Vinum Sabbathi.
Welcome to the Doom Metal Sub
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.

FAQ
Can I post something if it's not doom metal? Yes! We like proto-doom, sludge, stoner rock, heavy psych, and other "low an' slow" stuff from bands that aren't considered doom metal.
How should I tag my post? Tag it how ever you want, but this is what we think works best. "Artist - Song Title [style, country, year]" (without the quotes)

Hey guys, I’ve had this stuff in storage for over 20 years and can’t really justify keeping it anymore. Don’t remember what I paid for any of it, blame the marijuana. Not sure how old any of it is. The two 115 cans are at least 1980 or older and the other stuff has the fender stamp on the back. The two 115 cabs don’t have any speakers but the 215 does. The head does act a little finicky sometimes. Use to gig with it until it acted up a few times and then it just remained home and eventually got stored. Oh, and it is all pretty musky, smells like storage. If anyone how to get that smell out I’d also appreciate that info :). Not trying to rip anyone off but I’d like to be able to justify keeping it all these years.
Does anyone here have the “Futility” and “Untitled” tracks that used to be on their Bandcamp? I can’t find them anywhere and would love to have them.
Something similar to Swallow the Sun, Insomnium, On Thorns I Lay(yearly and newest releases)

I love this song and would like to find anything else like it. It reminds me a lot of hand of doom
I’ll be in Louisville for three weeks on a construction job visiting from Illinois, I won’t be driving back on weekends and wondering if anyone knows any record stores that have maybe a nice used metal selection or any metal selection at all, thanks cheers 🍻
Those low frequencies hit you like a truck. Once you forget about the pitch shifted vocals, ugh it sounds so good man. I need to start doing this to more of my stuff.
Stoned and listening to Forest of Equilibrium by Cathedral, their so fucking cool. I also really love the acoustic beginning to the Picture of Beauty and Innonence (Intro) and kinda wish there was a full song of just that. Soul Sacrifice is my favorite song on the album, how about you?
God this album is heavy..
Post yours
One of the strongest releases this year, in my opinion. I have not seen it posted before and I am sure the community here will like it a lot.
I think this goes for alot of bands of course but I think the albums Clamor Luciferi and 1782 (their self titled) are both amazing, and the most I think people have heard from these guys is their joint album with another of my favorite bands acid mammoth. Check out 1782 if you haven't!
Hello I’m on a hunt. I love doom metal and I love dark ambient (svartsinn, kammerheit, arktau eos) and I’m trying to find bands that have a good mix of dark ambient and heavy crushing doom metal. Shape of despair is the closest I’ve found but it doesn’t hit the mark ambient wise. Any help Is appreciated
They made AI too good these days and my bong-wisdom makes thoughts.

That's them. I like the band. Just wanted be sure if I haven't been AI-rolled.
I had a tape recorder from ZROCK, in Hart Michigan, mid 80’s. I recall lyrics…. I am going blind, all my friends say I am loosing my mind. Heavy and slow paced song, guitar sounded a lot like Saint Vitus , Born To Late.. thanks for the help.
Fuzzed out ! Good stuff !
