In a fair world, 2014 is finally going to be the year of the best doom band there is, Thou. The new album Heathen is out there, it's fucking slaying AotY material, and they have so much more stuff coming up.
Most of their excellent back catalogue is available for free on their homepage, so do yourself a favour and check it out. There's a nice Sabotage cover somwhere in this video.

The lead singer of Grammy-nominated metal band As I Lay Dying pleaded guilty Tuesday to trying to hire someone to kill his estranged wife.

It's great, but primitive compared to Neonism. I'm excited for Kosmopolis, apparently they're getting back to that sound. I love all of their stuff, but Neonism is from another planet. The ultimate avant garde metal album.
you already there breh?
No. But i have been before.

I tend to separate melodic death metal (Arghoslent, Dismember, early At The Gates etc.) and melodef (later At The Gates and their clones).
I can't think of any band that sounds like Arghoslent, though some people refer to them as a death metal version of Running Wild, haha. Sacriphyx is good but not really that similiar.
Arghoslent did a split with a band called Stargazer, they might be to your liking even if they're not exactly like Arghoslent. I'm not usually into "technical" metal bands but Stargazer are really good and not wanky at all.
Kostogher is my favorite. Haven't bothered with anything after Antikosmos.
StarGazer sounds good. I want to know one thing though, is it uncommon to have deep growl vocals? Every time I hear something that has death vocals, it is not too deep, and is somewhat on a higher pitch. Unless this is a completely different type of vocal sound that I am not too familiar with.
I have sviga lae (sp?) and peepeepeepeepeeeee and they aren't too bad. I think antikosmos is my favorite
edit: and out of curiosity I checked out his books on ebay. holy shit, hundreds of dollars for these things
Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation (Death Metal)
This album fucking rules. The Needle Drop Review is great, too.

If you get the chance, check out Lamb Of God's movie, 'As The Palaces Burn'. Australia got it in cinemas last night, not sure about the rest of the world...
Great film, starts off as a great 'about the fans' film that dramatically changes gears when Randy got arrested in Prague. Even of you're not a LOG fan, you'll gain some respect for Randy from what he goes through, as he gets sent home and then is actually brave enough to go back for his trial. I think most of us in that spot would've just stayed home.
And even though you already know the verdict, you're still on the edge of your seat for the trial bit. Was really interesting to see how Randy takes a really responsible approach, and really cool to see how he's sobered up and got his shit together. The band seemed to to be just as concerned about one of their fans being killed, as well as what happens to Randy.

I have covered the whole Death's Spiritual Healing album, so if you like early Death, be sure to check it out:

I saw Jucifer in a similar sized dive bar twice. So fucking awesome and ear bleeding loud.

Dude, earplugs. Please.
I know it's not very 'metal' but seriously, take it from someone who never looked after his hearing. Tinitis is fucked.
Standing three feet from a crash cymbal in a dingy practice room, going to shows and never wearing ear plugs, never wearing hearing protection while shooting guns.
All of these things are bad for you and you will regret them later in life.
Trust me.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
+1 to that.
I just got it like a week ago. I think the Amon Amarth show was the tipping point, but it didn't develop until a couple weeks after that happened. It's horrible and I'm hoping it eventually goes away, but somehow I doubt it. Fortunately I don't really notice it if my mind is really occupied playing a game or whatever.

Aww yiss
...and to think 30 hours ago I had no idea Blood Eagle even existed. Hail Conan!

Well, for me, deep would be something like Artificial Brain that was posted just now, and I somehow lean more towards this style of death vocals. I do have to say that I also like Chuck's style in Death as well.
They actually had earbuds available if you needed them, and I got a set last night. I never use them myself, and that was insanely loud. Probably one of the louder shows I have been to.

Any recommendations for someone whose ears are already shot from too many unprotected shows, but who doesn't yet have tinnitus and wants to avoid it?
I tried a popular set of musicians' earplugs, but just pulled them out after a couple of songs because it sounded like the band was playing through a pillow. Tried the same set with a less aggressive sound cancelling tube (they came with two types blocking different decibel levels), but they were still no good: can't hear the music with them in.
I find myself being really selective about the shows I go to now. I lucked out by avoiding tinnitus. I don't want to stop going to see bands, but my hearing's too screwed to use conventional plugs. Wondering if there's a set out there for guys like me.

Cruz del Sur is becoming my favorite record label. The new Atlantean Kodex album is fucking great, the new Argus is almost as good and the just released Dark Forest album is also amazing.
Epic Metal blended with NWOBHM and Power Metal. Melancholic and uplifting at once.

Goddamn.
Holy shit, Joy of Motion is coming out in a few weeks. Better ready my Sennheisers!
So I just started into doom/drone metal... I started with Candlemass' Epicus Doomicus and moved to Cathedral's Forest of Equilibrium and then Boris' Pink. Then to Sunn O)))'s Black One, which I am currently in the middle of.
Did NOT know what I was getting myself into with Sunn O))).

Sunn O))) is...an acquired taste. Give Earth a shot.
I'm not necessarily enjoying it, but I can't turn it off. It's like I'm watching the scariest horror movie I've ever seen, but condensed into audio.

Great start so far. Perfect almost.
Sunn O))) is definitely an acquired taste, more so an experience. Listening to it on a high quality stereo system will bring out the extreme low ends.
I have yet to experience them live and I'm not sure if i can take it.
Winter - Into Darkness is a good band to check out too.

Ha, it took me ONE listen to make my decision of Epicus when I listened to it last year. It became my favorite Doom Metal album almost instantly.
