Doom Metal - Needs Recognition

[InfernoxDeath]

Until now, i feel that Doom Metal lacks exposure in Singapore.
It's hard to find one who enjoys this dark atmospheric genre of metal.

Any thoughts on these?

well probably becouse in singapore the doom people are very much underground.i have to admit though i love cathedral.and i think doom was quite popular in the early to mid 1990's?i maybe wrong though.

+1 to Cathedral (& Confessor)

majority of the doom bands peddle crawl-pace music; it's one of the reasons why people aren't too keen- it gets boring easily. but i enjoy good, guitar-driven music, regardless of the genre.

Anything associating with doom, count me in!

 

[empihsrow]

As long as it's good, I'll listen to it.

I haven't really heard doom. But is it as near as it can get to slow atmospheric black metal music?

The only band i listen to is cathedral. veh nice.

there are parallels to this but it's not black metal in essence.

Sabbath was technically doom sounding, so you can say doom is the 1st ever metal genre..haha

Doom.....Lordi is doom right?

 

[wasp]

They are not exactly doom but thier sound was heavily influenced by Sabbath but kinda more upbeat in a way. Came up with only 2 albums but both are NWOBHM classics.

No, Lordi is a Joke!

Ok joking.. Lordi are more heavy metal type..

Sabbath is doom. And they are of course the pioneer of traditional doom metal..

One of the other pioneers of modern doom metal is Candlemass... You can't miss them out...
I do enjoy Virgin Black alot. Any listeners of this band?

 

[fuzzmusick]

Not forgetting Pentagram.. Also one the pioneers of traditional doom..

I too enjoy alot of stoner.. Bands such as Sleep, Eternal Elysium, Electric Wizard etc..

In fact I enjoy anything with DOOM!

 

[InfernoxDeath]

I'm not a fan of Stoner... Just don't know why... Forcing my way into that genre though...
On a side not, core genres is just giving me headaches...

You're not alone bro.

Saturnus is good stuff. Especially if Swallow The Sun is your addiction (it is for me).

 

[InfernoxDeath]

My my!
Did you see that thread? That Deathcore/Metalcore thread... Metalcore is still metal... -_-
Hello! Metal isn't just metal like your ordinary music... It's in our vein. Our blood.

 

[fuzzmusick]

Im never a fan of core music.. And this is currently my favourite thread as of today!

Oh yes, Death/Doom are also good.. Swallow the sun, Morgion, Infernal Gates and stuff..
It's a bit melodic but still heavy in a sense..

Early paradise lost are good.. Same goes for Amorphis.. I like their earlier stuff.. More doomy!

Seriously, i created this thread when i saw your post "Any doom fans here?"
And realised that you got no reply for that.
So hope this helps.

It's also a thread where people learn more about the genre. Get good recommendations from Doom listeners.

If there's another guy who comes and talk about any "Doomcore" genre, he'll get his bum kick....
