- Hour of 13 (can't believe this band is left out)
Just received my copy of it today... and my God this is some kick ass METAL. I wouldn't call them straight up doom though. More like NWOBHM with heavy doom influences. So a bit like The Lamp Of Thoth, but the Lamp is nowhere near as good as Hour Of 13 though.
I'm glad my comments were useful to you in discovering a new band. In addition to that I want to mention a new band called Nomad Son http://www.myspace.com/nomadsonmalta http://www.nomadson.com . It consists of Albert Bell (bassist Forsaken) and the other 4 members come from a classic rock/metal band Frenzy Mono. Their debut album is going to be released 19th July on Metal-On-Metal records. Pretty good stuff.
Yes, first of all thanks for pointing me towards Hour Of 13.
I will also check out Nomad Son.
Btw, question, are you active on Templars Forum of Pagan Altar? Cause I guy I was posting with at www.metalfan.nl called Strijdkreet mentioned people from Malta being on that forum who did know Hour Of 13, unlike me

Speaking of Pagan Altar, I'm wondering whether my Volume 1 is a bootleg or not.
The back cover is really low res, and the booklet has just two pages. Are these suppposed to be so?

I don't have it as an original so it is hard for me to tell you if it is a bootleg or not.
First of all... is it a cd or lp?
Second, what label released it?

CD, as the lp was called 'Judgement of the Dead'.
The cd version was released by Oracle Records. Oracle Records/Promotions is mentioned inside the booklet, but nowhere else. The cd seems to be pressed by Hiltongrove.

Just found this piece of info that could explain your enquiry:
Also re-released on vinyl 2005, by Black Widow Records, with a different
artwork and under the name of Judgement of the Dead, which was to be the
original title for Volume 1. This version also comes with a bonus track, "March
of the Dead (first version)" (3:55)
Black Widow LP-Version is released as a normal black vinyl version with a
biography book and printed innersleeve and as a collector's edition of 300 red
LPs (also with the book and printed innersleeve), handnumbered on a small
cardboard.
There exist many Bootleg LP Versions of this album, made in the USA in the
mid-1990's. They are of inferior sound quality and overall cheaply done.
Cheers!!

No, actually it doesn't, unless I missed something? Of course I had checked the MA-page, but I have the cd version, not the lp one.
Cheers anyway.
It's not really all that big deal, just something that's bugging me out. I'd like to hunt down the official lp version too, seems to be pretty rare tho.

Try and check out with the Miskatonic Foundation then. They will surely help you out. The guitarist from PA (Rich Walker) is the owner and is a very helpful guy.

Problem is though that ALL of the Miskatonic Foundation's releases are sold out very quickly upon release since they are heavily limited and they have a very tight group of customers. But of course it is always worth a try, since they might be able to help someone further concerning the releases.
Btw, Rich's other band Isen Torr is also great, although not really traditional doom at all. Far more like Atlantean Kodex so, let's call it epic metal. But a great band nonetheless. The mini MIghty & Superior has just been re-released by Shadow Kingdom records and has artowrk which is worth being decapitated for.

But he hates bootlegs & people who buy them, I'm too afraid to ask
I'll try at the Pagan Altar's or Hellride forum when I have the time to register on them.

Í absolutely love Will Of The Gods Is Great Power, for me that is the best album ever to be released i Russia. A shame that the vocalist died at such a young age. If that hadn't happened I am sure w ewould have had many more great album from their hands.

Not sure if this band has been mentioned, but has anyone heard anything from Seamount? I read they put out their debut full length this year and it sounds interesting. Having Phil Swanson (Hour of 13) on vocals is enough to get me looking.

I only know them by name. By like you said, having Phil Swanson (Hour Of 13, Vestal Claret, ex-Atlantean Kodex) on vocals is enough for me to check them out.

If anyone happens to be interested, the upcoming Electic Wizard/Reverend Bizarre-split is available for pre-ordering at Rise Above. (Been so for a few days actually). RB's Beherit-cover should be interesting.

All nice bands (except new Anathema for me) but unfortunately they have nothing to do with traditional doom metal. To get an idea of the sort of doom bands this thread is about please read the first post.

Anyone got the new Apostle of Solitude or The Wandering Midget already? Got recently released by Eyes Like Snow.

Funny you should mention them cause I was just about to order those two. Apparently the Apostle of Solitude album is very good and I have heard different views on The Wandering Midget

Yeah, while Midget sounds pretty solid they really aren't too original, especially the singer doesn't even try to hide his influences...

I had been listening a lot to Serenity later, a band about which I knew of their existence for long but never took the time to check... I got their "Then Came Silence" cd and it's amazing british traditional doom. It makes me remember Solstice but they sound a bit more "down to earth" if anyone gets what I mean.
@TBS: only ONE band on that list is actually traditional doom

Speaking of Pagan Altar i believe that the are not clearly doom,they carry much elements from NWOBHM along with some early Black Sabbath doom stuff.And as for The Hidden Hand they have much psychedelic sound and some stoner stuff they are away from traditional doom metal.
For the rest of the band i can only say,True doom!
