WELCOME TO R/DOOMMETAL


  • Doom 101

  • Doom metal is an extreme form of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much "thicker" or "heavier" sound than other metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.The genre is strongly influenced by the early work of Black Sabbath, who formed a prototype for doom metal with songs such as "Black Sabbath", "Electric Funeral" and "Into the Void".*

  • During the first half of the 1980s, a number of bands from England (Pagan Altar, Witchfinder General), the United States (Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Trouble) and Sweden (Candlemass, Count Raven) defined doom metal as a distinct genre.

Anyone going to see SUMAC at O-Nest in Tokyo at the end of month?

You have to have a Japanese mobile number to buy tickets! Does anyone know how to get tickets without having one?

Any help on this is greatly appreciated

Cuarzo might just be one of my favorite bands.

They’re just so heavy and sludgy.

Happy Candlemas, everyone!

Or maybe "doomy Candlemas"?

Today is February 2nd, traditionally known as Candlemas among Catholics as this is when we bless the church's candles and officially conclude the Christmas season.

In any case, crank up some Candlemass on Candlemas!

This song just rips. Heavy has fuck, but the vocals are hauntingly beautiful.

Enjoy

How do you all listen to music?

Debating getting rid of Spotify but will miss the exploring of artists, thinking about moving to a mix of bandcamp and internet radio. I have a collection of CDs and don't really want to get into record collecting.

What do you use and find works best for supporting your favourite artists?
