Can't speak for the first 2, but for the other 2 it depends what you want I guess.

Paradise Lost, I prefer 'Host', but given your list of bands I would actually recommend you avoid that one. I reckon "Draconian Times" would be the way to go, just make sure you avoid "Believe In Nothing" like the plague.

MDB again have some variation. I would recommend "The Dreadful Hours" strongly. But if you like doomy stuff, then it'll probably all appeal to you. Aaron Stainthorpe's clean vocals are a bit shite sometimes though.

What he said. ^

"Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium" is an EP that can be hard to find nowdays. However, it's included in the box-set "The Stories" and the compilation album "Trinity". If you can find any of those, it's worth the trouble.

For Paradise Lost, however, I'd say "Gothic" and "Shades of God". My personal favorite is "Host", but as Liquid Diamonds said, I wouldn't recommend them to you. On that album they sounded more like Depeche Mode than Depeche Mode did themselves during that time period.

Thanks everyone. I think I've definitely decided on Epicus Doomicus Metallicus and Nightfall for Candlemass. For Mourning Beloveth, I'm not really sure if Dust or Murderous Circus are better than The Sullen Sulcus, but I'll trust everyone's judgement on TSS. Thanks again everyone.

I won't comment on the other bands (haven't listened to them much, doom isn't quite my thing), but from MDB I'd recommend The Dreadful Hours and Turn Loose the Swans.
