The wide spectrum of sounds expressed through the sub-genre of Doom Metal often gets shadowed 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 sub-genre of Metal ... for that, Doom Metal has stayed 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
