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.

I’m going insane

Hi everyone! I’m searching desperately for an album and I can’t for the life of me remember the name. At this point I asking myself if it isn’t just a fever dream and it never existed. All I can remember is the cover. So the cover was green with purple and black margins, and it was like a collage ala Primitive Man. I distinctly remember something like a person with a hood on the left. The album was horror inspired, both in lyrics and sound. I believe it was released somewhere around 2016, 2015. Does anybody have any clue about album this might be?

Guitar players! What tuner do you use to tune lowwwww?

Hi all,

Whether a stand alone piece or an app, what tuner have you found to be the most accurate when tuning real low? I have seen a few that don’t even offer options below certain tunings, or some that just don’t work great.

I found the fender tune app, you can set up the pro tuner to c standard and that works the best for me so far.

How bout y’all?

Free ticket to the bongripper album release party in Chicago on the 3rd

I'm not really sure how to decide who to give it away to, but I will not able to make it to Chicago. I'm not sure if the show is sold out but regardless I have a free ticket that won't be used and someone's mind body and soul should be shattered in my place.

EDIT: Ticket has been given out! doom on yall!

North Carolina Bands

Setting up a show in Raleigh at kings on July 2nd and I’m looking for 2 maybe 3 local doom/stoner bands to hop on the bill. Being in Richmond Virginia I don’t know enough about the scene down there yet so the few bands I have reached out to are either busy or haven’t responded

Unable to make it, so giving away my Bongripper tickets (Chicago, May 3rd). Two available, first come first serve!

Sadly my cars starter decided to go out and I don't have another vehicle worthy of the trip (2.5 hours each way for me). Might as well share the wealth. First one to reach out can claim them! (Just take plenty of vids/recordings for me)

Just discovered Disembowelment and this shit is Type O’s brother

I wonder how much they were inspiring eachother since they were active at the same time. A Burial At Ornans sounds identical to parts in Origin of Feces cause of the snare and bass tone

Edit: Holy fuck this used to be one of the more laid back genres what the fuck happened? I said the snare and bass tone are similar(which they undeniably are) and you all are like “well actually🤓” wtf guys lmao

What albums could you listen to only for their sound?

Just out of curiosity, which doom albums (and other related albums) do you think sound the most satisfying?
For me, I immediately think about Buried at Sea "Migration" for example, both stunning album and sound, or Conan "Existential Void Guardian" whom I'm not a great fan but I love how they sound. Esoteric "The Pernicious Enigma" too has a very distinctive sound (and I love the album). What are yours ?
