40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room "If we were alone on this earth,or even away from here, it would be easy to let myself go, and God knows I want to." |

Abandon - The Dead End Heed my warning: do not proceed further, for you soul can be tainted by the beauties of the dark side. |
|
3.
|
Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops Sick, twisted images repeated in my mind. A must-listen for Sludge fans. |
|

|
5.
|
Agalloch - The Mantle The winter is meaningless without some Agalloch. |
|

|
Atoma - Skylight I'm not amazed as much as my enthusiastic compatriots, but there's no argument in labeling this album "A Journey to the unknown.", slightly overrated. But a solid effort nonetheless. |
|

|
Before The Dawn - Deathstar Rising Probably the last BTD album I really enjoyed. |
|
8.
|
Collapse Under The Empire - Find A Place To Be Safe imagine being lost in a dream that has no specific climaxes at all, relying on texture instead to keep you puzzled and intoxicated. |
|
9.
|
Crib45 - Metamorphosis Perfect for the people with inner struggles. |
|
10.
|
Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway Deals with the subject of solitude. Not your typical my-beloved-is-gone-and-I-die-in-the-forest type of doom metal album. |
|
11.
|
Dan Gibson's Solitudes - Sleep Deeply Perfect for sleeping. |
|
12.

Fen - Dustwalker Just listened to it this morning. Sounds a lot promising to be added to my collection. |
|

Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs Probably the most personal album I've ever heard. Melancholic and sad at some point, but it's not however,bleak or devoid of hope. |
|
21.

|
22.
|
Ikuinen Kaamos - Fall Of Icons It actually came to me at a terrible time when I was suffering from anxiety issues and it drove me further into insanity, but I had good memories nonetheless. |
|
23.

|
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny My personal favorite. |
|
25.

|
Mono - For My Parents The last post-rock album I really enjoyed since I stopped listening to post-rock. |
|
27.

|
Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet Massive. |
|
30.
|
Slumber - Fallout A masterpiece in any imaginable way. Atmospheric and melancholic. |
|

Stomach Earth - Stomach Earth Crushing, massive death/doom material. Funny how Mike Mckenzie, a tech-death metaller, has a way with slow-paced doom music. |
|
32.
