Bands
- Arcturus
- Melodic black metal; kinda theatrical, very different.
- Cynic
- Great band that mixed death metal with a lot of progressive rock; no longer together, unfortunately.
- Dead Can Dance
- A very good doomy, new age band, well known for using rare and old instruments.
- Dream Theater
- Progressive rock band; great guitar and bass riffs, excellent drums and very good keyboards; the vocals suck tho...
- Nice doom metal band, with decent female vocals; 'Masquerade' is a cool album.
- Edge of Sanity
- Great melodic death metal with awesome growls and male clean vocals; possibly comparable to Opeth.
- Emperor
- One of the few black metal bands that really stands out; very melodic, epic songs.
- Empirium
- Slow doom with nice flute melodies, acoustic guitars and keyboards; it has electric moments as well. Deep male vocals as well as black metal like screams.
- Esoteric
- Really SLOW doom metal with nice growls and cool guitar riffs.
- Nightwish
- Finnish doom metal band with strong heavy metal influences, that make them different from the rest; sucky male clean vocals that are compensated with a great mezzo soprano voice.
- Novembers Doom
- Very good doom metal band; nice guitars, cool growls and a great soprano voice.
- Orphaned Land
- Awesome death metal band from Israel with huge oriental influences; constantly use of sitars.
- Kari Rueslåtten
- Ex-vocalist from The 3rd and the Mortal; one of the greatest female voices ever. Sings in both english and norwegian.
- Sirrah
- Doom metal band with both male and female clean vocals as well as some growls; some viola melodies here and there. Nothing really new but they do have nice songs.
- Stille Volk
- Really cool ancient pagan music band with some little annoying but good male vocals; lots of flutes, acoustic guitars and weird percussions. All french lyrics.
- Storm
- A project with Kari Rueslåtten, as well as members from Satyricon and Darkthrone. Black metal versions of traditional norwegian songs; really nice.
- Tiamat
- Doom metal with a really unique touch, highly melodic; recently a little more rock-like.
