Doom Metal

[WhiffleBallTony]

I was just curious if any of you out there were doom metal fans. The only person on this board I know that does is HungryFreak, but other than that, I haven't seen any people in the History of Rock forum that are doom fans.

So, is there anyone out there into Electric Wizard, Sleep, Sunn O))), or any other doom bands? I find that, of all the metal subgenres, it has the smallest following.

Anyone?

i'm a huge doom metal fan.
i've played in several bands (mostly of the more "southern sludge" persuasion, due to my location) and enjoy bands ranging from pentagram to nortt to black boned angel.

Well, as you pointed out, WBT, I love myself some doom. The genre doesn't get as much respect as it deserves, people are too impatient for a lot of it, I find. It's absolutely mesmerizing, though, when done correctly.

Very much so. I've never met anyone in person who can handle doom metal. I guess it's their patience.

I'm a fan of stoner/doom/sludge metal bands such as The Sword, sHeavy, Black Cobra, Acid King, Witchcraft, Saviours, and High on Fire.

I wouldn't call myself a huge doom metal fan, but I enjoy listening to Candlemass, sHeavy, the Sword, Krux and Solitude Aeturnus.

Its hit or miss for me, some is good, some bores the hell out of me. My old band wrote a song that was really slow and heavy... and later called it Doom ahaha

I like stoner metal and Sabbath imitators. I've been trying to get into full doom but it's kinda tough.
