I'm soweee, I forgot that the "Born in Blood" forum posters were working on the 1,160 rules of doom, and yes, it is epic, as there ARE more than 196 rules to doom, as doom shall rise. I stumbled upon the other rules of doom, and we shan't forget. As with all doom, the songs are epic, looong, and slooooow. So of course, to match the atmosphere of said genre of music, the rules of doom have reached a long, slow, epic record of density and miserable sounds capes.
So here we go, the EPIC 1,160 rules of doom, for Joey and Danny, whom won't stop bothering me until I post this. Reviews of ESOTERIC, PORTAL, NECROPHAGIST, BEST OF 2007 this week, and BEST of 2008 in a week I promise.
The 1,160 rules of doom from the BORN IN BLOOD FORUM (GLOOM AND DOOM):
197. Don't go looking for dog shit in the woods, it will find you.
198. Having stepped in a dog's turd, a doomster will see it as an inevitable event in their doomed life and resign themselves to the smell that follows them around rather than wipe it off.
199. Don't follow rules.

497. Within the mantra of #256 and #496 lies a Da Vinci code telling us that Doom Metal does not exist twice. Are there other dimensions where Doom Metal does not exist, or is it telling us “there is no such thing as no such thing as Doom Doom Metal". Unlocking the key to ‘Doom Doom Metal’ must become the holy grail of all doomsters seeking enlightenment.
498.
499. Wonder at the profoundness of rule #498, for within its empty blackness lies the infinite tracks of cold space and unimaginable nothingness that reduce our tiny speck of a universe to a singularity in the great scheme of things, and us with it. Even a dot[.] can’t beat this kind of emptiness.
Chapter VI
500. When you’ve collected a wealth of posts that collectively define your dot.com doom forum community, move, and throw them all away.
501. For all time, there will always be filth, mankind can never change.
502. Any list that has more than 503 rules in it is retarded.
503. The pain of enduring the Book of Doom Rules shall be endless.
504. Doom rules must be monolithic, just like the music… funny or not, they must.
505. The joke isn't funny anymore.
506. Lists of Doom Rules shall flow like bass drone, and send you running to the toilet in terror.
507. If it's too slow, you're too happy
508. The great unwashed hum at the alter of drone.
509. Tradition is a tedious riddle solved years ago.
510. A list of Doom rules is like good wine, it becomes tr00er and more doomed with age.
511. When you wake up, your wrists shall appear as if you tried to cut them with your bare hands while sleeping.
512. The above won't happen since you'll never wake up.
513. The above won't happen due to insomnia.
514. Listening to Doom is like making love to a beautiful woman… it makes you feel inadequate and often ends prematurely.
515. We are strangers in the night, on separate flights, going nowhere.
516. If you think Black Sabbath aren't doom go to rule 518.
517. Black Sabbath are doom
518. If you think Black Sabbath aren’t Stoner go rule 520.
519. Black Sabbath are Stoner.
520. If you think Black Sabbath are Heavy Rock go to rule 522.
521. Black Sabbath are Heavy Metal.
522. Argue the results of Doom rules 516 to 521 on internet forums until you win.
523. Don’t argue who is and who isn’t doom with a Power Meteller, or he will get his dad to put your dad in a cage and stab him with a sword.
524. Never underestimate the significance of a camel in doom metal.
525. Agonise over the meaning of rule 524 until you die.
526. Everything you have ever accomplished bears no significance.
527. Take pleasure in being right about being wrong all the time. It’s good to be right.
528. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.
529. Your favourite voltage is whatever it takes.
530. Oh brave Troo Doom, well she deserves that name. Disdaining fortune with her brandished steel, which smoked with bloody execution. Like valour’s minion, she carved out her passage till she faced the slave, the wretched untroo toadie, which ne’er shook hands, nor bade farewell, nor washed, till she freed him from the clutches of naves, into the circle of trooness and fixed the heads of the unrepentant upon her battlements. But the instruments of darkness have told truths which cannot be unsaid, stripping away her myths, destroying all. For when your Troo love swears that she is made of troo’th, you do believe her though you know she lies. She might think you some untutored youth, ignorant in the ways of the world, and you might vainly think that she desires your passion, but you know she knows you are past your best. Simply credit her false speaking tongue and on both sides thus is simple truth suppressed. For a slave and a follower is old in spirit and love's best disguise is the pretence of trust, and age in love loves not to have years told. Therefore say to her “I lie with you and you with me, and in our faults by lies we flattered be”.
531. No matter how doomed you think you are, there is always someone doomier than you.
532. If you find yourself surrounded by doomsters more doomier than you, then you're obviously not doing it right.
533. Doom walks before you.
534. Your neighbours walk beside you, but one covets your ox and the other covets your ass.
535. Death walks behind you.
536. God hates you.
537. The Doom’s Prayer: I have a dream that one day on the blooded red hills of the internet forums, the sons of stoner and the sons of the true will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the forums of these genres, desert forums sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and love. I have a dream that my three little children will one day live in a world where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the depth of their doom. I have a dream that one day the current police states of metal’s scenes, whose local leader’s lips, dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a place where the boys and girls of the terminally depressed and the angry young downer, will be able to join hands and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream! Let doom ring from every free spirit, young and old, against the falsehoods of good-time metal! Let doom ring from your headphones because nobody else will let you play it with them in the room! From every brewery and public house, let’s get drunk! – Amen.
538. If you can’t live together, live apart.
539. Forget Atkins, a Doom diet of depression, deprivation, drugs and death will help you lose those unsightly pounds that keep you alive.
540. One for the lads… Life’s a bitch, but not as big a bitch as your misses… and then you die.
541. A doom drummer will always buy a church bell before buying a new snare.
542. To get that Church-Bell-Tolling-In-The-Rain effect on stage, seed that dark cloud above your head with doubt.
543. Zero is your hero.
544. When you have a hangover it's harder to find the arteries.
545. There is no silence, the frequencies are merely too low for your pathetic human ears to discern.
546. If your ship of fools sinks on the ocean of doom, help your fellow humanity into your sinking lifeboat.
547. Strive to make yourself feel happy enough with life that the thought of death makes you miserable.
548. Let the smile on your face become the deadest thing, alive enough to have strength to die.
549. Buy your loved one some flowers, put them in a vase, then watch them die together.
550. Don't let matron catch you programming a drum machine in your bedroom, or she will make you wear boxing gloves at night.
551. Take one of the few sunny days you get a year off work, then spend it posting on an internet forum with the curtains closed.
552. Look to the early hours of the morning for musical inspiration. A powerful practice amp will help share your inspiration with your neighbours thus greatly improving your relationship with them.
553. When your 3 hour bedroom masterpiece of bowel moving drone death and despair is finally complete, turn up the volume and play it back with pride. In the morning ask your neighbours what they honestly thought of it.
554. When you're composing your new statement of doom, if you've got any friends left, you must call them day or night as soon as you get an idea.
555. The advantage of string instruments is that you can always recycle the strings for strangling yourself.
556. The sun is trying to kill you.
557. The advantage of continually looking over your shoulder is that you might not notice that six feet hole in the ground in front of you.
558. Stoner doomsters seek enlightenment, sludge doomsters seek a vein, progressive doomsters seek change, traditional doomsters don’t, troo doomsters seek elitism, drone doomsters seek the toilet in terror, gothic doomsters seek the beauty in a dying rose, ambient doomsters seek the mist, death doomsters seek an end, funeral doomsters seek a beginning.
559. Doom is knowing you are never going to find what you seek.
560. If doom be a storm at sea with monolithic waves of sub-genres that crash upon the beach of life, then let each doom rule be but a grain of sand on that beach, a beach where doomsters can build their sandcastles of hope and ambition along the waters edge, and pack up their beach towels, buckets and spades at the end of the day and retire to oblivion, leaving only their footprints.
561. Doom is seeing your beloved doom albums placed in the wrong sub-doom genre categories in 'doom special' magazine articles, and knowing there is nothing you can do about it.
562. Doom is wanting something to last forever, knowing that it won’t.
563. Doom is wanting something to end, knowing it will last forever.
564. Doom is the canvass on which lives are painted. Art galleries are the mental hospitals where they are hung.
565. Doom is realizing your insignificance.
566. Before you get the plumber in to fix that gurgling drain, make sure it’s not a ‘My Shameful’ album playing in the other room.
567. Boredom can be pretty boring but it remains the path to doom.
568. Sometimes the road less travelled is less travelled for a reason.
569. Breathing faster than once an hour may cause hyperventilation and panic attacks.
570. Listening to Funeral Doom may cause hypoventilation and death.
571. Do not despair, writing page-long profound and witty come-backs on forum boards then losing them to a posting error, can only help you transcend into a higher level of posting.
572. The more knowledge you gain of the nature of doom, the less you really know what it is.
573. If you’re too depressed to be depressed, then you must be really depressed.
574. Choke on the bitter nuclear dust of utter desolation and hear the echoing cries of futile, worthless existences crushed.
575. Embrace the emptiness. For reasons see rule #104.
576. If they thought you were slow at school, they should see you now.
577. To be or not to be, that is the question. Do I owe anyone enough to suffer the shit that life throws at me, or should I do something about it once and for all, and by my death say “Enough is Enough”. But what if in my sleep of death I should dream, and by the pain I leave behind for others to endure, my dreams turn to an eternity of nightmares. O horror, could the pain be worse, worse than the scorns and judgements? Worse than the way I am looked down upon until I look down on myself? Worse than the injustice in the world, my wearisome job, my wearisome life? Worse than my cursed love that makes everyone I share it with despised me? Oh, to be or not to be, that is the question.
578. Conscience makes cowards of us all.
579. The road to compiling the list of doom rules shall be long and arduous, but not as long and arduous as reading them.
580. There is the same infinite number of nothingnesses between any two points as there are an infinite number of infinitely small somethings. This probably means something.
581. There is an infinite number of infinitely small somethings between two people, regardless of how close they think they are to each other. This probably means something as well.
582. To travel through the infinite number of infinitely small somethings that lie in a single footstep would take eternity, which is why stoner doomsters appear to walk so slowly.
583. True doomsters who come home early from work and catch their wife listening to My Dying Bride must divorce them immediately on the grounds of infidelity.
584. Listening to extreme Death Doom is like making love to a pot noodle. It leaves you feeling dirty with a nasty taste in your mouth.
585. Push away those you love until they do the same to you.
586. We’re all dying, some faster others.
587. Give me a skin to dance in and a coffin to rot in.
588. Doom is not being happy with what you have to be happy with.
589. Batwatism (Born Again Twatism) is the first time you realised your father’s ignorance really was ignorance, not what you thought was ignorance because you were ignorant.
590. Most of the time you can read a book by its cover.
591. Most of the time beauty is only skin deep.
592. Doom is taking 5 minutes to tie your shoelaces, so don't attempt 14 eyelet boots unless you have a week to spare.
593. "Most pleasures follow the pattern of the joke, a cheap pleasure that one can enjoy by sticking a bare leg out from under the covers on a cold winter's night, then pulling it back in. What good is a long life to us if it is hard, joyless and so full of suffering that we can only welcome death as a deliverer?" - Sigmund Freud
594. Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer demoniacal hints of truth
595. Even the latest god moves in strange ways.
596. It's never too late for an early grave.
597. Test how low you can go by doing the limbo dance of doom under the bar of your expectations.
598. Life is not valuable simply because if exists.
599. Doomsters put the Fun in Funeral.

646. Have a Doctor standing by to administer first aid to any Thrash or Power metellers who might accidentally wandered into one of your doom gigs. If you can arrange for someone to catch them as they pass out from boredom it would keep the doctor workload down enormously.

667. Don't confuse Gloom and Doom with Glum and Dumb

885. If you are trad doom, wear humongous crosses not unlike those of rappers around your neck, but still write lyrics that are at best indifferent towards Christianity.
886. Never die with your boots on. Rigor mortis can be a bitch when you're being dressed up for your funeral.

Chapter X
Image
900. Check the guy calling you a downloading thief isn’t a music executive or his shopkeeping lackey before taking him too seriously, and then check he hasn’t had his hand in your wallet.
901. Be a rock, be an island.
902. A rock feels no pain and an island never cries.
903. No Money. No Ego. No Power.
904. Doom is the new downer
905. "O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day!
Most lamentable day. Most woeful day
That ever, ever I did yet behold!
O day, O day, O day! O hateful day!
Never was seen so black a day as this.
O woeful day! O woeful day!"
906. Regret regretting things.
907. The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
908. Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time. It is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
909. It’s never too early to start work on that suicide note.
910. Forgiveness is not an option.
911. Doom is the anticipation of the inevitable.
912. All fled, all done, so lift me up on the pyre. The past is over and the lamps expire.
913. If your band is truly underground then there’s no such thing as a disappointing gig turnout.
914. Disappointment at a low gig turnout suggests mainstream aspirations.
915. Better to discover your cult leader is a fraud late, than not discover it at all.
916. Slavery is doom. Sign your band up with a record label now.
917. Make the most of your regrets. . . they are all you have.
918. Fear the future, weep for the past.
919. Life is finding a way to get rid of it
920. Life is the prcess of dying
921. Life is penetrating reality and realising nothing is the answer to all
922. Life is like my beer glass, empty.
923. Looking forward to things leads to disappointment.
924. Within the storms of burning hate, lies the destiny of the false.
925. The kettle's on, the summer’s gone, it’s another day.
926. The only note the music industry understand is a money note
927. That which we are, we are, made weak by time and fate, weak in will, we strive to seek, to find, and but only when answers lie on the path of least resistance.
928. Life's a Bummer.
929. Life is like a game of Tetris; you can't win but you keep on playing anyway
930. Don’t wish you had the answer, you won’t like it.
931. Long, long ago, in the ancient texts of the Doom’s Da Vinci code, a hyphen was used to identify the fakes and phoneys. Traitors to Metal were labelled Nu-Metallers, traitors to Doom Metal were labeled Doom-Metallers. Today, this hidden message remains unknown to the false. Some Internet forums still carry the hyphen of shame without even knowing its meaning. Avoid those marked with the hyphen, they are the damned. Thou hast been warned.
932. Phoney -> a hypocrite, a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives, bogus, fraudulent, having a misleading appearance, to be false, to be marked with the sign of the hyphen.
933. Don't be a phoney.
934. The grand essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love and something to hope for. The grand essential of doom is the realisation that all the above are irrelevant.
935. Anne Frank said "We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same". How doom is that!
936. Happiness comes when your work and words of doom open the eyes of others so that they may see that there is no such thing as happiness.
937. For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to regret being born;
A time to plant, and a time to smoke the plant;
A time to kill, and a time to die;
A time to break down, and a time to gaze into the abyss;
A time to weep, and a time to despair;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance the dance of death;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to fill your pockets with them;
A time to embrace, and a time to see through the embrace;
A time to seek, and a time to realise there is nothing worth seeking;
A time to keep, and a time to throw everything you've kept dear away;
A time to tear, and a time to accept the tear;
A time to let things pass, and a time not to;
A time to pretend to love, and a time to give up pretense,
A time for gloom, and a time for doom, so put on Skepticism, close the curtains, and open the whiskey.
938. When you are a teenager, you are in the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear the phone is for you.
939. Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family as far away as possible.
940. That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.
941. If you wish to be single, play some Tyranny when making out with your girlfriend.
942. To be a Doomster is to be an outsider looking in.
943. For 3 days after death finger nails continue to grow, but phone calls tail off.
944. Life is a woeful ballad whistled to a mistress’s eyebrow
945. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.
946. Life is like a wild flower, it flourishes until it is trodden on.
947. Love is like a bowl of freshly cut petunias, the desire to possess it, kills it.
948. Doomsters that can't grow beards should make up for it by not shaving their legs.
949. The only thing that makes reality is death, then they hang it on a cross, knee down and pray to it.
950. Our lives aren't real and don't have any lasting meaning.
951. Sewing patches on jackets is best left to boy scouts.
952. Selling patches to sew on jackets is best left to shopkeepers.
953. For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
954. Under the Spreading Chestnut tree, I sold you, and you sold me.
955. At all times thou shalt gravitate towards grimness.
956. Manic Depressive Doomsters when not feeling suicidal, shalt be awesome.
957. Set yourself low standards, then fail to live up to them.
958. The Lone Wolf belongs in the wilderness.
959. A Funeral Doomster is someone who knows that our lives are made by the deaths of others.
960. A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.
961. Black is NOT a colour.
962. Doom rules are Doom.
963. Doom can be fast.
964. But fast Doom is a lie.
965. Doom is a lie.
966. We are a lie.
967. We'll all die.
968. But Doom never dies.
969. The disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall off the cone onto the pavement does not diminish with age.
970. Tell that guy in the mirror not to waste your time.
971. For some, suicide is a means of escape, for others it's a means of good riddance.
972. Doomed Goats are cool. Billy Goats are gruff.
973. He who is unable to live in society, or has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
974. I say again (see doom rule 958)... the lone wolf belongs in the wilderness
975. Be a lone wolf.
976. All elements preserve and destroy. Only in water that has become solid and hard as stone will everything be turned into eternal pillars of salt where life is barely possible.
977. Just because your dad owned a Black Sabbath vinyl, don't go thinking you are cult, you are not.
978. Press one copy of your new Doom album and place it in a time capsule with a million year release latch on so no one will ever hear it. Anything less is False Doom.
979. Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
980. The believer is happy, the doubter is wise.
981. Talk Nonsense, but talk your own nonsense. To go wrong in your own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
982. Without lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom
983. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. Our virtues would be proud were they not whipped by our faults, and would we not cherish our virtues were they not soured by our crimes?
984. Doom is knowing how to pronounce "Khanate"
985. Suicide is the exaltation of surrender.
986. Life is the slowest of suicides.
987. Death is nature's way of telling you to slow down
988. Life is nature's way of telling you to drop dead.
989. Hell is a closet you are stuck inside.
990. Despair is the antidote to Action.
991. Doom is not just for Christmas.
992. Life is a mixture of inspiration, perspiration, and desperation.
993. A dream is a lie if it doesn't come true.
994. Doom is too slow for those who seek instant gratification. Doom too fast for those who don’t.
995. Doom is too long for those who want to move on to the next thing. Doom too short for those for whom Doom is their home.
996. Above all, we must abolish hope in the heart of man. A calm despair, without angry convulsions, without reproaches to Heaven, is the essence of wisdom.
997. Doom is the essence of slowness and slowness is the essence of wisdom, for everything that slows us down, forces patience and sets us back into the slow circles of nature. Thus Gardening is the embodiment of Doom.
998. In Doom, BPM stands for Beats Per Millennium
999. In Funeral Doom BPM also stands for Bereavements Per Minute.

1000. That which is not dead is not always alive, yet the living know not that they are dead, nor the dead know that they are living.
1001. A doomster should die when he should, a troo doomster should die when he can.
1002. Death has ten thousand doors for men to take.
1003. Life ends with a whimper
1004. Life ends with a sigh
1005. Life ends with a final breath of regret
1006. Suicide is a means of escape from the world and its tortures and therefore it is good.
1007. Suicide is an ever-present refuge for the weak, the weary and the hopeless. It is the greatest of all blessings which Nature gives to man, and one which even God himself lacks, for he could not compass his own death, even if he wished it.
1008. Man must learn to die at the right time.
1009. The possibility of easy and painless self-destruction is the only thing that constantly and considerably relieves the horror of human life.
1010. To be truly true, the truly false must call you false.
1011. The Mob Rules whether you listen to fools or not.
1012. No matter how fast your computer runs, you will eventually come to think of it as slow. No matter how fast you live your life, it will eventually cease to satisfy.
1013. The slower the fruit ripens, the sweeter the fruit. Doom is the sweetest of all fruits.
1014. Civilisation is the process of learning to kill humanly
1015. Life is a show that must go on… and on… and on… and on… and on...
1016. Reincarnation is a replay of every mistake you ever made.
1017. Great men suffer hours of depression through introspection and self-doubt. That is why they are great. That is why you will find modesty and humility the characteristics of such men.
1018. Life is a Doom song that lasts for how long it lasts.
1019. Depression is rage spread thin
1020. Depression is anger without enthusiasm
1021. And the living shall envy the dead.
1022. Doom is darker than black.
1023. Doom is the new Black
1024. Death Doomsters stare into the abyss, Funeral Doomsters stare into the grave, Stoner Doomsters just stare.
1025. When words are no better than silence, a wise man shuts the fuck up.

1034. If you have integrity nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.
1035. Let the world slide, let the world go, a fig for care and a fig for woe. If I can't pay, then I can owe, and let death make equal the high and the low.
1036. Follow the smoke to the riff filled land.
1037. The world is a dull and dark place, a dreary and doomed dimension corrupted by the pitiful presence of mankind, corroded by greed, spite, malice, dishonesty, confusion, deceit, hate, and just pure fucking horrible human behaviour. We are lower than any other animal, weighed down by delusions of self-importance and distracted by constant struggles towards some concept of of power and status. We are truly, undeniably pathetic.
1038. The truest of venues to play are pubs where no one goes unless there’s a band on and no one ever tells anyone when a band is on.
1039. The truest pubs are painted black, have low lighting and look closed from the outside.
1040. Never advertise you are playing a true pub.
1041. Never go in a true pub unless you are so true it hurts.
1042. Heroes often fail.
1043. You won't read that book again because the ending's just too hard to take.
1044. Never mind.

1059. All Doom Rules are true, except the ones that mean the complete opposite.
1060. Lovely in death her beauteous ruin lay, for pity swells the tide of love.
1061. Stoner Rock and Doom are two sides of the same coin. You can't have darkness without light, you can't have life with death, you can't have a Ying without a Yang.
1062. Grotesque is beautiful in a way prettiness can never be.
1063. Greed is not greed if it is divinely sanctioned
1064. Doom may be gloriously exhilaratingly gloomy, but gloom is exhilaratingly gloriously doomy.
