Through posting here sporadically, I find myself becoming more and more exposed to the fringes of what I thought I'd like, musically-wise. Normally I'm all about the speed - thrash metal, death metal, black metal, and of course lol speed metal, just check my uploads to other metal communities.
However, doom metal is also under the umbrella of the greater extreme metal subgenre and while I always looked at it from afar, occasionally snippets of stuff would osmose their way into my consciousness. I became a fan of sludge metal (though I did not know what it as called at the time) through High on Fire back in the 00's, playing their faster songs in playlists with my other deathrasher stuff.
But more recently, music from Candlemass and Elder, and even some Tom G. Warrior bands made it's way into my daily recommendations and actually got me to try them, so here we are today with more traditional doom metal, with the slow and heavy Iommic riffage, as stated on the about section of this awesome community that's been abandoned by our mod.
