Heavy and Rock!

[DrinaCorps]

I'm liking what I'm seeing here! I've listened to black, death, and doom metal for years. Lately though, it's all stoner/doom stuff. Church of Misery, Sleep. Bongzilla, High on Fire, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Pentagram etc.

 

CoM is some excellent Japanese doom.

Couldn't get by without Agalloch

 

Excellent two-man Polish black metal

Awesome band! I love the post-rock/shoegazing sound that a few bands have adopted, especially Alcest who are one my favourite bands these days.

Altar of Plagues are pretty good but their latest album was more than a little disappointing imo.

ColdWorld are/were really good too altho' their sound is a little bit harsher.

I've had a focus on the French bm scene and everything that followed since the mid-late 90's, Mutiilation, Vlad Tepes, Mortifera, Celestia, Ad Hominem etc. Alcest and Amesoeurs were some of the best music to materialize out of that clique.

 

I have yet to discover a band that can stand alongside Agalloch for atmosphere. Drudkh and Ulver have come close.

Yeah, definitely! France has certainly produced some of the best metal bands.

 

It doesn't get any better than Anorexia Nervosa's "Redemption Process" album as far as I'm concerned

As for more atmospheric metal, I got around to hearing Eye of Solitude's "Sui Caedere" album yesterday. It's pretty good-
