Top 10 Doom albums

[Psychonaut]

No mention of Bethlehem in here. S.U.I.Z.I.D. is a killer album!

So who is going to own up for this failure?

 

[Carcassian]

With my only rule being I can only pick one album per band:

(In no order)

Trouble - Psalm 9
Cathedral - Carnival Bizarre
Paradise Lost - Shades of God
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty *waaaaah, it's not doom, waaaaah*
Pentagram - relentless
Reverend Bizarre - 2: Crush the Insects
Iron Monkey - Our Problem
Isole - Bliss of Solitude
TPOG - Primula Pestis
Anathema - Silent Enigma
Solstice - New Dark Age

Fuck, I forgot Candlemass - Nightfall. Bollocks.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Every Cathedral album.

 

[Life Sucks]

No mention of Bethlehem in here. S.U.I.Z.I.D. is a killer album!

So who is going to own up for this failure?

I do not consider them doom. Otherwise they would be on my list. But IMO Dark Metal and Dictius Te Necare are better than S.U.I.Z.I.D. Too bad that they got all gay and stopped playing metal.

can't keep at ten

Heh That's why I limited to one album for each band on lists like this. Otherwise it can just get silly.

 

[sevag00]

This thread already shows that I don't have enough Doom in my collection

03. Pentagram - Day of Reckoning
04. Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation

[Carcassian]

Can someone explain please why Pagan Altar are held in such high regard around here, when all I hear is an extremely mediochre old band ?

 

[skeptik]

No, because I would be wasting my time if I did trying to convert an Anthrax fan.

I'm disappointed in you, I thought more from a fellow Megadeth hater.

HOW DARE YOU MIX ELECTRIC WIZARD WITH PENTAGRAM YOU SACRILEGIOUS SWINE!

Heheh.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Yeah, since stoner doom and traditional doom have absolutely NOTHING in common.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I was just joking around, I hope no one is going to seriously consider starting that shit again

 

[Zephyrus]

Black Metal is an incredibly diverse genre. Why can't doom metal be as well?

 

[Belligerent]

Also Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion

Novembers Doom - The Pale Haunt Departure
Type O Negative - October Rust
Black Sabbath - Vol.4
