The Doomed Forum

Well the topic of the debate is in the title of the thread, so have at it.

I would say Shape of Despair - Angels of Distress

But for all those who argue that Shape of Despair is not true Funeral Doom, some close rivals in my list are:

Thergothon - Stream from the Heavens
Ahab - Call of the Wretched Sea
Evoken - Embrace the Emptiness
Longing for Dawn - One Lonely Path
Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet

There's a possibility that in my book it could be one of the following (But there's always swaying):
Skepticism - Farmakon or Lead And Aether
Tyranny - Tides Of Awakening
Comatose Vigil - Not A Gleam Of Hope
Wormphlegm - Tomb Of The Ancient King
Shape Of Despair - Shades Of...

I'll have to go with Thergothon - Stream from the Heavens, which is also one of the best albums ever to emerge from the barren soils of Finland.

Difficult to choose, but I'll go for Mourful Congregation-The Monad Of Creation also.

Very close behind, and all ex-aequo :

Tyranny-Bleak Vistae
Thergothon-Streams From The Heavens
Evoken-Embrace The Emptiness
Shape Of Despair-Angels Of Distress
Monolithe-Monolithe I
Skepticism-Lead And Aether
Worship-DOOOM

Which naturally raise the question : does perfection in Funeral Doom lies in the ears of the listener?

Such an unfair question...
agreed with:
Mournful Congregation - Monad of Creation,
Skepticism (in the end, it's all of their full-lenghths together with ethere & Aes EP's),
Thergothon,
Tyranny,
and would add
Moss - Cthonic Rites,
Wijlen Wij - s/t (at least one SVC project deserves to be mentioned here, IMO)

Farmakon, if you want to call it Funeral Doom. If not, I would choose Stormcrowfleet or Lead and Aether, depending upon the day.
