Default Doom/Gothic Metal Band Contest


The Doom/Gothic Metal section of the MH contest to find the best band starts now. I'm sick of waiting for somebody else to do it.

Your choices are in the poll. The contest ends in 28 days starting today (March 27th). Vote now!

I would think twice about Moonspell and Type O Negative being doom.

Edit: ah, I see you picked the names from the forum description. It's not your fault, too bad the gothic and doom sections are conjoined.

I think it's great he did something, though. Personally I voted for Novembers Doom.

Have to agree with Alfader about Type O and Moonspell not being Doom at all although Type O do seem to get put in this catergory by a lot of the magazines and media that covers them I've nver been a fan to be honest although I do lke Moonspells latter day work compared to their early work but again it's not Doom more along the lines of Gothic metal I'd say.

Alfader, could you edit the title of this thread to both Doom and Gothic?

Candlemass for me, but I like Moonspell, My Dying Bride and old-Katatonia very much.

i refuse to vote here. the choices are atrocious. we should have had an actual fan of doom music make some picks.

It wasn't me. I just quoted Graveheart.

@ Graveheart: You seem to be the expert here. Have you got any additions?
