driving music.. if you're driving at 5 mph. What's a good album by Earth?

[TID22]

I'm not much into this genre but I can say that Kyuss is good stuff for when you are a little..."spaced out" you could say

[Kage]

Anyone heard Ufomammut? They're a seriously heavy, brooding Italian progressive doom metal band, and very cool. I've gotten into them lately, though sometimes their vocals are a bit overkill for me. Regardless, it's good stuff.

[Werny]

I think that's one of the best things about them. Every release has a mood and atmosphere of its own, yet it's all unmistakably Skepticism.

[the2stranger]

^
True.
My love for funeral doom lately has been insane.
I love it and need more, way more. :)

[Daven]

Can someone recommend me bands like Skepticism, please. I've been lately listening to a lotr of funeral doom as well.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Thergothon

[the2stranger]

Can someone recommend me bands like Skepticism, please. I've been lately listening to a lotr of funeral doom as well.
It's hard to recommend anything that really sounds like Skepticism, cause they have such a unique sound.
The obvious recommendation would be Thergothon, but I'm sure you know them already.
Comatose Vigil is something you might also try, a lot of sick keyboard stuff.
although not the churchorgan sound of Skepticism.

[repcak]

Pantheist?

i have them as mp3 but i don't know if they sound like skepticism cause i a) never listened to pantheist and b) don't now skepticism well. i only listened to shape of despair yet.

[the2stranger]

Shape Of Despair. \m/
I love these guys (and gal :p)
To Live for My Death is my favorite song by them.

[Daven]

I've already heard Thergothon. I have Streams From The Heavens, though i havent given it a good listen yet.

I'll look for Comatose Vigil, thanks.

[the2stranger]

I hope you can find it, if not I'll upload it for you.

[Daven]

If you could upload, you'd be my hero. :p I tried on soulseek but nothing appeared.

[the2stranger]

Ok. :cool:
Expect it in a half an hour or so.

[Daven]

Thanks a lot. :)

[the2stranger]

Megaupload ok with you?

[Daven]

I'd prefer YSI or Sendspace, but whatever works to you is ok.

[the2stranger]

Alright, YSI it is, Sendspace is down for me :-\

I'm listening to the chilling sounds of Comatose Vigil right now, it's so eery.
Especially some of the grotesque chords that are used, they give me cold shivers.

[Daven]

They sound very good. Im in a funeral doom mood.

Reclusiam - Parasellar

[the2stranger]

/Just notices you can d/l Reclusiam for free.
:D

[Daven]

Haha, yeah from their website.

[the2stranger]

I'm listening now, it's pretty good.

YSI failed forme 4 times, so I'm doing Megaupload now, sorry. :(

[Daven]

It had been time since i listened to it.

No problem, Megaupload is ok.

[the2stranger]

It actually sounds a bit like COmatose Vigil, but comatose Vigil uses way more keyboards and layers even more.

[Daven]

Nice, i love when bands use keyborads.

[the2stranger]

What do you think about it?:)

[Nepenthe]

Awesome, how's it like?

I'm really loving the Mournful Congregation full length.

Everyone needs to hear it, that's how it's like. I lost it when my hard drive crashed again Thursday night, but I'll re-download it and share it with you guys, it's some of the best funeral doom I've ever heard.

(Evoken's promo, that is)

[the2stranger]

That would be awesome.
Sucks about the second hd crash. though.:(

[Nepenthe]

Yeah, and the third and fourth. Sorry, I no longer have that Promo, but I can send you their latest full length, Antithesis Of Light, which is actually better.

Does anyone have Tyranny's Tides Of Awakening? I'll buy a cake for the person who does.

[Daven]

I have a link for that album, Q.

[Nepenthe]

If you do that'd be awesome. I found three different links for it, but they are all expired.

You know my email. Thanks a ton in advance and expect a cake to be imported to you within the next 3-5 business days.

[Daven]

What could it be....

SENT

[Nepenthe]

If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your album links? I usually use Metal Area and can find anything I please, but there's been two albums that I couldn't find on there that you've been able to track down.

[Daven]

I found the Tyranny here:
http://xpeh.harddays.net/

And Release from Agony:
http://www.albumbase.com/

[Nepenthe]

Ah yeah Harddays. I supposed I should've checked there. I've never heard of albumbase though.

[Daven]

Album base has some good stuff, dont expect to find weird stuff in there though.

Hey how do you download albums off metal area? I remember checking, and they only post the image of the album, no link or anything.

[Nepenthe]

Yeah, you have to make an account for the links to show up. That one stumped me for quite a while too haha, and it being in all Russian does not help. I was able to navigate myself around well enough to make an account, and after that it's simple getting the albums.

Go ahead and try to make an account, as it's probably the best source of music on the web, but if you can't figure it out send me an IM (Quorthonace) and I can guide you through it.

[Daven]

Ok, thanks.

[Nepenthe]

Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine anyone?

[the2stranger]

Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine anyone?
The name has always fascinated me.
Isn't that a Stephen 'O Malley sideproject?

I haven't posted in a long time in here.
ANyone bought some new cd's lately?

[Tyr]

I'm almost done listening to Solitude Aeturnus' Through the Darkest Hour and I must say that I like it a lot.

[pate]

Kickass. Check Beyond the Crimson Horizon as well. They both pwn hard, but I like BtCH more.

[Txus]

^ Both albums are godly.

[Tyr]

Will do, sir.

[pate]

^ Both albums are godly.

That is very true.

[Daven]

Would anyone recommend me Skepticism's Stormcrowfleet if i love Aeothe Kaear?

[the2stranger]

I Would!
It's pretty much in the vain of the demo.
Very good cd, although the production is about the same as the demo.
But oh well, it's not a that big deal.
Go for it Daven.

[Daven]

Sounds good then.

/Downloading

[the2stranger]

it even has some of the same tracks if I'm not mistaken.
/Hasn't listened to the demo for a while anymore.

[Daven]

:eek:

/Has not listened to FD in a while.

*puts on Skepticism*

NP: The Everdarkgreen

[the2stranger]

That's the spirit.

np: Comatose Vigil - Cataracts

[ATM]

Bongzilla, anyone? :-D

[Poofy 666]

After listening to the new Isole, I don't think its as good as Forvermore, but its still pretty damn good.

[the2stranger]

Bongzilla, anyone? :-D
I still need to check them out.
I've become intressted in stoner lately.
What are good starters?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Electric Wizard

[Jondur]

I'm almost done listening to Solitude Aeturnus' Through the Darkest Hour and I must say that I like it a lot.

All Solitude Aeturnus is great.

I'd go for Into the Depths of Sorrow and Downfall next.

[AlienEater]

Electric Wizard

They're awesome.

[Werny]

Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine anyone?

Hells yeah man.
For those not in the know, it was a tribute to someone who died, forget who though. It's Stephen O'Malley, Greg Anderson, Lee Dorrian and ...Justin Greaves? I think that's his name. Lovely drone.

I got Skepticism's Lead and Aether finally. F'ing gorgeous.

[Nepenthe]

Yes, TOLRTD is excellent.

I've been listening to Stormcrowfleet the past two nights, and if I continue listening to it Skepticism may top Evoken as my favorite for Funeral Doom.

[Daven]

:mad:

I was about to download some Skepticism off Metal Area until some fag hacked it.

:angry:

[Nepenthe]

Yeah, that pisses me right off.

[Luc214]

Electric Wizard

123

[Nepenthe]

Why did it take me so long to look into Paramaecium?

And Mythological Cold Towers, and Loss and Of Darkness? Damn, I found so many good Doom bands today.

Especially Mythological Cold Towers! This is some of the best **** I've ever heard.

[the2stranger]

Hey folks!

Anthony: those bands sound intressting, I'll check sme out.
Homework like that is always nice. :)

Also: I recieved cd's today:
Khanate - Khanate
Aarni -Bathos
Nortt - Ligfaerd.
Mar De Grises - The Tatterdemaillon Express

:cool:

[Txus]

Did you liked the Mar De Grises album, Peter?

I think it's awesome, one of the best Doom album I've heard.

[the2stranger]

Hey Mike, to be homest I haven't yet listened to it.
I NEEDED to watch the Arcturus dvd first, (which also arrived with the above mentioned cd's:D) so I'm going to losten to Mar De grises right now.
You'll hear from me later!

[Nepenthe]

You won't be dissapointed with the Nortt. It's nothing particularly breathtaking, but it's very solid.

[the2stranger]

It's a good album indeed, I've listened to it once so far, I like it.

And for Mar De Grises:
Very heavy, I like it a lot although I can't yet place my finger on any specific parts or songwriting ways that I like.
I think I need to listen some more.

EDIT:
Mar De Grises is amazing. :eek:
I love these guys.

[Werny]

:cool:

Ehehehehehehehehe. Quinotaurus (Twelve Stars in Sight) is a classic song, so is Mental Fugue.

[the2stranger]

Ehehehehehehehehe. Quinotaurus (Twelve Stars in Sight) is a classic song, so is Mental Fugue.
I listened to the first half yesterday night, Mental Fugue was awesome.
I really love the songs that came before too, but this stood out the most.
The packaging is great, as is the survey questionaire.

"Fill out this form and bury it in your backyard, an agent will come to claim it sometime soon."

:lol:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Nortt are quite good.

[the2stranger]

He's a tortured man, but makes exellent music.

I'm listening to Khanate right now, exellent drone.

[mick7]

I absolutely love Doom Metal, helps me relax after a hard days work especially!

I absolutely love:

My Dying Bride (The Return of the Beautiful is one of my fav songs ever)
Nightwish
Type O Negative

These bands kick a**e!

[Nepenthe]

Khanate is very cool. Capture And Release has been getting quite a bit of playing time from me lately.

[Kage]

Khanate is scary.

[Nepenthe]

Steven O Malley is more than a God.

[Luc214]

I absolutely love Doom Metal, helps me relax after a hard days work especially!

Nightwish isn't doom. Type O Negative isn't really either.

You should check out Novembers Doom, Draconian, and Swallow The Sun.

[Jondur]

Nightwish isn't doom. Type O Negative isn't really either.

Neither are..

Novembers Doom, Draconian, and Swallow The Sun.

[the2stranger]

Khanate is very cool. Capture And Release has been getting quite a bit of playing time from me lately.
Indeed, the vocals turned me off a bit at first but they do fit the ****ed up sound.

Last night I realized that Shape Of Despair - Angel Of Distress is one of the most emotional albums I've ever heard.

[Werny]

Nortt are quite good.

I got their split with Xasthur, it's much heavier and emotional than the newer stuff...but the newer stuff just has this weird atmosphere that I love more.

[Jondur]

In fact speaking of bands that aren't really doom, any fans of Doomsword or Spiritus Mortis?

Both bands have elements of doom but are much more in the epic metal vein.

Check em out people.

[the2stranger]

SOunds good.
I've heard the first by name, that's it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've been meaning to get some Doomsword.

[Txus]

Doomsword are godly, I have Let Battle Commence and I love every second of it. They're so damn epic, like a mix between Viking and Doom Metal.

[Luc214]

Neither are..

Excuse me, yes they are.

[Magicaltroll]

Khanate is scary.
Khanate is one of the most amazing bands I've ever heard.


I love Stoner Metal from what I've heard of it. I'm in love with Electric Wizard.


Excuse me, yes they are.
No, they aren't doom...
