Hooray! This is (yet another) 2017 list. Take a drink. Seeing as everyone else is doing one, might as well get off my lazy ass and vomit one out as well.

2017 was a weird and, at least February through July, an absolutely miserable year which has impacted my production and metal consumption. While I've digested a lot of metal, as you can see from my (almost non-existent) content output, not one that perhaps impacted me like prior years. Largely due to personal circumstance.

1.Emptiness - Not For Music

2.Funeralium - Of Throes And Blight

3.Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper

4.The Great Old Ones - EOD: A Tale Of Dark Legacy

5.Loss (USA) - Horizonless

This is a list of the doom albums I have listened to.

The list starts with a handful of what I'd call my favorite doom albums. The first few of those count among my favorite of all time, with Paranoid, Watching From A Distance, and Черно at present holding a perfect 10. This list does have a cutoff point, stretching from those 10s through some high 9s and all the way down to middling 6s. If I rated it below a 6, it does not appear on this list, and that's because I disliked the album.

Given how much music I listen to and how many lists I have going concurrently, I don't update this as I go; I let albums accumulate for a while and then do periodic overhauls, so the list won't change for months at a time.

Last updated October 17, 2021.

1.Black Sabbath - Paranoid

2.Warning - Watching From A Distance

3.Kypck - Черно

4.Woods Of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light
