Dude, Windhand's Forest Clouds is so freaking sick. What a vibe—the album art, the track names, and ofc the sound is so awesome. Man, it feels so hyperbolic, but I honestly haven't had this feeling listening to music in sooo long.
For sure, I dig some death/black metal stuff a bit, but I've always been a nu metal plebian that having this convo on reddit would just have die-hard gatekeepers take a dump on me, tbh. I've always hated how gatekeepy metal has always been. Thanks for the recs and interesting genre info! All the genre names are so hilariously awesome xD
Windhand was my gateway into this whole world, and I couldn't agree more. The first time I heard their stuff, it just blew my mind in a way I hadn't experienced in probably a decade.
I came into metal from metalcore, and there's no faster way to get yourself banned from the metal subs than posting metalcore, so I feel you in the gatekeeping, too. The doom scene really does pull from all sorts of influences and tends to be pretty accepting of a ton of fringe bands and sounds so you get people that are excited to talk about music instead of just shitting on other people's taste. So you get "doom wop," stoner rock, doom 'n' roll, fairy doom, witch metal, caveman battle doom, and so on.
Have fun exploring it all! There's a ton of good shit out there, and for my money, to this day, nothing hits like that first time hearing "Forest Clouds"
