A lot of bands have great debut albums. Obviously this list is just a fraction of all the great debut albums out there, but it's a start. I'll keep expanding this list continuously, so all suggestions are welcome. My favourite genres are Doom, Black and Gothic Metal, but I also like Progressive, Thrash and Death Metal. All albums on this list are at least worth an 8/10 rating. I included genres of each album as well.

1. 40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

2. Ablaze In Hatred - Deceptive Awareness

3. A Forest Of Stars - The Corpse Of Rebirth

4. After Forever - Prison Of Desire

5. Agalloch - Pale Folklore

I've added genres and my favourite songs.

1. After Forever - Decipher

2. Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

3. Agalloch - The Mantle

4. Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

5. Anathema - The Silent Enigma

A little list of albums that have been kicking my ass as of late. Some albums on this list may appear to be "odd" choices, but "crushing" in this context does not necessarily mean heavy. It could be referring to the emotional intensity of the release or the literal heavy pounding sound. Hope you enjoy.

1. Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma

2. Ahab - The Divinity Of Oceans

3. Agalloch - The Mantle

4. Warning - Watching From A Distance

5. Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All

Here is a list of my chosen top doom albums of all time. This is not the stereotypical doom that is used by people nowadays. Rather, the focus is on the true aspect of the music, i.e. feelings of gloominess and despair expressed in a hearty and beautiful manner through music, the music that evokes wonderful emotions! For true doom metal fans out there!!

1. Swallow The Sun - Hope

2. Swallow The Sun - New Moon

3. Slumber - Fallout

4. Mental Home - Black Art

5. Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion
