Been listening to Evoken a fair bit of late, and was thinking for how much I like the music I know very few other good funeral doom bands.

Would very much appreciate some recommendations.

I'm a fan of Shape of Despair and Ahab alright, great bands.

Liking the sound of Stabat Mater, very unsettling vibes from that tune, and Ophis sound pretty good. I have to check out the rest still.

I only found out Evoken had a new album drop earlier this month called Hypnagogia, gonna have to get my hands on that. Hope it can match the last one.

Bell Witch would be an obvious rec, though you've probably heard em.

Yes to Stabat Mater, much prefer it to his Clandestine Blaze stuff. A little off-piste but Funeral Mourning is good, definitely funeral but with a more 'black' atmosphere. Good late night headphone music

My favourite two are Ahab and Skepticism.

Ahab:

They haven't released anything in almost four years now so hope they are recording or rehearsing or something.

Skepticism:

I had a chance to see them in London a few years back when they performed in some church, shame I didn't make it.

A lot of good stuff here. This is my standout funeral doom album which I keep returning to:


Disembowelment - Transcendence Into The Peripheral

Is it really Funeral doom though? I'm very confused about what  Funeral Doom actually (I thought it was just bands ripping off Thergothon? :laugh:) as but I thought this would be more Death/Doom particularly given the speed of bits of it. Disembowelment are absolute kings though. Much as I worship this album I have to say the "Dusk" versions of some of these tunes, particularly "Cerulean Transience..", are my favourites. Got a deadly Disembowelment shirt towards the end of last year as well!

Have to agree, one of my all time favourites that I seem to return to every year
