Yeah your right, but its not like blackened death or something. It can be labeled as just black metal. Kind of reminds me if Deathspell Omega was inspired by raw black metal and old school war metal like early Revenge and Black Witchery. I don't know.

Exactly. I should have mentioned that. I didn't exactly mean generic, I just meant it didn't mix with lots of other genres and get REALLY experimental, although it is a bit experimental.

It depends on what you expect... TCOTWS is probably the most crushing kind of doom known to the human world. The Giant, however, has those post-metal elements which makes it pretty chill-out stuff at times.

I've heard it before, and that is pretty much why I liked The Giant more. Believe me I like crushing stuff, but with Ahab I like the soft clean stuff mixed with a little bit of crushing.

Spectacular list. Except some sludge/doom which I'm not so much into, all others are necessary albums; maybe not for someone new to the styles, but definite must-haves for any moderately seasoned listener at the very least. Thanks!

I've finally finished this list and it has been a very interesting, reinvigorating refreshing experience to go through, with some artists I've known the name for years that this finally forced me to check out like Darkspace and Negurá Bunget as well as blasts from the past like The Gallery/Jester Race and White2 (which I feel it now to be one their most complete albums). Thank you for taking the time to compile this it's meant alot.

I know I had mentioned Agalloch before I had started this list but as I was going going through some that didn't click with me I had started to go through in my mind what I would have placed instead. Besides Agalloch, the others I kept thinking that are worthy are....

Burzum - Filosofem
Chaos Echoes - Transient
Cathedral - Any of their first three albums.
Sabbat - The Melody Of Death Mask
Sleep (maybe they just miss out)
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Type O Negative - World Coming Down .......although October Rust is usually the norm preference, this album is much more emotionally crushing and one of the heaviest doom albums in how personal it gets, it keeps it real even its ballad like anti-single, Everything Dies.
Tryptikon - Either release but maybe on the more Eparsitera Daimones.

Its great to see how theres so much correlation with the community on what we most definitiely like on lists like this and the other list shown on here. But the interesting part about it are the only small tweaks everyone has in preference what makes ourselves that bit much more unique about looking at each other reflectively. =P

Your welcome powerpuff. =P I meant to add that for me introspectively and atmospherically (with also a lot more northern vibe added) I get the same feels with Filosofem that I treat it as the 90's equivalent of Lurker Of Chalice.
