Favorite Funeral Doom Bands/Albums?

Not a frequent genre for me, but sometimes I just gots to get my funeral DOOOOOOM on. How about you? What are some of your favorites?

A few I enjoy:
Thergothon: Stream from the Heavens (one of the OGs)
Faithless Minutes Devoured: A Eulogy for Mankind (Christian)
Slow: V: Oceans (probably my favorite I’ve heard)

Like many others, Ahab was my gateway-band to the genre, though right around that time I also discovered Asunder which mixed a cello with their funeral doom very well.  This song is just majestic:



I do really like Faithless Minutes Devoured as well, and of course Dauðaró and Elemental Transcendence as mentioned in Dauðaró's thread.

I've never really been able to get into Funeral Doom much. I'm not big on slow music. When it comes to Death/Doom, I prefer the more melodic bands like Novembers Doom, Mother of Graves, etc. I need the variety in vocals, instrumentation, etc. which is probably why I like "Within the Ancient Forest" slightly more than " Exhumed of the Earth." The new album from Dream Unending last year is about as funereal as I can take.

I'm with Son. Now if you want to talk gothic doom I have a few I like.

Black Rider’s thinking, “why would I listen to Ahab when I could listen to ABBA???”

Um no, that's never happened.

Recently enjoying these live performances by these 2 man bands...

Skepticism, from my country. Especially their album Stormcrowfleet. One of the best atmospheres I know in an album. Little bit different from your usual funeral doom atmosphere, more of an romantic vibe. Don't listen to the new mix, stick with to the old one.

Some others that have rocked my remarkably handsome face of late:

Mournful Congregation: The June Frost, The Book of Kings, The Exuviae of Gods Part 2

The Howling Void: Into Darkness Ever More Profound

Ahab: The Call of the Wretched Seas, The Coral Tombs

None, this genre sucks!

Another great one that's also from my country is Shape of Despair. Very beautiful music, helps to write my poetry. I own all of their studio albums on vinyl.
