Dark Metal: The Definitive Albums
|
The purpose of this list is not to find and record which albums are the best but to define Dark Metal. We will try to specify which albums are the definitive examples of Dark Metal. "Dark Metal" is what we would call a "post-subgenre". An album that's not quite Black, not quite Death, sometimes a little Doom or Gothic, other times just Melodic or Symphonic or even "Atmospheric", anything that could fall somewhere in between some or all of these categories, that could probably be a "Dark Metal" album, as long as the tone is somewhat dark.

Interesting list with quite a few old favorites of mine. The term was a big thing in Germany in the 90s and a common umbrella term for (almost) everything you couldn't categorize otherwise. It was only years later that I realized that dark metal had very little meaning outside of Germany... Off the top of my head, I would also include early albums by Dornenreich, Graveworm, Dark (GER), Agathodaimon and Siebenbürgen.

I've heard November's Doom (specifically The Pale Haunt Departure) referred to as "dark metal" before. Still not too understanding of the concept of the genre itself so can't really verify.
