Recommend me... Doom Metal?
« on: January 05, 2011, 11:53:16 AM »
It seems I've always thought Doom was something completely different than what it actually is. Well, I'm interesting. Especially in the "Epic" Doom variety.

Recommend me some doom metal a DT guy might like  :hat

Thanks guys.

If you want "epic doom", the first thing that jumps to my mind is:

Silent Ruins by Isole

Anathema - The Silent Enigma.

Seriously, out of all Doom-stuff i've heard (not a lot, but not little either) this album just kicks ass.
I know they aren't really notorious for their doom-stuff nowadays, but this albums surely is a gem.  :)
Apart from that i'd say Katatonia has some doom-albums, some more doom then others.
Not really sure about a recommendation there, Darkes7 probably knows though.

Candlemass and My Dying Bride were two that popped in my head.

Sleep. More stoner metal than anything, but still amazing.

Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus are solid doom metal veterans.

For some good recent doom, I recommend Draconian and Swallow the Sun.

Katatonia pretty much stopped playing doom after Tonight's Decision (which isn't really a doom album either, but it has some doom elements left), but pretty much their entire discography is amazing. If you're into full-on doom, I guess you should try the first two albums (Dance of December Souls and Brave Murder Day), but if you just want to try the band, try either Viva Emptiness (darker, catchier) or Night is The New Day (lighter, even slightly prog), and then The Great Cold Distance which needs a bit more time but is one of my favourite albums ever created.

Another recommendation - a band that's seriously underrated here on DTF and all my attempts of converting people have failed miserably, and that is Paradise Lost. The first five albums are all pretty much doom, although with each album there's a bit less doom and more gothic. Their later '90s albums are very experimental and a bit electronic (One Second, Host, Believe in Nothing, Symbol of Life), self-titled is more straightforward, and with the previous, In Requiem, they returned to the doom/gothic style though a bit different. However...

Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us was released in 2009 and it's absolutely amazing. It has plenty of both doom and gothic in it, and I recommend it all the way. It was my #2 album of 2009 (behind only The Incident) and it's pretty much flawless.

That's all I can say. Unfortunately I've wanted to get into more traditional doom for a long time but been postponing it for a while already. :(

Candlemass is a good pick.

Also, Swallow the Sun. They're ridiculously good.

You guys are not the first to recommend Swallow the Sun. What's a good starting point.

Also, like Day is the New Day but I need something a bit more... energetic.

Whatever their first album is. I think the title is The Morning Never Came but I'm not too sure.

I recommend Katatonia and Paradise Lost too. Brave Murder Day by Katatonia is one of the best albums I've ever heard, it also has Mikael Åkerfeldt on growls! I'm not sure if the first 2 Amorphis albums (The Karelian Isthmus and Tales from the Thousand Lakes) can be classified as doom, but there are definitely doom elements, so I recommend them, especially the latter.

You guys oughta check out this young band, Stonehelm - https://www.myspace.com/stonehelm420
Style is stoner/doom metal so I figured I'll post them here.
They have 5 tracks on their myspace avail for listening. I messaged the band on there and they offered me a free download of their new unreleased album via Rapidshare. They're unsigned so they can't get it out on physical format yet. They're looking for a label.

Let me know if it's safe to post the link here.
