I think that Doom Metal is in unmatched in music for simply how MASSIVE it sounds. Like a great, lumbering colossus, trudging across the land. Very few other genres capture that sense of scale as effectively as Doom does.

[@keystep8669]

Yeah. I think that's why I like it. I don't find death metal as heavy for that reason even if the aggression is less present in doom compared to other subgenres

[@MrKingkz]

Same i don't really like most other metal genres because of the lack of heavyness and atmosphere i think most other metal is more noisy then heavy like metalcore doom hits you in the gut and ads psychedelic which i also love

[@vavra222]

Maybe its because deep, rumbling sounds/notes give it the "fullness"? Personally, i hate songs that are just high-pitched. Whenever im able to hone in on a base in a song and follow it, it really changes the way i see that song. I kinda dislike drowned out base, i am always glad whenever i at least know its there. Now for the tempo, it doesnt work out for me too often, a few times when i came home absolutely sh.tfaced and fell asleep to some music to distract me from the spinning world, Doom metal was really great for falling asleep instead of vomiting.

[@THICCTHICCTHICC]

Dopethrone is a legit WALL of noise

[@MrKingkz]

@@THICCTHICCTHICC And whats interesting is that they have studded what a T Rex sounds like and its low and bassy that vibrates your core and now palaeontologists think that we are built to find low frequencies scary which makes doom scientifically more evil then other metal just on that fact alone

[@Sumoniggro]

Old school My Dying Bride, Parade Lost, Anathema, Swallow the Sun. I like my doom with growls.

[@SoNorthitzSouth]

I love Doom so much. Definitely recommend Electric Wizard "Funeralopolis", Pallbearer is a huge one for me I would start with their Foundations of Burden album. Thou/The Body's "The wheel Weaves as the Wheel Wills" is absolutely soul crushing. Shrinebuilder's self-titled album is great stoner doom, I got recc'd it at a YOB concert 10 years ago, and in the vein of stoner Bongzilla, Bongripper, and Weedeater especially are great. Speaking of, YOB is my highest recommend as they are my ultimate doom band. When I heard YOB's "Marrow" live my perception of music was changed forever. Also "Beauty in Fallen Leaves" but really the entire Clearing the Path to Ascend album is a must listen to any doom-prospectives out there. Please I cannot shill YOB enough if you read this go fucking listen now.

[@jackdaw3822]

YOB is absolutely beautiful! I love Neurosis a lot as well

[@bake-io1cf]

I would recommend Stream of the Heavens by Thergothon and Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch. Not strictly doom, more like Black Metal but i still like recommending Drawing Down the Moon by Beherit.

[@jimmyellis7951]

Saw them with Bell Witch years ago.. I got higher than bird pussy and felt like the guitar/bass tones and wide intervals between kick drum and snare hits were making me levitate off the ground. Twas trippy.

[@skeven0]

ive been saying this for years, but if you listen to the breakdowns (slower parts) of classic death metal, you get a big doom vibe

I love death doom but there must be something about it that is restricting or shallow because a lot of bands I like that started out making death doom moved away from it after an album or two. (Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Katatonia)

[@harrison1675]

I really enjoy the fact that you fuck with popular culture, it keeps the videos extremely hilarious while making sure the humor doesn’t become out of touch.

[@MrJesseLonge]

[@AcidReign156]

Awesome. Pentagram is such a good doom metal band and metal band in general. I also would've included Witchfinder General. You can just hear the Paranoid era of Sabbath in their song's. Probably the most overlooked when talking about the scene they were very much a part of.

[@abbieurick1182]

Absolutely love Witchfinder General! I’m sad they weren’t included, they were the first doom metal I ever loved

[@foxman8882]

YOB is an incredible Doom band. It’s unlike anything that I’ve heard before. It’s got clean vocals, screaming, slow tempos, fast tremolo, finger picking, cosmic influences, and guitars tuned to A standard. A more brutal band recommendation is Conan. Conan tunes to F which is absolutely ridiculously insane.

I like doom metal, but I am also a stoner whom is into the occult and macabre, and also the traditional British 1960s folk, and early 70s prog. So Uncle Acid and Blood Ceremony are my two favourites of the contemporary scene. They're damn perfect and their riffs are wicked af. When I want something heavier, I prefer early Burzum, Mayhem, and Darkthrone. Yes, I am Norwegian.

"Lost Paradise" and "Gothic" by Paradise Lost are two quintessential classic death-doom records.

Sumphonaire infernos et spear imperium by My Dying Bride is godlike. That and their first full album are just magnificent. Then theyreleasedTurn Loose the Swans and it was all over. Worst of goth, worst of metal etc… But their first few eps and album… best Doom ever imho

​@@lachlanwelsh5880 My Dying Bride got better with 'the dreadful hours' and 'songs of darkness, words of light', and I personally like the 'angel and the dark river' and their extremely experimental '34.788% complete' but yes they never get close to their first two eps and first two albums with any of their releases since.

[@Windykun]

The difference is that death metal is more about embracing the dark side coming sometimes from people that have never done these things irl and “some” people that hurt themselves for publicity, Doom metal is about actually having experienced these things first hand and for the most part sharing their first hand experiences with black magic and freak accidents and war, like like the first Black Sabbath recording aptly named Black Sabbath being preforming black magic rituals and paying the price for it, more specifically, about geezer butler seeing a depiction of satan sitting off the end of his bed during sleep paralysis after doing a dark ritual before hand, these is more emphasized when you hear ozzy’s lyric “Satan sitting there, he’s smiling” and you hear a sense of dread and absolute fear in his voice during the whole thing, it’s expressing fear from a first hand account rather than embracing purely for clout
