for me there exist two types of doom metal

#1) the traditional ones who are in tradition of black sabbaths self titled album -> f.e.: Candlemass, who are more rock than metal

#2) doom metal bands who play doom metal but have nothing in common with the traditional doom metal! f.e.: Anathema, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Sunn O))) (=Drone doom metal), Novembre, etc.
in this category i count bands from the funeral doom metal corner too! f.e.: Pantheist, Shades of Despair.

thats my definition of doom... and i prefer the second one - for me [U]thats[/U] doom

[QUOTE=PECOAE]Saint Vitus IS good doom.

But good doom means a bit stoner.

Even Kyuss, Josh Homme's old band is pretty doom-y.[/QUOTE]

Kyuss ain't doom

I think Electric Wizard are, but I dont really know, I class them as stoner

They rule

my favourites are:
Trouble
Saint Vitus
Pentagram
Witchfinder General
Ramesses
Electric Wizard

Last 2 have a bit more of a stoner influence.

Dopethrone is a masterpiece, simple as :)

I tend to listen to a lot of My Dying Bride, some Amorphis, and occasionally some Sunn 0)))

Hey Husker, guess who.

Anyways, I love Candlemass. Other than that it's the only doom I have heard.

Amorphis has nothing in common with doom metal

Is Katatonia Doom Metal or Post Metal? Or neither?

Post metal?
For ****s sake, all these stupid genres people invent piss me off.
Post metal...

I'd say they are doom metal. I have the Brave Murder Day album, that's doom

[QUOTE=FuryInArt]Is Katatonia Doom Metal or Post Metal? Or neither?[/QUOTE]

Katatonia have been both a doom metal band and a (depressive) rock band.

I have albums from all of these bands on my computer, so if you'd like one, just hit me up on Soulseek (my SN is "Neurotoxin").

I don't have Soulseek, but I'm definitely interested in a lot of those bands. What about AIM?

I loathe AIM. What's your email?

[QUOTE=Neurotoxin]
Confessor[/QUOTE]

I have their first album, Condemed which is amazing. I could listen to their drummer all day. But what is their newest album like?

[email]dethrider@gmail.com[/email]

[QUOTE=FuryInArt]Is Katatonia Doom Metal or Post Metal? Or neither?[/QUOTE]
at first they were doom death metal, now they are a depressive rock band or maybe even just doom metal

old Katatonia > new Katatonia

[QUOTE=halfdeadhippo]Do you have any of their demos you could send me over AIM or MSN? My screen name's the same as this one.[/QUOTE]
I have one demo track, A Close Study.
You can find it on their soundclick page.

Their ex-drummer used to frequent these forums, but I haven't seen him around for a while.

[QUOTE=Neurotoxin]I loathe AIM. What's your email?[/QUOTE]

Send a couple albums my way. You pick, though I would like to hear some Paramaecium, Nortt, and Ecstatic Fear.

Yeah, Jondur's their ex drummer. I've already heard that track, that's why I was looking for more. If I ever find more, I'll let you know.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Nice username ;)

Nah, I know him from another forum.

Are the first couple of albums Ozzy did solo, considered doom metal?

[QUOTE=musicforlife]Are the first couple of albums Ozzy did solo, considered doom metal?[/QUOTE]

No. Speed metal.

I like the stoner doom stuff:
Clutch
High On Fire
Seemless
Lamented Souls
Sleep
etc.

I'm getting a lot into Candlemass at the moment I think Ancient Dreams is an outstanding album I don't like the s/t that much as I like Ancient Dream but I haven't heard Epicus Doomicus Metallicus :(

I'm not really a big Doom Metal fan but I also like Saint Vitus they are so freaking great, " Born Too Late" is really good.

DooM
 

Go For Evoken and Skepticism!

Listen to these guys.

I got Virgin Black - Elegant...And Dying from Neurotoxin, and it's absolutely breathtaking. I'm looking forward to listening to more of this stuff.

I don't really like Stoner stuff. But I do love just plain doom metal bands like November's Doom.

Anyone into Sins Of Thy Beloved? They're a doom/gothic metal band. They have some truly beautiful pieces, as well as some damn heavy and sad ones.

Send, and I can tell you what I think :) I'm eager as hell to try out Doom now.

I love the first album by November's Doom. Such a no-bullshat approach to doom metal, it floors me.

I think Electric Wizard are really just Stoner Rock played really, reeeeeeally slow.

I'm not sure if these are Doom, but...

Khanate
Sunn O)))
Dot [.]
Thee Plague Of Gentlemen
Corrupted


I love the scarier stuff really.
I'm actually like, obsessed with Khanate :p

scary stuff... :rolleyes:
sounds interesting... can you upload some of the scary stuff for the daily upload?

Corrupted is easily the most scary usic I've ever heard, beats fantomas - Delirium Corda,

how's Dot [.] ?

Four pages of Doom discussion, and no mention of Paradise Lost.....

I think they deserve a plug


PS to the guy who said old Katatonia is better than new - I agree 100%

The Great Cold Distance is pretty poor IMO

And December Souls > almost all other doom metal.

And I'm uploading a Sins Of Thy Beloved cd for you right now Fury.

[QUOTE=the2stranger]Corrupted is easily the most scary usic I've ever heard, beats fantomas - Delirium Corda[/QUOTE]
i <3 Corrupted.

I'm still searching for other CDs by them

Nice that you agree with me.


... but Paradise Lost is Gothic Metal not Doom... a lot of ppl here mix doom together with gothic... the two genres are different!!
