stfu pate. :mad:

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

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

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

Yeah, ND bored me too.

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.

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

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

I played Cathedral's- [I]Forest of Equilibrium[/I] 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.

No way. [I]The Ethereal Mirror[/i] and [I]The Carnival Bizarre[/i] are better than FOE.

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

Etheral Mirror is ace.

TNR is my album of the year thus far.

[I]The Garden Of Unearthly Delights[/I] is another good Cathedral album.

I love all of the ones I have heard.

I agree with the last 3 posts.

Supernatural Birth Machine is my favorite Cathedral album atm.

NP: Esoteric - Grey day

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

What's that?

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

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.

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 ?

[QUOTE=Bartender;14701783]Cathedral song, "Hopkins (The Witchfinder General)". It's just a whole lot of fun.[/QUOTE]

yes

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

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

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

[QUOTE=pate;14699710]No way. [I]The Ethereal Mirror[/i] and [I]The Carnival Bizarre[/i] are better than FOE.[/QUOTE]

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

No problem man. :)

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

12 Days Of Rain is Katatonia worthy stuff.

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