I have barely heard anything from this genre. Can I get some recommendations on good albums/bands to start with? |

|
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

Early Anathema (pre-Eternity) is great, so is any of Amorphis' early stuff (pre-Tuonela)

There is a huge breadth of subgenres within this; although they do have differences they generally aren't so important. Loosely speaking:
funeral doom is very, very heavy and slow with screaming vocals drone doom (or ambient) is not so heavy, often ambient and usually without vocals (often without drums) doomdeath and blackened doom are doom mixed with either death or doom metal - doomdeath probably contains the most well known bands with early Anathema, My Dying Bride and (I can't remember the name of the other big one!  ). They tend towards a bit of a cheesy gothic feel sometimes which can be a little offputting. traditional doom basically sounds like Sabbath, Trouble etc. Armed with that information, have a look at www.doom-metal.com  Edited by goose |

This is my list of beloved Doometal artists there's a mix here of classic doom, doomdeath and funeral doom): Candlemass Carpathian Full Moon Confessor Daylight Dies Draconian Swallow The Sun Electric Wizard Esoteric Grief Interitus Dei Khanate Left Hand Solution Mar De Grises The Obsessed (another one with the great Scott Wino) Pentagram Place Of Skulls Runemagick St. Vitus Shape Of Despair Sheavy (vintage doom stoner rock) Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy (excellent!) Sleep Solitude Aeturnus (first two albums are essential, after that it gets mediocre) Solstice (New Dark Age is very good) Spirit Caravan (another Wino band) Thergothon (funeral doom) Virgin Black (amazing, great. not your avarage doom, there is so much more there. must have!)
There are so much more. Try some Doom specialized sites (search in google "doom metal" and also go to http://www.bnrmetal.com and there you can see bands by genre.

Now that I think of it Virgin Black is an optional band to be added here. What do you think?

essential doom metal bands IMO Black Sabbath Trouble Candlemass Solitude Aeturnus (disagree with avestin, their latest albums are better) Cathedral (not on all albums doom) My Dying Bride IMO you will get covered with these bands in defining doom metal |

I agree with this list (besides the particular Solitude albums but that is not really important). But if essential is the main point here, then lets add My dying Bride, Paradise Lost (until Icon) and Anathema. |

My dying Bride are already in there Paradise Lost are considered more of gothic metal, but if you consider them doom I agree Anathema's first ones are good, but not essential IMO |
