that stuff's all epic, traditional or stoner doom. Try a Confessor album because I know you like technical metal..

edit: place of skulls is very very christian, I don't know your thoughts on christian metal but there's your warning, haha

I dont really give a shit if it's christian, satanic or whatever as long as it's good.

I'll check out confessor this week then. More technical metal, yeah! And now tech-doom!

@Stefan: yeah i have listened to Candlemass but i did not really like Epicus, liked the s/t better..

Well I love MDB.

As to your list Dago, The Prophecy struck me as pretty technical for a doom band so maybe that is what you are looking for.

I've actually been meaning to give MDB another shot at some point. I heard them years ago, I'm wondering if my tastes have changed. Not high on my list, though.

I'm glad you are willing to give them another try. Remember which albums you thought were too slow and boring? Maybe I could point you to another album.

It would have made more sense as "MDB-mother of death/doom", but then that is quite disputable too.

MDB is nothing of doom. Just the most famous band as of late.

MDB is the one doom/death band among the Paradise Lost, Anathema, Katatonia group still playing a variant of doom. That is their claim to uniqueness.

Even if Lizardtail would refer to that variant as Buffy-doom.

Try: Goatsnake, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre and Confessor (Stefan recommended the same bands, btw). And I don't think Empyrium belongs here, but that's just me.

Goatsnake, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre and Confessor i say, though its probably not the best places to start.

You must check out Witchfinder General, Saint Vitus, Dark Quarterer, Candlemass etc
