Aha Yes, I encounter a lot of people who don't like doom metal for the same reasons. I love the sheer weight of it, it has an immensity I get from few other types of music.
Pat Walker has amazing vocals, and their first album was a little more up-beat, but I don't think another kind of music would capture his raw emotion in the way the simplicity of Warning does it. Although his newer band 40 Watt Sun is supposed to be comparably heavy. That whole album, Watching From A Distance, is pretty much the same sort of tempo, it's relentless! I couldn't even complete it the first time I listened to it, it floored me and triggered such deep emotions I had to stop halfway through and take a break.
