so I recently discovered Coffins and fell in love with their HM-2W riffage.

can you help me out with other bands that have a similar sound/style?

🤘🏻

Every friday or so i'll post about a different death doom topic where we can chat about it in an effort to discover more music together and talk everything death doom once in a while other than what's being shared on the sub!

Today is; Your favorite death doom // death doom adjacent demo, EVER.

Demos are a crucial part any underground music scenes, and of course everybody hears the classic '' THE DEMO WAS BETTER '' every now and then. I think it's because when a band releases a demo, as they haven't released anything before, no one has any expectations for this demo in many cases. Of course when certain famous musicians form a new group everyone has certain expectations. But when you're talking about a completely new band, no one knows what's coming.

Demos are the most primitive and truest form of music a band can release, appart from a live album of course. So there is often no label or money involved in the music so musicians display their music as it really is. Then when the time comes to write a full album and a fanbase is established.... People have expectations and create scenarios around the music. Of course in some cases it can disappoint some people who weren't expecting a change in sound, or just wanted a 2.0 Demo....

Ok well back to the subject!

Since there aren't that many 100% death doom demos, you can pick someting that's death doom adjacent, meaning down tuned death metal, with perhaps some doom elements. Old school, modern, doesn't matter!

This is really hard for me to come up with an answer, but i'll say it's between Evoken' Shades of night descending or Disembowelment' Deep sensory procession into aural fate and for something modern i'll go with Cerebral Rot' Cessation of Life with them good old 90's finnish DM vibe!!

What about you?
