5 Albums to Get You Into DOOM METAL

[@eubie6506]

why would u WANT to get into doom metal

[@deepcuts]

this guy

[@17Tomtac]

Same reason you'd be interested in getting into any other genre, artist, media, etc. To experience certain emotions in a novel way. In the case of this video Oliver just gave you five different flavors of crushing hopeless. I also personally like to take into account when listening to metal that the experience is intended to be a cathartic release of emotion and that the atmosphere allows for world building (AKA imagining fictional things). As a basic example: When I hear Metallica's "Call of Ktulu" I imagine a gargantuan THING rising up out of the water. My friend however envisions a H. P. Lovecraftian narrative unfolding. Through creating these fictional worlds we allow ourselves to semi-experience the sorts of emotions and thoughts that would occur were we inside that world and therefore experience catharsis. That's all I got...

[@metalhead9577]

While doom metal may be glacial slow, drone metal is so slow that it can warp space and time

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

I always wondered. Is drone metal considered a sub genre of doom metal. Cause i know Drone metal is hust mixing metal and drone music but i wonder

[@Embrod]

@@Somewhere_Bagel it began as part of doom, but it became subgenre of metal

[@Somewhere_Bagel]

@@Embrod oh thats actually pretty interesting

[@mausperson5854]

@@Somewhere_Bagel I literally lost my hearing in one ear (for se months) after an earplug fell out while watching SunnO))). I also had a weird kind of dandruff composed of plaster falling like snow from the ceiling of the Odeon in Hobart, Tasmania. Swans is the only other band to drag me to such deep aural waters in terms of potentially needing hearing aides for the rest of my life. Doom and drone challenge you on different levels - not that Swans are either - and imho make you all the better for the deafening experience.

[@wabby2285]

6) Sleep - Dopesmoker (2003) :)

[@jakeport5381]

Musobloke sursprised that one wasn't here

[@Mich6961]

I love Purple Hill Witch and Windhand

[@Neel-ff4mn]

I can't decide: Dopethone vs. Dopesmoker. Could've included Neurosis too! Do black, sludge, and death next. Please do noise rock too! 13:32 🎶D is 4 Doomie. It's good enough 4 me.🎶 15:17 Dude, u had me dying right there, lol!

[@ChibiChubbyRobo]

Neel 2000 why is 85-92 good? Lmao, I've been trying to get into it for years, only recently it clicked, now it sounds kinda cool....but it's seriously some of the most basic idm and drum machine patterns, in an ambient setting. What's the big deal? 😀

[@Neel-ff4mn]

Nick Garza I never said that I liked 85 92 (I just use the logo 2 catch other RDJ fans like me). I do agree with u that 85-92 is quite generic and dated ever since countless people have been emulating his sound. My fav AFX album is "I Care". But 2 85-92's credit, it makes good music 2 sleep or study to.

[@wabby2285]

Nick Garza 85-92 for me is like a sort of auditory equivalent to the days of Windows XP. Musicians influenced by Aphex always tend to still have an evolved sound, and the unique yet rudimentary quality of 85-92 is exactly why I love it so much. To me it's a soundscape to saturated images of green hills and blue sky wallpapers, screensavers of pipes, and empty shopping malls.

[@deepcuts]

Look Neel you're turning our doom metal discussion area into an Aphex discussion! Shame on you

[@ymbertbonaventuredickens8878]

Nick Garza i have the same problem. both are as good... K guess... Dopethrone is a bit more catchy, but I cannot jam and headbang to it as much as I can with Dopesmoker. It's like a Motörhead of Stoner Doom.

[@butchvito]

I think "Come My Fanatics" is just as important as "Dopethrone." Both killer albums.

[@KindanThe1st]

Witchcult today is soooooo tight too

[@JamesSmithereen]

Yes, Return Trip alone is worth the price of admission

[@davidavila8805]

We Live & let us prey are so underrated

[@BigDaddyZakk420]

Dopethrone is a damn masterpiece. And I don't even really like doom as a whole.

[@PyroGhost27]

As starters I would definitely recommend Swallow The Sun - New Moon and My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans, and for the seasoned listener Esoteric - The Maniacal Veil, they take everything Thergothon did to the extreme.

[@jhwa02]

i would highly recommend a sludge doom metal record by Indian called From All Purity. There is experimentation with noise music and it creates one of the most oppressive, unrelenting, harsh, and brutal atmospheres you could ever imagine. The vocals are near inhuman. It all creates a very dark, and deafeningly loud doom metal album

[@deepcuts]

Thanks for the recc Jack!

[@derek_murray]

Jack Harris Would you really call From All purity Doom? It seemed a little too fast paced for me but it's been awhile since I last listened. it's still an excellent album and I'd say it's a must listen for people looking for the most disgusting metal.

[@jhwa02]

it's a little faster paced than other doom records but i'd personally still consider it doom. i can see where most ppl would think it tended more towards straight sludge metal though

[@AAboardCo]

Jack Harris No way! I just mentioned the same record in this comment section haha.

[@ethanjaynes9314]

holy shit! thanks for the suggestion - as a huge fan of The Body and similar sounding stuff I can't believe I'm just finding these guys

Yoooo doom metal is probably my favourite metal subgenre. MUCH LOVE BBY, GREAT CONTENT AS ALWAYS

[@deepcuts]

thx bbz

[@zucchinisurprise6347]

Any chance on a guide to Neurosis video? One of my favorite bands of all time and, imo, incredibly important to the development of doom, sludge, and post-metal. Would also be cool to see a video on post-metal in general, bands like Neurosis, Isis, Sumac, Kayo Dot, Intronaut, etc.

[@post.hack.depression]

Pallbearer is fantastic!!!!! Such a great band. I would personally probably include a Sleep record on here (either Holy Mountain or Dopesmoker) but this is a great starting list. Great genre!

[@thewitchfindergeneral4015]

I would recommend these albums to get into doom: 1) Master of Reality - Sabbath ( ik that’s cheating but still good to start with ) 2) Death Penalty - Witchfinder General 3) Holy Mountain - Sleep 4) Relentless - Pentagram 5) Lord of Hypocrisy - Pagan Altar

[@pierskeegan3425]

master of reality may be my fav black sabbath good, classic choice as its v well-established

[@Rowjimmyguitar]

Pentagram is just so lame to me i cant get into them

[@agoat3557]

[@lgr2284]

You know how in movies when people hear the Beatles or something like that and it shows the character visibly entranced... Dopethrone was that for me. Dopethrone is one of my favorite albums of all time. I always recommend to people and will never stop. Fckn masterpiece. Chef's kiss all around.

[@Dimensional_Walker]

I'm delightedly suprised to see Thergothon on your list, really underrated band.

[@radzo1675]

Warhorse - "As Heaven Turns to Ash", Winter - "Into Darkness", My Dying Bride -"Turn Loose the Swans"

[@TheMorganRose]

Wow, a Warhorse nod! Sadly a band that broke up too soon to really get their day in the spotlight. Saw them a long time ago in Chicago as an opener for Electric Wizard on their Dopethrone tour. Acid King was on the bill too so yeah, epic to say the least!

[@aminik5739]

Great Video! Checked out the Pallbearer album and was completely blown away by how immaculate the production and playing was. Thanks for the recommendation and will check out more from the genre

[@Mikeanglo]

The Pallbearer album is incredible. Mirror Reaper by Bell WItch is also awesome.

[@rickc2102]

DOPESLAYER!

[@turtleisasturtledoes6707]

Okay Oliver I took up your challenge. Never been much a fan of Doom Metal but I never really disliked it either. The few albums I have come across in this genre were interesting but I never returned to them. Here is what I thought of the albums you suggested. Keep in mind I have only given them one complete listen. There were two I didn't care for. Trouble "Psalm 9" - Yes they do some interesting things musically here but it is not enough to make an impact on my enjoyment. They sound like a less entertaining version of Iron Maiden or Ratt and I am not a fan of either of those bands. Thergothon - Stream From The Heavens - Whenever I hear music that sounds like this,. especially with these kind of vocals, I just start laughing. I don't know why. I know they are artists who take what they do seriously. But for some reason I can't. It is like watching a child in Halloween mask for me. There was one that I liked but didn't quite love Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus - This was such a big improvement over that Trouble album. The ideas were bolder and the instrumentals more emotive. The vocals were cold and intriguing like an abandoned castle at twilight or something. I have nothing bad to say except it still sounded a bit too much like 80s hair metal and nothing was particularly memorable. Two I really loved Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction (2012) - Spotify tells me this is 48 minutes but it could have been three hours. For me when I lose all sense of time that is a sign of quality music. This music takes you to a place and keeps you there. Always moving just enough to keep you feeling engaged. For the first five minutes I wasn't sure I was going to like it. But it this music has a way of growing on you and become part of something inside of you. Brilliant. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone - This is exactly how I like metal music. Throbbing pummelling and disorientating. Everything is messy yet somehow it stays together though always on verge of falling apart. I was engaged every second until that moment I suddenly realized that I have been in a trance for 5 minutes. How does that happen? There those were my thoughts. Cheers

[@david500006]

Turtle is as Turtle Does Yeah Psalm 9 isn't doing anything for me either, pretty boring actually

[@gamer966]

quality content right there, thanks

[@kolossalskrimp]

Turtle is as Turtle Does have you heard anything else by Pallbearer?

[@artturnerjr]

Yeah, I just can't listen to anything with "death growl" vocals on it. I usually end up thinking how much better the music would sound without it. :(

[@Jw-un8oh]

Nobody cares about your personal attachments to music. Thousands of people worked together to create this genre and thousands more are keeping it alive. Go listen to music you know how to respect.

[@derek_murray]

Pallbearer needs more love, they haven't put out a bad album and Heartless shows that their songwriting is getting tighter. Made my day seeing them included in this video.

[@bartosso]

Can't wait for your next video, man!! I mean literally, I can't just sit and wait, I have to go to work.

[@erictallant4965]

Fantastic album that defines the genre.

[@markdavidofficial4274]

I'm surprised Sleep Dopesmoker isn't here

[@andyfigueroa9599]

[@thugnificent9143]

Dopesmoker is stoner metal more than doom. Electric wizard meanwhile is definitely doom despite having a psychedelic sound

[@Aaron-dt9pu]

Sleep - holy mountain And dopethrone

[@mattford1593]

My Dying Bride's 'Turn Loose The Swans' should really be in this list! Devastating masterpiece from the more avantgarde end of the doom spectrum.

Could you do '5 albums to get into IDM'?You did mention the genre at times but you haven't really gone into much depth.I would suggest an 'Aphex Twin' album, Thom Yorke's 'Tommorow's Modern Boxes' and maybe an 'Autechre' album.As I said, those were only suggestions but IDM is a very interesting genre and I would really appreciate it if you do a video on it.

[@kristofbe1]

Although I think Thergothon is great, I love Skepticism's Stormcrowfleet even more. The Call of the Wretched Sea by Ahab is definitely worth and honourable mention as well, I think. Another great video, well done! Looking forward the Eno and Björk videos.

[@notanm6616]

Props for including Trouble into the list, as they often get overlooked and overshadowed by Pentagram, Candlemass, Saint Vitus etc., and this is coming from a huge Saint Vitus fan. I think Pagan Altar is another "proto-doom" band that used to get overlooked a lot (given their history) and they are amazing, doom in a purest form: bluesy, soulful, and built on of emotion. And you are right, Sorrow And Extinction is a fantastic album, one of the best doom records that came out during this decade. Cheers.

Just getting into doom, checked out the albums one by one as you went through them in the vid. I liked elements of all of the first four albums for sure but nothing blew me away. Then you got to Pallbearer. And I put the album on. Holy shit. A real game changer for me! Brilliant idea to include something contemporary that showcases a unique take and also an homage to past doom bands.

[@mr.d.572]

I want to mention some of the "white" doom metal bands that are very underappreciated: 1) Veni Domine 2) Forsaken 3) Paramaecium 4) Place Of Skulls (Victor Griffin from Pentagram)) 5) Pÿlon 6) Illuminandi 7) Kohllapse 8) Century Sleeper 9) Goliath Particularly excellent is Forsaken's "After The Fall" album - crushingly heavy riffs, combined with really excellent song-writing and dark atmosphere.

Either of their two latest records. Also, I back his choice of Pallbearer but I prefer Heartless to their debut.

[@MrSnuffian]

Monolord - Empress RIsing

[@arryospeedwagon]

Aanndd I forgot Hooded Menace. Really love that last one.

[@MrSnazzy01]

Early Proto Doom (even though the lines are blurred) - Blue Cheer/Randy Holden - Pentagram/Bedemon - Mountain/Leslie West - Budgie (self-titled is heavy af) - Jerusalem - Atomic Rooster (more prog-ish) - Bang (superb riffs) - Barnabus (not very popular at all. check out 'the war drags on') If you're gonna appreciate the heaviness of doom you should check out where it evolved from.

[@BrodyCox]

I know someone knows what they're talking about when they have Delirium Tremens in the background

[@GoblinSatyr]

Doom Metal is one of my favorite genres of Metal...Very nice list deep_cuts. To extend your list (or even offer an alternate) some of my favorite bands of the genre are as follows; There's the band Conan, from Liverpool (My personal favorite-check out "Blood Eagle") Slomatics, from Belfast. Salem's Pot and Monolord, from Sweden. Lycus, from Oakland, CA. Khemmis, from Colorado. Destroyer Of Light, from Austin, TX. Shroud Eater, from Florida. There are, obviously, too many to cover. I personally appreciate your acknowledgement of the genre PERIOD! Cheers, and hope to see some more great posts!

A Drone guide would be dope, cheers on another superb vidya

Drone Doom does also exist. Sunn O))) - Black Wedding

Just discovered the channel, great work. Dopethrone is probably one of my favourite album. It is so amazingly heavy and crushing, filthy and powerful. You can really feel the hatred they put in this album and it's definitely why it's so great in my opinion. Beside this one and sleep dopesmoker I never really digged into Doom metal. I guess this video is the perfect occasion to fill the gap. Thanks.

Checked out Thergothon on your recommendation. ''Yet the watchers guard'' proper fucked me up, truly evil stuff.

The first two Khanate albums completely blew me away. It's possibly the most evil and unsettling music on the planet.
