On Doom-Metal.com they have a debate about "the most prefect funeral doom metal album ever". Might interest some of you. Check it out HERE

Interesting debate. The one thing that stands out to me is some of these folks saying that Esoteric isn't Funeral Doom :erk::ill: Come on now, WTF? People seem to have vastly differing opinions on what makes a band FD, but if Esoteric ain't it, then something just ain't quite right.
 
Depressed Mode announcement
The new album that will be released in February 2009 needs
clarification:

The genre of the new album is “symphonic death/doom metal” not just
funeral or doom.
Our music can no longer be described as “funeral doom” cause it’s not. We
got one funeral doom like song in the album. It’s the title track of the
album “..for death”.
We announce this because we don’t want to mislead any true doomster to buy
our cd and be disappointed to the new album cause it was not only funeral
doom, or even doom.
The album is for any metalhead in the world.
We uploaded a “album sampler” on our myspace site -
http://www.myspace.com/depressedmodedoom - so go and check it out so you
can hear for yourself.
The album still got some doom elements, but the new material has driven us
to the death/doom metal scene, and we got symphonic elements in it.
“..for death” shows you the way we are heading to, so if you are into any
genre of metal, it’s easy for you to follow us!

- Ossy Salonen, Voice from below
The Finnish release date for "...For Death" album is 04.02.2009, with
European wide release in April 2009 via Firedoom Music/Firebox Records.

im not sure if these guys were mentioned, but Ahab are in my opinion the best doom band on earth (they fairly loosely fit into "funeral doom") even though they are fairly new.
they are responsible for getting me into doom metal in the first place.

go listen to "the hunt" on their myspace

O Solitude re-issue available by the band

The re-issue of our debut album, complete with majestic new artwork by Cheryl Pinnock, is now available from the band. Follow the instructions on our site to order your copy. We still have some copies left from our latest album 'Journey Through Lands Unknown', but it looks like we will sell them out at the upcoming gigs, so grab your copy while you can. We have been told by Firebox records that Amartia and JTLU are due for a reissue as well some time soon, in that chronological order. The artwork files for JTLU will be adjusted to avoid darker hues at the printing.

Working on new tracks

We are currently working on tracks for our new album. Some of them will be tested live in the gigs to come. The new material promises to be multifaceted and intense, as usual. It doesn't lack in the usual twists and turns either. There are also preliminary talks with our friends from Gallileous and Dissolving of Prodigy for the tentative release of a 4-way split that would feature one contribution from Pantheist.
More news about this as soon as something can be confirmed.

Vinyl

Plans to have our albums released on vinyl by Firebox records have been abandoned due to the unfavourable economic climate. We are still hoping to have released all of our albums on vinyl at some point in the future. The band also holds the rights for the vinyl release of O Solitude, so any label that is interested to release this album, please contact the band.

Shape Of Despair
Stabat Mater
The Howling Void

.....etc

and plz guyz, dont confuse funeral doom with other sub-genres of doom metal.. coz i see here some of doom metal bands not related to funeral doom genre lik : My dying bride, Mourning Beloveth...etc

Nice topic \m/
 
Already mentioned, but Mournful Congregation, Worship and Stabat Mater works best for me. Stabat Mater is quite harsh and non melodic compared to MC or even Worship, but especially the self titled track is really good. I think Doooom by Worship is the best funeral doom-album made.
