I haven�t been a devoted doom metal fan since the mid-nineties but some of my favorites are:
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
Confessor - Condemned
Cathedral - The Ethereal Mirror
Paradise Lost - Gothic
Trouble - Psalm 9
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness ( kind of borderline, but I guess this one can be justified) ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Candlemass - King of the Grey Islands / From the 13th Sun (weird picks I know) Solitude Aeturnus - Adagio My Dying Bride - As the flower withers Paradise Lost - Shades of God Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood (bit of a stretch maybe) Spiritual Beggars - Ad Astra (doom-fun!) Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones Celtic Frost - Monotheist |

The easy answer would be the Candlemass plus Solitude Aeturnus albums. To keep it restricted to one album per band: Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond the Crimson Horizon Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath/Masters of Reality (can't decide right now) Paradise Lost - Icon Memento Mori - Rhymes of Lunacy Cathedral - Carnival Bizarre Memory Garden - Mirage Confessor - Condemned Solstice - New Dark Age Pentagram - Relentless From the top of my head. Not my absolute favourite genre but I have some real favourite bands in it... ------------- 42 |

Confessor - Condemned  One of the most unique doom metal albums out there. Because of the extremely high pitched vocals Confessor are usually a love them or hate them act though. It�s not very often you�ll come across a technical doom metal album.------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Heh! Never had a problem with high pitched vocals myself! (read, I am a huge fan of King Diamond, Sanctuary, Crimson Glory, Toxik, Watchtower etc, etc). Only other progressive (this tech metal side of things) doom that I can think of is actually Memento Mori. Especially, Life, Death and Other Morbid Tales. Heathendom! There's another awesome metal epic btw! Any Memento Mori fans? (how about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCkhmOD_Bhk" rel="nofollow - now? ;) ) ------------- 42 |

I don't listen to much Doom. My only contributions here will be the two albums I've heard right through. Argus - Boldly Stride the Doomed (I added these guys to trad, but with further listening I'm wondering if doom might not be the better fit after all) Draconian - Turning Season Within ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Hello! I waited for you to write here. You know why. Coffin Joe.  Unfortunately you don't have a funeral doom/black metal or a doom/death metal album in your list. Thank you for your reply. ------------- Inexistence is the true normality. |

Most of that list is what we tend to call sludge metal, which is related to doom but not exactly. Also, it's better than doom metal

Here are some of my favorites (I've refrained from ranking them) - as you can see, I have a preference for old school doom metal:                   -------------

It did say subgenres. Guess I just have a sweet spot for sludge/stoner metal  I still think the list is within the topic - Ahh.. maybe I went overboard with High on Fire, and Funeral + Candlemass should have been on the list. |

I'd say HoF is closer to doom than Neurosis. They were actually listed as doom on this site until fairly recently when I moved them |

Yep I originally put them in doom because of their stoner tendencies ( stoner goes to doom on MMA), but I�m OK with having them in Sludge/ Post. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |
