I actually like funeral doom, for when I’m alone, or whenever I want to clear a room. Another good band that has a little more going on is Comatose Vigil, which is kind of off rhythm, kind of pretty. Also, I don’t think it’s “funeral” doom, but Ahab’s “Call Of The Wretched Sea”. If you ever have a party that you want to end, put on either of those records and watch people shuffle out.

I have to say that I honestly kind of enjoyed this. Actually a little bit more then “kind of”. I thought it was pretty damn enjoyable. That sub-genre is something Sam Dunn has to add to his Metal Flow chart. Fucking classic. =) It kind of reminded me of Giant Squid, except I thought GS was far too stoner for my taste. This is just the perfect mix of slow, melancholy distortion and vocals that don’t make me want to writhe on the floor like a heroin addict. That slightly more ‘deathy’ feel makes it. All in all, neat stuff.

Not bad. I’d never heard of Colosseum before, but it’s nice to hear someone leaning more towards a classical/melodic sound in the funeral doom. Dissonance will only get you so far.
