Chick Doom? - You mean dark growly vocals with a touch of atmospheric sweet female vocals, I love it when black / doom metal does that, it brings atmoshpere and mood to the song.
Also I don;'t need to 'checkout' because My Dying Bride is also another favourite.
Check out Candlemass if you can, another "tr00 d00m" band, infact I think they influenced MDB.
and I said chick doom because the new album The Pale Haunt Departure has them toning down the death growls and going in a more...commercial direction. which I don't like.
No; "The Pale Haunt Departure was aimed to be more atmospheric" says Paul Kehr (vocalist), and I think the band suceeded greatly, as for the commerical direction statement, I'm not sure how you can say that - Noverabers Doom goes way out of the mainstream and into its own droney music type.
Can't say you would know any if you haven't heard of the ones already mentioned.
Do check out Sleep, Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Cathedral and Electric Wizard for some good doom metal. None of this backstreet boys crap Shootingstar would have you listen to
