Funny thing with Sleep and Electric Wizard is they literally had both similar musical arcs but in opposite directions; both bands pretty much took each other’s sound. In their beginnings, Sleep was Sludgy, Nihilistic, and a 4-piece; while Electric Wizard were more psychedelic, spacey, and a 3-piece. And then they switched directions respectively from there-on.
@@fuzzfiend sleep started as a 4-piece with hakius, cisneros, pike and justin marler. marler left to become a christian orthodox monk and helped created a zine called death to the world
@@pedrolabrador__ People don’t remember volume 1 as well because of the perfection that is Sleep’s holy mountain. Also Al is one of the underrated bass players of all time.
Glad to see Acid Bath still being talked about in 2023! They put Louisiana metal (specially in Terrebonne/Lafourche) on the map. Dax and Sammy are still hailed as gods here
Both Noothgrush and Meth Drinker would fit well in tier five. By the way, I just discovered your content and I am learning so much from you! Thank you!
one of the most unique bands on here for me is windhand, the vocals are so ethereal and beautiful against the heaviness i really wish i could find more like them
Only omission i was surprised by was the lack of mention of Crowbar and their major influence on sludge doom. I consider those guys to be one of, if not THE, pioneers of Sludge. Great video, Wyatt! Always love these, as i find TONS of new music to explore
I agree with all of these statements. As well as your praises and encouragement to the channel creator. Just started watching these videos. Like the vibes in the comments as well.
I see that Gravediggaz vinyl on your shelf there. Respect. A major classic, as a 90s hip hop lover and doom / sludge metal lover as well, I love to see the variety. Funny both genres compliment eachother, horrorcore and doom metal.
been waiting years for this one. Cant believe reverend bizarre dont get enough recognition for they write some of the most emotional, heavy, monumental rocking albums of all time. Albert Witchfinder is a genius
Another MAJORRRR highlight of emotive doom, YOB!! They’re really the best band out of that style since Pallbearer, and the influence is obvious. They’re incredible
See them more as stoner not anything emotive or funeral. Mike is a super nice guy not my thing but cool to see their career take the path it did. They were around for a decade before they got noticed think they even split for a moment. Wonder if he is still dating an old friend of mine!
you missed Katatonia, their early music was strongly influenced by death/doom metal with a dash of goth rock. They kept the doom influence throughout their catalog while experimenting with different genres and got more progressive with each release. One of my favourite bands along with Opeth. Anathema was also quite doomy at the start. Also there is genre called "doom jazz" which i highly suggest.
yeah i'm surprised he brought up October Tide and not Katatonia, considering Jonas formed October Tide with Frederik and did vocals on the album he showed
I've been looking forward to this one and you didn't disappoint!!!!!! I was waiting the whole video for you to mention KHANATE though!! Christ when I bought their debut on release I honestly thought that was the most unsettling music I'd ever heard. Absolutely devastating. Cheers pal, I'm looking forward to your next one.
I've always been more into the doom with the non-clean vocals, Thou, Indian, and Primitive Man are three of my favorites. My favorite though is probably Noothgrush, they're amazing. Surprised I didn't see them mentioned on this list. Great video!
Just gave me 20 albums Ive never heard of to listen to in the span of half an hour. That's like 20+ hours of good ass music for 30 minutes of my time. Incredible video man.
Right I notice he did not mention it. It's an amazing album. ' traveling alone', 'death is not an exit', 'alternate ending', 'kiss my ashes (goodbye)' and that opener track man what a great album. David Gold's lyricism and vocals are just incredible. What a tragic loss for the world of music...
Love this list,doom is what got me into metal and extreme metal with Cough, bell witch and mizmor are personal favorites, a band definitely doing their own thing I recommend Yob, probably favorite band of all time, love your vids Wyatt, you’re my favorite music based channel on UA-cam and always come here for some good music recommendations
There is another great band called simply "Hell" and I would probably put them between "gritty doom" and "nightmare doom" on your chart, being not as extreme as the bands in the nightmare tier but definetly more extreme many of the bands in the gritty tier. They are very good and I would greatly reccomend them. Their self titled album ant the album simply titled "III" are very good IMO. Also good video as per usual :)
That is sludge. Also I have it on cd if you want to buy it! 🤣 Everyone talks about Dystopia and Asunder but Eyes of Fire and the Gault were the best bands from that scene by far.
@@patrickbertlein4626 I've seen every description from crust to sludge to even people say it edges on black metal....none of which I disagree with, I just think it's actually more doom than anything else. Same with Acid Bath, who are on here.
My most played genre last year was Post-Doom Metal, honestly I had no idea what it was before the Spotify recap. Thanks for these.. really. I had lost interest in finding new music before i found your channel. Now i have a record collection of 115 records. Went deep down the rabbit hole thanks to you and Metal trenches.
I’m so happy you put Senthil on this list it needs attention one of the most brutal and insane projects I’ve ever heard. I slid up on ur story the other day and told you they were like my favorite band of all time lmfaoo. Omg you did Wormphlegm too? Another awesome one.
Yeah for every band I think he missed or could have mentioned he had one that was new for me. That doesn't happen often at my age! Dude knows his stuff...but still no Nortt?!?! haha
this tierlist video was so fun to watch. ive seen all tierlist videos so far from you but for some reason this was one of the most entertaining to see maybe its because i have deep appreciation to the genre without being as much into it like i am with black and death metal. definitely checking the lower tiers. also was cool to realize some bands ive heard many times were doom its just a slap to my face about how ignorant ive been with genres of some music ive heard.
Man I didn't see Ufomammut on here or psychedelic doom getting it's on genre on here. Ufomammut is Italian Psychedelic doom with riffs that just melt your bones with some of their grooves
Another criminally overlooked Italian stoner doom band is Black Capricorn. They're extremely high quality and it's a shame I never hear anyone talk about them.
22:04 Seth actually only did one show with Upsidedown Cross when he was their guitar player (that show was at the Polish American Club in Southbridge, MA on April 20th, 2001). He joined in 1999 and the band broke up in 2003 (no recordings with him exist despite him being credited on the split 7" with Sloth they did). There was an attempt to get upsidedown cross back together with Josh Martin on guitar and John Gillis on drums but it failed due to cheez (bass player) not being in a state to play a musical instrument. Josh ended up starting the band "Adolf Satan" with Larry Lifeless (vocals), Seth Putnam (drums), and Nick Camilleri (bass) (Seth quit and moved to texas before they even did a demo and Nate Linehan became their drummer). UDC did get back together as a two piece in 2011 (larry on guitar and vocals with seth on drums) and did some shows but only rehearsal footage of that lineup currently exists.
Burning Witch would also fit very well within the ''Extreme Doom'' list, these guys have some really heavy good riffs. One of the members actually joined Goatsnake at one point too
@@fuckcensorship69 Hmm yeah you might indeed be correct! Didn't knew he was in Sunn O))), the crossovers with band members in the sludge and doom scenes are always interesting to see
Heck yeah Been wanting to see a doom metal related video here for a quite some time now. Doom metal and sludge pretty much became my favorite subgenres over the past few years.
That last tier was so hard to listen I said the exact same words you said. Outstanding video and reccomendations as always. Speaking of the band Trees of Eternity, Juha Raivio released another project named Hallatar in 2017 as a tribute to Aleah's memory. Listening to those records knowing the tragic backstory and paying attention to the lyrics was difficult for me. You really need to have a specific mindset to listen to those two albums in one session... I even was very surprised by the vocal delivery by Amorphis' Tomi Joutsen. It contains some of the harshest vocals he's ever done and Aleah's voice is on the final track... so many emotions in one night.
I can't believe you left Nortt out of Funeral Doom. He has been around since the early 2000's Mizmor is the side project of the Drummer/vocalist of Hell, from Salem, OR, and they have a similar sound to Mizmor and The Body, but I'm a huge fan of Hell. Another band worth checking out is Slow, from Belgium. The Russian doom label, Solitude Productions has had some great doom bands from all across the board. I got into Amederia, Comatose Vigil, Calliophis, and Ornamentos del Meido, thanks to their 24 hour radio.
Hellyeah! Definitely some projects here that are new to me that I'm checking out (i.e. Black Bile from Cyprus). Ahab's "The Call of the Wretched Sea", Bvried at Sea's "Migration", Agalloch's (I consider them Blackened Folk Doom) "The Mantle" and "Ashes Against the Grain", and Bell Witch's "Mirror Reaper" are utter masterpieces and my favorite albums overall in the entire Doom genre. Morbid Evils, Conan, Amenra, Indian, Spectral Voice, None, Hooded Menace, Mournful Congregation, and Warning are all personal favorite bands I dig too-- Primitive Man's music rips too, but their political statements can be really cringe and kind of ruin some of the preference in wanting to listen to them. I and my buddy Foster of Bukavac also have a Funeral/ Psychedelic Lovecraftian Doom Metal project called Pythonissam.
Great job on the "Iceberg". I`m sure your getting a lot of "what about`s", but I think The Melvins deserved a mention in there - probably "sludge doom". So influential
I'm kinda sad cause Draconian didn't get a mention :( But anyways, nice video as always. Thanks for letting me know about Warning. Just checked them out and love it :D
2 bands for Death Doom that I felt prudent to mention are Dream Death’s Journey into Mystery (1987), and perhaps a highly contentious one, Celtic Frost’s first 2 albums (Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion), and By extension, Hellhammers Apocalyptic Raids EP. Both I believe were more associated with thrash, and for Celtic Frost, black metal. But musically, while certainly having thrash elements and influencing Black Metal (for CF), I always felt that they had less in common with bands from those genres; and it clicked for me to associate them with Death Doom, especially if you compare them to Early Paradise Lost and Winter. Both bands were the first in the genre to incorporate Elements of Doom, Slower tempos, and heavy rhythms à la Black Sabbath. If nothing else, I can at least say that HellHammer’s Triumph of Death is one of, if not the first example of Death Doom. I also want to say that, while not necessarily a doom metal band themselves, Darkthrone were one of the Earlier Black Metal Bands that incorporated a lot of Doom metal in their music, especially in Under a Funeral Moon and Panzerfaust. And I’d say a lot of that had to do with Celtic Frost’s style and influence.
Thanks I’m truly flattered but they aren’t Made a handful of mistakes such as calling Kauan a Finnish band when they’re from Russia (their lyrics are Finnish) and saying Skepticism debut is Ravencrowfleet when it’s Stormcrowfleet
Ahab hasn't been Funeral Doom in a long time IMHO ("The Divinity Of Oceans" was the last true case of this in their discography) and they have since become their own beast I call Post-Doom, having added Progressive, Psychedelic, Death, Stoner and Jazz tendencies to their instrumental palette. Daniel has also added more optimistic inflections to his clean vocal melodies.
Great video!! Just let me recommend a couple of spanish bands that would fit perfectly in some of the tiers, one being Barbarian Swords from Barcelona, a perfect blend of black metal and the most agonic doom you're gonna hear out there. The other band would be Orthodox, from Seville, especially with their first album, "Gran Poder"; crushingly slow doom metal. Check out "Geryon's Throne" half an hour of agonic drone doom.
Fuoco Fatuo is noteworthy funeral doom band to mentioned too because not like other funeral doom bands, they sound so angry, dark, and nihilistic. Every time I listen to their latest album I felt like just staring to the gate of hell.
Some omissions aside, this a very good general, overall spread of the whole doom genre and its different veins. Bands that I personally would've expected to see in their respective tiers (but of course as you said from the very beginning, you couldn't fit every single doom band in this video): The Body, Toadliquor, Bottom Feeder, Meth Drinker, [Asunder, Dispirit and The Gault, three of the bands where John Gossard from Weakling played in], and Funeral (the band that gave Funeral Doom its name in the first place), Un, Usnea (these two I saw years ago, a really killer show) and Lycus. Fun fact, Boris, as you mentioned in the video, don't stick to a single genre, they just play whatever they like with each new album. They composed the instrumental piece for an idol group called Saka Sama, you can find them credited in the video's description. ua-cam.com/video/Tls8dZ_NjdQ/v-deo.html
Thanks Wyatt for a well researched, imformative burger on Doom. Plenty of bands I will checkout . Suprised you didnt include Portal somewhere. They do some scary doomy damn fine. You made me laugh on that last portion of your iceberg . Agonising, noisedisturbing not natural tormented miserableunsettling and unwelcoming. !! Im going to have to be in the mood to check out that teir but im sure that day will come. Funny as but
You asked for it! So some additions of unmentioned bands to this wonderful Video. Thank You. I´ll limit it to tree: Most obvious; I´d even categorize them into the Top Tier: "Solitude Aeturnus", early band, having played their Epic Doom Style for all of the nineties through and into the 2000s, having released a flawless discography of 6 full lengths, to me being the best their second one "Beyond the crimson Horizon" "Conan" I will mention too, though they are hard to categorize, maybe the Stoner section, though i don´t find it really befitting. To me they always sound like Fudge Tunnel would have decided to play Doom Metal now. An absolutely fabulously refined guitar tone, that makes anyone forget, that the riffs played might be heard earlier, but never like that. Sometimes it´s not what You do, it´s how You do it, and in this regard Conan are Masters. Then, because right now, I´m head over heals in love with them, i have to mention "Thy listless heart". Definitely emotive Doom Category. Just one Album yet, just released last year. But for anyone who doesn´t need walls of sound at any time, but who can do with classy bits of versatile instrumentation, thoughtfully refined athmospheres and sometimes subtle tensions, mostly clean vocals and poetry about the first step away from suicide and stuff like that; well for those people I´d say it´s a must listen. Just amazing. ... well and i can´t limit myself to three, I´ll have to mention my 2 favourite Stoner Newcomers from 2021 too, which are Heavy Temple (quite psychedelic) and Wormsand (More the riffy kind of stoner with a kneck for grooves).
Where would you put the norwegian band Funeral? They went from Funeral Doom to something very unique that I can't label. Many classical and a-capella elements.
Love the presentation. Checkout Australian Doom greats Pod People. Hailing from Canberra. I was fortunate to see Eclectic Wizard, Pod People and Peeping Tom in 2005 QUT Bar, Brisbane. Awesome memories for life. Stay metal.
Electric Wizard, Eyehategod and Acid Bath are some of my favorite metal bands of all time so it was great to see them finally get some attention in this video!
can your next iceberg be about war metal like sunami, irate nyc, outa pocket, gulch, etc. i don’t know if these guys would be considered war metal but that’s just what i heard them categorized as
Hey man you've been a massive inspiration to me for a long while and finally I have a proper computer to make videos. Hope to continue the beautiful streak of musical icebergs! I actually blasted Sunn O in my car and at a red light someone next to me, some was blasting Wu Tang Clan. What an amazing combination of sounds I've never heard before. Edit (an hour after watching this): I decided to get very high and listen to the last album. My golly gee, was that a bit frightening. If you want to hear a female (and genuinely better) version of this sound, I do highly recommend Woods of Belial's Black Vampyrr. Edit (another one): If you guys think shrieks from groups like Wormphlegm are inhuman, then remember Roger Waters' inhuman shrieks on Careful with That Axe. It genuinely sounds like a similar technique with more reverb. (Not trying to downplay anything, just an observation)
As the matter of fact this was the first of your iceberg video when I know all the mentioned bands :) Just one thing I would like to mention :Kauan is not Finnish, despite the fact their lyrics are in Finnish they are Russians living in Estonia (neighbor of Finland)
Awesome video, very informative. Let's talk about gravediggaz record you got. Maybe a hard core hip hop ice berg video, because in hip hop gravediggaz were metal.
A band I'd like to add to this list is Monolithe. Their style has changed over the years, starting out as a unique take on funeral doom before progressing into a less heavy version of that. Their lyrics deal with concepts like outer space, creation, the origin of humanity, etc. Their first 4 LPs -Monolithe I, II, III and IV- all consist of 1 song each and are their heaviest and longest songs, ranging between 50 and 60 minutes each. Also, their most recent album, Kosmodrom, is about the Space Race from the perspective of the USSR.
omg Aleah :,) tbh the beauty and pure poetry trees of eternity has it wonderful. I was surprised that Hallatar was not mentioned directly after 😂 The album released from Aleah's partner along with some band members of swallow the sun and HIM put together is sort of like a memorial of her passing. the artwork for the album is very sad and beautiful.
Glaring omissions in their respective tiers, Monolord, High on Fire, Melvins, Fu Manchu and Crowbar. And I think I heard you mention Bell Witch in passing for Funeral Doom. They deserved more attention as they are at the cutting edge of that sub genre imo. Cheers.
Khanate - Things Viral? the most soulcrushing drone doom piece of art ever created? with Sunno's Stephen o Malley on guitars? i think this is a huge overlook sir.
If there is anyone here who got an interest with the last band Wyatt mentioned (Senthil), I HIGHLY recommend Nivathe. Another project of Plague (the vocalist of Senthil) that is even more intense and torturous.
If you’ve heard of them, what kind of doom metal tier would you put Draconian under? I’m not a big metal head but I love your videos and I love the culture around metal music and Draconian is my favorite band pretty much ever lol.
Wish Toadliquor would've made the list I once saw someone describe the vocals as being gagged with a bandana dipped in gasoline and still think thats the perfect description amazing band, great video regardless

Definitely they are my favorite Sludge metal band….
Kirk is the riff lord of Nola.
I agree with all of these statements. As well as your praises and encouragement to the channel creator. Just started watching these videos. Like the vibes in the comments as well.
Props for mentioning Blood Lust by Uncle Acid. Honestly one of the greatest albums ever. So freaking good.
Agreed. Instant classic as soon as it was released.

Great video!
Just gave me 20 albums Ive never heard of to listen to in the span of half an hour. That's like 20+ hours of good ass music for 30 minutes of my time. Incredible video man.

Right I notice he did not mention it. It's an amazing album. ' traveling alone', 'death is not an exit', 'alternate ending', 'kiss my ashes (goodbye)' and that opener track man what a great album. David Gold's lyricism and vocals are just incredible. What a tragic loss for the world of music...
Love this list,doom is what got me into metal and extreme metal with Cough, bell witch and mizmor are personal favorites, a band definitely doing their own thing I recommend Yob, probably favorite band of all time, love your vids Wyatt, you’re my favorite music based channel on UA-cam and always come here for some good music recommendations
Cough is one of my favorite bands rn! I cant stop listening to them lately good music taste
There is another great band called simply "Hell" and I would probably put them between "gritty doom" and "nightmare doom" on your chart, being not as extreme as the bands in the nightmare tier but definetly more extreme many of the bands in the gritty tier. They are very good and I would greatly reccomend them. Their self titled album ant the album simply titled "III" are very good IMO. Also good video as per usual :)
I think this is my favorite of your iceberg vids yet. I think i'd add Dystopia's Human = Garbage to Nightmare Doom.
That is sludge. Also I have it on cd if you want to buy it! 🤣
Everyone talks about Dystopia and Asunder but Eyes of Fire and the Gault were the best bands from that scene by far.
@@patrickbertlein4626 I've seen every description from crust to sludge to even people say it edges on black metal....none of which I disagree with, I just think it's actually more doom than anything else. Same with Acid Bath, who are on here.
Yooo Wyatt one thing you should do maybe in the future is put the titles of the songs and artist on the screen for a brief moment 👍🏼
My most played genre last year was Post-Doom Metal, honestly I had no idea what it was before the Spotify recap.
Thanks for these.. really. I had lost interest in finding new music before i found your channel. Now i have a record collection of 115 records. Went deep down the rabbit hole thanks to you and Metal trenches.
Post-Doom? Tell me more.
@@cavanray5327check out Sumac, that’s the pinnacle of what I image post-doom would be
probably the best music channel Ive come across yet
I’m so happy you put Senthil on this list it needs attention one of the most brutal and insane projects I’ve ever heard.
I slid up on ur story the other day and told you they were like my favorite band of all time lmfaoo.
Omg you did Wormphlegm too? Another awesome one.
Easily my two favorite bands from the video
Very insightful channel on metal music. Appreciate these vids. Keep it up 👍
Yeah for every band I think he missed or could have mentioned he had one that was new for me. That doesn't happen often at my age! Dude knows his stuff...but still no Nortt?!?! haha
My dude, your taste in music is excellent as always.
Thanks for Kauan - Sorni Nai, hidden gem.
Jusr discovered Sorni Nai. Such a great album!
thanks for showing me mizmor, they are so good its insane
I appreciate your choice of background music. I love Warning 🖤
I’m very happy to see 40 watt sun and warning in here.
this tierlist video was so fun to watch. ive seen all tierlist videos so far from you but for some reason this was one of the most entertaining to see maybe its because i have deep appreciation to the genre without being as much into it like i am with black and death metal. definitely checking the lower tiers. also was cool to realize some bands ive heard many times were doom its just a slap to my face about how ignorant ive been with genres of some music ive heard.
You’re becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Saw alot of my personal favourites on here and loads more to try, love these.
I miss these Bands in your list: Meth Drinker, Noothgrush, Khanate, KTL, and Burning Witch. Love your channel man. You make it really great 👍❤️
And stone titan
Khanate 🫡
Haha why would he know those? Hahahah
Noothgrush especially are top tier for me
Man I didn't see Ufomammut on here or psychedelic doom getting it's on genre on here. Ufomammut is Italian Psychedelic doom with riffs that just melt your bones with some of their grooves
Another criminally overlooked Italian stoner doom band is Black Capricorn. They're extremely high quality and it's a shame I never hear anyone talk about them.
Messa
Great Gravediggaz Vinyl over there! ;) ps. Im from Finland, nice to see someone giving love to finnish bands
Ophis would've been a good addition to Extreme Doom tier!
22:04 Seth actually only did one show with Upsidedown Cross when he was their guitar player (that show was at the Polish American Club in Southbridge, MA on April 20th, 2001). He joined in 1999 and the band broke up in 2003 (no recordings with him exist despite him being credited on the split 7" with Sloth they did). There was an attempt to get upsidedown cross back together with Josh Martin on guitar and John Gillis on drums but it failed due to cheez (bass player) not being in a state to play a musical instrument. Josh ended up starting the band "Adolf Satan" with Larry Lifeless (vocals), Seth Putnam (drums), and Nick Camilleri (bass) (Seth quit and moved to texas before they even did a demo and Nate Linehan became their drummer). UDC did get back together as a two piece in 2011 (larry on guitar and vocals with seth on drums) and did some shows but only rehearsal footage of that lineup currently exists.
Great video m8! One sludge doom band that fits well in the iceberg is Toadliquor. Their compilation album, The Hortator’s Lament, smacks hella good!
Une bonne liste et quelques découvertes à écouter 👍.
Bien sûr il reste tellement d'autres pépites.
Burning Witch would also fit very well within the ''Extreme Doom'' list, these guys have some really heavy good riffs. One of the members actually joined Goatsnake at one point too
I dont think Stephen O'Malley was ever in goatsnake. But he was in Khanate, Teeth of Lions.....and Sunn
remember it's jsut this guy's opinion
@@fuckcensorship69 Hmm yeah you might indeed be correct! Didn't knew he was in Sunn O))), the crossovers with band members in the sludge and doom scenes are always interesting to see
@@jackdaw3822 might be correct? Funny how resistant some folk are to a quick internet search
BW rules! Way better than Sunn but maybe that’s a silly comparison.
Thanks again dude. Been awhile since one of these icebergs came out from you and I definitely dig finding bands I haven't heard yet. 🤘
Heck yeah
Been wanting to see a doom metal related video here for a quite some time now. Doom metal and sludge pretty much became my favorite subgenres over the past few years.
Awesome music selection for the vid, love Patrick walker
That last tier was so hard to listen I said the exact same words you said.
Outstanding video and reccomendations as always.
Speaking of the band Trees of Eternity, Juha Raivio released another project named Hallatar in 2017 as a tribute to Aleah's memory.
Listening to those records knowing the tragic backstory and paying attention to the lyrics was difficult for me. You really need to have a specific mindset to listen to those two albums in one session... I even was very surprised by the vocal delivery by Amorphis' Tomi Joutsen. It contains some of the harshest vocals he's ever done and Aleah's voice is on the final track... so many emotions in one night.
@Corey Maxwell
Last tier:
Gnaw
Sewer Goddess
Black Bile
Senthil
I can't believe you left Nortt out of Funeral Doom. He has been around since the early 2000's Mizmor is the side project of the Drummer/vocalist of Hell, from Salem, OR, and they have a similar sound to Mizmor and The Body, but I'm a huge fan of Hell. Another band worth checking out is Slow, from Belgium. The Russian doom label, Solitude Productions has had some great doom bands from all across the board. I got into Amederia, Comatose Vigil, Calliophis, and Ornamentos del Meido, thanks to their 24 hour radio.
Was also thinking of Nortt. Great party music.
Hellyeah! Definitely some projects here that are new to me that I'm checking out (i.e. Black Bile from Cyprus).
Ahab's "The Call of the Wretched Sea", Bvried at Sea's "Migration", Agalloch's (I consider them Blackened Folk Doom) "The Mantle" and "Ashes Against the Grain", and Bell Witch's "Mirror Reaper" are utter masterpieces and my favorite albums overall in the entire Doom genre.
Morbid Evils, Conan, Amenra, Indian, Spectral Voice, None, Hooded Menace, Mournful Congregation, and Warning are all personal favorite bands I dig too-- Primitive Man's music rips too, but their political statements can be really cringe and kind of ruin some of the preference in wanting to listen to them. I and my buddy Foster of Bukavac also have a Funeral/ Psychedelic Lovecraftian Doom Metal project called Pythonissam.
could you elaborate on primitive man and politics?
@@Artunen Just scroll through their Twatter and see what they're about.
Ahab is alright as an intro to funeral doom, I recommend checking out Arataxie tho
@@ThatOneGuy7550 Arataxie is good too!
@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary skimmed through 6months of Twitter, didn't see anything political tbh
Great job on the "Iceberg". I`m sure your getting a lot of "what about`s", but I think The Melvins deserved a mention in there - probably "sludge doom". So influential
A lot of suggestions, thank you for putting the time!
really cool list! I have to mention Barathrum for Black/Doom.
I recommend khanate for the last tier
Khanate is fucking terrifying
Sumac could fit in the last tier too, just because of how out there and moving the music is.
Yoo sweet Paracletus pfp, love that album and Deathspell Omega as a whole
I'm kinda sad cause Draconian didn't get a mention :(
But anyways, nice video as always. Thanks for letting me know about Warning. Just checked them out and love it :D
lorna shore isn’t metal
Have you considered doing a video on the 'n'Roll' subgenres (e.g. Death n Roll, Black n Roll)?
2 bands for Death Doom that I felt prudent to mention are Dream Death’s Journey into Mystery (1987), and perhaps a highly contentious one, Celtic Frost’s first 2 albums (Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion), and By extension, Hellhammers Apocalyptic Raids EP.
Both I believe were more associated with thrash, and for Celtic Frost, black metal. But musically, while certainly having thrash elements and influencing Black Metal (for CF), I always felt that they had less in common with bands from those genres; and it clicked for me to associate them with Death Doom, especially if you compare them to Early Paradise Lost and Winter. Both bands were the first in the genre to incorporate Elements of Doom, Slower tempos, and heavy rhythms à la Black Sabbath. If nothing else, I can at least say that HellHammer’s Triumph of Death is one of, if not the first example of Death Doom.
I also want to say that, while not necessarily a doom metal band themselves, Darkthrone were one of the Earlier Black Metal Bands that incorporated a lot of Doom metal in their music, especially in Under a Funeral Moon and Panzerfaust. And I’d say a lot of that had to do with Celtic Frost’s style and influence.
Dream Death! Bad ass old school!
Where does The Sword fall for ya?
Gonna check out more of your vids, got a lot of good funeral reqs
Dude your videos are the best.
Thanks I’m truly flattered but they aren’t
Made a handful of mistakes such as calling Kauan a Finnish band when they’re from Russia (their lyrics are Finnish) and saying Skepticism debut is Ravencrowfleet when it’s Stormcrowfleet
Ahab hasn't been Funeral Doom in a long time IMHO ("The Divinity Of Oceans" was the last true case of this in their discography) and they have since become their own beast I call Post-Doom, having added Progressive, Psychedelic, Death, Stoner and Jazz tendencies to their instrumental palette. Daniel has also added more optimistic inflections to his clean vocal melodies.
I immediately clicked when I saw the album cover for when the kite string pops
Sometimes you just gotta sit down and listen to Bell Witch for hours.
So, a song or two?
great video so far. big miss on graves at sea in the gritty doom (sludge) section. their demo is one of the best sludge records ever released.
Haven't heard of most of the bands here so thanks for the new music dude ❤
Great video!! Just let me recommend a couple of spanish bands that would fit perfectly in some of the tiers, one being Barbarian Swords from Barcelona, a perfect blend of black metal and the most agonic doom you're gonna hear out there. The other band would be Orthodox, from Seville, especially with their first album, "Gran Poder"; crushingly slow doom metal. Check out "Geryon's Throne" half an hour of agonic drone doom.
Fuoco Fatuo is noteworthy funeral doom band to mentioned too because not like other funeral doom bands, they sound so angry, dark, and nihilistic. Every time I listen to their latest album I felt like just staring to the gate of hell.
YESSSSS LOVE FUOCO FATUO
Some omissions aside, this a very good general, overall spread of the whole doom genre and its different veins.
Bands that I personally would've expected to see in their respective tiers (but of course as you said from the very beginning, you couldn't fit every single doom band in this video): The Body, Toadliquor, Bottom Feeder, Meth Drinker, [Asunder, Dispirit and The Gault, three of the bands where John Gossard from Weakling played in], and Funeral (the band that gave Funeral Doom its name in the first place), Un, Usnea (these two I saw years ago, a really killer show) and Lycus.
Fun fact, Boris, as you mentioned in the video, don't stick to a single genre, they just play whatever they like with each new album. They composed the instrumental piece for an idol group called Saka Sama, you can find them credited in the video's description. ua-cam.com/video/Tls8dZ_NjdQ/v-deo.html
Thanks Wyatt for a well researched, imformative burger on Doom. Plenty of bands I will checkout . Suprised you didnt include Portal somewhere. They do some scary doomy damn fine. You made me laugh on that last portion of your iceberg . Agonising, noisedisturbing not natural tormented miserableunsettling and unwelcoming. !! Im going to have to be in the mood to check out that teir but im sure that day will come. Funny as but
You asked for it!
So some additions of unmentioned bands to this wonderful Video. Thank You.
I´ll limit it to tree:
Most obvious; I´d even categorize them into the Top Tier: "Solitude Aeturnus", early band, having played their Epic Doom Style for all of the nineties through and into the 2000s, having released a flawless discography of 6 full lengths, to me being the best their second one "Beyond the crimson Horizon"
"Conan" I will mention too, though they are hard to categorize, maybe the Stoner section, though i don´t find it really befitting. To me they always sound like Fudge Tunnel would have decided to play Doom Metal now. An absolutely fabulously refined guitar tone, that makes anyone forget, that the riffs played might be heard earlier, but never like that. Sometimes it´s not what You do, it´s how You do it, and in this regard Conan are Masters.
Then, because right now, I´m head over heals in love with them, i have to mention "Thy listless heart". Definitely emotive Doom Category. Just one Album yet, just released last year. But for anyone who doesn´t need walls of sound at any time, but who can do with classy bits of versatile instrumentation, thoughtfully refined athmospheres and sometimes subtle tensions, mostly clean vocals and poetry about the first step away from suicide and stuff like that; well for those people I´d say it´s a must listen. Just amazing.
... well and i can´t limit myself to three, I´ll have to mention my 2 favourite Stoner Newcomers from 2021 too, which are Heavy Temple (quite psychedelic) and Wormsand (More the riffy kind of stoner with a kneck for grooves).
Small correction 10:55 KAUAN is actually a russian/ukrainian band that uses finnish in their lyrics. Otherwise, great job as always 🤘
Would love to see a sludge metal iceberg
Where would you put the norwegian band Funeral? They went from Funeral Doom to something very unique that I can't label. Many classical and a-capella elements.
Love the presentation. Checkout Australian Doom greats Pod People. Hailing from Canberra. I was fortunate to see Eclectic Wizard, Pod People and Peeping Tom in 2005 QUT Bar, Brisbane. Awesome memories for life. Stay metal.
Electric Wizard, Eyehategod and Acid Bath are some of my favorite metal bands of all time so it was great to see them finally get some attention in this video!
What’s your opinion on Woods of Ypres?
I’d personally put them in tier 3, but I’d love to hear your opinion.
can your next iceberg be about war metal like sunami, irate nyc, outa pocket, gulch, etc. i don’t know if these guys would be considered war metal but that’s just what i heard them categorized as
Hey man you've been a massive inspiration to me for a long while and finally I have a proper computer to make videos. Hope to continue the beautiful streak of musical icebergs!
I actually blasted Sunn O in my car and at a red light someone next to me, some was blasting Wu Tang Clan. What an amazing combination of sounds I've never heard before.
Edit (an hour after watching this): I decided to get very high and listen to the last album. My golly gee, was that a bit frightening. If you want to hear a female (and genuinely better) version of this sound, I do highly recommend Woods of Belial's Black Vampyrr.
Edit (another one): If you guys think shrieks from groups like Wormphlegm are inhuman, then remember Roger Waters' inhuman shrieks on Careful with That Axe. It genuinely sounds like a similar technique with more reverb. (Not trying to downplay anything, just an observation)
THANK YOU for informing the mortals of IRON MONKEY the original lineup
Damad is another sick one!
As the matter of fact this was the first of your iceberg video when I know all the mentioned bands :) Just one thing I would like to mention :Kauan is not Finnish, despite the fact their lyrics are in Finnish they are Russians living in Estonia (neighbor of Finland)
"nightmare doom" is an incredibly cool name, i hope that catches on lol
Awesome video, very informative. Let's talk about gravediggaz record you got. Maybe a hard core hip hop ice berg video, because in hip hop gravediggaz were metal.
Excellent list, like others say I think Melvins have to be mentioned (if only for Colossus of Density), as well as Crowbar, and maybe Grief too. 🖤
Great picks, also didnt know some of these and will check them out 👍
what about disembowelment? in my opinion transcendence into peripheral is one of the best albums of all time.
One of my favorites as well. Good taste!
A band I'd like to add to this list is Monolithe. Their style has changed over the years, starting out as a unique take on funeral doom before progressing into a less heavy version of that. Their lyrics deal with concepts like outer space, creation, the origin of humanity, etc. Their first 4 LPs -Monolithe I, II, III and IV- all consist of 1 song each and are their heaviest and longest songs, ranging between 50 and 60 minutes each. Also, their most recent album, Kosmodrom, is about the Space Race from the perspective of the USSR.
Shout out to the Gravediggaz Vinyl in the back doing the lonely job of representing!
This episode is what has convinced me to do a AMP stream that’s nothing but doom metal.
omg Aleah :,) tbh the beauty and pure poetry trees of eternity has it wonderful. I was surprised that Hallatar was not mentioned directly after 😂 The album released from Aleah's partner along with some band members of swallow the sun and HIM put together is sort of like a memorial of her passing. the artwork for the album is very sad and beautiful.
Glaring omissions in their respective tiers, Monolord, High on Fire, Melvins, Fu Manchu and Crowbar. And I think I heard you mention Bell Witch in passing for Funeral Doom. They deserved more attention as they are at the cutting edge of that sub genre imo. Cheers.
Do you have a Spotify playlist for this vid? Sorry if you said so in the vid, wanted to ask before I forgot 😅
Khanate - Things Viral? the most soulcrushing drone doom piece of art ever created? with Sunno's Stephen o Malley on guitars? i think this is a huge overlook sir.
Really wish you included Monolord with the stoner doom tier, I think they’re a pretty sweet band in that style.
So make your own video and include Monolord
OVERJOYED WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIF !!!! tysm because i decided like a week ago to start listening to more doom metal. very on time lol
If there is anyone here who got an interest with the last band Wyatt mentioned (Senthil), I HIGHLY recommend Nivathe. Another project of Plague (the vocalist of Senthil) that is even more intense and torturous.
If you’ve heard of them, what kind of doom metal tier would you put Draconian under? I’m not a big metal head but I love your videos and I love the culture around metal music and Draconian is my favorite band pretty much ever lol.
After seeing Mizmor live I can definitely say they are one of my most favorite bands in recent times. Only an Expanse is an absolute gem of a song
Ayo, I don’t agree with every individual take here but this is a stellar video that deserves my like
Wish Toadliquor would've made the list I once saw someone describe the vocals as being gagged with a bandana dipped in gasoline and still think thats the perfect description amazing band, great video regardless
