>>130255632Sabbath is doom metal
>>130256526No, doom metal is sabbath.
>>130255093Groove Metal era ended 1995 not 1997.
>>130256706Trendkill was 96
>>130256526Sabbath inventing Doom and being the only band that sounded like that in the mainstream of the 70s doesn't mean 70s was doom metal, if anything 70s metal was defined by shit like Led Zeppelin until the very end of the decade
>>130256728Yeah and it wasn't as influential as the previous ones and the biggest songs off it were hardly Groove Metal.
>>130255632>>130256526>>130256846While Black Sabbath and the heavier side of Psychedelic Rock all played instrumental roles in forging Doom Metal as a genre, "70s Doom" is a myth propagated by insolent music journalists and clever record distros looking to turn a profit on nostalgia. No active, touring, recording Doom bands existed in the '70s. Pentagram's early material tinkered with Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock and Heavy Metal and Bedemon's demos never reached a wider audience until they were bootlegged in the '80s. Doom Metal proper started in the '80s, a decade that bequeathed Tyrant (who later became Saint Vitus), Trouble, Death Row/Pentagram, Candlemass, Cirith Ungol, Witchfinder General and, for the sake of argument, Pagan Altar. These bands can be safely considered the origin of Doom Metal. The few obscure "Doom" bands (besides those affiliated with Candlemass and Iron Man) people name drop from the '70s lack so many of the qualities seen in the bigger bands.
>>130256846Zeppelin is hard rock. What little "real metal" there was pre-1978 was doom.
>>130257161Zeppelin was Heavy Psychedelic Blues just like Black Sabbath
>>130256879How do you know so much about music genres?
