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

2.Alkerdeel - Morinde
3.Altars - Paramnesia
4.Amnis Nihili - Christological Escalation

IMAAAAGINATION! =3

My favorite element about music is probably atmosphere. My mind is a lazy, albeit adventurous, asshole that likes to take vacations whenever it can. And what better than the surprise mental adventures that music takes you on? SHUT UP. SHUT UP. Nothing is better. Whether I'm whisked away on the wings of a dragon, sitting around a campfire with a group of vikings just before battle, wandering around a haunted castle, or floating around FUCKING SPACE, I love these adventures. Yes. Yes, I do. And here are my favorite albums that have incredible atmosphere for me to get lost in. (No particular order)

1.Bal-Sagoth - Battle Magic
2.Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
3.Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness
4.Rhapsody Of Fire - Dawn Of Victory
5.Les Discrets - Septembre Et Ses Dernières Pensées

Drone Metal: The Slow Darkside

It's always the same riff? the same bass? for some reason you can't stop listening to it? it's appealing. The whole sound summons you into a spiral, a void? It's always the same thing, over and over again... it's driving you crazy, demented? it's so loud that you'll beg for someone to kill you. But the music won't let it! The music is up to kill from the inside, it's your soul it wants! That chord, trembling over and over again? ''please kill me? please for the love of God, somebody kill me!!! I can't stand it anymore!''

1.Melvins - Lysol
2.Earth - Earth 2 - Special Low Frequency Version
3.Earth - Phase 3: Thrones And Dominions
4.Boris - Absolutego
5.Thrones - Alraune

A PBR 12 Pack Of Popular Hipster Black Metal.

Orthodoxy is for morons who cannot compose or create themselves and need to copy the blueprint of someone else. Daring to be different might make your music stand apart. Daring to be different and standing apart might draw more people to your music. Daring to be different might make you more popular - and thus more hipster. So grow some facial hair, put on an ironic shirt, grab a PBR, and listen up.

1.Agalloch - Marrow Of The Spirit
2.Alcest - Écailles De Lune
3.Blut Aus Nord - 777 - Sect(s)
4.Darkspace - III
5.Darkthrone - Circle The Wagons
