Funeral Doom
 

I've been getting in Funeral Doom a great deal recently. Very heavy, slow, and depressing. Most songs last greater than 15 minutes (with some exceptions) and feature very low vocals and haunting guitar lines. Themes are very dark ranging from death to death and sometimes death.

Some excellent bands:

Ahab
Skepticism
Monolithe
Catacombs
Wormphlegm
Thergothon

I have at least one album from all of these bands and can reccommend others if need be. Just ask :)

I upped a few for another board.

I reccomend the Ahab or Monolithe first. They're more "accessible".

And the fact that Candlemass was not mentioned worries me.

Not really Funeral Doom. Doom to be sure, and a fore-runner, but the style is a departure from Candlemass' deal.

early Shape Of Despair

I have Angel Of Distress and I spin it from time to time. I screwed up the Ahab upload and am re-doing it now. Check back in 20 and grab it. It's great stuff.

Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

updated link for that Ahab one. The last one was messed up.

Candlemass is fueneral doom. They have the haunting riffs and everything. All they really don't have are harsh vocals.

Which is why they aren't Funeral Doom.

I'm not just splitting hairs here. The guitar riffs don't really count either. They're closer to Electric Wizard than any Funeral Doom band. Go to Ahab's myspace, or get at me online and I'll send you a sampler or some actual Funeral Doom.

I know fueneral doom.................My Dying Bride is one of my favorites.

Not funeral doom.

what! Than what are My Dying Bride?

I've heard them described as "doom death" but they lack proper death metal elements in my opinion. "Second wave doom metal" is another description I've seen them tagged with that seems to fit slightly better, though is kind of non-descript.

My mind is screwed than. Sub-genres piss me off!

<3 sub genres.

death /doom.

Truth.

Listen to Ahab, Skysword. You'll get the difference.

K, oh and I know a example for Doom Death, Novembers Doom

mdb is sweet doom though

Sweet: this is one of the genres I've been meaning to explore. Downloading Ahab now; thanks rise.

How? for me it says they took off the file.

look down the page for the second link. I screwed up the first one.

Works.....good album and I see the difference now.

I'm not going to lie to you guys, I fucking rule.

A ****TING OF DOOOOOM

A recently created doom blog, there is a mix of alsorts there, a couple of Funeral Doomers just to make this post relevant.
