I know there was a doom thread a couple of months back, but I can't find it.
Anyway, recommend me some doom-metal type stuff please.

Started a thread on them earlier:

Wildildlife.

Not doom per se, but they write 18 minute tracks with large doom sections. The other bits sound like a cross between Battles and Boris.


Sounds good, I'll ch ch check em out

any standout tracks?


Khanate

Burning Witch
Earth
Goatsnake
Witch
Thorr's Hammer


I was looking for that Witch album earlier

but couldn't find it.

Are there any Khanate albums which may be good to start with?


Self Titled

Then Things Viral
Then Capture and Release.... although they are all amazing.


Dude, check Moss out

ultra-slow low-end funeral-drone. Well sick.

Anything on Rise Above is worth checking, especially Electric Wizard and Orange Goblin.


Ermm in terms of doom been listening to

The Goslings - Occasion
Husband and wife duo making music that sounds like the end of the world through a load of distortion pedals

also listening to:
Corrupted - Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos
Graves At Sea - Documents Of Grief


I'm bored, so I wrote a long boring list

Abominable Iron Sloth
Acid King
Bloody Panda
Bongripper
Burning Witch
Capricorns
Cathedral
Electric Wizard
Goatsnake
Harvey Milk (not Doom per-se, but close)
Iron Monkey
Jex Thoth
Middian
Mouth of the Architect
The Obsessed
OM
Omega Massif
Overmars
Pale Divine
Reverend Bizarre
The River
Rosetta
Serpentcult
Sleep
Winters
Witchcraft
YOB


I'm a bit worried of mentioning any of these bands

within earshot of girls.
Discretion will have to be employed.


Why would you be worried?

Do you often scream names of bands at girls in a vain attempt to impress them?

That's probably where you're going wrong, old boy.


My gf tends to laugh at me when I mention anything doom related

maybe as I pronounce doom with at least 5 'o's.


Acrimony are another top band

Perhaps more stoner-doom. Nearly 10 years to the day since i saw them, Electric Wizard and Cathedral on the same bill in Nottingham. Best night ever.


How about...

Ramesses
Jesu
High on Fire
Om
Neurosis
Sleep
Sunn O)))


...

Ocean. You need their album Here Where Nothing Grows.

And I second whoever said Burning Witch.


NORTT


Some that havent been mentioned..

But are rather special and not enough people have heard of them -

Strong Like Bear
Forceed
Buried At Sea
Confessor
Weedeater

and lots more....xx


The Grasshopper Lies Heavy

Not strictly doom as they touch bases with several other genres including stoner rock and post metal, and they sound amazing.


chicks dig Electric Wizard "Dopethrone" as well as

My Dying Bride and Black Sabbath, hey sabbath's doom ain"t it? "Children Of The Gravre"?

Reefer Sutherland has a good list for sure.

I've never heard Nadja but there is a woman it that band.

Earth is supposed to be great although I haven't heard that one either.

My Wife loves Type O Negative and the whole family is going to see them in june- Type O is considered gothadelic but Peter Steel's voice is ultra baritone smoky doomladen sounding- not quite "smog encrusted doom" but pretty awesome still. : )


BURNING WITCH

ARE FUCKING ACE.
