I listened to the first half yesterday night, Mental Fugue was awesome.
I really love the songs that came before too, but this stood out the most.
The packaging is great, as is the survey questionaire.

"Fill out this form and bury it in your backyard, an agent will come to claim it sometime soon."

:lol:

Nortt are quite good.

He's a tortured man, but makes exellent music.

I'm listening to Khanate right now, exellent drone.

I absolutely love Doom Metal, helps me relax after a hard days work especially!

I absolutely love:

My Dying Bride (The Return of the Beautiful is one of my fav songs ever)
Nightwish
Type O Negative

These bands kick a**e!

Khanate is very cool. Capture And Release has been getting quite a bit of playing time from me lately.

Khanate is scary.

Steven O Malley is more than a God.

Nightwish isn't doom. Type O Negative isn't really either.

You should check out Novembers Doom, Draconian, and Swallow The Sun.

Neither are..

Indeed, the vocals turned me off a bit at first but they do fit the ****ed up sound.

Last night I realized that Shape Of Despair - Angel Of Distress is one of the most emotional albums I've ever heard.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Nortt are quite good.[/QUOTE]

I got their split with Xasthur, it's much heavier and emotional than the newer stuff...but the newer stuff just has this weird atmosphere that I love more.

In fact speaking of bands that aren't really doom, any fans of Doomsword or Spiritus Mortis?

Both bands have elements of doom but are much more in the epic metal vein.

Check em out people.

SOunds good.
I've heard the first by name, that's it.

I've been meaning to get some Doomsword.

Doomsword are godly, I have [I]Let Battle Commence [/I] and I love every second of it. They're so damn epic, like a mix between Viking and Doom Metal.

[QUOTE=Jondur]Neither are..[/QUOTE]

Excuse me, yes they are.

[QUOTE=Kage]Khanate is scary.[/QUOTE]
Khanate is one of the most amazing bands I've ever heard.


I love Stoner Metal from what I've heard of it. I'm in love with Electric Wizard.

No, they aren't doom...

Swallow The Sun isn't doom? Then what are they?

[QUOTE=Luc214]Swallow The Sun isn't doom? Then what are they?[/QUOTE]
I thought you said Nightwish and that other band were.

Your post was confusing, sorry.

Been listening to The Melvins quite a bit lately. Good stuff.

[QUOTE=Luc214]Swallow The Sun isn't doom? Then what are they?[/QUOTE]

Slow atmospheric death metal with keyboards.

Show me the link with Pentagram and St Vitus and maybe I'll accept that they're doom metal

[QUOTE=Jondur]Slow atmospheric death metal with keyboards.

Saint Vitus is [i]classic[/i] doom.

Swallow The Sun is death/doom, Draconian is gothic doom, etc.

Different branches is all.

No. St Vitus is Doom Metal.

I understand subgenres. I know that black/death is death metal with elements of black metal. But surely by that reasoning death doom should sound a teansy weany bit like doom metal?

Put it this way. Most people accept that Pentagram were the first doom metal band. In the same way that most people accept that Death (or Possessed) were the first death metal band. You can trace a lineage from Scream Bloody Gore to say Behemoth or even Swallow the Sun. But there is not one element of Pentagram or Vitus, or Trouble, or any other Doom Metal band in Swallow the Sun.

Usually I let this go (see early pages for similar arguements) - it's just you were pulling someone up on genres and then getting it wrong yourself.

Anyway Type O are a lot more doom than Draconian!

I suppose every music review site has the genres wrong then.

That's just a cop out man.

Call em doom death if you want but try and explain why they should be called that. The fact remains that they have nothing to do with doom. The name doom death just came about to describe Paradise Lost because they were doing really slow death metal and people didn't understand it. they never sounded like doom at all. But people equate slow with doom. Which in itself is bollocks. There's loads of uptempo doom.

[QUOTE=Txus]Doomsword are godly, I have [I]Let Battle Commence [/I] and I love every second of it. They're so damn epic, like a mix between Viking and Doom Metal.[/QUOTE]

I have yet to find a band that sounds like them dammit! Scald (\m/) are somewhat close though.

I've never heard of Scald, if they sound like Doomsword I should check them out.

I fail to understand how Paradise Lost's Gothic doesn't sound doom at all. Just listen to the riffs. And it's not very slow at all.

And for the record, I'd call that 'doom' before I call any of the trad stuff doom. I've never got how Sabbath-imitating 70's rockers got called "doom metal". It's hardly metal, let alone doom. But that's my view.

Listen to [I]Lost Paradise[/I].

You must be kidding. How the hell is a band like Reverend Bizarre or Candlemass [I]not[/I] metal?
