For me, its all bout slow, insanely low tunings, and HEAVY AS HELL!! |
What band got you into it? |
I was hoping youd be able to tell from my written interpretation of that riff :p
Paramaecium. I enjoyed TD and Sabbath, but was never really into it as anything other than smething to relax too... then I got a copy of Exhumed of the Earth  |

| For me what drew me in was pre-doom. I like the groove and look at deeper themes. CCR's Green River, Cream, The Stones' Paint It Black, Pink Floyd, alll these laid the foundation for me. Even Steve Taylor's Sin for a Season arguably could be a GREAT doom song. So when I read about Trouble in the Illinois Noise issue of Heaven's Metal I had to check them out. I went to the record store and scored The Skull and Psalm 9 on Vinyl. I remember physically shuddering upon first listen but was I hooked! And then that BRILLIANT cover of Tales of Brave Ulysses... Oh man! Of course I then scooped Run TO The Light and I was a Trouble fanatic by the 1990 S/T. From there it was just a matter of branching out to other bands that caught my fancy |

| IronGuardian - Yeah, I remember getting my CD of 'Exhumed...' in the mail. It was the slowest, heaviest thing I had ever heard in my life at the time. Shortly after, a buddy let me hear My Dying Bride and it all began to gain perspective. Both Paramaecium & MDB are with me to this day when I'm in the mood for the Doom Death stuff...great bands! ghosts - Great story! I remember hearing "Green River" & "Paint It Black" growing up alongside "Paranoid" on Rock radio in Richmond VA. I also remember reading about Trouble in Heaven's Metal. I would have loved to get those albums on vinyl back in the day...I was a cassette man.
