The Slow Death

There are two bands called The Slow Death. 1) Country-tinged punk rock from Minneapolis. Ex-members of Pretty Boy Thorson & The Falling Angels, The Ergs!, and Rest of Us. On tour forever. 2) Melodic death doom metal from Blue Mountains, Australia with both male and female vocals formed by Stuart Prickett (mastermind of Elysium and Stone Wings) in 2007. Their style is ultra slow Doom Death with melodic riffs, powerful deep growls, grandiose female vocals, and tragical lyrics.

Ixion

1)Ixion is an atmospheric funeral doom band : Ixion was born in 2004 when Julien Prat started to work on his own compositions. During three years, he writes several tracks from a dark and atmospheric music to a more classical doom metal. Six tracks are finally selected for the first demo, which combines the doom and atmospheric sides, as well as some electronic and symphonic elements.
From that point, Ixion's music can be linked with some funeral doom and gothic/doom metal bands, with a particular work on keyboards and ambient soundscapes.

Artist Type: 

Pantheist

Mournful doom metal with ethnic and progressive overtones and a heavy dose of melancholy. The extensive use of atmospheric keyboards, various organ sounds and chanted vocals (although a lot of the vocals are grunted) creates a solemn, mystical atmosphere on many tracks. The music also incorporates many metal riffs as well as faster and more aggressive interludes.
