I think it becomes apparent after a few posts that they are either making this up as they go along or they have no idea what the hell they are talking about. |
Of course the term 'funeral doom' is going to sound stupid to you guys since you probably don't listen to any doom. But it has been around for a long time and is worthy of a genre tag. Funeral doom is an apt title... I don't listen to that much of it, but some of it is strikingly beautiful.
E.g. funeral doom might be to doom what the Canterbury scene is to prog.

I don't think Candlemass sounds like a rehash of Sabbath, but I can see why you might think that if you don't listen to much doom. Candlemass has always had a very epic sort of sound. The real Sabbath clones are to be found in traditional/stoner doom. I like Messiah but I can see how he would get on some people's nerves. I actually prefer the vocals on Epicus Doomicus Metallicus - the vocalist there was a session pop singer.

DRAGONFORCE are an exponent, and all they are doing is speeding up bands like HELLOWEEN, it's not original at all, so why the genre tag.

Yeah, battle metal is a stupid genre tag. I think it started as a bit of a joke term when Turisas released an album by that title.
