I know the first three aren't really doom by any means, and I understand that, but I was hoping for some suggestions.

My curiosity was aroused tonight when I finally got around to listening to Candlemass - Death Magic Doom. Holy shit yeah. Awesome.

So, can anyone give me some suggestions on two different categories?

1) Bands similar in quality and style to Swallow the Sun, Daylight Dies, Nov's Doom, etc

2) The milestones/epics of doom metal

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I can't help you with 1.

But as far as 2 goes, pretty much anything by Cathedral rules and is very accessible even for non-doom/stoner fans (they pretty much single-handedly got me into the genre). Two of the best are "Come My Fanatics" and "Dopethrone" by Electric Wizard, who is probably my overall favorite stoner/doom band. Sleep's Holy Mountain and Jerusalem are awesome and important, but are probably acquired tastes (Dopesmoker, also cool, is like the extended version of Jerusalem). One of my recent favorites that I've been playing on repeat is "Busse Woods" by Acid King. Neal can probably help you out more than I can but I think that's a pretty decent start.

^ Thanks man. Appreciate the help. New Dark Tranquillity has some killers, and some fillers. Overall good vibes from the first listen though.

SLEEP'S. HOLY. MOUNTAIN.

Both of The Sword's albums gloriously rip Holy Mountain off, but they are still fun to listen to and the band is cool as hell live. Give them a shot too.

Wearing my Daylight Dies shirt right now.

Definitely check out Draconian (you should already know them but I don't know), Evoken (more like Funeral Doom but good), Reverend Bizarre, and Thorr's Hammer.


EDIT:

New DT leaked? Where was I yesterday? Sweet.

This band Thrawsunblat put out a 8 song demo and its probably the coolest thing I have heard so far this year. The song Black Sky slays all... http://www.myspace.com/thrawsunblat

The main fella from Woods Of Ypres plays drums on it. On their forum there is a link to a torrent...

The new Alcest is coming out at the end of March as well. March could be a fun month since the new Burzum will be coming out then too. I am waiting for a preorder on Burzum.

Take Rotting Christ off my "consistently awesome" bands list. Their new one is the biggest disappointment I've heard in the last 3 years.

The amount of Death-ish riffs and melodies on the Charred Walls Of The Damned CD is almost offensive.

The new Eluveitie album is pretty damn good... I wasn't expecting it at all.

I never got into Kalmah, from what I heard from the new album it sounded pretty bland as all of their stuff has to me. I think they are just not my cup of tea, might download the album just to give them a full chance though.

I have been listening to the new Catamenia album quite a bit, its pretty addicting. I'm really surprised I like it, I only enjoyed one track of theirs previously which was The Day When The Sun Faded Away its sweet but the rest of the Location: Cold album blows.

Also checked out the Burzum album, its pretty wild. Definitely sounds like Burzum, only complaint would be the intro and the outro. There are a few parts that are totally mind blowingly awesome. Very happy with it.

Quick reviews:

New Burzum - cool

New Darkthrone - AWESOME. HELL FUCKING YEAH!

New Solution .45 - Awesome

New Wrath And Rapture - I dug, and I think Don and all other Jari-fellaters on this forum will jizz their pants when they hear it. Download it!

New Audrey Horne- Really good

New Borknagar- Great

New Dark Tranquillity - OK... hoping it grows on me more

New Finntroll - cool

New Kalmah - Much, much better than the last 2 albums

New Ash Pool - cool

^ God. Nice "Quickies".

i honestly think the new Catamenia is piss as(s) fuckin poor. I've been a fan of every album they've done. VIII worried me a bit, (though it was still in the same spirit) but this is just... not the same kind of band. Oh well. I guess 9 albums later you get sick of not getting recognized for making better shit than everyone else in your genre after every album you made rocks dicks to gay hell... Still though,

Kalmah - The best
Eluveitie - Much better than expected. Great!
Finntroll - Different, but quite awesome!
Dark Tranq - Different and good, though a bit misguided...

Damn the Whispered is rippin my ears though. So GOOD!

edit: I thought I heard about them on here. If not, check out Whispered - Thousand Swords. It's as if Persefone's new CD was good!
