I clearly need to explore this kind of music more.

Katatonia - Brave Murder Day
Katatonia - Dance of December Souls

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Warning - Watching From a Distance
Solitude Aeturnus - Through the Darkest Hour

[mutantllama]

I'm too lazy to think of one now but Epicus Doomicus Metallicus and Master of Reality are both in the top 4.

 

[Einherjar86]

Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath- Master of Reality
Skepticism- Stormcrowfleet
Candlemass- Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Pagan Altar- Mythical and Magical (although I've yet to hear the first two in their entirety)

 

[ASD]

Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Empyrium - Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields
Skepticism - Lead And Aether
Solstice - New Dark Age
Warning - Watching From A Distance

 

[Krow]

A few of these might be taking a bit of a liberty but I feel they're doom...

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics
Type O Negative - Slow, Deep and Hard
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
The Lamp of Thoth - Portents, Omens, and Doom

Gah... choosing 5 was really hard... Relentless, Born Too Late, Tyranny - Tides of Awakening, and diSEMBOWELMENT were painfully hard to leave off that list.

 

[byrne]

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation
Pentagram - Day of Reckoning
Pagan Altar - Volume 1

first 3 are definite, the other two ... probably. Saint Vitus, Skepticism, Solitude Aeternus, Trouble, My Dying Bride etc could have made it in on other days.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Good to see lots of candlemass and warning.

 

[sevag00]

Katatonia - Dance of December Souls
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
Lamented Souls - The Origins of Misery
Pagan Altar - Mythical and Magical
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness, Words of Light

 

[no country for old wainds]

cirith ungol - king of the dead

warning - watching from a distance
rev bizarre - in the rectory
solstice - new dark age

 

[Rumpole]

Saint Vitus - Hallow's Victim

[CF87]

Trad:

Cathedral `Forest of Equilibrium, Cosmic Requiem E.P.
Solitude Aeturnus `Through The Darkest Hour.
Candlemass `Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Pentagram `S/T(Relentless)

Extreme/Other

Anathema `Pentecost III.
Morgion `Solinari.
Evoken `Embrace The Emptiness.
Paradise Lost `Gothic.
Katatonia `Brave Murder Day.

Orphanage `Oblivion almost made my 'Extreme' list, I consider the album a lost 'gem'.

There's other albums I wanted to include, oh well.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Well

Trouble - Psalm 9
Candlemass - EDM
Candlemass - Nightfall
Trouble - Trouble

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

And the only reason the Argus s/t isn't on here is because I put them under trad metal, not doom.

Cool, well I find them quite doomy and certainly awesome.

 

[Krow]

Well since most everyone went with just trad doom... I'll change my list a bit.

Trad:
Candlemass - EDM
The Lamp of Thoth - P,O,&D
Reverend Bizarre - II: Crush the Insects
Pentagram - Relentless
Saint Vitus - Born Too Late

Non-trad
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Moondark - The Shadowpath (I know some people call this "doomy death metal" but I have to mention it anyway)
Type O Negative - Slow, Deep and Hard
Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics
Paradise Lost - Lost Paradise/diSEMBOWELMENT/Tyranny - Tides of Awakening

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Reverend Bizarre - II: Cruch the Insects

A glorious album.
