Death-Doom!

[WeHuntKings]

I just started listening to early Anathema, Tiamat, and My Dying Bride. Would love to hear more death doom out there. I already know and love Thorr’s Hammer, and would love to discover more in that vein.

[D.o.S.]

Long time no see friend!

Check out Paradise Lost.

Katatonia. On Thorns I Lay. Arcane Sun. October Tide. Rapture. Amorphis. Unholy.

I <3 me some '90s death/doom.

[goroth]

You gotta remember that a lot of death doom bands did other stuff and went off the rails - often into equally good stuff of course.
First couple of PL albums are good death doom, then they are good gothic rock, then they had a bad run of just meh. Then came Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us. So fucking good. All the albums after that have been decent too.

Mar de Grises were really good - check out Draining the Waterheart
One of the dudes was in Poema Arcanus which is a good fun band too.

Katatonia - early stuff for sure, then they went melancholic. But they haven't released a bad album. Last album was fucking killer. Try Brave Murder Day or The Fall of Hearts.
Novembers Doom are consistently awesome - I really like Bled White, but all their albums are good.
Swallow the Sun are good - their latest relesae was a triple album that didn't necessarily get super good reviews but I dug it a lot.
Gathering's old stuff was pretty death doomy - check out Always.
Morning Beloveth - Formless. You will like this.

Moonspell's breakthrough album, Wolfheart is pretty fantastic but perhaps not quite right. Who cares. It's good.

I also think Ahab have been getting further from funeral doom and more into gothic death doom stuff - check out The Boats of the Glen Carrig.

Also listen to Vallenfyre.
Not much doom in it, nor melody, but everything they have done is a faceripper.

Evoken, especially Quietus album. That one is in top 3 death/doom albums for me.

Ahab
Evoken
Swallow The Sun
Thergothon
Skepticism
Mournful Congregation
Esoteric (U.K.)
Shape of Despair
Mourning Beloveth
Daylight Dies
Inverloch
Loss (Nashville, TN)

[Bloodhammer]

Oh yeah, and yet another Finnish band:

Tyranny

[Pete]

Check out Disembowelment

[goroth]

Why thank you Pete, I think I will.

[D.o.S.]

New Mournful Congregation is excellent.

[cantremember]

Don't forget Spectral Voice! They're awesome live and the other band they are in (blood incantation) is also really good.

[Iommic Pope]

Don't forget Spectral Voice! They're awesome live and the other band they are in (blood incantation) is also really good.

Both of these projects are fucking great, listening now.
I'm gonna be living in this thread for a while, thanks duders!

My tastes generally lean more toward the less melodic stuff.

Decomposed - Hope Finally Died

Runemagick - Invocation of Magick

big +1 for Disembowelment

Morgion - Solinari (the album before this is good too) This one is more melodic/gothic. Probably fits in better with the usual suspects.

Hooded Menace are lovely folks and a lovely band.

[John Matrix]

It's been mentioned already but the newest Mournful Congregation album is probably their best one and a masterpiece of funeral doom.

If you like that style of epic and melodic death/funeral doom then you might also like Un. Played with these dudes a few times and they always rule!
