Nice, these guys are awesome death metal from California with a lot of doom influence as well. This first album is solid.

Lord Vicar are another awesome traditional doom band from Finland. They also have Peter Inverted (Reverend Bizarre) on guitar, picking up where RB left off. Great album.

Reverend Bizarre - Death Is Glory... Now 2009 (Best Of)

This was a badass move on Reverend Bizarre's part. It's pretty much all of the songs featured on EPs/Singles/Demos/splits besides Return... and Harbinger... And that completes my Reverend Bizarre posts.

Reverend Bizarre - Death Is Glory... Now 2009 


Reverend Bizarre - III: So Long Suckers 2007

This is pretty much the end of Reverend Bizarre. After this they released numerous splits/singles/EP's that were just covers or old songs. So here it is, RB's last full length, coming in at a whopping 2 hours. Had to borrow the link, but if it doesn't stay up I'll upload the album in two parts to mediafire.

Reverend Bizarre - III: So Long Suckers 2007


Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush The Insects 2005

Reverend Bizarre's second full length album. More awesome traditional doom. All the album covers these guys put out are badass.

Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush the Insects 2005


Reverend Bizarre - Return to the Rectory EP 2004

Bizarre's follow up EP to the Harbinger of Metal EP, likewise it runs at over an hour.

Reverend Bizarre - Return to the Rectory EP 2004



Reverend Bizarre - Harbinger of Metal EP 2003

Another great release from Reverend Bizarre. The weird thing about this "EP" is it might as well be a full length album. It's over an hour in running time and features one more song than their debut did, but I'm not complaining. Anyway, this has a really badass Burzum cover.

Reverend Bizarre - Harbinger of Metal EP 2003


Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend 2002

Reverend Bizarre are an awesome doom band from Finland. They keep it pretty traditional when it comes to good doom metal. This is their excellent debut full-length album... I'll eventually get around to posting some of their other material.

Abaddon - Death in Magenta EP 2000

Man, to be honest, this is probably the first extreme metal band I ever listened to. I found out about these guys on mp3.com (I know) years and years ago. Pretty cool I finally found the material again. Black/Death metal from the Netherlands

Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet 1995

Skepticism is a really atmospheric funeral doom band from Finland. Keyboards all through out, but none the less, this is an awesome doom album.

Mercyful Fate 1982 - 1984: EP, Melissa, Don't Break the Oath

Hell yeah, Mercyful Fate. Pure head banging heavy metal. The EP & Melissa are the best, but at the same time I can't deny Don't Break the Oath.

Solstice - New Dark Age 1998

Solstice are from the UK, and besides Candlemass, they're probably one of the first doom metal bands that I started listening to that really kickstarted my appreciation for the genre. Nice traditional doom metal.

Celestial Season - Solar Lovers 1995

Celestial Season is from the Netherlands and actually have quite a few CDs, but I probably like this one the best. Nice heavy deathdoom thats more heavy on the doom than death.

Cauteror - They Fell... 1993

Damn, this demo is good. Really awesome oldschool deathdoom from the Netherlands. 

Cauteror - They Fell... Demo 1993





P.S. if anyone has Cauteror's first 1991 demo "to atonement i am owed" i would really like to get a copy of it, digital or otherwise.


Mourning Beloveth - Sullen Sulcus 2002

Lately I've been getting into a lot more of the straight forward doomy deathdoom bands. This another recent find, and probably the first Irish doom band I've listened to. Sounds like really heavy doom metal with death metal vocals. Definitely check em out.

Old Man's Child - Born of the Flickering 1995

It's pretty few and far between but sometimes I like to listen to black metal. This Old Man's Child album is pretty damn good.

Doom:VS

Doom:VS are a really awesome funeral doom band I just found out about and am pretty stoked on. Fair warning this is pretty slow and atmospheric compared to the rest of what I post on here. But rest assured, both these albums are full of doom and good tunes.

Doom:VS - Aeternum Vale 2006



Doom:VS - Dead Words Speak 2008

Slugathor - Echoes From Beneath 2009

I was talkin to someone about the Finnish band Slugathor and we both agreed the 2009 album is the best work these guys have put out so far. That's not to say their previous two full lengths weren't good, but Slugathor really steps it up on this album. Solid crushing deathdoom.

Slugathor - Echoes From Beneath 2009


Mar de Grises - Draining the Waterheart 2008

Mar de Grises are a great Chilean deathdoom band that have three full lengths out right now. These guys do an awesome job of blending death with lots of doom influence, both heavy and symphonic at times. Draining the Waterheart is easily my favorite release from these guys.

Incantation - Diabolical Conquest 1998


You know I really have no idea why I didn't post this with my original Incantation post but this albums rips too. I mean does it touch Onward to Golgotha? Tough call, it's definitely another solid release from Incantation so check it out.

Incantation - Diabolical Conquest 1998


Lie In Ruins - Swallowed by the Void 2009

These guys actually formed in Finland back in the day in 1993, but only started putting out demos in 2005, and came out with this album in 2009. I read a review that summed these guys up pretty well; imagine Asphyx, Autopsy and Incantation in one and you have this album.

Hatespawn - Ascent From the Kingdom Below 2007

Hatespawn are a German band that did a split with Dead Congregation so I decided to check em out. Glad I did, more excellent deathdoom.

Stench of Decay - Where Death and Decay Reign 2009

Really good Finnish deathdoom.
