A Bastardized History of Doom Metal

"a doom band would sing about trying to eat someone's lungs but overcooking them and having an emotional breakdown as a result" oh yeah that hits the spot

I found Casually Explained's uncle who stopped being invited to family reunions.

"puts the FUN in FUNeral Doom..." subscribed.

"Lyrical themes do not define a genre" Thank you! I've been saying this for years!

How doom metal is it that doom metal was created because of a dismemberment

I feel like this entire series could start out with "Thrash can all be traced back to Black Sabbath with Sabotage" "Power Metal can all be traced back to Black Sabbath with Heaven and Hell" etc

The perfect balance between meme's and a actually informative video, cheers again!

Tony Iommy's accident happened on what was to be his last day of work, when Sabbath got their deal. His mother made him go in on his last day, when his fingers were caught in the metal shear. Although this type of injury would end the carreer of most musicians, Tony pushed through to become the guitar god he is...

Love the combo of history and humor. Keep it coming dude.

Man the YouTube algorithm really hit the nail in the coffin with this recommendation, you sir have a gained a new subscriber.

Acid Bath is incredibly underrated and I’m super happy you added them here

I don't know how anyone could not consider Black Sabbath Doom Metal. When it comes to Traditional Doom, damn near every band sounds like Black Sabbath even down to the guitar tunes and that applies for newer bands today. They still play with the Ionni 70's guitar tune. If the other bands don't sound like Black Sabbath, they often sound like Pentagram did in the 70's and everything I said about Black Sabbath style applies to the Pentagram styled bands. They really stuck to their roots and it's very easy to trace this style back to both bands.

These Bastardized History videos are the best thing on YouTube.

We’re the hex girls and we’re here to put a spell on you

Holy shit bro your metal knowledge inspires me.

Surprised about Type O Negative's absence, they were green in a different way... part gothic, part hardcore, part psychedelic, part industrial but World Coming Down is one of dooms more scariest, personal, most crushing outputs for the genre. [EDIT] Would love you to do episodes dedicated to Folk, Industrial, Avantgarde, Electronic/Ambient and Gothic, as these are uniquely more aesthetic attachments that can be flexible towards any musical genre.

Type O Negative definitely needs to be brought up in the doom metal conversation a whole lot more. They took doom, goth, thrash, hardcore punk, psychadelic, ambient, and all sorts of other shit and made something truly beautiful with the result. Losing Peter Steele was like losing a member of the Beatles, but it's metal. RIP Green Man. 🖤💚

"God, I could do a whole video on this" Please do. Funeral doom is awesome. Also Disembowelment. And Worship.
