[whodunit?]

Sabbath are doom!? lol, wut?

[theis]

I would classify the first Sabbath album as doom.

[whodunit?]

I would classify the first Sabbath album as doom.

yes, but not the others.

I read some pages and they say DOOM, but I never considered them as doom. I think when doom was invented than they added them such label.

[oldgentlovecraft]

They really are not doom but if you listen to bands that are classified as traditional or even some of the stoner doom bands you can hear where the Sabbath influence is.   The slower, atmospheric songs and some downtuning are apparent in the first few albums and that is where the genre took its sound from.  Not doom but definitely one of the greatest influences on doom.

[Zevaka]

Yup, that one.  More traditional doom than I'm used to but it is amazing!

New Down album this year. Can't wait.

[Nebontha]

I would say that Sabbath could be considered pre-doom.
Some good bands mentioned in this thread.  Green THC/resin covered thumbs up!!

[whodunit?]

lol, these genres are fucked up.


Sabbath=proto-doom

Well... dunno if I'm right, but speaking about stoner, I've catched a little similarity between QOTSA and Black Sabbath... (it's stoner rock?? I think, because Doom or Stoner Doom i don't think so...) but yeah, Black Sabbath has influence in many many bands nowadays... old school Black Sabbath..
maybe this is pointless in this thread, but just wanted to notice that...

[oldgentlovecraft]

Nope, a good point!  Stoner rock is close enough to, and gets its influences from, doom, such as Sabbath.  Like Monster Magnet for example, or Clutch. 

Anyone listen to Bloodlet?

[Velvet Tongue]

doomgaze is awesome.

The Angelic Process: Weighing Souls With Sand is fast bocoming one of my favorite albums of all time.

and Nadja is also excellent.

The Goslings are alright, but more closely resemble Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine or Black Noise Cannon than either of the aforementioned groups.

They are truly fucking horrible. That dude was spot on. It IS just noise...

Anyone can do what they do. Tune guitars as low as possible, strike a chord, wave guitar in the air to look mysterious, place guitar close to amp to get lots of feedback.

It's CRAP.
