Iron Recommends: A Metal Selection
Yep, one of those lists. Everyone has one, so I thought I'd make a list of metal albums I really recommend.
This is not an absolute "best-of" list, for a few reasons:
1) I stick to one album per band, unless there's been a drastic style shift (like Katatonia's).
2) I try to cover all major subgenres fairly, so I have something for everyone. It counterbalances the tendency to list all the cool bands in a style I'm into right now (like drone or epic doom). |
1.
Warning - Watching From a Distance | |
2.
Candlemass - Nightfall | |
3.
Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend | |
4.
Pagan Altar - The Lords Of Hypocrisy | |
5.
Katatonia - Dance of December Souls |

Doom on you! As with my Post-stonersludge list, this is a list of 25 doom albums by artists of varying stature that i enjoy. And by "enjoy", I mean "suffer through, eagerly awaiting the end ... whether the close of the album or my own imminent demise, so long as the misery stops." woe is me. and woe is you, too. |
1.
40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room | |
2.
Ahab - The Call Of The Wretched Sea | |
3.
Akelei - De Zwaarte Van Het Doorstane | |
