Topic - Doom metal (all the sub-genres) Posted: 16 Sep 2011 at 10:28am By Vic |
Not a huge fan of the genre but I am a huge fan of a few doom metal bands.
Namely Candlemass, whose first 4 are essential albums for the fans imo, especially Epicus, Doomicus, Metallicus and Nightfall. I'm a fan of Chapter VI as well, great power/doom and of the comeback stuff. Secondly, Solitude Aeturnus. A Texas based band, it features one of my favourite voices in metal ever, Robert Lowe (who now fronts Candlemass as well). Their entire discography is GODLY. A bit of caution is needed with Downfall, which finds them a bit experimental but still heavy as fuck. First three are considered their most classics, I would also add Adagio to the list (which also contains a stellar edition of Sabbath's Heaven and Hell). Memento Mori, Cathedral, Memory Garden, Trouble are all A-OK in my book as well (esp. the first two).
