One of my favorite kinds of music too. Let's talk about this great sub-genre. I know more about doom death/black and funeral doom metal. But I wait for your replies to learn more.

Katatonia is one of my favorite bands as you can see to my profile.I don't have Demons but I have heard some tracks and it's awesome.My favorite is Throwing your life away.

I tend to mainly trend towards doom/death (Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride), but I do enjoy a lot of doom metal. I'm open for suggestions - I've never looked into the genre nearly as much as I would like to.

Yes Cathedral, Katatonia, October Tide, Tiamat and all that jazz is all good, but I'm a proud follower of the cult following of drone doom metal like Earth, Sunn O))), and Boris.

A fan of traditional doom. Candle Mass, Trouble, Electric Wizard, Solitude Aeturnus, Pagan Altar, Warning and Witchcraft. Celtic Frost and Pentagram for some reason don't do anything for me.
I've noticed stoner/doom Witchcraft from Sweden isn't present here at MMA. Not heavy enough? Maybe hard rock.

Stoner doom is also pretty nice!

For those who likes Funeral Doom, I recommend the french band Monolithe!

Not a huge fan of the genre but I am a huge fan of a few doom metal bands.
Namely Candlemass, whose first 4 are essential albums for the fans imo, especially Epicus, Doomicus, Metallicus and Nightfall. I'm a fan of Chapter VI as well, great power/doom and of the comeback stuff.
Secondly, Solitude Aeturnus. A Texas based band, it features one of my favourite voices in metal ever, Robert Lowe (who now fronts Candlemass as well). Their entire discography is GODLY. A bit of caution is needed with Downfall, which finds them a bit experimental but still heavy as fuck. First three are considered their most classics, I would also add Adagio to the list (which also contains a stellar edition of Sabbath's Heaven and Hell).
Memento Mori, Cathedral, Memory Garden, Trouble are all A-OK in my book as well (esp. the first two).

They play a really cool and varied mix of doom metal and traditional heavy metal on those first three albums that greatly appeals to me. "Manic Frustration" is still my favorite though (first loves and all):
I love the way the band incorporated Beatlesque psychadelia into their sound from the early nineties onwards.

What's clear to me now is that Dopethrone is Electric Wizard's only album worth owning. The two before it were a Cathedral clone for the first album and an attempt to do a dry run for Dopethrone in the second album, and all the ones after seem to be trying (unsuccessfully) to live up to it.

Monolithe with their albums Monolithe I and II. If you have 102 minutes to spare.
I've already reviewed the first and have the second on CD. The first one is the superior one in my eyes and I'll get a proper review of the second one up eventually.

Anyone... you have to check out the new Pale Divine album... it may not be completely traditional Doom in some ways, but as as encompassing Doom album - it is one of my favorites for 2012 right now. Melodic, heavy as lead and has breathed life into their career.

Witch Mountain.... cool. Just writing the review for them, gotta say that I love them. Perfect blending of Blues, Doom and a wee bit of twisted 70's Stoner stuff mashed in.
I have been re listening to a older band called Izah... a Doom based band from the cold climbs of the Netherlands with some hardcore and death thrown into the mix to make for a nasty release This band may not be everyone's cup of tea... but for this old doomer - damn this was a very impressive and intriguing CD.
I reviewed this self titled EP in '10 for Metalbite... and I gave it a rating of 9.2 out of 10, as I was blown away by a band that was barbarically heavy and yet has such a way with the lyrics as well. As of today, I think I have low balled it a touch. Would give this album from Izah today a 9.7. It is as brilliant as it is hugely heavy.

Have I got a band for you.... The Prophecy.
This UK band pulls no punches, giving you five amazing tracks of doom that is tinged with smatterings of Death metal attack. After Into the light... this is the perfect follow up.
Somber, introspective while being heavy, this band oozes with talent that is only matched by the darkness woven lyrics that takes you on a trip into a the darker sides of Christian beliefs - and yet there is more to offer than this. The album title 'Salvation' lures you in, and shows that perhaps you'd might never be saved- or maybe you can. The lyrics do explore that... and more
I found myself listening to the album over and over again, and finding more and more of it that I liked in the process - and that is no small feat. Cant really get much better... Candlemass are the gods in this genre, but I think The Prophecy is one of the bands that just might challenge the slow motion kings from Sweden..

Hungarian Doom Masters Wall of Sleep is the band that Black Sabbath would be if they came out nowadays... and yet they are their own bestial invention with all the hallmarks of pure originality - mixing low and powerful Traditional Doom Metal chugging with shadings of classic NWOBHM sounds.
Slow and very introspective in every way, the band shows intelligence that is refreshing as well as perfect in the framework of the music. Even though the album, When Mountain Roar, was released back in 2011 - this one is a must have at all cost for any Doom Fan.
Wall of Sleep will excite you... and not put you to 'sleep'.

The band's first two albums are amazing crushing thrash, but then made one of my all time favorite doom metal albums with this one. You can still tell the band's origins though, as there is the occasional thrash riff. Sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mcDT-0LbVA" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mcDT-0LbVA (Father Time)
These guys are more stoner than doom, but I think you would really like them as they're a bit like early Blood Ceremony in some ways. Sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R3-KAyuQ00" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R3-KAyuQ00 (A Watching of Wolves)
I could recommend tons more, but these are the two favorites of mine that first came to mind.

Here's a few bands to check out..
Trouble - many good ones but could try most recent one The Distortion Field
Witch Mountain for some bluesy doom.
Sorceror - In The Shadow Of The Inverted Cross
Cathedral - The Ethereal Mirror (stoner/doom)
Saint Vitus - Die Healing
With The Dead - only have one album with a second on the way
Solitude Aeturnus - Downfall

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've started checking them out this morning.
Couldn't find the Sacrilege album on Spotify so I'll try looking elsewhere later.
Witch Charmer didn't grab me after one track for some reason, so I moved onto Trouble. I listened to The Distortion Field first, which to be honest sounds more like a stoner metal album to me. I enjoyed it to a point but it didn't grab me too much. I've now moved onto their debut Psalm 9, which I'm enjoying a lot more.

For funeral doom I would DEFINITELY say Esoteric! Some other ones would
be Monolithe and Ahab. I haven't listened to too much funeral doom
myself. Need to fix that.
Esoteric is essential listening, and I'd also add Skepticism's Stormcrowfleet to that list.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've started checking them out this morning.
Couldn't find the Sacrilege album on Spotify so I'll try looking elsewhere later.
The full album is on Youtube here:

Although they are primarily a death metal band Asphyx incorporate doom into their music and well worth checking out if you haven't already.

I checked out an Evoken album last night. Atra Mors. I really liked that one. Seemed like the doom metal answer to atmospheric black metal.

Also enjoyed this one which I got cheap off of ebay. Recommend it. The style is fairly atmospheric but non-funeral death-doom. I actually had one of their other albums as a promo a while back but overlooked it which based on this one was probably a mistake.

Nearing the end of this one:
This was a bit different to the other funeral doom I've tried so far because the vocals are female rather than growled and it has dark folk influences, no doubt due to the presence of Vàli on guitar, whose album Forlatt is highly regarded in the dark folk genre.

I listened to this today but came away wondering what all the fuss over it is about. I know it's very highly regarded, but it came over as a very boring release to me after enjoying Evoken, Esoteric and Skumring from the funeral doom genre. Maybe it's supposed to be a slow burner but it really hasn't left me with any desire to listen to it again.

Yes, I have that album and it's a good one. I can normally only take funeral doom in small doses. I've never got round to checking out the rest of their stuff.
Ahab are probably my favourite funeral doom band.

Listened to Esoteric's The Maniacal Vale. Mammoth release so it didn't completely click instantly but I will be checking that band out more.
Esoteric have never clicked with me either. I feel like I should give them another go considering how highly regarded they are.

Very good first impressions here, moreso than any other Paradise Lost album I've heard so far even:

^ I was pretty impressed too. Too early to tell if I like it as much as The Plague Within which was also very good.

I still need to hear that one, most of their discography actually. I've had One Second and In Requiem for a while now, having found them in a second hand shop and I got Draconian Times and the Reflection compilation in that big job lot of CDs I bought recently. Don't know their other work yet.
