Mz's Favorite Records Of Drone And Related Genres


Still not finished, as I need to rearrange, check the links and also go through the genres again. I might have forgotten many good records. In addition, my knowledge of early industrial movement is very limited, so the list is lacking on that front. Many albums on the list might also not be considered drone in a traditional sense of the word, but they need the same sort of aesthetic appreciation I guess, so I included them. The most important criteria is that the albums should rely extensively on texturing, buildup, and musical landscapes rather that being riff based.

This list needs some Double Leopards, Robedoor, Necro Deathmort, Barn Owl, (maybe) SINK, Black Boned Angel, Lotus Eaters, Æthenor, Wrekmeister Harmonies, and Natural Snow Buildings. Nice list though! I know like half of these bands so I'll have to check some stuff out.

haha man right. All those bands are needed to be here.
I assume there are many more drone records that can be on the list, too. It is just hard to keep track of everything relevant given how diverse the whole drone thing has become.
