4. Skepticism "Stormcrowfleet"
5. Skepticism "Aes"
6. Anathema "Pentecost ]|["
7. Katatonia "Sounds of Decay"
8. Candlemass "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus"
9. Evoken "Embrace the Emptiness"
10. Paradise Lost "Gothic"

Your turn!

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 .

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

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.
