If you like faster paced doom also check out Centurions Ghost though the vocals aren't doomy at all.
The Gates Of Slumber will apparently be releasing their new album in May.

Indeed, thanks for the heads up. I also just found Memento Mori too and it's fucking great!

still there is no way I am getting into the awefull band that is Reverend Bizarre, damn that band is bad.

Just because you don't like it you think it's bad?
I don't like Doomsword at all but it is impossible to state they are bad.

Reverend Bizarre are a hard band to get into I agree. IMO it is impossible to get into if you just started listening and liking traditionnal doom metal. But RB are the summit/epitome of traditional doom. Just listen to the bass... that is soooooooooooo Sabbath.
The Rev are brilliant, and it's not without reason they are held in high esteem by 99% of all the players in the traditional doom scene worldwide.

Has anyone ever listened to Tristitia? They're a (now defunct) Doom Metal band from Sweden. They edge towards the more conventional slow, dark side of Doom Metal, as apposed to something more Blues influenced and/or upbeat. The vocals seem to stand out, being a mix of deep clean singing and raspy screams. Members of Pagan Rites too.

Another kick ass Swedish band is Count Raven, even though the vocals almost sound too much like Ozzy. Listening to them now.

Yeah no problem. It has a much more Traditional feel, as opposed to Doom. But great regardless. Got to love the cover art too.

Had you listened to Gods Tower? they're an epic trad doom band from Belarus that play the same style than Scald, but they're even better. Their album "The Eerie" is a blood-chilling masterpiece.

The Sword fucking rule. Their new album isn't as good as Age of Winters, but that was expected. They're one of my favorite bands to play around people who can barely tolerate metal, because they appeal to most people.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 10.04.2008 at 23:06

Seems to be very Conan inspired just like Suffer No Guilt whihc also had an awesome cover.

Written by Clintagräm on 12.04.2008 at 04:59

I was wondering people's opinions on The Sword? It seems they get a lot of bad rap, or maybe that's just from the elitist fucks over at Metal-Archives, but I don't think they're that bad. Granted, they are total Sabbath worship, but there are a lot worse bands out there. Anyway, nothing original, but would be entertaining to see live.

Written by [user id=5080] on 15.04.2008 at 02:24

I don't understand that buzz around The Sword, really... they had always sounded like some kind of "traditional doom metal for dummies" for me.

Well they're sure not very original, but I don't think they're bad. I could see people liking them and I'm sure they'd be fun live. I had a chance to see them last year but passed it up. You can't go wrong with Sabbath-worship, but you really can't go anywhere either.

wtf I thought you liked them xD. Did you change your mind or something? I will admit that the new album isn't the greatest, but I still love their debut.

curently I am enjoying Warning a lot, I love those vocals, the singer really has an special voice.

Written by Clintagräm on 21.05.2008 at 12:48

I've been listening to a bit of Solstice lately and am beginning to like them a lot more than I remember. I am thinking of buying one of their releases here within the next few weeks as I start making more money for summer and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to which full length to get first. I've only heard songs from 'The New Dark Age' but have only been able to find 'Lamentations' for sale (12 USD) online. I'd like to get my hands on both of them, but am just trying to decide where to start. Regardless, this is some tasty doom. Now playing - "Stormchild."

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 21.05.2008 at 12:55

The New Dark Age I find to be Solstice's best closely followed by Lamentations.The Halcyon ep is also very goo. So, what it boils down to is that all three releases are very good to great. All three have been re-released by Cyclone Empire last year and contain a lot of bonus tracks. All three re-releases clock in just over 70 mnutes.
'So... just go get all three and you won't be disappointed.
Rich Walker is a great musician and of course a full cousing of Warning's Pat Walker.
