cool

I still haven't listened to the new Bell Witch album, but I've heard great things about it

83+ minute song

funeral doom

holy shmoly

I've wanted some good funeral doom. Always had a hard time finding it.

what've you heard?

here it is by the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10q1ZJyLXFk

album cover of the year

Pall Bearer is about it.

Yeah that looks fucking rad.

Pallbearer's not funeral doom

then what are they?

just doom

The only album I listened to was Sorrow and Extinction

Definitely seemed like funeral doom

funeral doom is way slower, usually much drearier, and usually has guttural vocals

They have that diminished sound though, I think that's what got me

idk

this is pretty rad

takes a while to get going but yeah

two of my favorite funeral doom tracks: the first song on this (it's not uploaded separately) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8r_-Gh5pw

kinda reminds me of Ahab, the voice

22 minutes long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqdESsYWS9c

yeah Ahab is funeral doom, at least they used to be (haven't heard them in a long time so I don't know if they still are)

WHALE AHEAD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCGNI6uPZls

that Esoteric song is easily one of my favorites

more melodic than the others, guitars weaving all over the place

right on man you've given me some good shit to keep me busy for a minute, it's been a while since I've been shown some good doom

you know Elder?

yeah Lore was one of the better albums of 2015

haven't heard Reflections yet

I'm not a huge fan of stoner in general though

so, if you like Esoteric/Asunder, some other bands to check out:
Evoken
Thergothon
Winter
Disembowelment
Unholy
Tyranny
Mournful Congregation
Skepticism
Ataraxie
Monolithe
Catacombs

and I would have added Ahab but you know them already

Shape of Despair are great too but a little cheesy sometimes

the first Pantheist album too

I got to see them live before they started making shitty albums
