The wide spectrum of sounds expressed through the sub-genre of Doom Metal often gets overshadowed by the somehow inaccessible slowness that is in its nature and so DM doesn't get the recognition it deserves for being, in my opinion, one of the most flexible subgenres of Metal ... Because of that, Doom Metal has remained among my favorite genres of music since the time I was introduced to it through My Dying Bride's "Turn Loose the Swans".

1. Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale

2. Saturnus - Martyre

3. Lacrimas Profundere - Memorandum

4. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

5. Process Of Guilt - Erosion

3. Lurker Of Chalice - Lurker Of Chalice

4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
