Showed this to my father (Matz Ekström) who played drums on this entire album and he absolutely loved your reaction! There’s a few other songs from the album that you probably would like, for an example ”A Sorcerer’s Pledge” and ”Under the Oak”. Matz would also like to recommend a song called ”The Tempter” from the band ”Trouble”. Keep up the good work!
Under the Oak, probably one of the best Candlemass songs ever. Still gives me goosebumps!
Hälsa och tacka din far från ett fan som hängt med sedan '87. Epicus är fortfarande ett av mina favoritalbum, inte bara från Candlemass utan även totalt sett (och jag lyssnar på vääääldigt många genrer, inte bara metal) och din fars insats är en av anledningarna till detta.
That’s cool, we need to upvote for them to notice your comment!!
Got to meet trouble. Got their guitar tech high in memphis tennessee lol. Id also personally add Blackstone Wielder from Epicus
Say thanks to you Da, Matz, for me as that record is one of my faves on all aspects. Everything balances really well. The lyricism is superb. :-)
You should feel proud of your dad. This is one of my favourite records.
Listen to all the people who said Electric Wizard's Funeralopolis! They speak truth!
RIGHT????
Black Sabbath is the OG Doom Metal band.
Too bad it's pure shit.
YES !!!!!!!!!!
Yes please, Funeralopolis already!
The guitar player from Candlemass is phenomenal
I support Funeralopolis of the almighty Electric Wizard.
Yes! Please review Electric Wizard for a more updated sound of Doom. Funeralopolis would be the perfect candidate
I think something from Witchcult Today would hit these guys better
Wizard In Black would also be a good one
Thy ant handle doom
This is a must for doom
Electric Wizard is my favourite Doom Metal band. Their song Funeralopolis is incredible.
Yeeesss! My most favorite song from them!
It's almost speaker shattering heavy.
Return Trip and I the Witchfinder are my favorites
Magnus Gamba Return trip, Son of Nothing, and Satanic Rites are good ones too
That song is an absolute must listen, it really changed my taste in music. I've been into stoner/doom/sludge ever since.
Black Sabbath's song Black Sabbath basically invented this sound. Really should check it out
Absolutely.
@Grin Host BLACK SABBATH'S BLACK SABBATH, FROM BLACK SABBATH.
That song started it all IMO.
Without a doubt!!!
Yes this is the first song to explore this sound in 1970. Definitely should check it out.
For more Candlemass, check out "bewitched" with their second vocalist Messiah Marcolin. It´s the first music video made by Jonas Akerlund.
I wish they had listened to that instead 😭

@@everychannel1025 If only! Alas, it was released on 25 May, 1987 (though recorded in November 1986, *but* history is written with release dates, because that is when _the people_ get to hear the _finished_ album).
Hey, "Reign In Blood" and I share birthdays!
Oh, don't forget Peace Sells. That's another big one.
@@honeycomblord9384 Congratulations! 🎂 And damn, indeed! _Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?_ was released 19 September, 1986! 😮
Hard to believe bruthas like doom metal😂😂😂
I really shouldn't be surprised anymore. Somehow you guys keep picking songs that surprise me. Never though I'd see Candlemass on here haha
Same! I was like YES!!!
I thought that it was going to be Bewitched heh.
I was hoping for 'The Well of Souls', 'Bewitched' would have been another great one. Those are just more dynamic than this song although I do love it. Doom is my speciality.
I was hoping for crystal ball but solitude is cool too
Dude! Yes! Been lowkey waiting on candlemass for awhile. But never actually thought youd even hear about em. Soooo good. Alright now ill watch the video
Same!
@@ElWebasMetal I agree, I am starting a "Give them another go by listening to 'The Well of Souls' campaign."
@@thapropellerguy8698 At The Gallows End for me
Dude how did you write this comment 3 month ago 😲
@@alexsandro2200 If you go back to other reaction videos youtube has been doing this a lot lately and I don't quite understand it neither.
It’s called doom because the lyrics are usually about negative things like death, sadness, grief, etc.
And also because the music sounds fairly evil and ominous
You forgot slow tempo and low tuned guitars.
There's a theory that says that is called doom because of the black sabbath's song "hand of doom" which is considered the first doom song.
Unknown Reasons i have never heard that theory, but it sounds plausible. There is absolutely no denying that bands like Candlemass, Hour of 13, Trouble and Witchfinder General are inspired by Sabbath.
Viktor Dolić aswell, correct
Short version: it's just look like life! Cheers from Brazil!
You guys are awesome. Candlemass is one of my faves. Love the open minded approach to all your reviews.
Oh snap! You guys are getting into DOOM territory! I can feel a Dragonaut by Sleep reaction or Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard! Can't wait for those!
This. This is important
Sleep first I think. EW might be too much fuzz just yet lol
I've been requesting Sleep for so long lmao. I think Marijuanaut's Theme would be a good intro to them too. Would also love to see a reaction to something off Warning's Watching from a Distance.
Yes, Dragonaut first. Dopesmoker later.
DOPETHRONE
Sleep - Dragonaut
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
Solitude Aeturnus - Haunting The Obscure
Candlemass - Bewitched
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Demon cleaner yeah
I suggest the original doom metal song "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath. It's the opening track to their debut album Black Sabbath.
I've always loved the little fluctuations at the end of each line in the singers voice. Makes it unique to me once I noticed.
Electric wizard - Funeralopolis
God yes
Nuclear warheads ready to strike
This world is so fucked, let's end it tonight
They're not ready for Electric Wizard. They're not ready for songs that are 30 minutes+.

@@llaeeZ And a glorious earth shattering 8 1/2 minutes it is.
Okay.
Now do Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis.
Elder is better
@@ccc1362 It's really not.
That first Candlemass records is one of the most epic riff-and-shred fests in the history of metal.
I'd love to see y'all do Bewitched off of Candlemass' second album. Fantastic song!!
Yes!
Yes! Messiah Marcolin
@@blazeandcyrus Third best Candlemass vocalist.
Down - Stone the Crow

You too have died before
Doom metal
Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis
Sleep - Dragonaut
Bongripper - Worship
Magnus Ipsen omg imagine if they actually did a bongripper song. From what these guys came from and following them from when they started doing this I’d NEVER have expected bongripper haha but man that would be amazing.
Or anything by Paradise Lost, Trouble, My Dying Bride looong before those bands made a tape.
That’s all stoner metal.
For a bit more exxxxtreme doooom : Bunkur - Bludgeon
@@andrewgeller5540 Or Sleep's-Dopesmoker
Celtic Frost- Procreation of the Wicked
Ah, Celtic Frost. The "Confused screaming" of metal bands. Jewel Throne is also a solid one.
I think Circle of Tyrants or Dethroned Emperor would be awesome
Procreation of the Wicked and Dethroned Emperor are iconic Celtic Frost songs, but my faves are Return To The Eve & Necromantical Screams.
Tom Fischer formed Triptykon.

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis
Do stoner metal next !!!!
I'm sure you will love Kyuss and Sleep
sleep pr bongzilla
Kyuss is the shit
YYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!
Sleep would be way too much for these guys. Orange Goblin would be a good shout.
Wizzerd
Alcest “Ecailles de lune part 2”
Agalloch “Not Unlike the Waves”
It’s gonna happen one of these days 😁
Definitely Agalloch, but something from their first two album albums would be better.
Kyuss - Gardenia
Nevermore - The River Dragon Has Come
Primus - Groundhog's Day
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Over and Over Again
A Perfect Circle - The Outsider
Ghost - From The Pinnacle To The Pit
Death - Lack of Comprehension or Voice of the Soul
Definitively Kyuss - Gardenia. This is absolutely essential for everyone who likes some form of Rock or Metal music. The drive and groove of this track is massive, I pretty much guarantee you will love it. Plus it would be the perfect introduction to Stoner / Desert Rock for you guys.
Candlemass is the quintessential doom metal band if one focuses on the sub-genre's fixation with fatalism and agony from more of a spiritual/religious perspective, their music tends to sound like long-running funeral marches through the moors at dusk or during the failing light just prior, hence they ascribe the term "epic doom metal" to their sound (the title of their first album, which "Solitude" came from is the Latin version of the same phrase).
Overall a good starting band, particularly for people who are only familiar with Black Sabbath's take on doom metal through songs such as "Hand Of Doom" and "Into The Void". There are other subsets of doom metal that lean a bit closer to the stoner variety that includes a bit more of a political angst meets drug induced depressive state while still embodying the Sabbath sound as well in bands like Electric Wizard and Sleep, whereas more traditional bands in the style such as Saint Vitus and The Obsessed take a more generalized view of the sound that Black Sabbath pioneered and listen more like a composite of all of Sabbath's early 70s material, which is actually quite varied.
Great reaction to this song, Johan Langquist's vocals are definitely an acquired taste and if you explore more of their material you'll find that the vocals largely sound different since he was only on their first album. Their next vocalist Messiah Marcolin has a bit more of an operatic sound to his voice and a somewhat less pitchy delivery, though the material that Thomas Vikstrom did on Chapter VI and the later material done by Robert Lowe (no relation to the actor) is probably the most accessible vocally speaking.
Metal is a universal language, it transcends race, color, and creed. Be metal.
Thank you for actually looking at Doom/ Candlemass, very underrated imo.
Pallbearer - I Saw The End
Even though I'm not big into doom metal I love their last album and I think you guys will dig their sound.
Absolutely! This band is amazing. Great lyrics, and vocals. This song in particular shows the band leaning more towards a progressive doom style that I've never heard before especially from a more modern band. I also really enjoy their song The ghost I used to be.
This would be a great song for them, Pallbearer is one of the best in the current doom metal scene
Great choice! I'd like to see a Dancing in Madness reaction too
Yes, I think they'd dig Pallbearer. IMO they're not quite as dark lyrically. Dark certainly but with a layer of hope within the despair. And the RIFFS!
I think if you want a little more ...accessible...pallbearer is a great start. The ghost I used to be. Khemmis as well!
(slow heavy metal music playing)
*unbiased free thinkers reaction
Fukken lol
Can’t believe I missed this upload! Definitely requested this more than once, Love this band!! Great vid as always guys
You guys have become my favorite CZcams channel in 1 day! Been binge watching all day! Hat's off!
Yes! I'm so happy you guys are finally getting to doom metal, one of my favorite genres. Candlemass is also a great introduction to doom metal. They were very influential on the genre along with bands like Black Sabbath, Sleep and Type O Negative. If you guys do another Candlemass song I suggest Bewitched.
If you want some good modern doom metal to react to try some of these songs:
Electic Wizard - Funeralopolis
Pallbearer - The Ghost I Used To Be
Paradise Lost - Crucify
SubRosa - Ghosts Of A Dead Empire
Swallow The Sun - Through Her Silvery Body
YOB - Quantum Mystic
I'd love for them to do any of those new bands, but especially YOB and Pallbearer. Add Windhand and Woods of Ypres to the list
Funeralopolis- electric wizard
or vinnum sabatthi
Dopethrone is a masterpiece
chinchu they really need the track 1-2 fade-in to really get the effect lol
Doom/Death Metal!!! Paradise Lost My Dying Bride and early Anathema the first three Doom/Death Metal bands
Shape of despair eats those bands alive. My dying bride is great, though. She is the dark...
@@soullessSiIence but there a Funeral Doom band it's different by the way I really love those guys
Esteban Aguayo Nah, Paradise Lost and MDB are far better.
Esteban Aguayo Shape of Despair is alright. But I do not come close to loving them they way that I love PL and MDB
alot of doom bands came out many years before these. sorry.
It's amazing how far your guys music journey has taken you guys as well as others on this channel. Big ups big respect fellas
Another vote for Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard
Return Trip!
And Barbarian!
You guys should try electric wizard - funeralopolis
Have watched a lot of reaction videos this past year, but you guys are always the favourites. Simply because you don’t try too hard, and the reaction just seems genuine. Seem like just fun dudes who keep it real and open minded. Shout out from Australia ✌🏼
"At Gallows End" is another great Candlemass song
Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis should definitely be the next doom song you do!
Return Trip or Barbarian would be another good option.
Or Dopethrone!!!!
Glad you guys got to this. Candlemass is awesome. Them and the entire Doom genre is basically a throwback to the sound Black Sabbath pioneered. It was a stark contrast to the speed and technicality that had come to dominate metal in the late-70s/early-mid 80s. Solitude was from the album Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, which is where the genre got its name. This was their only album where Johan Längqvist did vocals; Messiah Marcolin replaced him on the next album and he remained throughout their "classic" period and for their comeback. If you get to another Candlemass, I'd recommend Gothic Stone/The Well of Souls (former is a short intro).
Frankly, I haven't heard another Doom band that holds a candle (ha!) to Candlemass, but the American band Trouble are quite good. I could recommend The Tempter from them.
#1 for Trouble.
Also, the band Non-Fiction: czcams.com/video/miCCPvaEgUk/video.html Make sure to listen to the 3:00 mark.
Trouble is sick
Solitude Aeturnus comes closest to them(and their singer sang on a couple Candlemass albums too), but Trouble are good too. Fun fact, Johan is back with the band and singing on their upcoming album.
Johan Längqvist, the singer on this song(and the first album) is now BACK IN CANDLEMASS! And they are recording a new album!
Was gonna say something along these lines but you said it better.
Love you guys doing metal requests! Keep it up. You guys are one of my favorite CZcams channels.
Finally asked for it a lot.
Really love what you do.
Sweet doom metal choice! Would highly recommend Pallbearer's Foundations or Electric Wizard's Funeralopolis next for the genre
These are my suggestions as well! Really great mix of old school and modern choices.
Definitely would love to see them react to a Pallbearer song, but I'd pick Worlds Apart.
You absolute legend
Another AMAZING doom band: Electric Wizard. Listen to Funeralopolis.
I have asked for this one for awhile! Thanks for reacting to it. Gonna go watch it now. ;)
I love your videos, guys. Big fan
Sleep - Dragonaut
Sleep - Dopesmoker :D
As a guy who has been trying to like Sleep for years, what would be the best stuff for me to listen to? QOTSA and Kyuss are my favorite bands. I've listened to Dopesmoker (the whole thing) twice but I assume Holy Mountain is a good place to start as I already like a couple of those songs (Dragonaut and Holy Mountain). I have all 4 albums. Any advice?
@@APAL880 Holy Mountain is a good start. The Sciences aswell. Dopesmoker is for hardcore fans imo.
@@APAL880 Biggest advice I can give you is to try and smoke as much weed as possible before listening and during.
APAL880 The Sciences dude. Then The Clarity & Leagues Beneath singles and then Sleep’s Holy Mountain. Then you’re ready to appreciate Dopesmoker.
I know I always ask for high on fire but you guys definitely need to get Matt Pike from high on fire's first band Sleep. Very influential. Maybe the song Dragonaut. And probably also some Electric Wizard... maybe Funeralopolis.
Can you imagine these guys hearing Fury Whip for the first time? That was transformative for me.
High on Fire and Sleep are great bands.
@@CELT1CPRED That is the song I always request from them.
High on Fire is sorely missing from their reactions.
10,000 Years
Great video as always!
For Doom, some of my favourite tracks are:
Draconian - Pale Tortured Blue
Paradise Lost - Beneath Broken Earth
Swallow the Sun - Falling World
Saint Vitus - Born Too Late
Trees of Eternity - My Requiem
My Dying Bride - To Shiver in Empty Halls
Thank you for this one!!! Amazing band and song!!!! Lost In Vegas...YOU GUYS ARE KILLIN IT
Some Corrosion of Conformity -Albatross would hit the spot.
This x2
Two words: Messiah Marcolin
PLEASE listen to a Candlemass song with him on vocals: Bewitched, Mirror Mirror, or Well of Souls!
Nothing compares...
100% right, this was a sad version of a great song. I had a great night out with these guys back in the mid eighties at the Dynamo center.
Based on all their underwhelmed reactions to what metalheads consider great vocalists, I bet they will not like Messiah (as they didnt like/were not impressed by Dio, Peter Steele, Bruce Dickinson, Mike Patton, etc.). It would be fun to watch anyway.
If they listen to the song, Samaritan, from the Nightfall album, they'll like Messiah.
Samarithan is a good one too
@@paolocito what The Hell are you talking about? They Love Dio and they didn't hate Pete or Bruce. However they clearly didn't enjoy Belladonna of Anthrax.
TROUBLE
check them out!
Great doom band from Chicago, been around since the 80's
Love you guys!
SAVATAGE - When the Crowds are Gone
Cheers!
Yes! Savatage needs way more recognition.
The song Chance would be a great pick, also!
david viteri yes!!
Folks, Savatage is awaiting to be heard here! Songs I would recommend: Edge Of Thorns, Handful Of Rain, This Is The Time, Morning Sun, Anymore!
Especially the live version on this one.
How about hall of the mountain king?
Black Sabbath - Into the Void
Nick Drage a must for them if they want to understand
YES! I'm sure they'd love it, they love everything else from Sabbath so far!
Black Sabbath - Snowblind. Good lyrics
Into the void is so damn good
DOOM
Badass! A couple of guys sitting around, listening to one of my favorite metal bands from my teens! 🤘🏻
My favorite comment is when you talk about understanding the genres. Great channel.
Candlemass-Bewitched (music video is legendary)
Dead from Mayhem is one of the kids that Messiah is pushing around... \m/
La Villa Strangiato by Rush, Amazing Guitar Solo and build!!!
I've never really listened to much metal before, but you guys are definitely opening my mind up to it. I could definitely see myself listening to some more. Not sure I vibe with the lyrical content and just how dark and morbid this song is, but I definitely respect it. Keep up the good work guys
Oh I kinda forgot about your cannel (sorry) been going back to your guys stuff and find this! An album I totally forgot about, thanks for reminding me of this! Haven't heard this album in years. The whole thing is great. Also dang....I remember now how this song just come right out the gates swinging lol what a beast
Saint Vitus - Children of Doom
Celtic Frost - A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh
Celtic Frost
Electric Wizard - Return Trip is one of the heaviest songs on record. Absolutely devastating.
Thats the song people should be playing to show off their heavy bass oriented sound systems. That song is like getting carpet bombed in slow mo
Great video! I love watching your reaction videos guys!
When this album was recorded, Candlemass didn't have a singer. Johan Längqvist was singing only at this album, until recently, when he was joining the band as their new singer.
After Epicus, dommicus... was recorded, Bror Alfredo Marcolin (also known as Messiah Marcolin as a singer) joined the band. Candlemass then made three fantastic albums at the late 80's and a live album 1990 with Marcolin as singer and those are considered by many fans to be the very golden age of Candlemass.
Some songs from the first album was later re-recorded with Marcolin and released at later albums. Some of the songs from the first album are also aviable in a live version with Marcolin.
Marcolin has a totally different voice and a way to sing. Moore deeper and with a tecniq reminding of opera.
I wish you could do another reaction video with Candlemass and for that pick a song from any of the three studio albums with Marcolin. If you pick only one, I would highly recommend At the gallows end from the album Nightfall, released 1987.
Regards and greetings from Sweden to you bros
This was a nice surprise to pop up for me while looking at CZcams, as I got this cd over 25 years ago. A pretty good debut, to say the least, as I played it to death.
As they mentioned the singer, they should check out the next one after that: Messiah Marcolin! Try "Mirror, Mirror" for his operatic tone!
This is the first time I've heard of this channel and I assume the guys are like myself where I like pretty much everything from death metal (duh!) to new age. Very cool vid and commentary, hope y'all continue to have fun with this for quite a while.
My Doom Faves
Cathedral - Enter the Worms, Soul Sacrifice, Alchemist of Sorrow, Congregation of Sorcerers
Sleep - Dragonaut, Aquarian
Electric Wizard - Return Trip
Uncle Acid - Melody Lane, Pusher Man
Lucifer - Total Eclipse
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Sweet Leaf, National Acrobat
I was ready to mourn the lost love for Cathedral in the comments but you saved it! :D
Always my favorite band for about 30 years. Got to see em in Dallas TX in the 80s or 90s at Joe's garage. Luv y'all's review. This is my favorite song
This is so sick! Candlemass is one of my all time favorites and it's rad to see people outside of the doom scene loving Candlemass this much!
Hell yes, so glad you guys picked this track. I love this whole album. Nightfall is also an amazing album worth checking out. Doom is where metal gets heaviest. Also grooviest in my opinion. Anyway, Candlemass rules. Great videos dudes, keep it up. You gotta do Sleep - Holy Mountain!
Acid Bath would be a great doom/sludge metal band to do a reaction on, it would probably be blocked though.
Rivers of Nihil - where owls know my name! You guys NEED to do this!!! Remember Ne Obliviscaris - And plague flowers the kaleidoscope??? This is in that level!!! Love you channel btw keep up the great work dudes \m/
I love you guys! it gives me so much joy when there is a new post from you guys after a shitty day at work. BTW you mentioned a Morbid Fascination of Death. Lowe and behold that is a name of a Black Metal album from Carpathian Forest. Did you just predict your next reaction?
This is my fav Candlemass album (sorry to disagree, but also my fav CM singer)!!! Johan Längqvist is back in the band, to my delight!
i respect it. i probably like Messiah better but this is the shit too.
Hear hear! Messiah is unique in his own lovely way, but he never managed to put the same emotion into his voice that Johan did on Epicus.
Exactly my man! Nightfall is probably technically better but this one is my favorite!
dude Im SOOOOOOO excited for the new album.
Salute!

Pink Floyd - Time
Best song of all time. Tells the story of all human being from born to death. Most beautifully done.
Totally agree! One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Cool reaction, excellent song. I understand that u guys could not have heard it before, but some really famous songs are hard to believe that u guys didn't. Good job.
great commentary as always! I would love to hear a comentary on a sorcerer's pledge (:
Samaritan by Candlemass. Different vocalist. Arguably their most popular vocalist
Bob Anglum They likely would enjoy something from the Marcolin era a bit more
My FAVE song and album \m/
Well of Souls would have been good too
Savatage-hall of the mountain king
Man, I love covering this song.
YES. This song DEFINES epic, to me.
YES
The pioneers of power metal. Lots of great songs.
Savatage - Any song Savatage did even with the Pirate Shirt Guy
Guys. You should really react to Type O Negative song called Love you to Death
You guys will be amazed by the voice of the singer and the atmosphere of the song.
They were one of the most iconic bands during the 80's and also for gothic metal in general.
1st & 2nd parts of your statement are correct. Yes Type O Negative are a great band & the song Love You To Death has amazing vocals by Peter Steele. My personal Type O- faves are Gravity (Origin Of The Fecess version), She's Gone, In Praise Of Bacchus, Too Late (Frozen) & Kill All The White People
The last thing you wrote though is incorrect. Type O Negative were using a different name prior to 1991 and their 1st album Slow, Deep and Hard was released in 91. So Type O- were not even a band in the 80s, though I wish they were around in the 80s, we would have even more good music from such a great band.
RIP Pete.
"Casket Crew 4Life"
Peace
Peter Steele was in Carnivore during the 80's
Hang on, give me a sec, I'm just tying myself a noose!
Lol
Temple of the Dog “Say Hello to Heaven”
Temple of the Dog-Times of Trouble
YES! If they really want to hear Chris Cornell go off!
I remember the days of playing D&D with my friends and listening to cassette tapes of this band back in the day. Good childhood memories.
Loved these guys since ‘86!
goddam george, by bringing up what happened to get this guy to sing this song.... awesome. I never thought about that before. you guys kill it.
Ah doom metal, an oft overlooked genre! My favorite doom band (so far) is actually a doom/black metal act from Canada called *Woods of Ypres.* They've disbanded now since their frontman died (car crash) in 2011 at the age of 31, but I still think they produced the ideal doom ambience: the mixture of the clean vocals, slow pace and morbidity of "standard" doom metal with the atmospheric elements and growled vocals of black metal, made for the perfect doom experience (i.e. depressing music that sounds amazing). Probably their best album (or at least my favorite) is Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth, their first full-length album (described by one critic as "metalized Pink Floyd"). Sucks that they don't exist anymore, but their 5th and final album (released after the death of their frontman) was good enough to win a Juno Award (Canada's Grammy Awards) for the best Metal/Hard Rock Album of the Year. Not bad for a bunch of boys from small town Ontario.
Love em.
I can see that scene in Conan The Barbarian where he is walking and pushing that giant wheel thingy in perfect synchronization to this song.
Still love Candlemass. Seen them more than once in concert.
You guys should do another Q & A sometime. Some things I've been wondering...
What things surprised you the most in your metal journey?
Are there some bands/songs you just are not going to do that we need to stop requesting?
Paradise lost - Gothic
Cathedral - ebony tears
My dying bride - symphonaire infernus et spread empyrium
None - A world, dead and gray or Hypoxic
All great doom or depressive metal
For MDB id go for something like Black Voyage as an introduction. Crunchy heavy riff and no growls.
Paulo Figueiredo while I understand the idea behind it with the no growls, I just didn’t get into them as much after the early stuff hence that song.
Tres Brujas by The Sword!
Sleep and Electric Wizard are a good start with doom metal. Or for more sludge, Acid Bath
Hey guys! I discovered your channel when Kamikaze dropped and loved your reactions, but then I dug a bit and saw that you reviewed/reacted to rock, metal and country as well. As a predominantly rock/pop guy, followed by select hip hop, but raised on good country music, I find myself gravitating to those the most.
I know y'all define country as its ability to tell a story, so I'd like to humbly suggest Skin by Rascal Flatts. It's in the same vein/mood as Don't Take The Girl, and the official video actually accompanies it perfectly.
Regardless, fantastic job, and I'll continue peeking in when something piques my interest. Thanks, guys.
Guys, try with Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King
Yes! Anything from the Self titled album. Especially this with the -a bit- cringeworthy videoclip!
Avoid the video at all costs. It's so cheesy that it makes it hard to enjoy the song.
Great song to recommend. I think they'd totally dig this song, maybe 24 Hours Ago as well.
For real. You two would love it.
Strange wings or 24 hrs ago better songs
Check out Sleep and Electric Wizard!!!
Samarithan, At the Gallows End, and Bewitched are all amazing songs by this band. They have a long and excellent discography. Messiah is a severely underrated vocalist.
