You might as well ask me to do my top 10 black metal albums.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Are you trying to make my head explode on purpose?

 

[Black Winter Day]

Holy SHTI THAT ROOLS~!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

(with Black Sabbath out)
1. Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths Of Sorrow
2. Candlemass - Nightfall
3. Trouble - The Skull
4. Cathedral - The Ethereal Mirror
5. Solstice - New Dark Age
6. Pentagram - Day Of Reckoning
7. Count Raven - High On Infinity
8. Saint Vitus - Hallows Victim
9. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans
10. Memento Mori - Rhymes Of Lunacy

bonus album: While Heaven Wept - Of Empires Forlon (it would be number 10, but it is not exactly doom)

really, the 10 favs are 3 albums of SA, 4 from Candlemass etc .. but it had to be fair .

 

[JayKeeley]

So it's just assumed that Black Sabbath isn't allowed in these lists?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

yes probably
would the emperor be compared with his servants ?

 

[NAD]

A bunch of Sabbath
Some Cathedral I've never heard
Sunn - White1

I can't make this list without going through some stuff, I don't have a terrible amount of doom but what I do I like pretty equally.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I am going to gather my thoughts for this thread later on when I am settled. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the fact that BWD has David The Gnome in his signature. That fucking rules.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Yea I would definetly have ND's "The knowing" in mine. "Born Bleeding" from Earthcorpse. "Dawning" from Mindrot (I consider the album mostly doomish).

 

[J.]

I would have included Mindrot, but I didn't know if they're considered doom.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Warning - The Strength To Dream
Solstice - New Dark Age
Pentagram - Day of Reckoning
Reverend Bizarre - Into The Rectory of The Bizarre Reverend
Candlemass - Nightfall
Count Raven - Destruction of The Void
Orodruin - Epicurean Mass
Pagan Altar - Volume One
Saint Vitus - Saint Vitus
Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths Of Sorrow

No particular expect for #1

...godamn that was rough. There are so many more I can name and I am probably missing something too.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

ha man i dunno if i even own ten doom albums....reverend bizarre, katatonia, my dying bride...?

i was listening to the angel and the dark river the other day and thinking about how rarely mdb are discussed here





yes, i think about RC in the real world...all the time

Do you really rate Volume 1 that far over Lords of Hypocrisy?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Do you really rate Volume 1 that far over Lords of Hypocrisy?

Well, maybe, but Lords of Hypocrisy isn't really doom whereas Volume One is.

 

[JayKeeley]

Do you really rate Volume 1 that far over Lords of Hypocrisy?

Oh hell yes. (And LoH fucken rules, but that old old old school vibe on Volume One is just so....haunting).

 

[Krilons Resa]

Oh hell yes. (And LoH fucken rules, but that old old old school vibe on Volume One is just so....haunting).

Exactly, and I also believe that the production on LoH, if was more fuller sounding, would have tremendously helped it. And I, by NO fucking means, am a production nazi. But as stated, even with the production woes, it is still a phenomenal album. It just doesn't belong in this thread imho.
