They have always stuck out to me because of how beautiful and melodic they are without sacrificing what makes funeral doom so good. This particular track was always interesting, it's not much different from the rest of the album despite being mostly acoustic the entire song. Any other good examples of this from other bands? I don't mean a short instrumental or interlude. I also have considered dark folk or something similar, but I wasn't sure what to look for and this has the particular vibe I want.
Finally got around to listening to Merkstave’s EP. THIS RIPS HOLY SHIT. The guitar toan is so nasty

I've been fascinated with the idea of funeral doom for a long while, and you would think I would be more into the genre considering I'm a huge dsbm fan. However, I haven't found many FD projects that I've liked. Mostly because they have alot of vlean vocals, and I'm not a huge fan of those. So I'm asking, anybody got any good funeral doom recs that don't use alot or any clean vocals?
For refrence, the two funeral doom bands I do like and listent to are wormphlegm and nortt
Running into a rc1 and a tripple rec....
I looped this pretty thing on my cello with some reverb and delay.
It felt right and with the addition of this simple beat I thought it really hit a spot. Its not crushing, but it does carry a sweet outro feel to it.
I am looking for people to collaborate with. Even if just for recording. My bandcamp is hollowpsalms.bandcamp.com
Anyone in Seattle looking for a cello player? Hoping to join a crushing doom/maybe even back metal in the way of ludicra band.
Example: Tyranny, Bell Witch
Think: David Lynch, Dali, Comte de Lautréamont

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows where to find the guitar tabs for the incubus of karma by mournful congregation?
I’m discussing this here since I figured the topic would be appropriate for the purpose of this subreddit.
The other day, I showed to my dad Thergothon’s 1994 “Stream From The Heavens” album while I was taking a car ride with him. My dad is most familiar with the 90’s sound of sludgy, slow, doomy, and cavernous variations on grunge, classic rock, and punk rock, bands like Melvins and Soundgarden for example.
While listening to the album, he commented that “it sounded like some sort of depressive Finnish death metal version of Alice In Chains”
Which leads me to wonder… out of context, the comparison doesn’t make sense considering the fact that Thergothon is in a completely different, underground world compared to AiC.
However, when you take into account the large amount of doom metal and sludge metal influences on AiC’s self-titled album, that slow, sludgy, and cavernous experience of the riffs and atmosphere, and consider Thergothon’s approach to making very slow, sludgy funeral doom/death… the comparison is kinda justifiable and I’d say even noticeable in a way.
Does anyone notice comparable parallels between Alice In Chains’ 1996 doom era and Thergothon’s only ablum?
I am pleased to announce that you can now pre-order Eyðimörkin on CD! The release features remastered audio and new original artwork! This limited first edition will be printed in only 66 copies.
“Eyðimörkin” consists of a single track lasting over half an hour, a profound initiatory experience, introspective and transformative, a shamanic journey to our innermost selves through an atavistic desert in pursuit of what some call redemption, a colossal theme of deeply personal and emotional funeral doom overloaded with signals, ancient voices recognizable only to the soul, imbued with ritualistic sounds and shrouded in a deeply dark and enigmatic aura, a brillant find for fans of bands like Dolorian, Hipoxia, Skepticism, or Thergothon...
“Eyðimörkin” is presented as a unique edition, limited to only 66 hand-numbered copies. It comes in a luxurious oversized 4-panel digifile, meticulously handcrafted from heavyweight paper, enhanced with an exclusive soft-touch matte laminate, and accompanied by a printed cardboard sleeve to protect the CD, and it also includes a free digital download card for the album and, to top it off, all the material has been completely remastered exclusively for this edition, elevating its sound quality and emotional depth far beyond the original...
This project used to be more like Jesu, or Godflesh, now it's much more FD than it used to be

THE UNLIKELY MARRIAGE OF A DOOM METAL BAND WITH A LIVE PIPE ORGANIST
Since our ‘1000 years’ demo, pipe organ sounds have been central to the vibe of Pantheïst. I remember how back in 2001, in a letter correspondence with a German fan (yes, we are that old) he suggested that we should continue using ‘church organ sounds like the godfathers of funeral doom, Skepticism’. This is exactly what we did in the years that followed, and pipe organs remained integral to the band’s sound, inspired by Skepticism as well as baroque composers such as J.S. Bach. 22 years later, we finally got the first opportunity to perform some of these tracks with an actual pipe organ! It all started with a local drive to promote Huddersfield Town Hall’s pipe organ as a versatile instrument which can give depth and volume to many musical genres, of which doom metal is naturally one due to its slow tempo and emphasis on heaviness. Mark Deeks from Northumbrian monastic doomsters Arð invited us as support to the event and the rest, as they say, is history. [...]
Pantheïst could only manage a 10-minute soundcheck, which took place 10 minutes before the opening of the doors to 300 people, among which the legendary Arthur Brown (no pressure there…) We managed to practice half a track by that point, keeping in mind we still hadn’t heard all of the parts due to be performed by the organist!
