Educate the NOOB.....

Subject: Educate the NOOB..... Thu Apr 26, 2007 9:41 pm

So, being the noob here, I'm in need of some education on this here "doom" thingy....

I already know I'm not going to be big into the "stoner rock" thing. or basically anything that one would apply "rock" to more aptly than "metal"......

I love:

Keen of the Crow (who are sadly already disbanded)

My Dying Bride's Turn Loose the Swans and A Line of Deathless Kings

Morgion's entire catalog

Morphia

And I've
recently been enlightened with Candlemass.

I remeber Cathedral being mentioned years back, when I first heard my
Dying Bride, so I'm already planning on checking them out....

So basically, I know I tend to like some death metal mixed with my doom
....educate me on what's out there, and what I may like that's not as "deathy" as the bands I've listed.

All the bands I listed have deathy vocals or a death/girl combo...

Subject: Re: Educate the NOOB..... Fri Apr 27, 2007 11:30 am

Most of mine are traditional doom with the exception of MSW, which is more of a gothic death doom hybrid.

I want to pimp Place of Skulls. I really hope they aren't done.

Subject: Re: Educate the NOOB..... Thu May 03, 2007 6:06 pm

I've heard Ahab before, and wasn't overly impressed....the older Candlemass stuff I've grabbed....musically, I love it, but the dude has a serious case of "billy goat" vibrato going on that's not my thing......

Maybe some Jack Frost?? GEEN!

oh...I mean... Sad

Subject: Re: Educate the NOOB..... Fri May 04, 2007 8:21 am

Pelata scores on 3 of 4 choices. I'm particularly partial to Novembers Doom....which should surprise NOBODY....lol

Now on to Trog's list......

COOL! THEY HAVE A NEW ONE OUT ,DON'T THEY, I HAVEN'T HEARD IT YET.HOPEFULLY MORE DOOM AND MORE FEMALE VOCALS IN THE MIX.

Subject: Re: Educate the NOOB..... Thu Jun 14, 2007 6:14 pm

Well, I was SUPPOSED to see VB this Sunday, but they've cancelled all their datges they had prior to their Mexico run.... Not impressed

Sorry man,I had a chance to see doomers Iron Man a couple of years ago but due to lack of reliable transportation they never made it down here, so I know how you feel.
