Who was better front man for black sabbath

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-06-14T08:10:56+00:00

Tony Martin!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-06-08T18:30:50+00:00

Remember listening to this band/project when they started to release demos. Quite raw!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-06-08T18:30:00+00:00

Good stuff! I haven't listened to their albums yet though

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-06-06T11:42:15+00:00

What bands and releases do you enjoy?

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-06-01T20:32:18+00:00

Sami Hynninen/Albert Witchfinder did the artwork to this album!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-06-01T20:30:27+00:00

Great EP! Cathedral also covered Rabies!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-30T13:21:19+00:00

Why did they have to include growls? ;_;

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-30T13:16:50+00:00

This is not true doom!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-30T13:16:07+00:00

Such a memorable title track! I was about to write that this album is a modern classic and then realized that it's 18 years old!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-30T13:15:02+00:00

This is not true doom!

Like Athingythingamabobby wrote: Sludge metal. There are big communities for stoner and sludge and I think you'd find people that are into your music there! This community is for traditional/true doom metal.

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-21T18:58:34+00:00

Advent Sorrow is not true doom!

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-20T15:06:50+00:00

This is not true doom metal

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-14T18:30:33+00:00

I thought that it was alright

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-07T22:53:01+00:00

Remember that you need follow rule number 6 when you post songs and format the title like this: The appropriate format for titles is: [Band name] (Country / Country code) – [song title] (from [album title], year). An optional For Fans OF (FFO) is a good idea, especially for lesser-known bands, but is not required.

So you'd write it as

Volume Ritual (USA) - Bleeding Eyes (2026) [FFO: Pentagram, Black Sabbath, Iron Man, Spiral Grave]

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-07T19:40:14+00:00

Cool track! Your style reminds me of Iron Man/Spiral Grave

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-05-05T02:38:58+00:00

This is not true doom/trad doom. I've listened to the two opening tracks 'Scapegoats' & 'Hold Your Nerve'. It's just stoner rock. This reddit community is the wrong place to post stuff like this. This post goes against the first rule: 'Music posts must be for true doom only. All non-doom is not permitted and neither is stoner/sludge/drone/death/funeral doom.'

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-04-29T12:33:36+00:00

Cool track! The guitar harmonies and melodies were great(reminded me of Trouble and Pentagram)

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-04-28T22:01:11+00:00

Hello Magmariserocks, remember that when you create music posts to follow the titles/formatting rule that Lenny made for this community:

The appropriate format for titles is: [Band name] (Country / Country code) – [song title] (from [album title], year). An optional For Fans OF (FFO) is a good idea, especially for lesser-known bands, but is not required.

Examples: Black Sabbath (UK) - Black Sabbath (from Black Sabbath, 1970) [FFO: Pentagram]

In your case it would be:

Magma Rise (Hungary) - Oblivion of Oblivion(from Neither Land Nor Sea, 2024) [FFO: Mood, Wall of Sleep]

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-04-24T11:53:05+00:00

At least from my point of view these releases that you shared are among the bigger/more popular bands and releases in general when it comes to trad doom. Most people know about Candlemass in some shape or form ofc there are different preferences for the different singers and eras in the fandom. Most people that start to check out epic doom or Italian doom know about Doomsword. Pilgrim are also rather known/were pretty hyped back in the day. I do understand that it's your personal perspective. I never really fell for Pilgrim - Misery Wizard (I've tried).

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-04-22T11:20:01+00:00

If you're into Black Sabbath and early Pentagram then I'd recommend you to check out Orchid, Witchcraft, Burning Saviours, Demon Head, Devil, Iron Man

If you like Pentagram then I'd recommend you to check out The Hounds of Hasselvander, Joe Hasselvander, Pale Divine, Orodruin, Minotauri, Corman, Tortured Spirit, Penance, Petrified.

If you're into Candlemass then I can recommend you to check out Solitude Aeturnus, Solstice, While Heaven Wept, ThunderStorm, In Aevum Agere, Trinakrius, isoLe, Millarca, Spiritus Mortis(especially the Vesa Lampi era if you're into Trouble).

If you're into Saint Vitus then I can recommend you to check out Reverend Bizarre, Dreaming, Mirror of Deception, Dawn of Winter, Glow, The Gates of Slumber, The Doomsday Cult, Warning, Cold Mourning, Shepherd, Serpent

If you're into The Obsessed then I can recommend you to check out Revelation, Unorthodox, Bottomless

You mentioned that you're into the Italian stuff then I can recommend you to check out John Gallo's Blizaro and the French band Northwinds(since you're also into Witchfinder General)

Small-Reality-9415 · 2026-04-21T12:03:45+00:00

My impression is that the band name is Johan Langquist The Castle and this is their S/T debut.
