What do you mean by "very ambient"?

Well, ambient elements.

Like instead of just a power chord droning on for 15 minutes, you add other layers to it, different sounds, etc.

I'm probably doing a shitty job of explaining what I mean.

Hmm, take for example Sunn O)))'s song Bass Aliens. There's a distant sound of plucked strings, accompanied by some static/noises that come in every so often, and there's a bass rumble that comes in at different frequencies.

It has a very atmospheric sound.

If you want layered and ambient stuff, you should really try Nadja.

Never heard Nadja.

You'd probably dig them.

Did that explanation make sense?

If it didn't, you can damn well be sure I'd be on your as[size=2]s[/size] about it. ;)

It's clear, that's why I recommended Nadja. :p

kage is always on a guys ***

if i see the2stranger talk about Nadja one more time i'm going to go *fred durst on his ***.

*kage

Says the guy with the giant Nadja avatar. :p

haha, what's wrong with me talking about Nadja.
In fact i'm listening to Nadja now. :p

The new album that is: Radiance Of Shadows.
Which has a re recording of I Have Tasted The Fire Inside Your Mouth and two new tracks.

Anyone find any good EPICALLY epic doom lately? Candlemass/Solstice type vibes? Downloaded a couple doomers last night but they were stoner-ish kind of stuff, not really what I'm looking for.

Argus, thought a bit different than Candlemass and Solstice. Other than them, I got nothing.

Jesu tbh.


Actually in all seriousness I stumbled upon this band called Low Vibes, you might like them if you haven't already heard of them.

Hour of 13? Dwell Within? I've posted links to both in this thread.

Pagan Altar and Lamp of Thoth tonight in Leeds. Should be fantastic.

I picked up Pagan Altars last album this week and it is great. Really good mix of epic doom and some NWOBHM riffing.

I got Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet just before. Haven't listened yet.

Hey could you send that to me? I really need to check them out.

Check your rep.

It's great.
So dark, brooding and majestic.
The production is quite lowfi, but the music is gorgeous.

Tool.

Thanks :)

I'm pretty new to doom metal, but have been really interested in it as of late. Can you guys recommend me some good bands to start off with?

Pagan Altar
Orodruin
Solstice
Warning
Ultralord
Abandon

Sahg
Candlemass
Saint Vitus
Solitude Aeturnus
Cathedral
Solstice
Witchfinder General
Witchcraft (really light though, sabbath-esque "doom rock")

For heavier stuff:

Ahab
Esoteric
Swallow The Sun
Mourning Beloveth
Shape Of Despair

I didn't recommend the obvious ones, hehe.

Anyway, I just got my Orange Goblin shirt and it's pretty cool.

Frequencies From Planet 10 is a cool album.

And he did say he's new to the genre :p
