This is a list of doom metal albums based on their artwork (in reverse alphabetical order). It includes iconic cover art from classic albums as well as fascinating work from more recent releases.
There is a saying that "you should not judge a book by its cover", which is of course also true in the case of music albums. However, the artwork can complement the production and give a visual introduction to the musical theme and atmosphere. More than for any other kind of music, this may be true for metal.

1. Weeping Silence - Opus IV Oblivion

2. Swallow The Sun - Moonflowers

3. Shadecrown - Solitarian

4. Paradise Lost - The Plague Within

5. Paradise Lost - Draconian Times

2. Opeth - Blackwater Park

3. Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja

4. Wintersun - Wintersun

5. Summoning - Stronghold

Welcome to what I consider the "Metal Bible" or in other words, a list of records of various genres in the arrays of Metal and Hard Rock that I deem essential or at least very recommended to listeners of hard and heavy music. This may be a very overwhelming list but I essentially try to collect all albums in the History of Metal that strike me as worthwhile. May this be a guideline for people that seek for an entrance to a particular genre or certain bands. In no means I am saying, that this list is indisputable by any means. I consider these my personal picks for albums that should be listened to by die-hard metal fans at least once. Hopefully you can discover some new music or relate with my picks. If I missed something that you would include in such a list, please tell me in the form of a comment. Enjoy! \,,/

1. High Tide - Sea Shanties

2. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

4. Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come

5. Josefus - Dead Man
