As for anyone wanting to get into doom/stoner, there is only one word I need to utter:
DOPETHRONE

QUintessential Stoner album, although I think "When the Kite String Pops" comes pretty close.

I also don't rate Deliverance and Damnation as my favorite Opeth albums, I think recording the two different albums might have been a mistake. Deliverance is anything but pure death metal.

I do remember once, in conversation, being told that Damnation and Deliverance were released as they were owing to record company pressure, though I can't for the life of me recall what they were originally gonna do with them.
"When the Kite String Pops" and "Paegan Terrorism Tactics" (I still can't decide which is the superior record. For a time, I had come down on the side of PTT, but I'm free on the issue again now) are simply quintessential. Period.
a pack of wolves:
This thread is reminding me that I need more doom badly. And Earth records, lots of Earth records. Although am I the only person that likes Earth but finds SunnO))) utterly tedious? Admittedly I don't have a huge knowledge of either band's material but still, given SunnO)))'s blatant love of Earth I keep thinking I should find them at least passable.
--- Quote from: Jedit ---I don't see why; grindcore seems to have very little in common with the others. You could have described it as "death metal at 300bpm" and been within a shout of accurate, though of course you'd still have had to find a way to explain what death metal was.

One reason grind is somewhat different to the other examples is because it isn't metal. It tends to get lumped in with metal since its fanbase is obviously pretty similar (it's all brutal guitar music after all), but as the 'core suffix indicates it's actually a variety of hardcore. So some grind does pull a lot of stuff from death metal, but other kinds can sound like hyperspeed hardcore or even math rock.

Or jazz, or even oi. It's quite an open tangle of genres.

They're awful.
But I live around a bunch of hicks who either listen to country or classic rock, and those who like music other than that tend to categorize it wrong.
I've heard hilary duff referred to as hard core and emo around here once.
So, getting back to the point, the 'metal' that i've heard around here is absolute shit, and I can't bring myself to listen to anything 'real' metal, I suppose.
Besides, I'm really not a metal person. At all. I'm convinced I wouldn't like it. My friends say I only listen to pussy rock.
