I always liked St Vitus and Sleep but I'm pretty ignorant about this genra. Bought a Pentagram album and a record by this band called Northless I stumbled upon online. I'm really into this stuff right now. I want to find some extremely sludgy, slow,heavy stuff.

ELECTRIC WIZARD

the music is alright the fans are annoying.

Dude I live in MS. I'm the only fan here. Your right though, that's probably a good thing. I just get on music kicks. Right now it's really fast hardcore and really slow metal.

Really digging Electric Wizard. Nice. That kind Of musical knowledge is why I come here.

Pagan Altar
Witchfinder General
Coffins
Corrupted
Worship
Skepticism
Thorr's Hammer (NOT the NSBM band)
Fleshpress
CONAN
Pallbearer

I'll make a mix or something and upload it here.

Beast in the Field. Tawas City Mi. maybe Oscoda Mi...?

Shit Matt Russell would hate:
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Earth - III, Pentastar in the Style of Demons or the Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars lp
Burning Witch - Towers ep
Sunn 0))), an Earth tribute band (member of Thor's Hammer & Burning Witch)
OM (ex-Sleep)
Paul Chain - (Death SS guitarist) Park of Reason
Slow Horse

Kvelertak -- is the new favorite around our house. My husband is obsessed
At The Gates -- Slaughter Of The Soul is a GREAT record that I can listen to for hours on end.
Sacrilege
Pelican
Old Man Gloom
Pig Destroyer (someone might debate me on the classification, but that shit is good)
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
The Sword

I can't get into Sunn and I have known the original guys from Earth since I was in my late teens.

I am guessing that someone might want to debate me on the classification of most of that stuff, but if you are looking really good metal, maybe not doom metal.

Candlemass and PAUL CHAIN are seconded.

2nd Candlemass LP and Paul Chain "Detaching From Satan" are certified ASS-POUNDERS.

Warning and 40 Watt Sun
Yeah and most of what ida typed wouldn't be considered slow dirgey doom metal. Some of it is great metal though

Dopelord
Rites

can't believe no one mentioned Trouble, the first 3 LPs are great

tread lightly into the Obsessed's catalog, lots of yawns in it...

Black Flag-My War

Burning Witch-Crippled Lucifer lp
Electric Wizard-Dopethrone lp
Count Raven
Abdullah-s/t

Doom / Sludge / Stoner bands that might be worth a shit:

Windhand - http://windhandva.bandcamp.com/
Dopefight - http://dopefight666.bandcamp.com/
Moss - http://mossdoom.bandcamp.com/
Ramesses - other part of the original Electric Wizard -
Yob -
Grief -
Iron Monkey -
Acid King -

Most that shit out of NOLA being more sludge than doom, but fuck it:

I want to get this lp. I knew Keith and Shaun when they were in Rat in a Bucket (great nola grind band that never released anything except a cdr) and Grant (the guitarist) fucking rules (part of the humorously named "Graveweed"). The bassist is in Spickle with Paul from Mangina, they're technical instrumental metal.

Now that whatdatsay opened the gates, or more precisely when ida did with her suggestion of non-Doom bands, try Church of Misery and Boris, both from Japan. Church of Misery is stonery and every Boris record sounds different.

RAT IN A BUCKET ruled.


Stabat Mater
Otesanek (pre-TIREFIRE, HIGH PRIEST)
the 2nd AUTOPSY album
dISEMBOWELMENT
THOU (Not really doom, but I like them)

THERGOTHON
MOURNFUL CONGREGATION

not doom metal, but badass metal. Its 20 years old, but I just heard it a couple months ago. My new favorite metal record...

Black Hell and Graves at Sea would probably interest you if you can find anything by them. Also Anathema and Paradise Lost's early stuff is pretty good. I enjoy their later stuff too but it gets pretty far away from what we are tying about here.

Graves at Sea

Isn't somebody who was in Noothgrush in that band?
Oh yeah, Noothgrush.

I like what I've heard of the new Graveyard... I'm not an affcionado of the genre tho... so I don't know if the reason it hasn't been mentioned yet is because it's not mondo obscuro = cool enough.

I'm not an affcionado of the genre tho...


Godstomper, Crossed Out, Fork, Bongrider

Man is the Bastard

Flipper

Heater Moves & Eyes-- by The Melvins

Bongripper

And yep St Virus, Sleep, Electric Wizard, and Candlemass are all uber kvlt shit no one has ever heard of, spank relief.

[i]Godstomper, Crossed Out[ /i]

Wrong genre, but ruling. Saw Godstomper once in Chicago: "Let's play that song about killing people!" "Which one?" Set lasted 10 minutes and I think they knocked their whole drumkit over at least 3 times.

Bang, some American proto-doom from 1971

JERUSALEM! Ian Gillan-produced hard rock/proto doom metal from 71. Some serious brutality on that record.

Well if we are going to get into proto-doom, here are a few bands:
Flied Egg
Strawberry Path
Silence (45 only)
Rog and Pip (45 only)
Mushroom (45 only)
Josefus
Pentagram
Blackwater Park
Three Man Army
Incredible Hog
Tractor
Masters Apprentice
Buffalo
Leafhound
Toad
Seompi
Speed Glue & Shinki
Pussy (45 only)
Necromandus
Flying Hat Band
Dust
Armageddon (Germany)
Elias Hulk
Poobah
Hard Stuff

MOAR proto doom ('71)

Josefus

Dead Man is a great LP. Really digging the eponymous Demian record lately as well. Don't think it's doom though.

High Tide

kinda.

CAPTAIN FOAM 45
Side B of Blue Cheer "New! Improved!" LP
Randy Holden "Population II" LP

I just fell down a four hour doom metal internet rabbit hole. Bought some records. It was a good time.

Doomorific.

Gregorian Chants are the R&B of Doom Metal.

Check out The Gates of Slumber.

spank relief

I resemble that remark.

I just got Electric Wizard's - Black Masses(I think it's called)Double LP
Not near as tuff and heavy as Dopethrone. Kinda reminded me of Hawkwind at times. I wanted more heavy shit. Kinda bummed. I liked about 2/3 of it. I'll have to hawk some serious wind and give it another listen.

BURNING WITCH rules.
all the rest is CRAPOLA.
i'd rather listen to paint dry.

Yeah, Matt...You're right about Burning Witch. I'm into it

O.L.D. > Burning Witch

KHANATE sucked.

I just fell down a four hour doom metal internet rabbit hole. Bought some records. It was a good time.

What did you buy?

all the rest is CRAPOLA. i'd rather listen to paint dry.

Come on Matt, no love for "the very heavy gnome?"

Tirefire is just sped up doom. We all know that. Matt Muscle should have worn more wizard robes on stage.

"I've Got A Two Wheeled Sled Of Molten Chrome
A Well Done Iguana And A Real Heavy Gnome"

HAHAHA....rules.

That song is about mainlining speed in your neck.

That's pretty skate-punkirific for a Doom band.

Somebody needs to put some Doom to this:

Check out my noo doom band, "The Male Gaze."

can't believe no one mentioned Trouble, the first 3 LPs are great
Trouble is where it's at.

cajun arsonist. hands down!

Time for an update

Horehound.
