Funny thing with Sleep and Electric Wizard is they literally had both similar musical arcs but in opposite directions; both bands pretty much took each other’s sound. In their beginnings, Sleep was Sludgy, Nihilistic, and a 4-piece; while Electric Wizard were more psychedelic, spacey, and a 3-piece. And then they switched directions respectively from there-on.

[@gavin6666]

22:04 Seth actually only did one show with Upsidedown Cross when he was their guitar player (that show was at the Polish American Club in Southbridge, MA on April 20th, 2001). He joined in 1999 and the band broke up in 2003 (no recordings with him exist despite him being credited on the split 7" with Sloth they did). There was an attempt to get upsidedown cross back together with Josh Martin on guitar and John Gillis on drums but it failed due to cheez (bass player) not being in a state to play a musical instrument. Josh ended up starting the band "Adolf Satan" with Larry Lifeless (vocals), Seth Putnam (drums), and Nick Camilleri (bass) (Seth quit and moved to texas before they even did a demo and Nate Linehan became their drummer). UDC did get back together as a two piece in 2011 (larry on guitar and vocals with seth on drums) and did some shows but only rehearsal footage of that lineup currently exists.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Hellyeah! Definitely some projects here that are new to me that I'm checking out (i.e. Black Bile from Cyprus). Ahab's "The Call of the Wretched Sea", Bvried at Sea's "Migration", Agalloch's (I consider them Blackened Folk Doom) "The Mantle" and "Ashes Against the Grain", and Bell Witch's "Mirror Reaper" are utter masterpieces and my favorite albums overall in the entire Doom genre. Morbid Evils, Conan, Amenra, Indian, Spectral Voice, None, Hooded Menace, Mournful Congregation, and Warning are all personal favorite bands I dig too-- Primitive Man's music rips too, but their political statements can be really cringe and kind of ruin some of the preference in wanting to listen to them. I and my buddy Foster of Bukavac also have a Funeral/ Psychedelic Lovecraftian Doom Metal project called Pythonissam.

Another band worth checking out is Slow, from Belgium. The Russian doom label, Solitude Productions has had some great doom bands from all across the board.

That last tier was so hard to listen I said the exact same words you said. Outstanding video and reccomendations as always. Speaking of the band Trees of Eternity, Juha Raivio released another project named Hallatar in 2017 as a tribute to Aleah's memory. Listening to those records knowing the tragic backstory and paying attention to the lyrics was difficult for me. You really need to have a specific mindset to listen to those two albums in one session... I even was very surprised by the vocal delivery by Amorphis' Tomi Joutsen. It contains some of the harshest vocals he's ever done and Aleah's voice is on the final track... so many emotions in one night.

Ahab hasn't been Funeral Doom in a long time IMHO ("The Divinity Of Oceans" was the last true case of this in their discography) and they have since become their own beast I call Post-Doom, having added Progressive, Psychedelic, Death, Stoner and Jazz tendencies to their instrumental palette. Daniel has also added more optimistic inflections to his clean vocal melodies.

[@qriofficial1769]

Electric Wizard, Eyehategod and Acid Bath are some of my favorite metal bands of all time so it was great to see them finally get some attention in this video!

[@simplebutnotsolongname6642]

2 bands for Death Doom that I felt prudent to mention are Dream Death’s Journey into Mystery (1987), and perhaps a highly contentious one, Celtic Frost’s first 2 albums (Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion), and By extension, Hellhammers Apocalyptic Raids EP. Both I believe were more associated with thrash, and for Celtic Frost, black metal. But musically, while certainly having thrash elements and influencing Black Metal (for CF), I always felt that they had less in common with bands from those genres; and it clicked for me to associate them with Death Doom, especially if you compare them to Early Paradise Lost and Winter. Both bands were the first in the genre to incorporate Elements of Doom, Slower tempos, and heavy rhythms à la Black Sabbath. If nothing else, I can at least say that HellHammer’s Triumph of Death is one of, if not the first example of Death Doom. I also want to say that, while not necessarily a doom metal band themselves, Darkthrone were one of the Earlier Black Metal Bands that incorporated a lot of Doom metal in their music, especially in Under a Funeral Moon and Panzerfaust. And I’d say a lot of that had to do with Celtic Frost’s style and influence.

[@TheLordDruid]

Dream Death! Bad ass old school!

[@Nazgul094]

Some omissions aside, this a very good general, overall spread of the whole doom genre and its different veins. Bands that I personally would've expected to see in their respective tiers (but of course as you said from the very beginning, you couldn't fit every single doom band in this video): The Body, Toadliquor, Bottom Feeder, Meth Drinker, [Asunder, Dispirit and The Gault, three of the bands where John Gossard from Weakling played in], and Funeral (the band that gave Funeral Doom its name in the first place), Un, Usnea (these two I saw years ago, a really killer show) and Lycus. Fun fact, Boris, as you mentioned in the video, don't stick to a single genre, they just play whatever they like with each new album. They composed the instrumental piece for an idol group called Saka Sama, you can find them credited in the video's description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip3WaZeQlLOdmrM

[@Sarhamnjo]

You asked for it! So some additions of unmentioned bands to this wonderful Video. Thank You. I´ll limit it to tree: Most obvious; I´d even categorize them into the Top Tier: "Solitude Aeturnus", early band, having played their Epic Doom Style for all of the nineties through and into the 2000s, having released a flawless discography of 6 full lengths, to me being the best their second one "Beyond the crimson Horizon" "Conan" I will mention too, though they are hard to categorize, maybe the Stoner section, though i don´t find it really befitting. To me they always sound like Fudge Tunnel would have decided to play Doom Metal now. An absolutely fabulously refined guitar tone, that makes anyone forget, that the riffs played might be heard earlier, but never like that. Sometimes it´s not what You do, it´s how You do it, and in this regard Conan are Masters. Then, because right now, I´m head over heals in love with them, i have to mention "Thy listless heart". Definitely emotive Doom Category. Just one Album yet, just released last year. But for anyone who doesn´t need walls of sound at any time, but who can do with classy bits of versatile instrumentation, thoughtfully refined athmospheres and sometimes subtle tensions, mostly clean vocals and poetry about the first step away from suicide and stuff like that; well for those people I´d say it´s a must listen. Just amazing. ... well and i can´t limit myself to three, I´ll have to mention my 2 favourite Stoner Newcomers from 2021 too, which are Heavy Temple (quite psychedelic) and Wormsand (More the riffy kind of stoner with a kneck for grooves).

Great video m8! One sludge doom band that fits well in the iceberg is Toadliquor. Their compilation album, The Hortator’s Lament, smacks hella good!

[@ianjohnson9498]

Ayo, I don’t agree with every individual take here but this is a stellar video that deserves my like

[@kingoftheskulls9376]

Ophis would've been a good addition to Extreme Doom tier!

[@schuldinerobscura]

Yooo Wyatt one thing you should do maybe in the future is put the titles of the songs and artist on the screen for a brief moment 👍🏼

[@ThorDagdason]

A band I'd like to add to this list is Monolithe. Their style has changed over the years, starting out as a unique take on funeral doom before progressing into a less heavy version of that. Their lyrics deal with concepts like outer space, creation, the origin of humanity, etc. Their first 4 LPs -Monolithe I, II, III and IV- all consist of 1 song each and are their heaviest and longest songs, ranging between 50 and 60 minutes each. Also, their most recent album, Kosmodrom, is about the Space Race from the perspective of the USSR.

[@georgesamaras4731]

Khanate - Things Viral? the most soulcrushing drone doom piece of art ever created? with Sunno's Stephen o Malley on guitars? i think this is a huge overlook sir.

[@kingdiamondscream]

THANK YOU for informing the mortals of IRON MONKEY the original lineup

[@patrickbertlein4626]

Damad is another sick one!

[@jordanrochester6030]

Haven't heard of most of the bands here so thanks for the new music dude ❤

[@juanmeowmix1530]

Only funeral doom is real! Good video with spot on observations for the most part. Besides the basics, I dove in with more of the doom death / goth doom bands, pretty much the Peaceville Three. Then I found my final resting place, being funeral doom. So many great bands, from all over the place, though Russia has plenty of funeral doom bands. Great labels too. Senthil is welll... disturbing, and that's putting it very lightly. The vocal performance finds a way of piercing right through the skull. If you hear in areas, the vocalist turns away from the mic as he is dry heaving from self strangulation. Because of my limited emotional/mental capacity, I can only take them in small doses. I would say their music is the audio form of r--e. Thanks for the mention of Type O Negative.

Funeral doom is the best doom

[@paravan2000]

Funeral doom is just extreme gothic metal

[@zachw.5015]

great video so far. big miss on graves at sea in the gritty doom (sludge) section. their demo is one of the best sludge records ever released.

[@smt6858]

Would love to see a sludge metal iceberg

[@NolenSanders]

After seeing Mizmor live I can definitely say they are one of my most favorite bands in recent times. Only an Expanse is an absolute gem of a song

[@TiapanTerrorstory]

Love the presentation. Checkout Australian Doom greats Pod People. Hailing from Canberra. I was fortunate to see Eclectic Wizard, Pod People and Peeping Tom in 2005 QUT Bar, Brisbane. Awesome memories for life. Stay metal.

[@nikkolillie3670]

can your next iceberg be about war metal like sunami, irate nyc, outa pocket, gulch, etc. i don’t know if these guys would be considered war metal but that’s just what i heard them categorized as

[@mikerophone235]

Excellent list, like others say I think Melvins have to be mentioned (if only for Colossus of Density), as well as Crowbar, and maybe Grief too. 🖤

[@hypnovertigo7200]

Hey man you've been a massive inspiration to me for a long while and finally I have a proper computer to make videos. Hope to continue the beautiful streak of musical icebergs! I actually blasted Sunn O in my car and at a red light someone next to me, some was blasting Wu Tang Clan. What an amazing combination of sounds I've never heard before. Edit (an hour after watching this): I decided to get very high and listen to the last album. My golly gee, was that a bit frightening. If you want to hear a female (and genuinely better) version of this sound, I do highly recommend Woods of Belial's Black Vampyrr. Edit (another one): If you guys think shrieks from groups like Wormphlegm are inhuman, then remember Roger Waters' inhuman shrieks on Careful with That Axe. It genuinely sounds like a similar technique with more reverb. (Not trying to downplay anything, just an observation)

[@user_343]

what about disembowelment? in my opinion transcendence into peripheral is one of the best albums of all time.

[@Mayhamsdead]

One of my favorites as well. Good taste!

[@doctorspiderface8020]

This episode is what has convinced me to do a AMP stream that’s nothing but doom metal.

[@MasterKeySolutions]

Glaring omissions in their respective tiers, Monolord, High on Fire, Melvins, Fu Manchu and Crowbar. And I think I heard you mention Bell Witch in passing for Funeral Doom. They deserved more attention as they are at the cutting edge of that sub genre imo. Cheers.

[@Trogdor_Strongbraid]

Where does The Sword fall for ya? Gonna check out more of your vids, got a lot of good funeral reqs

[@cool-km7yo]

Wish Toadliquor would've made the list I once saw someone describe the vocals as being gagged with a bandana dipped in gasoline and still think thats the perfect description amazing band, great video regardless

[@benng4376]

Burning Witch and Thorrs Hammer were both big ones for me as well. Not sure where you would include them.

[@slipknotfan_555]

Burning Witch is my second favorite band, Bengi

[@pimkoopmann2281]

Shout out to the Gravediggaz Vinyl in the back doing the lonely job of representing!

[@bored_zombie6675]

Nice use of Warning in the background

[@dr2926]

No Conan? Bell Witch? YOB?

[@shrineofmadlaughter]

If there is anyone here who got an interest with the last band Wyatt mentioned (Senthil), I HIGHLY recommend Nivathe. Another project of Plague (the vocalist of Senthil) that is even more intense and torturous.

[@nickk1143]

Loved this one; Doom is my favorite style! If I could pick one band that got missed on this list that would be Conan - so heavy it’ll pull the moon out of orbit 🤘

[@sidthejovian5105]

:) 🤘🏼

[@TealScarab]

Really wish you included Monolord with the stoner doom tier, I think they’re a pretty sweet band in that style.

[@fclefjefff4041]

So make your own video and include Monolord

[@S0leil___]

OVERJOYED WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIF !!!! tysm because i decided like a week ago to start listening to more doom metal. very on time lol

[@hunterv9259]

"nightmare doom" is an incredibly cool name, i hope that catches on lol

[@jelspawn]

Great video!! Just let me recommend a couple of spanish bands that would fit perfectly in some of the tiers, one being Barbarian Swords from Barcelona, a perfect blend of black metal and the most agonic doom you're gonna hear out there. The other band would be Orthodox, from Seville, especially with their first album, "Gran Poder"; crushingly slow doom metal. Check out "Geryon's Throne" half an hour of agonic drone doom.

[@Jimmy-n6j]

Thanks Wyatt for a well researched, imformative burger on Doom. Plenty of bands I will checkout . Suprised you didnt include Portal somewhere. They do some scary doomy damn fine. You made me laugh on that last portion of your iceberg . Agonising, noisedisturbing not natural tormented miserableunsettling and unwelcoming. !! Im going to have to be in the mood to check out that teir but im sure that day will come. Funny as but

[@preafericituflorin5823]

i feel like crowbar deserves a spot next to eyehategod

[@bluewinter6660]

Great picks, also didnt know some of these and will check them out 👍
