Intro to Doom?[views:6214][posts:50]___________________________________________ [Nov 4,2005 10:14pm - Grind My Gonads! ""] Out of all the sub-genres of metal, DOOM is the one I'm least acquinted with. Coming from someone who loves Dying Fetus/Misery Index, Carcass, Cryptopsy, Morbid Angel.....what bands should I start out listening to? I've heard parts of the new Ocean cd and love it, but I can't really stomach High on Fire or Soilent Green. I just don't find them memorable/enjoyable. Is there actually "catchy" Doom out there? :spineyes: |

Just kidding, Shroud kicks ass, even though tr00 doom metallers would call them "SloDeath" and not tr00 doom. |

""] i actually cant wait till the o'breins show, i havent seen shroud since we played with you folks waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in what March i think. that show will be most enjoyable. ocean, sin of angels, shroud what more could you ask for. Ha Grief and Conifer sorry it had to be said ! |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 5,2005 12:12am - Grind My Gonads! ""] Just checked out what Conifer audio samples were available on the net and i MUST add them to my favorites! Thanks for the suggestion. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 5,2005 1:08am - Ryan_M ""] thorr's hammer is an excellent death/doom band featuring a 17 year old norwegain girl as their singer; she can growl as good as any man, check them out.....disembowelment is supposed to be an excellent death/doom band as well, though i've never heard them for myself.....burning witch, graves at sea, grief, eyehategod.....place of skulls is a great sabbath-style doom band....if you're interested in doom with more melodic/gothic influence, as mentioned above, our own Shroud of bereavement is definitely worth hearing, My Dying bride is awesome as well, older anathema....paradise lost and cathedral are 2 more doom pioneers but i haven't listened to either of those yet....if you can find a copy(try ebay.com), Upsidedown Cross is very cool also.....just a few suggestions, as i am also sort of new to the doom scene, i've only been into it for a few months; as you can tell i still haven't heard some of the bigger names in doom.....but hey, good luck in your quest for good music! |

| _____________________________________________ [Nov 5,2005 10:03am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Why not start with the basic bands and then work your way forward... Black Sabbath (early albums) Saint Vitus Candlemass Cathedral Paradise Lost My Dying Bride Electric Wizard Neurosis (as your intro to that whole Isis/Cult of Luna scene) I don't really think a lot of bands people listed here qualify as 'doom'. Some of 'em, but not a lot. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 5,2005 4:38pm - Grind My Gonads! ""] Is it pretty hard to distinguish between some Stoner Rock and Doom bands? |

| ___________________________________________ [Nov 5,2005 10:21pm - Grind My Gonads! ""] Thanks for all the help guys. I went down to my local record store; they usually have a varied selection, as they are an independently owned operation. Anyways, they didn't have a single copy of Cathedral or My Dying Bride. [img] I was able to pick up Electric Wizard's "We Live" and I have to say it's pretty decent so far. [img] |
