90s demo tapes hit different though. The crustiness really enhances the overall atmosphere of certain genres.

Ysigim - Ain Soph Or (1994) is a personal favorite. They did a digital rerelease recently and it's too clean, I don't like it.

Guys, I think I found the guy in the meme

Yes and I will judge anyone who doesn't recommend me their favorite demo tape

Here are a couple of my favs:

  • Cromlech - ...and darkness fell (Meloblack along the lines of Dawn/Sacramentum)
  • Cartilage/Altar - Ex Oblivione (All time DM split from two bands who never really did anything after)
  • Abhorrence - S/T (early Finn-death classic)
  • Dusk - Majestic Thou in Ruin (absolutely goated Death/Doom EP)

https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Majak/The_Claws_of_the_Red_Crown/1099606 Not my favourite music, but the tape came with a dead wasp wrapped in a little piece of paper. 😁 Also it’s limited to 60 copies.

Just looked it up on YouTube and someone in the comments called it "magick metal". I've been out of the metal scene for a while now but I see the tradition of inventing goofy names for subgenres is still going strong lol

Taylor swift is way too heavy for me. I respect people who like her but the wiggles are about as heavy as I go

Some blackened doom vibes here. Like some old school Bell Witch.

Absolutely! There are many remasters nowadays, which always feel too clean to me, too.

My personal recommendation: Tyrant - Rise of the Fallen (1998)

Very nice, thanks. Love the sound of the cymbals.

[–] Labotomized@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I appreciate the recommendation. I’ve found some new music to listen to!
