Hey Metalheads, I just got myself in real deep with Doom Metal. I'm in love with it. So far, I've been listening to Longing for Dawn, Hypothermia, Funeral, Before the Rain, and Wreck of the Hesperus. The clean vocals are a turn on, but as you can tell by some of the bands, I love harsh vocals as well. Whatever you can suggest would be sweet. Thanks!

Ahab - The Call of the Wretched Sea

 

[DarkAngel]

Shape of Despair - Angels of Distress
Shape of Despair - Shades of

Pantheist - O Solitude

My Dying Bride - Line of Deathless Kings
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness
My Dying Bride - Like Gods of the Sun
My Dying Bride - Angel and the Dark River
My Dying Bride - Light at the End of the World
My Dying Bride - Dreadful Hours
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans

Three in bold are absolutely essential albums of the doom genre

Other than sissy flower metal, doom metal is my least favorite genre, but here are a few that I would recommend to anyone.

Witchfinder General - Friends of Hell
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty

Cathedral - Forest of Equilibirum.
Cathedral - Endtyme

Any Candlemass

Any Stabat Mater

Any Solitude Aeturnus

I dunno if it is "doom" metal, but try Swallow the Sun. I love their stuff, great clean and death vox.

 

[Nacher]

I think Virgin Black - Requiem : Mezzo-Forte could classify as doom metal.

For more traditional doom metal with great and dramatic clean vocals, Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory and Harbinger of Metal are great.

Anyway, thanks guys, these should keep me busy for a while, but keep 'em coming if you think of anything else!

Electric Wizard - "Come My Fanatics..."

The first song, Return Trip, is the heaviest thing on this earth. The whole album is just so incredibly heavy & slow. Much much better than their later efforts.
