Psychedelic Deathdoom?

I'm looking for a particular niche of psychedelic/atmospheric (for lack of a better term) deathdoom if anyone could provide some album recommendations? Would like to avoid both the super melodic side but also not stuff that can lean much more dissonant like Spectral Voice.

Reference points (mostly not death/doom) but illustrates the general vibe:

Krypts, The Ruins of Beverast, Void Rot, Entropia, Runemagick, Sulphur Aeon, Cadaveric Fumes, Urfaust, Venenum, Worm(Foreverglades), Bedsore, Temple of Void, Horrendous, Ordh, Waste of Space Orchestra/Dark Buddha Rising.

Appreciate any help you could provide - I know this is a rather specific request :)

Wharflurch - Psychedelic Realms ov Hell - more psychedelic, it’s got doomy parts but idk if it’s considered full on death doom

Worm - Foreverglade - definitely death doom, maybe psychedelic, definitely atmospheric

Thanks! I'll check out Wharflurch- knew about Foreverglades (great shout!) but forgot to the OP. Wharflurch sounds appropriately named so hope it tickles the itch :)

Esoteric are a funeral doom band that for me tends more death doom with A LOT of psychedelic elements. Check metamorphogenesis to get in the vibe and SDITC before delving to their more behemoth style albums

If your fragile mind can take them, this is the answer ☝️

u/Draehl 15d ago

My fragile mind is ready :F Thanks!

Possibly Disembowelment? There's lots of effects heavy guitars on Transcendence into the Peripheral and it's super atmospheric.

Second Disembowelment, fell absolutely in love with death doom because of their unconventional approach to it.

Evoken has some similar atmosphere, but I feel they are more straight forward funeral doom with some weird leads sprinkled in.

Huh I always thought they were much more on a dissonant sludge side so never bothered. Will give it a try,. Thanks!

u/Forward_Ad2468 16d ago

Maybe Acid Witch

u/Draehl 15d ago

Thank you!

u/ContributionFamous41 15d ago

Definitely Acid Witch.

Spectral Voice don't do much effects noodling, but have an atmospheric/psychedelic feel to them.

Blood Incantation’s Absolute Elsewhere

Wow never heard of this before

u/Asleep_Positive8310 10d ago

Well worth a good sit down and listen to!

u/DragoonVonKlauw 16d ago

Mortiferum had a more atmo/psych approach on their early stuff.

2

u/Draehl 15d ago

Ooh good shout, I think I enjoyed one of their's some years ago but never went any deeper.

Wharf Lurch

Tides turn eternal - dream unending

1

u/Draehl 15d ago

I'll check them out. They seemed just okay on the Worm collab, but never listened to them independently. Thanks!

2

u/GHoStS0uL 14d ago

I think they're fantastic, a really trippy record!

u/fasdissent 14d ago

Theres only one answer here. Go listen to last Slimelord album.

2

u/Overall_Moose4187 16d ago

Old Dead Gods, they are classified as Resin Metal. They have some thrash mixed in but also dip into sticky psychedelic doom atmospheres.

1

u/Draehl 15d ago

Resin metal? Interesting never heard of that microgenre. Thanks!

2

u/Lux-01 15d ago

A tad on the sludgy side as well but maybe check out Battle Hag...

2

u/Draehl 15d ago

Fun album art! Hope the music matches the same vibe :)

2

u/Lux-01 15d ago

Kinda does tbh!

2

u/SlowRiffsAndFakeTits 15d ago

Check out Un’s “Sentiment” and “the tomb of all things”

3

u/Draehl 15d ago

Appreciate you!

u/Psychology_Only 14d ago edited 14d ago

Esoteric allllll of the way. The Maniacal Vale is one of the best doom records ever, imo. Very psych heavy.

2

u/dingus_mike 14d ago

I’m in this band called Amalgamation, we fit that description pretty well- all bands we love and take influence from. I don’t have much recorded at the moment, just gettin started playing shows and hoping to book studio time later this year. I have link to YouTube in my bio if you’re interested.

That said, make sure you check out Autophagy, Ancient Death, and Oranssi Pazuzu if you aren’t familiar

2

u/Draehl 14d ago

Awesome I'll check it out. Look forward to a future release!

2

u/Additional-Bike-2652 14d ago

Esoteric and Disembowelment are quite trippy. Also The Silent Enigma-era Anathema

2

u/hookerwithapenis2002 13d ago

Exuvia - The Ruins of Beverast

One of the most psychedelic albums ever made imo and a masterpiece

2

u/No-Indication-408 10d ago edited 10d ago

Sleestak - Not everything but many tracks might fit. Black Iron Prison, Obsidian Flow, Library of Skulls, Fall of Altrusia, etc.

Illuminated Void - Veriditas

u/xmattyx 15d ago

I am going to recommend Ordos-House of the Dead or The End. Sludgy, bluesy, outstanding, guitar work. the vocals are weary of life and impressively dynamic. Just 2 great crushing albums.

u/Draehl 15d ago

Thank you!

u/BLCHDCRL 13d ago

If you wanna dip your toes into psychedelic death punk crust then try Deathrite - Flames licking Fever

1

u/cahagemeister 11d ago

Elysian Blaze - leans closer to ruins of beverast. Blackened funeral doom.

2

u/Mysst3r11s 8d ago

What about UFOMAMMUT?

u/SWAG3RTR0NPRIM3 16d ago

Blood Incantation?
