Title: Doom Death
Post by: Eoin McLove on November 22, 2018, 11:48:53 AM
Any new bands going that do justice to the old style of doom death? I'm looking for stuff that's more rough around the edges and less amp worshipy. Hit me up,  duders.

Cavurn spring immediately to mind. Disembowelment/Spectral  Voice vibes.

You could maybe include Mortiferum in this loosely?plenty of 1st album Paradise Lost vibes on their demo.

Sounds decent but not exactly what I'm after.  Very heavy on the Spectral Voice vibes,  which is no bad thing really,  but I'm looking for less Bolt Thrower and more MDB!

Ahh..weeping hanky doom death then? I better not recommend Bloodsoaked Necrovoid either so...

I've seen the name and swerved around it!

I'm not necessarily looking for weepy doom but I find a lot of modern doom death is heavy as fuck but kind of lacking atmosphere and riffs.  It's all a bit samey.  I'd rather hear something recorded with shitty gear that has a unique atmosphere than slow,  Z- tuned death metal.  It's all a bit too obvious.  Where's the wonk??

Enjoying Innumerable Forms' Punishment In Flesh album from this year - not the bee all end all that some people are spouting on t'interwebs, but still pretty decent stuff.

I know the name but had no idea they were doom death. 

I'm playing Ceremonium (who Pentagrimes recommended to me before I think) and drinking red wine in a cave! It's my honeymoon and I'll cry if I want to!

Ah Innumerable Forms is slow death metal played by punks (mems of Mind Eraser, Iron Lung, etc). Fucking great but maybe not what you're after.

Nope.  After going straight to the source.  No messing about.  Thergothon!

Currently loving weird uneven mixes on albums.  Vocals too loud,  guitars too low,  everything moving up and down.  Less polish,  more wonk.

Lycus might be up your alley. More baritone vocals than MDB but plenty of harsh vocals too ->

Well...more on the funeral doom line of things but still worth a gander.

Not really what you are looking for but the new album from The Crawling is pretty good.

I can't get into them at all.  Far too ordinary for me.

Loads to listen to from this thread already!

I haven't heard their new one yet but enjoyed Forn's 'The Departure of Consciousness' when it first came out.

That Collapse of Light album mentioned somewhere surely fits. Made a fine soundtrack to wandering around the ruins of a convent in Lisbon for me this morning anyway

Sounds good,  but doom death? It has a few elements that are similar to Disembowelment or Indessinence alright,  but they aren't the most defining parts.  Maybe the best parts,  though ;)

The Grief from Cork are definitely in the MDB vein of Doom/Death.
Band is made up of the lads from For Ruin, Corr Mhóna and the Katatonic/Lost Paradise tribute bands.
They made a brief burst on the scene about 2 years ago now, but petered out again, much like the members other main bands.
Work schedules and drummer woes being the main reasons.

No official recordings yet, though.
But in the works, or so I'm told.

I have a couple of their gigs recorded, which are pretty good.
Can send on to you, if you like.

I know it's been said before but if ever a band needed to change their name.. It's the equivalent of starting a death metal band in 2019 and deciding to call it Carcass.

I know... It's pretty gack!
And the DIY logo they used is even more gack!

Some video footage of them live here...

That link above should be a playlist of about  songs, not just the first one, but this forum doesn't seem to like adding playlists...

I just figured they were a Grief cover band ala the Paradise Lost and Katatonia ones

Not going in to specifics for a good while yet but I have something vaguely in this vein in the works that will be out in 2020.

The lads in Grief are working away on the recording at the moment, vocals gone in and its sounding very good. Dunno when they plan to have it out yet tho. Doom is slow moving i guess.

Cool album.

I get the impression Eoin is looking for something very specific, but maybe give Mizmor's 'Yodh' a go. Lots of classic doom death moments, but the vocals have a very disembodied feel about them at times.

The emphasis is on the DEATH part of Doom Death. As it should be with this genre.

Nah,  for me there's a difference between death metal that is slow and doom death.  There's a lot of slow death metal around and while some of it is good and atmospheric,  a lot of it is just heavy and ultimately dull. I don't tend to like my doom to be overly weepy (Warning aside ;) ) but it has to have some gloom about it.

They are not a new band.But I think the Russians.Who Dies in Siberian Slush,are worthy of a mention.
