Doom!

[WhiffleBallTony]

Bout as clean as Ozzy Osbourne. To the OP: WhiffleBallTony would be your best bet. He's definately more scholarly with doom bands than I am. I do know Electric Wizard is his favorite band and he likes a few others like The Sword. Should shoot him a mail.

Hehe. Yes.

Mkay, I listen to quite a bit of doom considering how new I am to metal. Here are some of my album/band suggestions (with subgenres is parentheses):

Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics... (stoner doom)
YOB - The Unreal Never Lived (just heavy as **** doom)
Burning Witch - Cripple Lucifer (drone doom)
Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood (sludge/post metal)
Saint Vitus - Saint Vitus (traditional doom)
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty (traditional doom)
Earth - Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version (the first ever drone album)
Bongzilla - Amerijuanican (stoner doom)
BORIS - Smile (an amalgamation of stuff)
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus (epic doom metal/traditional doom)
Funeral - Tragedies (funeral doom)
High on Fire - Death is this Communion (sludge metal/stoner doom)
Melvins - Bullhead (sludge metal)
Om - Conference of the Birds (stoner doom/psychedelic/experimental metal)
Pentagram - Day of Reckoning (traditional doom)

And, no doom collection is complete without...

Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain (stoner doom)

Alright well.. thanks for the suggestions folks. I'll get around to all of them soon. Currently I'm listening to Acid King's "III"..

Make sure you listen to some Sleep. Start with holy mountain and then Dopesmoker.

I also think Black Sabbath: The Earache Tribute - Masters of Misery is a good sludge/doom tribute/comp record.

thou
samothrace
asunder
trees
thergothon

i got my mitts on the new megasus album today and it's really damn good. "red lottery" is definitely the most straightforward doom on here, but the whole thing should be enjoyed by most open-minded metalheads.

They released their album? I'm going to need to check it out. I'm a fan of both Megasus songs that have been in the GH/RB games. I dug "Red Lottery" before I even got into metal and doom metal in particular.
