Inspired largely by the lumbering dirges and stoned, paranoid darkness of Black Sabbath, doom metal is one of the very few heavy metal subgenres to prize feel and mood more than flashy technique (though the latter can certainly be present). Even more indebted to Sabbath than most metal, doom metal is extremely slow, sludgy, and creepy, feeling so heavy it can barely move; its deliberate pace and murky guitars are meant to evoke (what else?) a sense of impending doom. The movement began to take shape in the mid-'80s, as underground bands like the SST label's Saint Vitus, the critically acclaimed Trouble, and Sweden's Candlemass attracted cult audiences for their out-of-fashion, Sabbath-dominated sounds. Trouble and Cathedral helped bring doom metal to a wider (though not mainstream) metal audience during the early '90s, and doom's monolithic darkness quickly made it appealing to a variety of tastes. Doom metal was one of the formative influences on the retro-obsessed stoner metal movement of the '90s, and it was not uncommon for bands to find favor in both camps. Another dominant strain of '90s doom metal — pioneered by British bands like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Anathema — fused Sabbath heaviness with the sounds and sensibilities of goth-metal, plus occasional touches of death metal; the results were sorrowful, gloomy epics. The '90s also birthed a unique doom metal scene centered in New Orleans; the sound of bands like Crowbar and Eyehategod was often described as "sludge metal" because of their heavy debt to early Seattle grunge bands like the Melvins and Soundgarden. Several doom metal bands incorporated progressive tendencies, though this approach was much less widespread.

An absolute assload. Go on browse by genre.Admiral Valdemar wrote:They all sound the same to me. That is, crap.
Seriously, how many new types can there be?
Mortician? Deathgrind according to that site.They all have a dude screaming at the top of his voice or someone whispering into the mic whilst a noise of sorts is played by the band.
Bah, maybe you should get more of that stuff you showed me, Rye.
. Doom Metal is a metal genre characterised by a slow pace, a generally manic-depressive atmosphere (hence the name), power chords bridged across glacial rhythm, as well as often being composed under the influence of marijuana.Rye wrote:What exactly is this genre, and how does it differ from black and death metal? Are there any popular doom bands that I should look into?

I'm all about old school Black Sabbath, the grandfathers of metalSolid Snake wrote:Pffft... Iron Maiden and Iced Earth are the absolute masters of metal.

Yeah - Sabbath basically created metal.Atomik Chicken wrote:I'm all about old school Black Sabbath, the grandfathers of metalSolid Snake wrote:Pffft... Iron Maiden and Iced Earth are the absolute masters of metal.

It goes like this:
1. Sabbath
2. Slayer
Slayer's 'Reign in Blood' is by far one the most quintessential metal albums EVER.
I don't know about Iced Earth, but Iron Maiden are kinda overrated. They're technically speaking very talented musicians... but compositionally it's pretty much bog-standard NWOBHM. For example, the main riff in Two Minutes To Midnight literally sounds like it's stolen straight from the title track of Venom's Welcome To Hell.Solid Snake wrote:Pffft...

Heh, quite true, this is probably from my hedonistic outlook on life in comparison to your more nihilistic one which i really cannot see the point in.Peregrin Toker wrote: Oh - and nice to see another metaller here. I'd still warn you that there's not much cohesion among the "metal community" on SDN - look at the chasm between me and Rye. Whereas I firmly assert that Metal is the musical expression of Nihilist and existentialist philosophy, Rye only cares whether or not it is audially pleasing... unsurprisingly, he listens to Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. (bands which are, by more serious metallers, considered worse sellouts than Metallica)
You should be ashamed of yourself.I don't know about Iced Earth,
I'd have to agree here. Power metal was never my thing anyway, just reminds me of glam.but Iron Maiden are kinda overrated. They're technically speaking very talented musicians... but compositionally it's pretty much bog-standard NWOBHM. For example, the main riff in Two Minutes To Midnight literally sounds like it's stolen straight from the title track of Venom's Welcome To Hell.
A question: Why listen to Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir while you already have Bal-Sagoth, the band whom CoF and Dimmu Borgir are pale imitations of?Rye wrote: Oh and atomik chicken/constantine: look at my playlist of FEAR!
Why not listen to both? It'd be pointless limiting of my music-listening experience by ignoring bands because other bands were musically better or did things first.Peregrin Toker wrote: A question: Why listen to Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir while you already have Bal-Sagoth, the band whom CoF and Dimmu Borgir are pale imitations of?
See above. Although i've not listened to them yet. I do plan on doing though.And why listen to Marduk when you can listen to Impaled Northern Moonforest?
Ah. I have one album by them, that's quite good, though apparently they've got older and better albums.BTW- I do know who Iced Earth are, I just meant that I haven't heard anything by them.
I prefer 'Sagoth to either of those because:Rye wrote:Why not listen to both?

Nice playlist.Rye wrote:Oh and atomik chicken/constantine: look at my playlist of FEAR!
Whoa... "Turbo"? Isn't that considered one of the weakest link in the JP chain?constantine wrote:I'd most definately give it up to Judas Priest and Motorhead - I was listening to them years ago. In fact, I think I was listening to 'Turbo' when it came out.
Really? I thought the godfathers of death metal were Possessed...Still...in every students path towards death metal, they must always walk through the doorway that is Slayer.
Slipknot never struck me as worth attention. It certainly isn't even remotely sophisticated.Has anyone heard the new Slipknot? It kind of annoyed me, it sounds like they're pulling a Staind with all the ballads and crap.
