Post subject: | Is Retro doom/heavy metal the new trend? |
Seeing the success of bands like Ghost, Castle, Witchcraft, Jess and the Ancient ones, and Blood Ceremony not to mention the legion of smaller acts emulating these bands has caused me to examine this. Is it so much a trend as just bands adding poppy elements to Black Sabbath's early sound, or just people noticing the success of the bands I mentioned and hoping to catch their own fifteen minutes of fame. In any event, I know these bands have a lot of fans here, and some of the purportedly older bands in this style like Hour of 13, Jex Thoth, and The Gates of Slumber in my opinion have demonstrated that you don't necessarily need to sugarcoat your music. Do you see this style of music continuing to grow in terms of popularity with more bands getting label deals, or do you see the bands I mentioned as developing further away from their original like what we saw with the post-bm bands? |

I'd say it seemed quite trendy about 4-5 years ago, along with Deathcore and then followed by wanky prog metal (Opeth, Mastodon, Enslaved, Devy projects etc). I'm not seeing any trends in Metal right now. Nothing appears to be dominating the scene. |
