Whats your favorite Doom album? BTW we covered Death/Doom in the Death Metal episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jp6ACa3YDo
-
I think a stoner/doom album that gets people into Metal in general is Electric Wizard- Dopethrone, I know a lot of indie rockers who don’t even listen to metal but fuckin love that album
-
Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Anathema were my gateway in to most things Doom.
-
In reference to Solitude by Candlemass, “...that might have come across as silly and dated.” Meanwhile, I’ve been introducing everyone I know to doom metal using this specific song. I don’t regret my decision.
-
Doom is easily my favourite metal genre. Slow, hard, and deep; just the way I like it
-
The band that got me into doom, even though they’re not a doom band, is Alice In Chains. They were the first band I heard that emphasized the slow and heavy.
-
Crowbar, Down, Fu Manchu, Clutch, Nebula, Elder, Monster Magnet, Spiritual Beggars, Orange Goblin, YOB, Eyehategod; Black Cobra, Sheavy, Goatsnake, Pallbearer, Sun and Sail Club, Corrosion of Conformity, ASG..... it’s all good Baby!
-
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality. Half of these genres are on that one album, if in embryonic form.
-
If they do not lower me to my grave with Candlemass epicly blasting through the entire town then I don't wanna die
-
Personally, I think Eyehategod would've been a better mention for Sludge, the first three albums are what Morbid Angel and Darkthrone is to death metal and black metal respectively, The Unholy Trinity of Sludge Metal.
-
Sleep , Monolord, Windhand = the trifecta of Great Modern Doom REPEAT> Sleep, Monolord, Windhand & YOB
-
The enthusiasm Blayne introduced Wormphlegm by saying "if were gonna get weird, LET'S GET WEIRD" was positively endearing. That's why I love his videos! The band that got me into doom was definitely Candlemass. Their first two records just blew my mind as budding metalhead. I was probably 19ish when I first heard them.
-
Thank goodness Neurosis got mentioned! The GOAT.
-
You didn’t mention Death/Doom and somehow made it through a video without mentioning Hooded Menace
-
Sabbath...then Trouble...then Witchfinder General...then Cathedral...
-
Definitely needed the addition of Death/Doom and Gothic Doom. Needed to mention Electric Wizard, Crowbar and of course Paradise Lost, Katatonia, My Dying Bride and Anathema too. I would’ve also added the band Funeral when talking about Funeral Doom. But of course this is just a short video so you can’t cover everything
-
Eyehategod or Crowbar!!!! Nola native here showing some love.
-
Listen to Reverend Bizarre, people. The Hour of Death is a great track to start, you'll get everything great you need in your doom.
-
I grew up where Sleep and Neurosis are from and was a gothy teenager at the time, so yeah, that's how I got into it. You couldn't walk for more than 5 minutes downtown without stumbling into a Neurosis show.
-
Pallbearer is one of my absolute favorite doom bands! Also worth checking are Conan and Primitive Man who create some badass sludge and doom.
