Love how Blayne just threw Worm - Foreverglade up there without any mention of it, knowing damn well they haven’t heard it

Anathema - Serenades, is essential. My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans, is essential.

Temple of void rules….everyone needs to listen to the entire catalog it is nothing short of brilliant…a musical entity without one dud song every song they’ve put out is killer…and they just keep getting better at their craft …one of the best out there sick merch sick artwork and the music trumps all that I salute these guys every chance I get humble motor city maniacs that blow my mind continuously with every release

Clicked instantly as soon as I saw temple of void in the title

Damn, props to you Temple of Void fellas, you come across as some of the most articulate and thoughtful guys to appear on this. Really interesting chat everyone, thanks!

Dudes You did not even give a nod to Runemagick!!!! Fundamental band to mention in any Doomed/Death - Death/Doom conversation!

Oh my god! This is brilliant!! Temple had one of my AOTY s this year! And the amount Death Doom been consuming past month, it’s like ThanksDoomGiving!! 🦃

Lost Paradise is the foremost legend. Not Brave Murder Day, which is a whole 6 years AFTER Lost Paradise. Gothic & Lost Paradise, simply looking at the timeline, doesn't in any way deserve to be second to it, as phenomenal an album as BMD is. Additionally, Lost Paradise is NOT an EP, it is their first full length. Some sloppy research on yalls part, sorry. There were few other bands that were truly playing doom metal with a death metal coat atop it at the time. Autopsy is still largely fast, syncopated riffs with slowed down sections, as is Asphyx. Lost Paradise and the demos prior are among the first truly death-doom records ie balancing both genres. They mastered the style since '88, officially. Check out Paradise Lost - Live Death (1989) to see what a powerful live bunch they were even at the time. 'Gothic' took the Celtic Frost experimental approach of adding french horns and operatic female vocals to its logical end and solidified it as a style. Nick Holmes also had the most sonorous, spacious and enunciated death metal vocals of all time, IMO. Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion should be the proto album, simply for songs like Dawn of Meggido or Necromantical Screams. Other lost essentials: Pyogenesis, Cryptophobism, Awakening, Sceptical Schizo, Rippikoulu, Solothus, Unholy

I don't know where this idea of 'Lost Paradise' being an EP comes from. It is a full album!!!!! From the release it has always been an LP. Check Discogs if you don't believe me. And it should be the Legend.

Draconian is one of my favorite Goth-Doom bands.

I would have loved to see Krypts be included in the list. All three albums are excellent

Can someone please make a list of all the albums that have been mentioned in this awesome video? That would be a huge help ❤

Saturnus - Paradise Belongs to You - Legend

Damn, I never thought I’d see a video on death/doom. I LOVE Death/Doom so this is a very pleasant surprise

That Sempiternal Deathreign 'Spooky Gloom' album is absolutely wacky and awesome.

My essential death/doom album of all time: Loss - Horizonless. It doesn't get bleaker, darker... and more beautiful.

That vinyl collection.

I swear I must have missed the discussion about Foreverglade before it got added to the board

Death / DooM FTW 🙌🏻🤘🏻

Celtic Frost/hellhammer proto, in my opinion 4 glaring omissions from early essential/legend thergothon,skepticism, evoken, and morgion

The Gathering - Always...

Im from Chile 🇨🇱 and in 2017 i got your album on CD from amazon lord of death. Excellent. Greetings

Basically the whole discography of Desecrecy and you’re good with death doom

My Dying Bride - As the Flower Withers is the essential album

Can someone please make a list of all the albums that have been mentioned in this awesome video?

Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium?????

Sempiternal Deathreign !!!

Unfortunate to not see Krypts for modern or Demigod or Rippikoulu for early. I feel like Finland could've really stacked this list

THE legend, i.e. Cathedral's "Forest of Equilibrium" not even mentioned...?

Happy to hear Novembers Doom was mentioned but no Draconian?

My Dying Bride is both legend and essential

Crazy how Katatonia is goo doing any kind of music.

Rapture's Futile would rank really high on my list of favorite death/doom albums.

No Anathema - Crestfallen EP? Leave the hall!

Mizmor and thou!!!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Dying Truth! That is a standard album Anything Diemboilment. Sorrow

Decibel hates on EP's too and I don't understand it. If it's a bands best material, then it's their best material.

No mention of Morgion? 🤔

Just heard of them for the first time today! It's as heavy as Adele's turds! Can't stop listening!

Did someone mention Goatlord STG Demo?

Anathema`s best is the 7" They Die/Crestfallen, not the Crestfallen EP.

Sorry but the "Legend" album is Transcendence Into the Peripheral by Disembowelment.

Mystic Charm - Shadow of the unknown (NL)

What about Evoken, Esoteric, Mar de Grises, Desire?!?!?

What's band is that after Novembers doom?

I bought the original Into Darkness CD with the white tray on Future Shock back in 1991 or 1990 and still have it, bought a couple of reissues as well

So it's BLAYNETV now...

Temple of void is an essential?! You are way too nice with your guests

No Primative Man? Maybe too Sludge and slow but I feel Caustic made a bit of an impact back in 17.

Solinary not Solitary. Think Relapse put it out. Good Album

Loved this, Death/Doom is one of my favorite genres of metal. I just don't get the hype around Hooded Menace. Cool name and imagery, but the music is just OK.

Spectral Voice’s album is amazing, don’t understand the shade to be honest

So.. i don't have 2 hours to watch all this right now and the albums are blurry, maybe you have them as a text list please?

No Lacrimas Profundere ?!

He called it - Anathema totally did boot someone from the band right before they started getting better (sorry, Darren White!).

People say Loss but that's funeral really. Say that say Mournful Congregation. What about Motion? Anybody say Motion? Shame if not even though Solidarity was 99 I guess. Great band. The Loss suggestion is questionable. When I heard their first songs, it was referenced as funeral/suicidal doom. It's heavy but didn't heart any overt death elements.

1:19:20 what album is this he mentioned?

Warning - watching from a distance, one of the most important, highly regarded and influential bands to emerge from the '90s doom metal scene.

Im disappointed they didn’t mention saturnus at all.

It must be slow at Banger if your using twitch streams instead of reviewing albums.

No mention of Worm. boo....

WHERE IS EVOKEN!? WTF IS THIS LIST!?

Saw Doom Metal got excited watched the video. So God damn disappointed I had to unsubscribe.. WTF
