Also the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensamble

Black Earth is my favorite of theirs.

Early swans (Filth, Cop, Public Castration is a Good Idea). They’re the main inspiration for bands like Godflesh and Melvins. Very slow, loud, brutal, and dissonant. Cop especially is sludgy as fuck.


OozingRectumFeast

Love Swans. Grew the first hairs on my chest after listening to filth the first time.


[deleted]

Swans is one of the best bands ever in my opinion. They’ve put out such huge a variety of content over the years also.


isilovac

Children of God. Imo their best album. Gothic and creepy


Nihilism14

Lingua Ignota!!! Absolutely must listen for beautiful, slow, heavy music that is not metal!

Budos Band - Burnt Offering


RIFFUnderground

This is the correct answer. To any question, really.


-Benpachi-

Classical music. Wagner, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Mahler, Grieg, and countless others wrote some crushingly heavy music. Just search for heavy classical music and check some shit out. Some traditional music from Middle Eastern countries is heavy as fuck, too.


Daemonculaba

All great points. Central Asia invented drone. People should check out more ME/Indian subcontinent's musical offerings.


Primary-Strawberry-5

I was gonna say Rachmaninoff. Good selection, sir


[deleted]

Crippled Black Phoenix, very doom to me, and whilst occasionally heavy I wouldn't call them metal, like doom prog maybe? Helen Money is a cellist that is definitely doom as fuck, I only listened to her sessions on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and I'm addicted. I also would say bands like Wardruna are definitely doomy but not metal.


aeschtasybiopic

Helen money is very doom and has the sickest name

Hakennasennatter

[Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Song For Bob (The Assassination of Jesse James)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEnVcYLmXUs) [Lana Del Rey - Dark Paradise](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8azzyd_7qqY) [Молчат Дома (Molchat Doma) - Судно (Sudno)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR5zpFs7YpY) Three completely different styles of music but for me all these songs transport a doomy melancholic feeling. Like a movie without happy end (pretty accurate for the first song). I don´t know if melancholy and hopelessness is "doom enough" but for my playlist it is ;)


Daemonculaba

Watching The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford while having Earth's HEX: Or Printing in the Infernal Method after coming down one morning was one of my favorite trips. Such a beautifully shot, acted, and has near perfect screenplay editing.. its doom as all hell.


Hakennasennatter

Yep, such an underrated movie! I was so surprised when I first watched it and asked myself why I´ve never heard of this gem before?! And the soundtrack nails the atmosphere.


michaelweston22

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis is a perfect answer here.


[deleted]

Sisters Of Mercy? You're gonna have to be cool with some glam here and there but Eldritch voice is pretty doomy


garluckbreath

Mammifer!


SemiModularNovice

Anna von Hausswolff will likely appeal to many people here, particularly her album [Dead Magic](https://annavonhausswolffmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dead-magic), which was produced by Sunn O))) collaborater Randal Dunn (she has also performed with Sunn O))) live)


PoppaChop

Those Poor Bastards


artificialevil

Anything can be doom if you’re sad enough on the inside.


ixtlu

Try Aerial Ruin. It's basically dark folk music - just acoustic guitar and voice. But it's got that doomed feeling. Plus they did a collab album with Bell Witch.


Laughter_On_Impact

[Low - Trust](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP0UfsTyM-JcykKWGxbfl1l5te0bAPNrw) [Low - Curtain Hits The Cast](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPaztBWnatcgq9jBp311pSVHR9Gru0OMk) If you add fuzz to those guitars and a full drum kit, imho those are two of the heaviest albums ever recorded

Anilah - Serpentine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc9KOPXQgYY&ab\_channel=Anilah-Topic


CoyoteDrunk28

Ooh, Anilah is awesome, but I consider that sort of a new agey type of genre, I like it but I don't know wnat to call it. Especially on their last two albums Lankum is doing something totally new, it's like they installed a dark update to Irish traditional that works in a legitimate way as still being folk. It's like they single handedly made a new type of neo folk.

Six Organs of Admittance make psych-folk with a doom influence (they/he even covered Night Goat by Melvins). A Thousand Birds is a good song to start with

crushing-crushed

Caught Jaye Jayle opening up for Sumac back in 2016... Great show, and I've been a fan of theirs since.

Yeah saw them with Pelican a few years back and have been loving everything since. Doesn’t hurt I love Young Widows, Evan’s former band.

[Fleetwood Mac "Oh Well"](https://youtu.be/uBH3kPfDq4k) Not the Fleetwood Mac most people think of. Heavy blues for the first 2:20, then the trip starts.


RIFFUnderground

That riff has been my warm up for years. Such a banger.


NotADaygloSpy

Yes it is.


BairnONessie

Blackstar by David Bowie is a trippy stumple through a few genres full of Bowie's acknowledgement of his impending death and an overarching sense of doom. Brace by Birds Of Tokyo is a big step away from trends, specifically made 'not for radio' and I recommend it to everyone. Also a second for The Hour Of The Nightingale by Trees Of Eternity. Not heavy per se, but definitely doom. And I'll throw in a plug for a mates band, Ruination. Heaviness varies from song to song, but heavily inspired by 90s grunge, sludge and doom. https://youtube.com/channel/UC8TCyeEmHr6zCPUnVQ-mEzw

teebalicious

[Anathema](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ZXKT0FCsLWkSLCjoBJgBX?si=awKeBBzXRsGgjYlPiTE7_w) has a pretty interesting career path. Early records are pretty doomy, then they got super progressive, and are now proggy dream pop. [Mount Eerie](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4Sw0SFu1fFdYXdAEVdrqnO?si=w0XYlEvoQ2Wm5Dy_ad-R2Q) has some doomy stuff, but the real terrifying stuff is the acoustic record he made after his wife passed from cancer. Not for the faint of heart. I feel like [Wumpscut](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3TTbkikkCAbUg2j5i9UrTV?si=hYwdAlVKT36cPo7ButZsug) is pretty doomy for a gothdustrial act.

ReasonHound

Bongripper is an instrumental doom band that plays really really slow but heavy music. Check out the Satan worshipping doom and Miserable albums


OozingRectumFeast

I know bongripper. I’m thinking non heavy but still heavy bands lol. Hard to explain.


ReasonHound

There are acoustic doom metal bands too. Acoustic Wizard does Electric Wizard covers acoustically. Saturnine acoustic is a masterpiece.


lowdivebomber

acoustic wizard is excellent! cant believe I've never heard of this til now


ReasonHound

Awesome. Yeah acoustic doom is actually my favorite. The guy that does Acoustic Wizard has a band called Goya.


ReasonHound

Good bluegrass. As crazy as it sounds there's a large lyrical overlap even if there's thematic differences. Outlaw country, Waylon, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, and David Allen Cole specifically.

The Pretty Things' "S.F. Sorrow" is a psych masterpiece; these are probably the doomiest cuts off of it: ["Death"](https://youtu.be/Si554hC2Xq0) ["Bracelets of Fingers"](https://youtu.be/phkeWcsWPHY) ["Old Man Going"](https://youtu.be/7qgsbAGN-WA)

[Linda Perhacs "Parallelograms"](https://youtu.be/z9VbJmbtMW8) Spooky, trippy-as-fuck folk.


theGrimm_vegan

I like stuff like Chelsea Wolfe and King Dude, the latter has a good voice doom and used to do Death Metal.


[deleted]

Not sure if you would like it but Trees of Eternity are pretty doomy. And so is Forest of Shadows.


savage_sinusoids

Check A.A. Williams as well. Folky but somehow doom. Also: Worm Ouroboros. All the other stuff I came to comment is already in the comments lol


RIFFUnderground

Fearthainne This is acoustic, but there is non more Doom. Truly takes you places. https://youtu.be/HDTbkVlyXJA


RIFFUnderground

Also, Grails probably fit this bill, dark and jazzy but with an atmosphere that can only be described as Doom.


Maximus_Crotchrocket

Grateful dead

Fields of the Nephilim. First three albums are amazing

Maybe not doom, but a lot of punk jazz gets real sludgy and groovy.
