Kvlt, Meet Riff: Blackened Doom And Sludge

Had been wanting to do this for a while, title's pretty self explanatory. Black and doom are my two favorite metal subgenres, and when the two are combined into pure melancholic chaos, I scream like a little girl. I decided to take a broad approach with this one and include blackened sludge bands as well, as I think doom and sludge have similar origins and can fall under the same general banner. *Translation: I don't care if you think they can't. As usual, suggestions are both warmly welcomed and appreciated. Limit one album per band.

1.
2.Arcana Coelestia - Le Mirage De L'Idéal
3.Atriarch - Ritual Of Passing
4.Autumnblaze - DämmerElbenTragödie
5.Bast - Spectres

2014: From Professor JokeR's Perspective

I'll start off by saying that I wasn't planning on doing a list so early on in the year, but I've come across numerous albums that I'd like to share with people who enjoy my lists (or people who hate my lists).

This list will be a little different than my 2013 list. I created that list at the end of the year, and then decreased it to my Top 25 of 2013. This list will be a compilation of all 2014 albums I've come across and given a listen.

1.Beyond Creation - Earthborn Evolution
2.Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation
3.Ophis - Abhorrence In Opulence
4.Ghost Brigade - IV - One With The Storm
5.Infestus - The Reflecting Void

MZ's Favorite Death Metal Albums

My favarite death metal records. I avoided making this list for long because
a) I've suggested many of these albums on the lists of the others
b) many of them appear on my other lists
c) my knowledge on OSDM is extremely shallow
In the other words, this is a shit list and I admit it. Any help for improvement in the form of suggestions is appreciated.

1.!T.O.O.H.! - Pod Vládou Biče (Under The Reign Of The Whip)
2.Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius
3.Adversarial - Death, Endless Nothing And The Black Knife Of Nihilism
4.Altars - Paramnesia
5.Antediluvian - λόγος

2010-2014: Top 100 Albums (WIP)

2008 might've been my first proper taste of metal, with the acquisition of albums from the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath and that most grandiose of gateway bands, DragonForce. 2009 might've seen me expanding my palette, with Iron Maiden, Alice In Chains, Avenged Sevenfold, and more entering my world, and Guns N' Roses triumphantly re-entering it. But 2010 was when I delved into more 'intense' stuff with Machine Head, In Flames, and most notably of all, Sylosis, and saw my relationship with metal shift from ever-increasing interest into full-blown love affair. To commemorate this 5-year anniversary, and because I love making lists, I decided to do a retrospective of the best albums and songs that have been released during this time period, and give brief tributes to them. Yay music!

1.Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth
2.Sylosis - Monolith
3.Protest The Hero - Volition
4.Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR
5.Be'lakor - Of Breath And Bone
