Early anathema was always a lot more doom than the other early doom/death bands. I love the first album and EPs. Can't help but think they went a bit boring with The Silent Enigma and then a bit crap.

NP - still Orodruin. This band is just amazing.

Yeah, I think Crestfallen is a masterpiece and Eternity is awesome too, I have Alternative 4 and I don't like it that much.

[QUOTE=Txus]No prob man, Hey I have a doubt, are Anathema considered Doom Metal? because I saw that some people didn't consider them DM but I really hear a lot of DM moments in their songs.

NP: Anathema - ...And I Lust[/QUOTE]
thank you, for uploading it.

1# the song you're listening is great :thumb:
Anathema are the first doom metal band i listened too and are still my favourite Doom metal bands out there! to be serious they are on my top 5 list of all bands i listen to.

and yes, Anathema are doom! at first they made Doom-death Metal (as you hear in ....And I Lust); After the realse of "The Silent Enigma" (Their last doom death album) they changed their singer and started to make depressive-rock. and seriously i can't decide which anathema is better. old anathema and new anathema are both great! :thumb:

(old) Anathema opened for me doors to another world ...

- Serenades
- The Silent Enigma
- The Crestfallen
/me loves them

^^ Fanboy :p

The Dark Suns album has been sent.

[QUOTE=FuryInArt]If you're serious, tell him thanks for making some really, really excellent music. :thumb: They've made a fanboy out of me.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Txus]^^ Fanboy :p

thank you, i downloaded the file and i listening to them right now. sounds nice. :thumb:

NP: Daydream

[QUOTE=ween2424]Electric Wizard rules.[/QUOTE]

God, you are so right. They are amazing.

Epicurean Mass is one of my favorite doom albums.

Isole > All.

I just love Forevermore so much, such a brilliant peice of music!

So I finally decided to check out Anathema. I downloaded their first EP... Crestfallen.

It seems pretty good, like Jondur said there seems to be a bit more doom than death which is cool. I like it a lot so far.

NP: The Sweet Suffering

great! one more anathema fanboy :thumb:

get serenades - its my fav album by them from their doom-death time.

[QUOTE=Freezing Moon]Epicurean Mass is one of my favorite doom albums.[/QUOTE]

Yes. I can't believe that they've gone from that album to complete inactivity. They made such an impact (rightly so) but still no follow up.

If they were still going they'd be the best US doom band.

[QUOTE=mick7]I absolutely LOVE My Dying Bride.

My fav songs of theres would be:

Black Heart Romance
For my fallen angel
for you
return to the beautiful

check them out, it's allllll good![/QUOTE]

I have their whole discography except for the live album. For You is so absorbing and relaxing, yet the awesome groovey doom riffs don't seem out of place.

I still have yet to hear the re-recording of Return Of The Beautiful. Stupid guy I got The Dreadful Hours off didn't have it.

My favourite songs are
All Swept Away
Sear Me
The Cry Of Mankind
The Dreadful Hours
The Snow In My Hand
Your River
The Bitterness And The Bereavement

I like their first two records better than the rest. As The Flower Withers was my first Doom album, and I didn't know it had growling (I had only heard tracks from Like Gods Of The Sun), it scared the life out of me!

Looks like this thread has gone the same way as all the others

Listen to Bloodfarmers, Revelation and Count Raven. Now!

i've heard people call Type O Negative doom but i do not agree at all they are just goth or somthing

i will call them goth-(doom)-metal

I'm glad this thread got bumped. I love doom/gothic but I really don't have much.

what do you have? maybe i can recommend you some bands ...

I really love calm atmospheric interludes in funeral doom and after that bonecrushing riffs and gutterall growling.

/Slowly increases funeral dooom collection

[QUOTE=repcak]what do you have? maybe i can recommend you some bands ...[/QUOTE]

I have My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Anathema, Virgin Black, and Candlemass. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. :thumb:

Doomsword is some terrific doom with slight, very slight folk/viking tendencies.

[QUOTE=IAmTheBlackWizard]Doomsword is some terrific doom with slight, very slight folk/viking tendencies.[/QUOTE]

If it comes from BlackWizard, of course it has folk/viking influence!

Thanks, though. I'll see what I can dig up by them.

Sins Of Thy Beloved is also some terrific doom (very gothy, but very doomy as well so I feel they can be talked about in this thread) WITHOUT my obligatory folk/viking leanings. They [I]do[/I] use alot of violins though...

Violins = secks

I'm ordering some CDs today, so I'll be looking into both Doomsword and Sins of Thy Beloved. Perfect timing, Wizard, and thanks a bundle for the recommendations. :)

MDB, Katatonia and Anathema are my fav doom bands :thumb:

check out:
Novembre (especially Dreams D'Azur)
Lacrimas Profundere (Burning: A Wish), their last "doom" record, afterwards they got gothic... well the whole album is gothic-doom but its fantastic

and for gothic i would recommend:
Sentenced !!!! (especially "The Funeral album")
Killing Joke - Night Time (they are gothic rock)

Awesome. Don't mention it. Also keep an eye open for November's Doom.

Thanks for the Sins Of Thy Beloved CD IATBW, I forgot to say that to you when you sent the CD:D

Im enjoying it alot.

Awesome, glad you like them. They are one of my favorites. Very depressing and sorrow filled music. Incredibly emotional and powerful. Empyrium and them are two of my favorites of that sort of thing.

Yea, I like the classical instruments used. It fits pretty well.

What other albums by Lacrimas Profunde should I pick up beside the one sent out on the Daily Upload?
