    Strangely, Funeral Doom, the more miserable and bleak it is, the more I enjoy it. It's all about the atmosphere and the gloom that makes me feel a dark inner joy. I'd like to recommend Profetus, Slow, Clouds, Ea, Eye of Solitude, Grimirg, Bosque. There are a lot of great and beautiful Funeral Doom bands but there is also, as in most genres, some total rubbish too. I have to agree though, Ahab are certainly up there in my top three.

    Funeral Doom is one of my favorite genres. I simply love the dreariness and sadness in the sound and in the lyrics. My holy trinity is DSBM, Funeral Doom and Dark Ambient. In my opinion the quintessential FD album is Funeral Mourning's Drown In Solitude.

    • @Questformetal
      @Questformetal  4 года назад +4

      DSBM would be in mine as well though I think death doom would be third but I agree love the dreariness and the atmosphere

      Dark Ambient is one the most diverse genres, it takes many different forms, definitely my most favorite.

    When I think of funeral doom, I picture myself in a dark, cold, foggy graveyard in autumn or winter. There are the ruins of an old stone church. Dark, ghostly figures are drifting through the graveyard in a funeral procession, or gathering in a circle to perform a ritual.

  • @kryptik2504
    @kryptik2504 4 года назад +8

    Esoteric are by far my favorite because how dark, trippy and unique their music is. It's the brutally authentic, depressive style combined with dark ambient and psychedelic elements that make their music so dark, rich and deep. Their unique melodies are also just mind blowing. Tracks like circle, quickening, silence, creation through destruction and the secret of the secret are out of this world. The ending of silence is the most epic ending ever. Nothing really makes me feel music so deeply like these guys do.
    Evoken would be my second favorite. Love the dark and heavy feeling. Other less known bands worth mentioning are:
    The funeral orchestra
    Blood of the black owl
    Torture wheel
    Hjarnidaudi
    Worship
    Daylight dies and Process of guilt (not funeral but still doom and very similar)

    • @UnworthyUnbeliever

Never been a huge fan of the genre but the way you described it I guess put me in the right mindset to actually understand it. Thanks for that! Keep it up man this channel is gonna blow the fuck up soon

    • @Questformetal

    Now you talked my language. Funeral Doom is my favorite subgenre alongside Black Metal.
    I could fatten the list with: Shape of Despair (my favorite of the genre!), Comatose Vigil (from Russia), Evoken (you mentioned them actually, but I wanted to reinforce the idea), Bell Witch, Uaral (from Chile), Catacombs, Tyranny (this is gold!), Ea, Colosseum... the list can go on and on.

    • @rohitchaoji
      @rohitchaoji 3 года назад

      Would you really call Uaral funeral doom, though? They do have the super miserable atmosphere, but they hang mostly in the dark folk side of things. But I agree with the rest. Thanks for reminding me of Tyranny. It has been years since I heard Bleak Vistae.

  • @zanjose9806
    @zanjose9806 4 года назад +6

    great video, you are pretty well articulated.
    just a heads up, its pronounced THER.GO.THON, since it took me off the way you said it in theragothorn.
    Good pics, disagree a bit with Skepticism since it was in no doubt influential but it doesnt hold up to modern releases.
    Also not too sure if its the best thing to start with Thergothon as they are more of the founders and show the roots of the funeral doom we see nowadays, rather than a complete package that someone can listen to and see all that the genre has to offer.
    Shout out for mentioning Drown in the end. Probably my AOTY. You should check out Profetus as it is organ heavy funeral doom.
    Another thing to mention is that Mournful Congregation is one of the few that is able to implement acoustic guitars into their somber music, alongside having the ossibly best vocalization and lyrics throughout their discography, both rhythmically and content-wise.
    Great vid, earned a sub. Good luck to all your future endeavors.

  • @davesiddons8921
    @davesiddons8921 2 года назад +4

    Cool video, I got into funeral doom in a strange way, I was and still am into old school thrash/death metal and played in a band for 8 years roughly; touring a lot and heard 100000000 different bands and none of them any good. Anyway left the band and was disillusioned with death metal so tried something different like doom, so tried candlemass and really liked it, eventually going down the wormhole that is funeral doom
    The experience of seeing these bands live is something else, I saw esoteric in a sub 100 person capacity venue in derby and it was life changing

    I gravitate to Death/Doom more than Funeral Doom but Funeral is my absolute favorite with how beautifully the female vocals pair with the bleakness of the atmosphere. Goddamn "Heartache" from their Beyond All Sunsets demo is one of my favorite songs from them. I love all the female vocalists from the band's early days, anything from "In Fields of Pestilent Grief" is hauntingly beautiful.
    I directed a one-act rendition of Poe's Masque of the Red Death back in college and I used Bell Witch "Beneath the Mask" as the main theme of the play. Love those guys. I'm gonna check if you have anything to say about the Death/Doom Genre, I have a lot to say about Disembowelment and Thorr's Hammer. 😄

    Ey finally a solid video on funeral doom in general! Wish this got more coverage
    There were alot of "proto" funeral doom bands from the early 90's I wish were mentioned, some were around the same time as Fhtagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth, feel free to check these out
    Вой - Кругами вечности (really boring and substanceless imo, but good example of the style being used early on)
    Mordor - Odes, Droney black metal influenced stuff, repetitive with fat synth bass. Very interesting listen and definitely one of the earliest examples of a funeral doom aesthetic and atmosphere
    Ysigim - Ain Soph Or, not as influential but one of my favorites and the most unique of the early proto-funeral doom bands
    Faltomy - Forteiture, Very solid release from 1992, also a great example of funeral doom early on.
    Unburied - Veil of Damnation, Probably the most "death metal" leaning of all the bands. Very good! reminds me alot of diSEMBOWLMENT.

    Great great video. The Maniacal is also my favorite FD album… It’s also a bit… psychedelic imo… Not only mourning but also really claustrophobic. I think Esoteric is the most adventerous one of the mentioned. You know Greg Chandler (singer) other band Lynchgate? Highly recommanded!

  • @rigeldoom9068

    12:30 I don't speak English but... para 1991, se grababa también en la ya moribunda URSS, en Moscú, el álbum Кругами Вечности de la banda Вой, un álbum aunque no fue conocido en su época (y hoy muchos aun lo desconozcan) ya muestra el espesor del Doom Metal ruso, en especial del Funeral Doom, este álbum hoy por hoy no se puede ignorar como de los pioneros de lo que fue y desde entonces ha sido este subgénero del Doom Metal.

    It’s a band that published 3 albums in the 2000s before disbanding in 2010. Three masterpieces that blend Classical/Film Soundtracks, Ambient and Funeral Doom.

    A good general list here for sure. Some may argue against me on this though but I'll say it anyways: why not mention Daylight Dies? Sure the tempo may be just a hair on the faster side of funeral doom for it to really be considered funeral doom, but Dismantling Devotion was probably the album that got me into funeral doom so I kinda still appreciate it. Plus it's just a damn good album tbh

    Don’t believe it. You talked about Funeral but didn’t talk about the Norwegian Funeral Doom Band called Fallen. Anders Eek from Funeral was also a member of Fallen. And I think Fallen’s album A Tragedy’s Bitter End is one of the greatest Funeral Doom albums of all time. Even though it has a traditional doom feel about it, with the way it’s been produced and mixed. With clean vocals that can be heard. It still has an atmosphere that’s still heavy. Still just as powerful as all the bands and albums You mentioned here in this post. And the vocalist, Wow, so rich, so deep and dare I say, way deeper than Peter Steele of Type O Negative. But I’m glad You did have Esoteric on Your list and mentioned their album The Maniacal Vale. As I bloody love that album. As well as the fantastic music, it has an absolutely beautiful album cover as well........... ⚛️☮️🌏
