Doom Metal

I was just wondering if there were any other doom metal fans out there? It often seems to be the least popular genre of metal, which I don't understand. I have been a huge doom metal fan for many years. Bands such as My Dying Bride, Candlemass, Void of Silence and the Reverand Bizarre are so incredibly talented. In many ways Doom is like no other genre of metal.

So, I'm not into doom metal--DON'T STOP READING! okay. haha. But my fiance would probably cite it as his favorite genre. Now, because I don't really listen to it unless he has it on in the car when we're driving I don't know all that much about it. He definitely has My dying Bride and Reverend Bizarre, but the other two don't seem very familiar. He also listens to a lot of drone-y stuff like Boris and Sunn O))). Are you into either of them at all? Can you give me suggestions of albums you would recommend? Xmas is coming and all... thanks!

Its one of my favorite genres, when its done well. I think so much of the music is crap quality though, unfortunately. Conceptually doom metal is great, but so many artists ruin it with stupidity. Lately, I have been enjoying the sounds of Aglarond. They're a pretty sweet doom metal band from Mexico.
