IIRC Dr. X started a similar topic in the old forum. Anyway, I thought I just as well a start a new one here. With Traditional Doom Metal I mean Sabbath-based bluesy Doom with clean vocals. Thus the thread is meant for bands like for Saint Vitus, Trouble and Candlemass but not My Dying Bride or Katatonia.

Anyway, my favourite Doom Metal bands are the following:
Black Sabbath
Blood Thirsty Demons
Candlemass
Dantesco
Doomsword
Internal Void
Orodruin
Pagan Altar
Pale Divine
Pentagram
Place Of Skulls
Reverend Bizarre
Saint Vitus
Solitude Aeturnus
Spirit Caravan
The Gates Of Slumber
Trouble
Witchcraft
Witchfinder General

Other good Doom bands I listen to are:
Abdullah
Acrimony
Against Nature
Begotten
Bigelf
Blood Farmers
Cathedral
Confessor
Count Raven
Doomshine
Earth Flight
Eight Hands For Kali
Electric Wizard
Forsaken (MLT)
Goatsnake
Grand Magus
Great Coven
Isole
Krux
Leather Nun
L'impero Delle Ombre
Merca
Minotauri
Mood
Penance
Sorcery
Spiritus Mortis
Starchild
The Hidden Hand
The Obsessed
Thunderstorm
Veni Domine
Voodooshock
Wall Of Sleep
Well Of Souls (US)
Witch Mountain
World Below

The list became quite extensive... Anyway, any more Trad. Doomsters around here (besides Dr. X)? And in case, yes, what are your favourites?

@Ozman: Great news about Trouble, I find Isole a little blank of feeling, it's good music but sometimes it tens to get boring, at least the last one, for me.

I agree with you read my review on Isole - Throne of Void and you'll see what my "problem" with them is.

I never heard of them although they are from The Netherlands. Going to their site I came across the following:
http://www.anothermessiah.com/review_dd_metalstorm?PHPSESSID=f50b0efa5316bc68b96f8e360c6eb01c

so apparently they have been reviewed here on Metal Storm.

I personally didn't like it. Also, there's some growling on it.

Well, I'm afraid I don't have much to add here, since I am not so well known into Trad. Doom. Well, besides Candlemass and Krux, that is.

Do you guys know about an Italian band called 'Doom Sword'? They combine Trad. Doom with a little bit of Power and Heavy Metal. Try something from their album 'Resound The Horn', I like it very much, maybe you will too.

*There is unfortunatly no place on the net to listen to them, so you either have to download or go to a cd-shop.*

One of the bonus trakcs has the vocalist before Rob Lowe featuring on it. Though not a bad vocalist I really DO prefer Rob.

I asked if anyone was familiar with the band Doomsword and you said that you know them. And I think you might be the one who recommended them to me, in one of our PM conversations.

Read this Reverend Bizarre song lyric ''The Goddess of Doom''

The Goddess of Doom

There is the one up there.
There is the one down there.
There is the one, who is everywhere.

I believe I was brought here
to spread my Doom in this world of fear.
The one who breathed this life-force into me
was the Goddess of Doom, Christina Ricci.

Aeons ago, she was born
into the middle of the endless forlorn.
In silence and space, infinity,
stood the Goddess of Doom. The supreme entity.

Saint Vitus and Trouble, Witchfinder General,
Count Raven, The Obsessed and Pentagram,
Solitude Aeturnus and Candlemass,
Penance, Revelation, Solstice and Iron Man,
Mirror of Deception and Pagan Altar,
Cirith Ungol, Exitus and Scald,
Internal Void, Paul Chain and Warning,
Unorthodox, Cathedral and Cold Mourning.

While Heaven Wept and Minotauri,
Dawn of Winter, Spiritus Mortis,
Electric Wizard, Confessor, Stillborn,
Solomon Kane, Orodruin and Mourn.

We kneel at your altar, we bless thy holy names.
You gave Doom to men, we try to do the same.
But there is one, who is above you:
eternally hailed Goddess of Doom.

Hail to the Goddess, the Goddess of Doom,
who tunes our instruments with darkness and gloom.
The one who does not offer salvation or peace,
but fulfils our minds with luxurious disease.

Hail to the Goddess, the Goddess of Doom,
who tunes our instruments with darkness and gloom.
Hail to the Goddess, the Goddess of Doom.
In the depths of darkness evil flowers bloom.

Hail to the Goddess, the Goddess of Doom!



In midle how many trad. doom band smentionh, oMG so great job, I wanna hear this song, so epic and amazing lyric :_

maybe it is unrelated with the topic, but i don't know where to write this. DAYLIGHT DIES MUST BE ADDED!!! they are a great melodic doom/death metal band. everyone should know this band whether they like doom or not. 'lies that bind' is sooo powerful. check them out on youtube. you won't regret this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGIA6QXkRC0


@ ozguRocks: dude doom/death isn't trad doom metal, so keep it to another topic, we'd better talk about the new Thunderstorm, a great trad doom band from italy that released a new album some time ago, like a month ago.

I checked out Reverend Bizarre and to my surprise didn't really like it. Traditional Doom Metal is still a definite hit-or-miss genre for me. But then again, that goes for most of my fav. genres.

Man....it's so awesome discovering a new genre. It's like the feeling you get when you heard metal for the first time all over again. I'm reading this entire thread and heeding people's advice, and hopefully I'll continue to find more bands. Candlemass and old Black Sabbath are by far my favorites, but I'm really enjoying old Trouble, Saint Vitus, Krux, Sahg, Cathedral, Solitude Aeturnus (still don't have any of their albums ), and Witchfinder General.

As for Reverend Bizarre, III: So Long Suckers is just too goddamn long. It's something like two hours long, and too many Toni Iommi riffs are thrown in. I prefer their older stuff.

It's cool that Reverend Bizarre mentioned the band Mourn in the lyrics to that song! Mourn were a great band, just one proper album but some quality doom rock/metal with great female vocals (quite deep for a woman, and obviously not of the Shitewish variety!) A few of my other faves are mentioned there too (such as Solstice, Warning and Paul Chain, who I mentioned in my post in this thread last year).

I remember reading that in their early days, Dani of Cradle of Filth apparently sabotaged the giant cross that Mourn had onstage and called the band "fucking Christians" or some shit..!?
