  • THE BLUE WALL: Doom Metal

    Dez 25 2008, 20h51 por maidenhell

    My Doom Radio


    Revelling in tension, despair, and dread, Doom Metal prizes atmosphere more than many of Metals other primary subgenres. Doom uses plodding tempos, repeated chords, and thick, distorted, down-tuned guitars to attempt to envelope the listener in a wash of desperate foreboding that can commonly last to the ten minute mark and beyond. Instruments generally keep to the standard guitar, bass, and drums, but it is not unusual to add keyboard passages and backdrops.

    Doom vocals can be in any of the predominant Metal styles, but all share a determined attempt to invoke emotional hopelessness and mental anguish. This is further amplified by the lyrical themes of grief, depression, fear, resentment, and suffering that are hallmarks of the style.

    The roots of Doom Metal are considered to have been planted in the early 70s work of Black Sabbath. In the early and mid-80s, European artists like Witchfinder General and Candlemass adopted the Doom sound as a full fledged genre unto itself, as well as American acts like Saint Vitus, Trouble and Pentagram. Their style of thick and depressive Doom remained the standard until the early 90s, when newcomers such as My Dying Bride, Cathedral, Electric Wizard, and many others began to experiment in melding Doom with several other Metal subgenres. Doom has proven to be one of the most lasting and recognizable Metal styles, maintaining a relatively small but devoted fan base in many countries.

  • My Personal Top 100 Albums by Metal Bands

    Mai 14 2008, 7h09 por 6:00

    Just a personal list of my current favourites. I made the list for personal reference, but I enjoy a good conversation so I'm also posting it here. Note the title: the albums needn't be metal so long as they are by a band that was at one point metal. Ulver is probably the best example here, as neither of their albums which made the list are metal in the slightest. Also, the only criterion of 'metalness' is my own personal opinion. So no, I shan't remove RATM unless I inexplicably stop liking them.

  • A Guide to Doom-Metal Part II: Doom-Death

    Abr 6 2008, 13h43 por 399796kms

    Our journey into Doom continues with the burgeoning Doom-Death subgenre. A genre which boasts more variety than one might think.

    Dream Death: If the style of Doom-Death has one originator, it would be this band. They were in some ways typical of the Death metal acts birthed in the late 1980s. In others they weren't so typical, when most Death bands were all about blazing speed, these guys weren't afraid to slow things down for extended periods. This band and Winter had much in common lyrically and musically as well. Members from this band are still active in the Doom scene today, the core of this band forming Penance, further cementing their place as a proper Doom act. Rec albums: Journey Into Mystery, Back From the Dead

    Winter: A band that combined the political awareness of grindcore alongside a musical palette that was an extremely slow version of Celtic Frost, although now that Frost released Monotheist that comparison doesn't sound as apt anymore. Winter's music is painstakingly slow, bleak, cold and ugly. You won't find any fritty keyboards or female vocals in this band. A true tragedy they only recorded one full length and EP. Rec albums: Into Darkness, Eternal Frost.

    disEMBOWELMENT: Defying the rule that all Doom has to be slow, these Australians were a band of contrasting elements that fused wonderfully. You had blastbeats with slow guitar parts, clean guitar leads over distorted rhythm parts, moments of melodic beauty entwined with ugly, pained vocals, a short acoustic number with female vocals amidst an album of unrelenting bleakness and ugliness. Disembowelment's slow tempos were painfully slow, inspiring Funeral Doom. One of the penultimate Doom acts, a truly brilliant band. Rec album: disEMBOWELMENT.

    Anathema: Anathema were part of the Peaceville 3, a trio of British doom bands signed to the Peaceville label. Anathema's early music was slow and barren, the melodies are sorrowful or all-too brief, occasional dabblings with female vocals. The Pentecost EP was a more mature album, featuring almost entirely clean vocals and a more progressive sound (despite the hilariously punkish hidden track 666). That EP was the last with vocalist Darren White, who crafted some of my favourite lyrics of all metaldom. Vince Cavanaugh took over the vocal reigns after his departure. The Silent Enigma being their most varied, yet at times inconsistent, album. After that, Anathema left the metal world, incorporating more and more Pink Floyd and Radiohead influences until they now write nothing but sappy, melodramatic rock. I recommend everything up to the Judgment album, after that they were lost to me.

    My Dying Bride: The most "famous" of the Peaceville 3. MDB are the only one of them still playing Doom to this day, which isn't entirely as good as it might sound at first. MDB's early demos show a band already in transition, playing not just slowed down Death Metal but what would come to be modern Doom-Death. MDB's earlier works show a keen melodic sense and Aaron's vocals were among the best growlers of all-time. Turn Loose the Swans was their pivotal album, it was also a pivotal album for me personally as it got me away from mallcore garbage and into underground Metal. They incorporated violins and keyboards into their palette, some took to calling this "gothic". Although what female vocals and violins have in common with the music of Bauhaus and Fields of the Nehpilim is beyond me. This would inspire legions of mediocre clone bands (November's Doom I'm looking at you) and also the genre of "gothic" Doom, which is Metal's answer to the watered down easy-listening music like Yanni and Kenny G.

    Their next opus, The Angel and the Dark River, did away with death vocals all-together and the songs
    became more minimalist, which sometimes worked (The Cry of Mankind) but most often didn't. MDB wandered through outright mediocrity with their next album (Like Gods of the Sun) and experimentalism (39.788%...Complete) before returning to their doom-death roots with the Light at the End of the World. This was the last MDB album that managed to hold my attention all the way through, as MDB seem to be turning into the Rolling Stones or AC\DC of Doom metal at this point. Rec albums: As the Flower Withers, Trinity, Turn Loose the Swans, The Light at the End of
    the World.


    Paradise Lost: Plost were the weakest of the Peaceville 3 in my estimation. Despite the superlative guitar playing of Greg Mcintosh, they never really struck me as a first tier band. Lost Paradise and Gothic are recognized as Doom classics, the title track of the latter is one of my favourite Doom songs of all time. But the whole album has rarely held my attention all the way despite its pedestrian length. With Shades of God they showed themselves to be searching for a different direction. Icon is one of my favourite Metal albums of all-time, its not Doom; its hard to pigeonhole what style it is. But after this they went down the crapper and quickly. Draconian Times was a middling attempt at recording Icon Part 2. After that, they turned into some 5th rate Depeche Mode ripoff. Apparently they've returned to Doom with their last album, but I can't be bothered with these guys anymore. Rec albums: Gothic, Lost Paradise, Icon.

    Mythic: A little known band that recorded three excellent EPs before disbanding. They aren't just noteworthy because they were an all-female band (bassist Mary Bleich would go on to play bass duties for November's Doom and Penance) but the music has a nice dark atmosphere to it. Its early 90s doom death with no watering down, and the vocals are damn good, putting Angela Gassow to shame. If you're looking for more female-fronted Doom-Death, check out The River. Rec album: Anthology.

    Katatonia: Kataonia played Doom Metal with a distinct Black Metal touch, which would inspire a lot of bands in the future. Their debut is an absolute monster of an album, crushingly slow with a great atmosphere (despite the silly artwork). They would go on to a more musically minimalist style, the Brave Murder Day album is rightly regarded as a classic, and features vocals from some Swedish guy named Mikael Akerfeldt. No, I haven't heard of him either.

    After this Katatonia left Metal to play their own style of depressive rock music. They had some moments of brilliance (Discouraged Ones, Last Fear Deal Gone Down), some inconsistent efforts (Tonight's Decision, Viva Emptiness) and outright crap (The Great Cold Distance). Those liking Katatonia's early stuff, should definitely check out October Tide, a side band who's material is quite similar to Katatonia at their best. Rec albums: Jhva Elohim Meth (THe
    Revival), Dance of December Souls, Brave Murder Day, Discouraged Ones, Last Fear Deal Gone Down.


    Thorns of the Carrion: An obscure band from Cincinatti that made some amazing doom. Thorns were heavy on the keyboards, violins and female vocals. Yet unlike the majority of bands who dabble in these elements, they made some amazing music without watering anything down. Its beautiful without being pretty, I'm not sure if that makes any sense but thats the impression I get from listening to them. They broke up but have recently reformed and are working on a new album. Rec albums: The Scarlet Tapestry, The Gardens of Dead Winter.

    Mindrot: Another band that mixed Doom with another musical style, in this case, Crust. Crust doesn't have much in common with Doom metal yet this band made it work. Mindrot's music was crushingly heavy, aggressive and melancholic at the same time. The intro to the Dawning album is one of my favourite album intros of all time. If you like your music oppressive, challenging, abrasive and uneasy, Mindrot are for you. Rec albums: Dawning, Soul.

    Saturnus: A Danish band that take the melodic Doom Death approach are able to perfect it like few other bands. The strength of this band lies in the songwriting, as the riffs, melodies, song structure, everything, is simply of the highest quality. A highly recommended band for those who like the more melodic side of Doom while avoiding the generic MDB ripoffs out there. Rec albums: Paradise Belongs to You, For the Loveless Lonely Nights, Martyre.

    Celestial Season: Among the bands that were inspired by MDB's usage of violins, this Dutch band were the best. Their songwriting, balance of crushing heaviness and melodic touch were top-notch. Despite their popular status as inferior cousins of the PL\MDB style, I feel they did it better. On their second album, Solar Lovers, things began to change. There were the usual DD trappings, but they incorporated a stoner-metal influence. Surprisingly enough, this strange combination worked marvelously. After this album they changed to a pure stoner style, but weren't as good musically as in their previous incarnation. Rec albums: Forever Scarlet Passion, Solar Lovers.

    Dusk (US): A little known band from Wisconsin. At first listen, there's nothing special about their music, but repeated listens reveal how brilliant they were. On their debut they were unafraid of faster tempos, double-bass drum-work, stop start rhythms, etc. Yet this release still featured slow tempos and menacing keyboards. Their second and last album was more of a pure doom album, which featured 4 unique and distinctive songs. On this album they utilized a chanting vocal style, often in call and response to the growled vocals, keyboards taking the melodic lead in one song, one song featuring female vocals. A band that disbanded without making the mark they deserved to make. Rec albums: Mourning...Resurrect, split with Aphotic.

    Aphotic: After Dusk folded, Aphotic was formed by guitarist Steve Gross. Aphotic's style, like Dusk, was very individualistic. Aphotic's style is closer to Black Metal, utilizing mid-tempos and a dissonant style of guitar riffing. The keyboard work was absolutely brilliant without being overpowering. They released 5 EPs before sadly folding without receiving the praise they deserved. Rec albums: Stillness Grows (compilation), split with Dusk.

    Morgion: One of my favorite Doom bands. They began as a Death Metal outfit with a Swedish tinge to them, but also an atmospheric side as well. Their debut EP is a bit of a collector's item now that its out of print. Its a solid release, featuring a thick production and intelligent use of keyboards. Their follow-up is one of my desert island disc, Solinari is an absolutely masterpiece. Bursting with fury and sorrow in equal measure, one of the best productions to be ever found on a Doom album, great songwriting and absolutely crushing songs. The keys are absolutely bewitching, one of my favorite keyboard tones ever captured. Their follow-up, and last album was more progressive and epic, at times meandering but without going into Opeth territory. They split months after its release, leaving this Doomster saddened at the news. Rec albums: Among Majestic Ruin, Solinari, Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth.

    Ahab: "From Hell's heart I stab at thee....For Hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...thou damned whale!" Doomier words have never been spoken. I found Melville's epic to be tedious when it wasn't focusing on Ahab, these Germans probably feel the same way. They take the Summoning route at times of using their favourite authors words as song lyrics. Musically is melodic Doom Death but they're heavier than your average act in this niche. Not quite essential, but pretty damn good nonetheless. I know many call them Funeral Doom, but I for one feel that term is overused and Ahab aren't Funeral in my estimation, which I'll elaborate on in my next guide. Rec albums: The Call of the Wretched Sea, The Oath.

    Shape of Despair: Another band that most mistakenly label as Funeral. I for one feel these Finns are closer to Doom Death than to Funeral. SOD's music is heavy on the keyboards, in fact the keyboards are driving the songs along, supplying the main motifs and maintaining the momentum of the music. The use of keys create a great atmosphere and the only band I can really compare it to is Summoning. SOD's music is quite beautiful and sad, but sometimes lacks the crushing aspect of Doom which I admire so much. Also check out The Mist and the Morning Dew, a side band who produced one very solid EP thus far. Rec albums: Shades Of..., Angel of Distress.

    Visceral Evisceration: Another band that incorporated odd elements into Doom. Musically, VE were an above average Doom Death band, highly melodic but still very heavy. It was in their lyrics that they stuck out, instead of singing about death and sorrow, they sang about gore topics. The hilarious song titles belie some true talent. Rec album: Incessant Desire for Palatable Flesh.

    Avernus: A band with scattered output over the years. Avernus' main renown is the quasi-legendary Sadness demo, a demo which featured some of the best death vocals ever put on celluloid, unique keyboard sounds, and female vocals provided by Kim Goss, before she became Alexi Laiho's slut. Despite its short length, its one of the best recordings in the history of the genre. Avernus experimented with folk and new-age influences on their full length
    debut Of The Fallen..., with less than impressive results, the resulting fallout led them to going back to their doom-death roots. The present work isn't as good as Sadness, but still pretty good by any estimation. Rec albums: Where the Sleeping Shadows Lie, Bury Me in Fire.

    Ataraxie: Not to be confused with the neofolk act Ataraxia, this French act create some damn fine doom, and are part of a fine French doom scene at the moment. They play Doom with a heavy accent on Death Metal, with fiery soloing and speed aplenty. If you only like Doom that crawls at a snail's pace, this band might not be for you. Otherwise, I strongly suggest you check them out. Rec albums: The Other Path, Slow Transcending Agony.

    Evoken: One of my favourite Doom bands of all-time. A lot of people consider them Funeral, especially since their name is taken from a Thergothon song. But I feel they lack that nihilistic vibe that all true Funeral Doom possesses. Which isn't to say Evoken's music isn't dark. Quite the opposite, Evoken have one of the darkest and most atmospheric sounds around, drenched in thick reverb and guitars tuned to A (!!!). Their use of keyboards and,
    on the Quietus album, Cello, are quite brilliant. To date they have yet to release a weak album. Rec albums: Embrace the Emptiness, Quietus, A Caress of the Void.

    Mourning Beloveth: A fairly newish band from Ireland. They have the traditional melodic Doom-Death sound but are quite good at it. They do have a slight tendency, especially on the Murderous Circus album, of stretching songs out longer than they need to be. I find the Sullen Sulcus album to be their best.

    The Prophecy A fine UK band who, on the surface, are just another Doom band in the MDB tradition. But a closer inspection reveals more, they are brilliant songwriters, with a flair for guitar harmonics, blast beats and tremolo picking passages that would make Immortal blush. Rec albums: Ashes, To End All Hope

    Monolithe: An excellent band from France. At this moment, I think they are the most epic band on the planet. Their output so far: 3 songs totaling almost 140 minutes. As if the length of these magnum opuses isn't epic enough, lyrically they focus on the origins of mankind. What could be more epic? I sure can't think of anything. As with any musical artist planning a multi-work cycle, there are motifs that repeat and re-appear, but these are never tiresome. Monolithe's music sucks you in and doesn't release you until the sound has faded from your speakers and the CD stops playing. Rec albums: Monolithe I, Monlithe II, Interlude Premier.

    Void of Silence: A highly praised Doom act, and rightly so. Their work is melodic DD of the highest caliber. Despite elements like keyboards, violins and acoustic interludes, the music never lets up or seems weak. The Vocals are provided by Alan Nemtheneaga of Primordial who provides flawless work as you'd expect. They broke up but have recently reformed and are working on a new album. Like many, I can't wait. Rec albums: Towards the Dusk, Human Antithesis.

    Sempiternal Deathreign: A cult act that only released one demo and a full length. Stylistically, they were closer to Death than to Doom, but the there was a Doomy tinge to their sound. The song Devastating Empire Towards Humanity has a definite Disembowelment touch to it. Despite the weak production, the music takes a time to sink in to truly appreciate the atmosphere. Its a shame these three Dutchmen never release anything else. Rec album: The Spooky Gloom, Creep Show.

    Discruior: A band from Estonia that sadly only released one demo before folding into obscurity. If you're a fan of more Death-oriented Doom, then they will fit your bill. The vocals stick out, alternating between demonic deep grunts (almost reaching Demilich depths), high pitched black metalish screams and occasional clean vocals. The guitar work is also excellent. Eccentric and heavy at the same time, they even wrote a song called Doom. How can
    you not love that? Rec album: Mundus Subtarreneus.

    Loss (US): The first time I heard them, I didn't see what the big deal was. But upon giving them another chance, I can see the hype wasn't entirely unjustified. Some fine doom death that balances melody and heaviness, without sounding like the MDB clones out there. Rec album: Life Without Hope...Death Without Reason.

    Insanity Reigns Supreme: With a name like that, you wouldn't expect sorrowful Doom-Death, would you? But thats what you get. I actually think IRS are of a second tier band, but I just have to relay this anecdote which is why I included them here. It came when this band decided to film a video for the song La Tristesse Eternelle (Eternal Sadness for thoose of you who ne parle pas le francais). They filmed this video at a monastery. More than a few in the local Church hierarchy objected to renting out this historic 12th century abbey to a "satanic" metal band, but they needed the money, or something. Not long after the (Very cheesy) video was filmed, the abbey in question burned down. Coincidence? I'll let you decide. Rec album: ...And Darkness Drowned the Land Divine.


    This concludes Part 2 of my gudies to Doom-Metal. I hope I've introduced you to some new bands through these. My
    next guide shall tackle Funeral Doom, which doesn't just consist of bands from Finland. Until then, Doom what thou wilt.

  • At the Gallows' End: The Essentials of Doom Playlist

    Mai 27 2006, 4h16 por 6:00

    So you're thinking to yourself, man, I'm feeling way too happy today. The sun is shining, I made more money at my McJob than I poured into my gas tank, and that hawt girl in chem didn't grimace when I smiled at her.

    I need my spirit crushed underneath boots of leaden doom.

    But you say to yourself, damn, I don't have much doom on me. How can I destroy my happiness with a cassette of Black Sabbath's self-titled and a mistagged Candlemass mp3?

    Following these instructions, you can become well-versed in the basics of the earth's most dramatic sound. This isn't meant to plumb the depths of the music of the...uhh...depths, but rather to give an overview of the absolute most significant bands.

    So obtain these records, stick 'em on a playlist, hide the razors, and hit shuffle.

    Band: Black Sabbath
    Record: VOL. 4, 1972

    While it isn't their best record or even their most accessible, VOL. 4 is probably their doomiest. After the earthshaking but slightly more stoner-tinged MASTER OF REALITY, VOL. 4 presented an even more dour Sabbath, the band exuding more confidence while laying down more sludge-y tides of evil. Essential grinders "Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener", "Cornucopia", and "Under the Sun/Every Day Comes & Goes" marry consistent heaviness with the band's most modern doom riffage and in doing so are the best starting point to Sabbath's catalogue, from a doom student's perspective.

    Further Listening: BLACK SABBATH, PARANOID, MASTER OF REALITY, SABOTAGE, HEAVEN AND HELL

    Band: Witchfinder General
    Record: DEATH PENALTY, 1982

    While the rest of the NWOBHM were busy aping Priest, Scorpions, and Accept Witchfinder General were banging out their own brand of Sabbatherian menace. The band's first two LPs are of comparable density, but DEATH PENALTY remains the heart's favourite to most and was the first major restatement of Sabbath's style with the exception of the perpetually late-for-dinner Pentagram, whose significance is limited to their early demos and not much else.

    Further Listening: FRIENDS OF HELL

    Band: Trouble
    Album: PSALM 9, 1984

    Really, any of Trouble's first three releases would've done the job. Ultimately, the debut got the nod over the equally amazing RUN TO THE LIGHT simply because I got it first. Trouble had been slogging their way through the Chicago music scene since the late 70's, and when they got their chance to record this living testament they wrote it with the flaming fingers of God. Panicked and dead serious beyond the OTT Witchfinder, Trouble's sense of pathos lent their crushing compositions a sense of desperate urgency that alleviated the sheer weight of their chords. Wagner's craggy caw just sounded aged and tired, and in tandem with the band's pioneering breakneck thrash riffs interspersed with crumbling, lumbering doom Trouble became the holy overseers of doom's first wave.

    Further Listening: THE SKULL, RUN TO THE LIGHT, TROUBLE, MANIC FRUSTRATION, PLASTIC GREEN HEAD

    Artist: Saint Vitus
    Record: BORN TOO LATE, 1986

    Where Sabbath were depressed hippies and Trouble men of God maddened by sin, Saint Vitus were absolutely trashed. Playing and singing like homeless beggars, Saint Vitus stood up and said "Fuck it, I can be sad about MY life". Few angels and demons inhabit the halls of BORN TO LATE. In their place are the demons of failure, self-consciousness, stupidity, addiction, and loneliness. What shaggy outsider couldn't relate to songs like "Dying Inside", "Thirsty and Miserable", and of course the immortal title track.

    Further Listening: MOURNFUL CRIES, V

    Artist: Candlemass
    Record: NIGHTFALL, 1987

    From impoverished bums who lacked the energy to play any faster to the castle haunting kingpins of the early genre. The operatic vocals of Messiah and the unrelenting cavalcade of gothic, melodramatic riffs made Candlemass an ornate island-state unto themselves. Cleaning up the froth from Trouble's manic robes, the frigid Swedes attacked the same lyrical themes from a more composed, bardic position and in the process discovered that doom riffs don't have to be quite as heavy when they swing down from truly epic heights. "At the Gallows' End" sounds like it was transcribed through time from a Viking execution.

    Further Listening: EPICUS DOOMICUS METALLICUS, ANCIENT DREAMS, TALES OF CREATION, CANDLEMASS

    Artist: Solitude Aeturnus
    Record: BEYOND THE CRIMSON HORIZON, 1992

    And further down the windswept path beaten flat by Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus would refine and arguably improve upon their template over a series of classic releases in the early 90's. Unlike the other bands on this list, Solitude Aeturnus' influence is absolutely minimal. Other than a detectable uptick of Fates Warning melodies, the only element of Solitude that justifies their inclusion is their stunning quality. And so I'm including them.

    Further Listening: IN THE DEPTHS OF SORROW, THROUGH THE DARKEST HOUR

    Artist: Paradise Lost
    Record: ICON, 1993

    Quintessential death-doom merchants Paradise Lost initially exhibited many of the same woebegone poetic wanderings as their peers, and in the process revolutionized the genre. However, the chameleon-like band's first reinvention makes the list because the propulsive, diamond-hard riffage marks a stark contrast to the work of the other bands on this list. ICON is like Metallica's already quite doomy self-titled filtered through the skin-flaying mental vortex of Paradise Lost. Highlights such as "Embers' Fire" and "Shallow Seasons" exhibit a dire conviction that is, in a novel twist, articulated by a man who sounds like he's balling up his fists to beat you senseless.

    Further Listening: LOST PARADISE, GOTHIC, SHADES OF GOD, DRACONIAN TIMES

    Artist: Cathedral
    Record: THE ETHEREAL MIRROR, 1993

    The brainchild of Lee Dorrian, Cathedral were (and are) a monstrous English death-doom collective raised in cold opposition to the sound of his former group Napalm Death. Along with similarly deathy early Paradise Lost, Cathedral brought a new electrocuted extremity to doom, the sorrow-drenched laments of their predecessors finding new amplification in Dorrian's torturous croak. As imposing and stony as its name implies.

    Further Listening: THE FOREST EQUILIBRIUM, COSMIC FUNERAL, THE CARNIVAL BIZARRE, THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS

    Artist: My Dying Bride
    Record: TURN LOOSE THE SWANS, 1993

    In what was unarguably the finest year of the second wave of doom, My Dying Bride reached the point of balance between their almost excessively gothic and majestic violin-dominated style and the annihilating landslide of guitar that made their early work so heavy. Through tinkling keyboards, intense growls, dissonant violins, and guitars that seem to make melody a pleasant dream you once had, TURN LOOSE THE SWANS is a vortex from which no light escapes. The soft parts are like waiting in a prison cell between vicious beatings. While that description may make the album seem unpleasant, it virtues become readily apparent upon concentrated listening. Objectively, there's little that is actually heavier than this that remains music.

    Further Listening: AS THE FLOWER WITHERS, THE ANGEL AND THE DARK RIVER

    Artist: Amorphis
    Record: TALES FROM THE THOUSAND LAKES, 1994

    While their constant state of evolution means that their influence within specific genres is often limited to almost singular albums, the band's first two records are considered by many to be perhaps the most significant folk-doom recordings of the early 90's. Based around predominantly mid-paced riffs, Amorphis adorned the valleys between their colossal peaks with keyboards, traditional melodies, and lyrics based upon translations of Finnish mythology. While it is perhaps my least favourite era of the band, Amorphis' wizardly touch has created a frostbound yet vibrant world unto itself, which many a neophyte visisted and returned changed and ready to interpret ancient melodies through banks of amplifiers.

    Further Listening: THE KARELIAN ISTHMUS

    Artist: Type O Negative
    Record: OCTOBER RUST, 1996

    Amongst the best-selling doom collectives of all time, Steele's almost painfully gothic compositions act as a measuring stick for whether or not to bother exploring this subsection of doom. Based around downtuned, reverberating riffs, stumbling drums, and most particularly Steele's near-tonedeaf irony-drenched groans. The soundtrack of a romance twisted and fouled.

    Further Listening: SLOW, DEEP, AND HARD, BLOODY KISSES

    Artist: Agalloch
    Record: THE MANTLE, 2002

    Almost entirely acoustic and emphatically entirely depressing, Agalloch is probably the most artistic and expressive doom band on the modern scene. Essentially, these guys are post-everything by being even more authentically traditional than bands thirty years their junior. Like a 70's folk band unbearably lead-poisoned, Agalloch will either try your patience or leave you dumbstruck, open-mouthed in contemplation of the infinite.

    Further Listening: PALE FOLKLORE

  • A Metal Sampler From Around The World (Part 3, Final)

  • A Metal Sampler From Around The World (Part 2)

    Jan 26 2006, 16h49 por Kindjal

    Goal:

    Produce a sampler, on a reasonble number of CDs (just a few), of current and active metal bands representing a wide sampling of the world and of metal sub-genres. Make some effort to represent female membership or influence (marked with an (F)). Prefer bands that influential (eg. Opeth, Darkthrone), currently popular (eg. Children of Bodom), or still carrying the torch for a long tested form (eg. Bolt Thrower).

    Request From last.fm users:

    Please review and suggest corrections if I've misclassified anyone, and perhaps provide selections to fill holes that I have below.

    Note:

    I'm not claiming to be an expert here. A lot of my list is my own personal preference, but a lot is coming from reading this site, and reading the "mags" (BW&BK, Unrestrained, Terrorizer, Metal Maniacs).

    ----

    North America:

    Nevermore - USA, traditional
    Morbid Angel - USA, death
    Averse Sefira - USA, black
    Lamb of God - USA, metalcore
    Cryptopsy - Canada, death

    Q: Need more from Canada.
    Q: Need a couple from Mexico if possible.
    Q: Who's leading the way in North American Metal? I think Nevermore. Who do you think? Please, it's not just who you like, but also who is really legitimately influential, pushing the envelope, really gaining momentum. Leading the way.

    NB. People are giving me grief about LoG. As someone else said, Metalcore is big today, and if that's metalcore, in my view, LoG are really good at it (I'm not a huge fan of the vocalist, but Morton and Adler come up with some awesome riffs).

    Europe:

    Opeth - Sweden, death/prog/goth
    Candlemass - Sweden, doom
    Dark Tranquillity - Sweden, Gothenburg
    Darkthrone - Norway, black
    Satyricon - Norway, black
    Theatre of Tragedy - Norway, goth (F)
    Moonsorrow - Finland, viking/melo(?)
    Children of Bodom - Finland, death
    Akercocke - England, black/death
    Bolt Thrower - England, death (F)
    Lacuna Coil - Italy, traditional (F)
    Moonspell - Portugal, goth
    Celestial Season - The Netherlands, doom
    Astarte - Greece, black (F)
    Vader - Poland, death (too old)

    Q: In my view Europe is "where it's at" in metal. Who out there is the next big thing? Who should we be listening to from as-yet-unnamed nations?

    NB. Sorry Scandinavia. You guys rule. Norway, Sweden, Finland, you have a huge list of awesome bands. I could do a multi-CD set of just you all. But for this project, I had to limit it.

    South America:

    Sepultura - Brazil, death/thrash (too old?)
    Angra - Brazil, prog/power

    Q: Need more from South America. I know South America has a pretty solid metal scene. I just don't know anything about it.

    Middle East:

    Orphaned Land - Israel, death/doom
    Melechesh - Israel, black

    Q: Need more here, if possible from Arabic/Persian nations. It may be small, but surely it's there.

    Asia:

    Impiety - Singapore, death/black/thrash
    Sabbat - Japan, death (not the English thrash band) (too old?)

    Q: More here perhaps? Who are the best bands in Asia?

    Australia:

    Black Steel - Australia, power
    Vanishing Point - Australia, prog
    Alchemist - Australia, prog

    Q: Any from Indonesia, neighboring island nations?

    Bands Cut | Reason:

    Kittie - Canada, thrash/nu(?) (F) | Too nu
    Bathory - Sweden, black (too old?) | Too old
    At the Gates - Sweden, Gothenburg | Too old
    In Flames - Sweden, Gothenburg | Too much Sweden
    Immortal - Sweden, black (too old?) | Too old
    Arcturus - Norway, black(?) | Too much Norway
    Zeenon - Norway, death (F) | Too much Norway
