I've been listening to Chelsea Wolfe lately and wanted to know if anyone had something similar to her reverb soaked creepiness?

Getting into Lake of Tears at the moment, wondering if, as Wiki says, this is indeed doom metal (and I'm not at all sure it is, as they also append the subgenre gothic metal) does anyone know of bands similar to them, as I would be interested in exploring?

TVM

Anyone have any recommendations for some good old avant-garde metal that's heavy on the dissonance?

Avant-garde, certainly, metal maybe, dissonance, hmm not sure but have you tried Diablo Swing Orchestra?

Lake of Tears are one of these gothic/doom metal bands. So check out My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Katatonia and Candlemass. This stuff tends to be more varied than straight-up doom metal.

DSO is a great band, those crazy Swedes. I only have that album that you posted though, maybe I'll do a little backtracking into their catalogue. Thanks for the rec!

Could we add instrumental metal band Toundra to that list? I honestly don't know how to classify them. :confused: By now, the only certain thing is that their music is absolutely eargasmic to me. :love:

Wait, wait, wait. Am I to assume that you are only just getting into doom metal? Then you should start with these and move on from there. None of these are in any way extreme metal. No growling vocals, and they are closer to Sabbath than anything else, so they shouldn't put you off:
