"Funeral Doom

We use the term Funeral Doom to describe the most extreme split off of Death/Doom. These bands have taken the slowness and heaviness of Doom-metal to new extremes. Generally, the bands create very distorted and depressive yet dreamy music. Grunts or some totally distored version of that are also frequently used. These are the extremists when it comes to slowness and heaviness. The term comes forth from the way the music sounds as if it would fit a funeral or funeral proccession (often moving at the pace of a funeral march).
Exmples: Skepticism, Shape of Despair, Thergothon, Funeral."

Mystic Fibrosis

We also use the term Funeral Doom to appear like we know about what it is we're talking about.

I know what i am talking about

Thergothon were probably the first band to play in this style, about fifteen years ago. Years ahead of their time. Their demo and album have never been topped for sheer desolation IMHO.

I listen to a lot of doom but could never understand what people like about funeral doom, their isnt much happening in it and it lacks alot of the melody and depression of other forms of doom

Is Gently off of Iowa by slipknot something like doom?

never heard the song, but i'm almost certain that it is not doom in the slightest bit!!!
do a google search for My Dying Bride, Cathedral and Esoteric. that might give you some idea of what doom is!

christophicus

yeah but i would have to actually listen to the music to know what it is not just read about.

i think there are a few samples on the official sites of my dying bride, esoteric, paradise lost and cathedral. those bands should give a good indication of what doom metal is all about!

Are Cathedral still doom though? Their recent stuff is more than a wee bit upbeat, although you can still hear the groove they started with. I heard a redo of Ebony Tears done recently by the band, and it was strangely fast and... not doom.

Mourning Beloveth ftw!

I was in Holland last weekend with their drummer and guitar player (Ray, the drummer's, been a mate of mine for a few years). They're insane.

We were at a couple of excellent doom gigs in Arnhem and Tilburg. Electric Wizard were head-lining (oh my gods they were insane), supported by (in Arnhem and in reverse order) The Plague of Gentlemen (very cool), Worship (most excellent) and Reverend Bizzare (pretty good) and in Tilberg (in reverse order again), Planet Aids (strange, but not necessarily bad), The Plague of Gentlemen (I got more into them second time), Worship (once again, most excellent), Reverend Bizare (it all made sense this time - loved them), Esoteric (unbelieveable!!). Wizard destroyed everyone mind you - definitely going again if it's on next year - Ashes to Ashes, Doom to Dust is what they called it or something like that.

It's not necessarily what you might call funeral doom, but it was the best weekend's craic and music I've ever had (after 2 Fury Fest's which I adored).

Agree with Kharn, Ashes to Ashes was out of this world, Esoteric were a spirtual experience.....Doooooooooom
