To me, one of the most memorabl doom metal albums of all time, probably because it has some prog elements as well, is Memento Mori's 'Life, Death and other morbid Tales', featuring Snowy Shaw (ex King Diamond and Mercyful Fate) on drums and Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass) on vocals.  Exquisite stuff!!!

  My Dying Bride, especially the "Turn Loose the Swans"  - 1992 album.
  Early Anathema is great doom-metal indeed.

A few personal faves: (sub-genre in ()'s, so you know what you're getting into...)

Esoteric-The Pernicious Enigma (Death/Doom) UK

Dolorian-s/t (Atmospheric Death/Doom) FIN

Evoken-Embrace the Emptiness (Death/Doom) US

Shape of Despair - Illusion's Play (Funeral Doom) FIN

Mournful Congregation-The Monad of Creation (Funeral Doom) OZ

Skepticism - Farmakon (Funeral Doom) FIN

There's loads more bands worthy of a listen, but those come to mind right away.

And yeah, i dig the newer darker stuff the mostest, heh.

 
Listened to Dolorian only because it appeared after Esoteric, and I'm very impressed by the s/t.
Their sound is unique(at least i haven't heard similar stuff), and they are very recommended.

well I don't quite agree...
Anathema now are doing sth between Radiohead, Coldplay and Brit sh*t
They used to do atmospheric rock/metal until Judgement
 
Paradise Lost are trying to get back to gothic metal but are still far away... just commercial happy songs IMO

a few recommendations I'd give:

Cathedral - forest of equilibrium (traditional doom mandatory, great stone golum vocals by Mr. Dorian, which they never changed their style from this album)

Penance - Road Revisited (more traditional doom, great slow plodding music with an angry edge)

Disembowlment - transcendence into the peripheral (echo drone doom/death masterpiece, with a nice experimental leaning)

Esoteric - any (one of the best bands of their kind, swirling cosmic psychedelic Doom)

Bunkur - bludgen (raw, avantgarde, droning ritualistic torturous sludge, Hellhammer meets Abruptum, no joke!, definitely not for all)

Grief - any (one of my personal favorites, extracting the hate, siimple slow screaming doom trudge, nothing more nothing less)

Bedemon - child of darkness (maybe proto-doom? I dont f**king know,...side band of Pentagram recodings from 1973-79, like to hear a darker more raw sounding pentagram and sabbath? check this slab out)

Yes, I am already doing it. He did a very good work in his site and he is constantly improving it. I go there occasionally and rate songs, add songs and albums that are missing. It's like building the site from scratch.

Black Sabbath is the root, but isn't doom itself...
There's nothing left to loose

Hey guys,

my website is lacking a bit in the Doom Metal department - I'd be glad if you could add your favorite artists and albums.

P.S.: I also made the distinction between Classic and Modern Doom ... I'd appreciate any suggestions for other metal genres related to dark/doom that I should list.
