Novice at the Gates of Doom
As the title suggests, I have decided to start exploring a whole new genre of the metal realm. I've been listening to so much black metal and nothing but black metal, so I need to start finding other stuff to help balance it out. I don't need anything similar to black metal, such as black/doom.
I've done some research into popular doom bands I've heard mentioned on this board. My findings suggest my doom preferences go for a heavy, modern production, clean vocals that don't go too high (no falsetto range), and influences from stoner rock add some life to it. I really think I can get into this genre and embrace it almost as much as with my love for black metal, and I'm excited that I'm finally branching out to other kinds of metal.
My research has rendered the following albums as the best of what I've liked so far (basing my opinions on myspace samples), and potentially the first albums I buy in my new doom quest.
Candlemass - Candlemass
Cathedral - Carnival Bizarre
Electric Wizard - We Live and/or Come My Fanatics...
Lamented Souls - The Origins of Misery
Pentagram - Day of Reckoning
Reverend Bizarre - Crush the Insects
So based on those albums, please offer your guidance as I pursue a secondary path in my metal experience. Remember, no NWOBHM vocals, not yet. Thanks!

I know what you're talking about, and I would like you to be my counselor in the ways of Doom. By NWOBHM vocals I (generalizing) mean the high falsetto vocals. I don't want vocals too high or cheesy sounding. I think the more natural clean voice suits the mood better.
Thanks for the recs, I will me a studious disciple of your doomish ways.

Evoken isn't what he's looking for at the moment, silly. He's looking for Traditional Doom.
And yeah, you're not going to find much falsetto in Doom Metal in general.

Oh, traditional doom? I thought just doom, death/doom. Sorry then.

What I'm seeming to like so far is traditional doom/stoner doom with modern production, which adds to the heaviness. The song "Hopkins the Witchfinder General" by Cathedral is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.
