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

I was just saying. I like them otherwise :)

Good.

NP: Well of Souls

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]It's so good.

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

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.

Wats Sun O))) best album.

Black one or White One.

Black One.

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

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.

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

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

Greenmachine from Japan is pretty f[U]u[/U]ckin rocking. I wish they had come over with Boris.

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. :)

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

'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.

Haha, I was going to mention that song. Brilliant.

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!

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

That Mournful Congregation album is great.

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

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.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]That Mournful Congregation album is great.[/QUOTE]
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

Just got Evoken's Promo 2002!

Awesome, how's it like?

I'm really loving the Mournful Congregation full length.

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

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

Nah, I haven't heard that.

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

Yes I am.

Alrighty.
:cool:

Thanks, Petey :cool:

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

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

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. :(

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.

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/

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

never mind: i thought this is the community thread

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

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