'The Forestroamer' is proof positive that Woebegone Obscured have never stopped thinking outside the box when it comes to creating menacingly beautiful Doom atmospheres.

Slow, mournful, repetitive. One of the harshest, heaviest and most depressive bands ever. Both the music and grunts are extremely sick. Grief is a specia...

 | There Was Death
My Silent Wake show exactly why they remain one of the most consistently creative and relevant of the UK's extreme doom acts with this latest full-length. |  | Beloveth Forever In My Thoughts
After years of silence, Mistress Of The Dead's newest release is a powerful and prolonged work of Funeral Doom. | |
 | Boundless Torture (EP)
An old-school audio assault from Belgian Death/Doom band Gateway, this EP's only fault is that it ends too quickly. |  | Pilgrimage Of The Imperator
It may not hook you on the first listen, but Excantation's sophomore is a superbly grim and crushing Funeral Doom trip waiting to be discovered. | |
 | Art & Solitude (Re-release)
Unearthing past releases doesn't always uncover hidden gems, as this '96 re-release from Mexican band Dark Sadness demonstrates. |  | Façade/Locus Amoenus (Split)
A little short, but this split between Façade and Locus Amoenus should nonetheless find appeal with Black/Death/Doom fans of all types. | |

News regarding the doom-metal site webhosting
Updated: 22/03/18
Well, it wasn't entirely painless, but doom-metal.com has now successfully moved to what we anticipate will be a more stable and reliable hosting service. Apologies for any disruption over the last day or so while the migration was taking place.
Following the recent and rather disappointing non-service offered by our current hosting company, doom-metal will be moving to a different supplier imminently. No guarantees with such things, obviously, but we do expect it to be a straightforward and largely seamless transition, with only the forum temporarily unavailable for posting purposes only. This will prevent anyone accidentally publishing comments to the 'old' version - and hence losing them - while the internet catches up with where the 'new' version is.
Still available...
Please check the Merchandise page for up-to-date information on our top-quality exclusive Doom products.
