Doom Recommendations

Autopsy certainly have a great doom influence in their slow riffs, but they're not a doom band in any way. Not even a death/doom one. Similarily, Torchure sometimes hit AMAZING slow parts, but not every slow part in a metal song is a doom part.

The most consistent Reverend Bizarre release is definetely In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend. It's godly. From there on it's pretty much hit and miss, but always with some great songs. Harbinger of Metal never did that much for me, Crush the Insects had mostly good material with a few boring cuts. The last one had the immortal "Anywhere out of this World" and some other strong songs as well but to much filler material IMO.

Reverend Bizarre also had some great tracks on their EP's and split releases as well, "Blood on Satan's Claw" and "Children of Doom" come to mind.

Well, about Autopsy, I think they have nothing to do with the subgenre called "Death/Doom" but I think they're much closer to classic doom than the bands playing that style. But I'm only talking about the Mental Funeral album, the others are different.
And about Reverend, I think the Thulsa Doom EP was amazing, but I feel they always had too much filler, ponitless repetitions and unecessary slow parts in their longer releases. Still a good band though, just not the best.
