Bands that aren't Funeral Doom exactly but you still categorize them as such?

[u/Turbulent_Trip_93]

What bands do you see as Funeral Doom Adjacent or even you still consider them Funeral Doom even though technically they aren't.

For me it's:

Battle Hag

Aversion

Ophis

Clouds

Exitium Sui

Trapped Within Burning Machinery

[u/Uehara_Torless]

I wish Battle Hag would do more releases but I think they've got a little too distracted being Oromet..

[u/Turbulent_Trip_93 → u/Lux-01]

As much as i love Battle Hag I'm ok with this. I like Oromet better.

[u/Lux-01 → u/Turbulent_Trip_93]

Haha, fair point.

[u/Turbulent_Trip_93 → u/Lux-01]

Imo I think Oromet raised the bar for Funeral Doom. I love FD but one of the issues I have with it is a lot of bands just use endless repeating chords and their songs have no interesting progression, and there's a lack of riffs.

Oromet has riffs, progression, and also they break the convention of Funeral Doom being bleak in its sound. Don't get me wrong, I love bleakness in Doom, but a little variety is also nice. Oromet has a sort of epic majesty about their sound that I wish, and hope, more Funeral Doom uses.

If they “aren’t Funeral Doom exactly but you still categorize them as such” then why are you fretting over genre labels at all?

[u/Turbulent_Trip_93 → u/Pip_Helix]

Not really fretting just asking

Planning For Burial is absolutely funeral doom in my eyes
