I`d say the most Sabbath sounding band around and that debut album Psalm 69 is a classic doom metal release. other classic doom metal releases are:
Paradise Lost Icon
My Dying Bride Turn Loose the Swans
Candlemass Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Katatonia Dance of December Souls
Cathedral The Carnival Bizarre
|
Psalm 9 by Trouble is soooo epic.
Forest of Equilibrium and The Ethereal Mirror are more favorable albums for me by Cathedral.
I can totally agree with the Candlemass one. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is definitely their best for me.
By Paradise Lost I generally love everything till Draconian Times (That included.) but if we're picking up the classic album by them, I would vote for Gothic.
We cannot forget about Witchfinder General if we're talking about some good doom metal pioneering. Death Penalty and Friends of Hell are some of the best metal albums ever made.
