Skepticism

Seriously... no thread for Skepticism? Shame on you people!

Finland’s Skepticism is one of the pioneers of funeral doom metal. Combining painfully slow Doom/Death Metal styled riffs, solemn keyboards and sparse percussion with deep growling, boundaries were pushed once again.

The band uses four instruments: drums, played with felt beaters, keyboards with organ pedals, guitar, and vocals. With this, they create songs that are both within the range of contemporary doom metal in terms of heaviness and slowness, yet far beyond the range of others where atmosphere and sound is considered.

Without question, one of the best Funeral Doom bands in existence.

Yes without a doubt.

I have to check these guys out.

Anyone that have any interest in funeral doom have to check them out.

I'm officially calling Alloy a masterpiece, in fact I'm going to go right ahead and call all four of their albums masterpieces.

Every song is just so rich with imagery and emotion, no band sounds even remotely close to them.
