1.Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

Here is a list of my chosen top doom albums of all time. This is not the stereotypical doom that is used by people nowadays. Rather, the focus is on the true aspect of the music, i.e. feelings of gloominess and despair expressed in a hearty and beautiful manner through music, the music that evokes wonderful emotions! For true doom metal fans out there!!

2.Swallow The Sun - New Moon

4.Mental Home - Black Art
