Doom Metal "newcomers"[views:3935][posts:39]__________________________________________ [Jan 17,2007 5:17pm - thegreatspaldino ""] (just now that i cant get into stoner/doom metal, so this wont be about that kind of music at all) We know about bands like Shape of Despair, My Dying Bride, Evoken, Morgion, and whatnot... but lately there have been some bands that have been making amazing albums that havent really been talked about all that much. I'm talking about Draconian, Swallow the Sun, and Saturnus (even though Saturnus has been around for a long time). these guys keep coming out with releases and they just get better and better. I bought a Draconian cd a couple years ago, thinking it was this other doom band and i was so lucky when it turned out to be what it was. Great romantic doom that could fit in the "funeral" at times, but other times its a little too fast for it. very atmospheric and very awesome. their newest effort is even better. Saturnus i have been into since 01 when "Martyre" first came out or so. good doom. their older stuff is a little more "artsy" to me, but it still rules. their newest offering is awesome as well. depressing in a good sense. these guys can really play with emotions. "Veronika Decides to Die" is the name of the album. get it. Swallow the Sun is a newer band. their first album came out in like 03 i think... i bought that because the band sounded like they were doom and i was right. Through Her Silvery Body. thats the first one. it was pretty good. then their second album came out "Ghosts of Loss". that album was just killer. they just released a new one that i havent even fully heard and it seems like they are progressing well. there are faster parts in the new one now as well as full on DOOM. "Hope" is the name of the new one, and you guys should look out for it. basically if you are stuck on the classics and havent heard much of the new doom... check out these guys. great shit. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 17,2007 9:10pm - dyingmuse ""] Doom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| _____________________________________________ [Jan 17,2007 11:37pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I own "Ghosts of Loss" and "The Morning Never Came" from Swallow The Sun and "Veronika Decides to Die" from Saturnus. I honestly have never heard Draconian. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 17,2007 11:45pm - thegreatspaldino ""] well you will like them. get the new Swallow the Sun. its AWESOME |
| ________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 12:05am - Troll ""] I'm certainly keeping an eager ear on these new doomers http://www.myspace.com/lossdoom |

| _______________________________ [Jan 18,2007 10:46am - Yeti ""] i cant say i like Draconian too much. Swallow the Sun is well done, but they do get boring after a while. to me, funeral doom is epitomized in Disembowelment. also Thergothon. i have been dying to check out Wormphlegm but i cant find any of their material. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 11:12am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Look for SUBSTANCE FOR GOD, it rules. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 4:22pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Would Insomnium be considered Doom metal? I'm listening to "Above The Weeping World" but I can't quite put my finger on what they are. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 4:26pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] There's more melody on this album than I originally expected. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 5:35pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Bump. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 5:42pm - thegreatspaldino ""] officium triste and mournful congregation are wicked doom too |
| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 6:41pm - niflheim ""] The guitarist of Funeral has a side project called "Fallen" which is excellent doom. Catacomb's "In the Depths of R'lyeh" was a good release last year, and Ahab's 'Call of the Wretched Sea". Thergothon just re-released "Fhtagn nagh Yog-Sothoth" on vinyl as a limited release. The new Esoteric is still in the works, which will be amazing, and hopefully Skepticism will arise from obscurity to once again show everyone how it's done. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 7:41pm - thegreatspaldino ""] Fallen is awesome |

I generally have that outlook too, but I think the thing that pisses me off the most about doom is that most bands in this genre basically sound no different than mainstream alternative rock bands only they play slightly heavier and have screaming vocals. If you're going to play slow, play as slow as possible like Ocean. If you're going to sound depressing, take it to an extreme like Khanate. I don't see what the point is of being some lame half-ass band that sounds like the same mainstream horse shit everyone else is doing. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 7:58pm - niflheim ""] It's worth noting that the newest Aldebaran album coming out soon should be absolutely devastating. I see it possibly being my favorite Doom release of this year. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 7:58pm - thegreatspaldino ""] what sounds mainstream about doom? what "doom" are you listening too? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 19,2007 10:14am - anonyomous ""] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feMntPqIBYc Not new to doom, that's for sure, but Trouble does have a new album coming out after a long hiatus. the first two albums rule, and i like this tune, Plastic Green Head |

| _______________________________ [Jan 19,2007 10:36am - Yeti ""] Warhorse is also excellent stoner doom. |
