Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics... Doom metal is probably the best option to get to sleep, and this one especially is a great choice. Repetitive and hypnotic riffs, heavy production, long tracks, it works perfectly. |
|
2.
|
Darkspace - Dark Space I What's better than some ambient black to sleep ? This one may cause nightmares though, but I mean it still counts as sleeping |
|
3.
|
Anna Von Hausswolff - Dead Magic This one got me through one of the most awful nights I've ever had. Poorly isolated room + rain is NOT a good combo, I can tell you |
|
4.
|
Summoning - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame I've actually never listened to this album other than to sleep, and I've never made it past track one, so I have no actual idea of what the album sounds like |
|
5.
|
Summoning - Stronghold Fairly repetitive and hypnotic riffs is a good way to join the unconscious realm. |
|
6.
|
Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity This one is actually quite boring, which is why you can fall asleep to it. I bet The Astonishing would be the same. |
|
7.
|
The 3rd And The Mortal - Painting On Glass I don't know what this is but it worked super well, and it also sounded super good, definitely need to check it out |
|
8.
|
Hjarnidaudi - Pain:Noise:March I don't know what this one is either, but my god it sounded super cool, definitely need to give it another listen as well. |
|

|
Desire - Infinity... A Timeless Journey Through An Emotional Dream This is some pretty neat death doom (not sure why it's labelled as regular doom) but took me like 15 minutes or so to get me to sleep, but I had a pretty nice night afterwards. |
|
10.
|
Abruptum - In Umbra Malitae Ambulabo, In Aeternum In Triumpho Tenebrarum I don't know what that is but it's pretty eerie, and I probably had my weirdest dream in months after listening to it. Worked wonderfully. |
|
11.
|
Angst Skvadron - Flukt That was some pretty good black metal, although it didn't lead to the best night ever so I'm not sure I'd recommend it that much. |
|
12.
|
Gnaw Their Tongues - Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus From the few minutes I heard of it, holy hell this album sounds fantastic, like really incredible, I have to listen to it ASAP. Anyways this one got me a rather nice, albeit weird, night of sleep, so I'd recommend it. |
|
13.
|
Orthrelm - Ov With this one you'll either fall into slumber or madness, but if you successfully fall asleep, you'll have a great night |
|
14.
|
Aarni - Bathos Avant-Garde doom ? I don't know what the hell that is but it sure did help me sleep |
|
15.
|
In The Woods... - Heart Of The Ages Pretty calm and sweet black metal, one of the best albums of the genre definitely |
|
16.
|
Ulver - Shadows Of The Sun There's quite nothing better for your sleep than this release, it's calm, ambient and warm all the way, definitely great |
|
17.
|
Sadness (USA) - I Want To Be There Wonderful post black album, really helped me, I love it |
|
18.
|
Twisted Into Form - Then Comes Affliction To Awaken The Dreamer I have no idea of how I fell asleep to that, this is non stop technical stuff, and while it's great it's not really the best things to sleep to. |
|
19.
|
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯ A♯ ∞ I've been getting into GY!BE recently and they're really amazing, and they're also quite useful to get to sleep, cannot recommend this enough |
|
20.
|
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven This album works just as much as the previous one, pretty neat |
|
21.
|
Maudlin Of The Well - Leaving Your Body Map Fantastic avantgarde metal with a lot of calm and sweet passages, worked wonders |
|
22.
|
Burzum - Filosofem Do I really need to explain this one? The 25 minutes long ambient piece in there is more than enough for a good night of sleep. |
|
23.
|
Sunn O))) - Life Metal I followed Radu's advice, and it was a great one, this put me to sleep quite easily and I'm pretty sure to come back to it eventually. |
|
24.
|
Vinterriket - Lichtschleier Ambient / Dungeon Synth album, you know the drill, calm and perfect for a good night of sleep. |
|
25.
|
Earth - Earth 2 Drone pioneer of an album, of course much like all drone it gets you to sleep easily |
|
26.
|
Forgotten Woods - As The Wolves Gather One of the best hidden gems of black metal |
|

|
28.
|
Paysage d'Hiver - Das Tor What do I need to say, it's paysage d'hiver |
|
29.
|
Darkspace - Darkspace III I Just like the album above, what do I need to say |
|
30.
|
Bríi - Sem Propósito Best metal album of 2021 so far |

33.

|
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon This one got me through SO MANY nights, even though Time woke me up several times, it's just a matter of seconds until you get back to sleep. Sadly, I listened to it so much by now that I just sing along every song in my head, which is not really helpful to sleep. |
|
40.
|
Pink Floyd - Meddle On the other hand though, meddle has one massive advantage over TDSOTM : Echoes. Echoes is just so calm and relaxed for most of the track that falling asleep to it is very easy, definitely the best Pink Floyd if you're sleepy |
|
41.
|
Neptune Towers - Caravans To Empire Algol Droney ambient electronic release by the man Fenriz himself ! It gets you to sleep very easily |
|
42.
|
György Ligeti - The Best Of Ligeti Weird classical music that spirals into madness at times, probably will give you nightmares but also a good night of sleep |
|
43.
|
Vindkaldr - Ambient I Some sweet dungeon synth, Moonsnatcher is such a lovely and warm track, you'll very likely fall asleep to it |
|
44.
|
Depressive Silence - Depressive Silence II One of the best dungeon synth albums ever made is also one of the best ways to fall asleep, I love this one |
|
45.
|

|
47.
|
Endoki Forest - An Evil Of Nordic Frost This is some pretty eerie dungeon synth, that first track got me worried for my sleep, thankfully I did manage to rest nonetheless and had a pretty alright night. |
|
48.
|
Aghast - Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis This one sounded like a very eerie dungeon synth album, with a very special use of vocals, it sounded really cool and helped me to sleep quite well, really great choice. |
|
49.
|

|
57.
|

|
58.
