As someone who happens to front a doom band, I’m gonna make a song with the advice of this video and present it to my bandmates and see if they notice anything different than usual

[@evantaylor9566]

Let us know how it goes.

[@pechalna.rubuna]

Name of band?

[@RaptorShadow]

I'm basically using this as my guide for writing our next EP

[@CuzicanAerospace]

Andre: talks shit about a metal genre for 10-15 minutes Andre: makes legit song in that genre

[@VaughanRoderick]

As someone who can't actually remember being sober, I'd unironically buy an album of this.

[@DMXIII]

It's really good, how he manage to do it in every video?

[@ericb.4313]

Usually the best jokes are ones that insiders would have. Because the stereotypes are true.

[@C4Ti0]

Like every tutorial?!

[@Healibord]

His name is not Andre unfortunately

[@leachofsouls]

Doom is such a neat genre tho. It's the minimalist in a genre full of maximum. Also that song was fire.

[@crazydud3380]

Agreed, although this song was actually maximalist in its own way. Instrumentation is more paired down to the essence of metal, but vocally we get a choir and a chant toward the end, which is something straight out of the Epica maximalist playbook!

[@HaienTwitch]

I don`t think it is really minimalist I think some of the stuff is super technical or am I misinterpreting your full maximum? Like extremist?

[@69SalterStreet]

Yea pare metal back to the essentials and then crank what’s left to the absolute max.

[@erichobbs4042]

The thing which I feel raises Page Fire over other parody, is the fact that the group absolutely understands the material they are mocking. This is always evident by the absolute banger of an example song they produce at the end. It's like, you can't truly take the piss out of a genre until you love the genre completely.

[@tautology_zero]

Yes! This is the one I've been waiting for! Also, the song length is *only* 4:32? Surely that's just the intro?

[@harendotesabydos4619]

It is just an impression what it has to sound like. You have to multiply it by 10

[@102728]

It's sped up obv, it's supposed to be released in 3 full-length albums

[@gabriellamarsi1139]

"It's essentially proto-heavy metal still stuck in the 70's"... yeah, that's what we like about it. 😅 Great work, as always, the interlude with choir-y vocals made it 120% perfect!

[@focusman420]

This is probably my favorite series on KZbin. Let us all keep birthing micro-genres so the videos can never end. And show your friends, to make it lucrative.

[@nickkohlmann]

THIS

[@LeatherRebel75]

When you guys talked about the traditional doom bands like Candlemass and St. Vitus, you missed Trouble. They were also very important to the scene.

[@schwoarzman6884]

rip eric wagner

[@nundo7781]

@LeatherRebel75 💯💯💯 it’s almost blasphemy! Considering was definitely one of the first (if not maybe THE first) of this genre. If you don’t know Trouble, then you don’t know (doom) metal at all, period!!!

[@Warghoul]

Yeah they were great, and weren’t satanic either.

[@TheShaitan2000]

I never actually dig too much on this genre in my life, but as times are getting faster, I proportionally started to like the genre more and more. The Dopesmoker album is now my go to when I'm taking long walks.

[@jayocaine2946]

bro...listen to pentagrams last daze here, and warning - watching from a distance

[@Vaedh]

That’s me with black metal, I just walk around and it’s fun as hell

[@MetalKeith666]

Funeral doom and Classic doom are so good! Death doom too, my band is Death doom

[@zanjose9806]

i can already see how the funeral doom one will go, especially the drums cant wait

[@hilsdd8194]

it's always a good day when Page uploads

[@aleksisgabliks3881]

Doom metal works surprisingly well will folk elements. Gives the whole piece a dark fantasy ambience, like twisted folk tale full of despair and grief. Give a listen to druun(latvian band btw) if y'all interested

[@warped_rider]

Flesh Of The Stars is my current favorite Doom band, started off like the usual modern style but got more progressive as the albums went on. Also, fun fact about that Candlemass music video: Dead from Mayhem is in it.

[@devenscience8894]

I'll check out Flesh of the Stars. I fucking love Windhand. My favorite band in the genre.

[@jessechavez2923]

@@devenscience8894 I was just about to mention Windhand! My favorite doom metal band!

[@UnlimitedSithLordTCG]

FOTS is a great band..but I think Pallbearer has everyone beat

[@manfrombritain6816]

no matter how we try, black sabbath will always sounds darker and yet somehow more funk/motown than any of us ever will holy shit you didn't give Witchfinder General enough credit though. their eponymous song has the greatest guitar tone of all time

[@robwalsh9843]

That's one of the things I love about doom, sludge and stoner. You can sound brutally heavy and still have an ass-shaking funkiness to it

[@jasonlogan5622]

A-L: So what costumes do I need this time? Andri: A satanic JW, a singing nun and a sad cow A-L: A W E S O M E !!! (you killed it on the vocals BTW. Again!)

[@Aelle_Vox]

You're more accurate than you realize 😅Also thank you! ❤

[@martinhroch344]

Industrial Metal next, please!

[@superstarthomas]

One of my favorite genre 's, some of my favorite Doom and Sludge bands are KYPCK, Crowbar, Woods Of Ypres, Acid Bath, Isole, Confessor, My Dying Bride and Katatonia.

[@ericb.4313]

Can't wait for the sludge metal where the music more intimidating than it is when you realize you don't know the lyrics, and neither does the singer. Can you tell I've been listening to Eyehategod lately?

[@lucijaorsomething2564]

If you like SLudge Metal, you should try Acid Bath, they are super underrated but kind of a classic in the sludge metal scene!

Spectacular again, both in the completed song and in the buildup behind it. Great chance for the female vocals' day in the sun too! I continue to be amazed by just how good a job you folks do at so many different genres. Keep up the awesome work!

My favourites have always been the old Cathedral (Forrest of Equilibrium and Soul Sacrifice), diSEMBOWELMENT, and My Dying Bride (especially their old stuff). The last being the most melodic. Of new bands Konvent is a big favourite! (And Black Sabbath, of course!)

Pentagram is my favorite early doom metal band other than Black Sabbath of course. I got Last Daze Here on CD when I was around 13 and it absolutely blew me away. Electric Wizards Dopethrone will to me always be the absolute pinnacle of Doom though.

Yeah, I agree! Absolutely love that song... album and the band! Cathedral is also one of my favourite doom bands.
