Best Doom Metal releases of the 2000's

[Master_Yoda77]

As a complete whole, yes. the S/T has a few clunkers on the album such as "Endurement to the Heirs of Shame" and "Grim Reality" and to a lesser extent "Hex of Harm." It also has some of their best work like "Missing Girl"

 

[Vilden]

I'm doing the list later but Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend is without a doubt #1.

More that will fit in that you all forgot :

While Heaven Wept - Of Empires Forlorn
Fall of the Idols - The Womb of the Earth
Forsaken - Iconoclast
Mirror of Deception - Foregone

I remember Ritualist being almost a carbon copy of the S/T..but I don't really think there are clunkers on the debut anyways

[Oblivious Maximus]

In retrospect I feel like a bit of a cunt for including Wormphlegm but not Tyranny. Tides of Awakening is an immensely powerful, at times even overwhelming album. Top-tier "extreme" doom for sure.

*Edit* Tweaked my initial list and said fuck off to my one album per band restriction. The more the merrier.

 

[CiG]

@cook-ta I'd much prefer to see you challenge yourself and combine both lists, all sub-genres, into one list, forcing you to make hard choices.

 

[Krow]

alright here I go... no order really. 1 album per band.


Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Bloodlust
Pagan Altar - Lords of Hypocrisy
Blood Ceremony - S/T
Abysmal Grief - S/T
Black Oath - The Third Aeon
Magister Templi - Lucifer Leviathan Logos
Candlemass - Death Magic Doom
Hour of 13 - S/T
Gates of Slumber - Hymn of Blood and Thunder
Argus -Boldly Stride the Doomed
Church of Misery - Houses of the Unholy
The Lamp of Thoth - Portents, Omens, and Dooms
Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush the Insects
Electric Wizard - Black Masses
Eyehategod - Confederacy of Ruined Lives
Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops
Witch - S/T
Conan - Monnos
Indian - The Unquiet Sky
Great Coven - Viaticum

Uncle Acid is pretty much dominating an entire sub genre of doom by themselves.

 

[CiG]

Within that Uncle Acid style of doom metal/punk/rock I also quite like Alucarda man.

 

[suckerleaf]

Kite String came out in 94.

 

[Vilden]

Btw guys, am I the only one who prefer Argus - s/t to Boldly Strides the Doomed?

 

[CiG]

Actually it was a very close call for me, I usually prefer self titled but I guess right now I was feeling differently about it. Any love for Beyond The Martyrs would be much more interesting to see.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Beyond the Martyrs is perfectly fine and worthy of praise.

 

[Krow]

Kite String came out in 94.

I have no idea why I included that. I blame alcohol.

 

[suckerleaf]

Seems legit.

Tough call between stoner and trad. Went the former because trad gets plenty of love here.

Contrarian filth.

 

[Omni]

I'll have to do this soon.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Nice thread! Out with my fam but I'll get back to this when I'm home.
