Which is your favourite band mixing Black and Doom Metal???

Katatonia: Never been among my favourite bands, but I recognize their quality and influence... I still find a few songs like "Gateways Of Bereavement" or "Brave", and they surely knew how to create extremely painful, dark atmospheres.

Worship: Funeral Doom/Black as its best... the "Last CD Before Doomsday" had became a classic among classics, being very depressive, harsh and underdeveloped.

Dolorian: I only gor into them with their last album "Voidwards", which is freakin' amazing, like a dreamful passage to a inner state of mind. Bewitching music.

Bethlehem: Very fucked-off band, with sick vocals and a chainsaw-like atmosphere... "Dictius Te Necare" is a wonderful album.

Forgotten Tomb: Just like Katatonia, this band needs no introduction... I am re-discovering them by now, as I used to like them a lot but them left them behind for such a while... Now Playing: "Songs To Leave".

Deinonychus: More Doom than anything, but their earlier releases keep still an amazing blackened ambience. "The Silence Of December" is wonderful album, although one get's tired of the vocals after a while (just like happens with Bethlehem, band that shares vocalist with Deinonychus).

Forgotten Woods: A buried, undiscovered Nowegian jewel. Very raw and painful, I hadn't listened to them a lot but enough to realize that they deserve to be in this poll...

My personal vote goes for Worship, a band that had written the soundtrack for very important times of my life, and which I enjoy a lot every time.

Sometimes its hard to tell a border between funeral doom and black doom


If you're talking about Nortt, then he is, clearly and without a shred of doubt, funeral doom, despite his black metal influences and imagery. Worship even more so.

Well, Forgotten Tomb is pretty clear, only the first demo is black metal, everything else is doom. But I agree, there are some questionable bands like Forgotten Woods etc.

Misery's Omen review

Not the purest of Black/Doom, rather very vile and doomy Black Metal. But still fucking ace.

Out of these choices, definitely old Katatonia. Dance of December Souls is a bone-chilling record.
