For threadstarter, listen to PAINKILLER by Judas Priest or DON'T BREAK THE OATH by Mercyful Fate.
This 'death-doom' subgenre has little to offer except rehashed, unoriginal, easily processed fatalism. Try the so-called 'traditional doom': Reverrend Bizarre, Electric Wizard or Black Sabbath (Cathedral's frist album is also in this category). Solitude Aeturnus's early albums are overlooked classics; they speed up at times and avoid sounding introspective to the point of cheesiness like lots of other doom metal. Pagan Altar is good too but their recordings are horrible and I think they're a joke.Originally Posted by Crushed Hope
