Good Doom albums of 2016?

[paul545]

Haven't heard much doom from last year (or this year). Tried Khemmis and Subrosa and haven't really enjoyed either of those, though I liked Khemmis' previous album.

What newish doom have you guys enjoyed?

it's slim pickings. spiritus mortis is the most popular thing around here i think. the stone magnum, mountain witch, lord vicar, spirit adrift and altar of oblivion are worth hearing also.

@no country for old wainds asked this some weeks back, this is my reply to that:

You didn't like The Year Is One? I thought it was brilliant. I totally forgot about Lord Vicar though, I think I'll have to edit my Best of 2016 list.

Well, some other doom metal releases that came out that I really liked were Solstice's To Sol A Thane demo, Cardinals Folly's Holocaust Of Ecstasy & Freedom album, Blizaro's Cornucopia Della Morte album, Pallbearer's Fear & Fury EP, Cross Vault's Miles To Take EP, Garden Of Worm's Double Dose Of Doom Vol 2 was a cool little 7 inch record as well.

Also, this just came out.

While not being true doom metal, if you're a fan of Pagan Altar, you should check out Tarot's full length, Reflections. Its the ultimate Pagan Altar love letter.

With a fat dash of Uriah Heep to boot.
