RYM’s Top 25 Funeral Doom Metal Albums
For the uninitiated, funeral doom metal might just be metal at its heaviest and darkest. Take the melancholic heaviness of standard doom metal, mix in the power and meanness of death metal and the dark atmosphere of black metal, and you get the ultimate megalith of sound. Sometimes these passages grind into your brain for 40 or so minutes at a time, even. If you are curious enough to explore, here is a good list to draw from. This is how the folks at rateyourmusic.com rank the top 25 funeral doom metal albums…

Wait a second, they have the entire Evoken discography on here, but not dISEMBOWELMENT – Transcendence Into The Peripheral? What a crock!
Yeah, whereas the similarities are there, I’ve never heard Disembowelment included within the Funeral Doom subgenre. If they were, then no question “Transcendence…” would be the number one album on this list, bro.
In fact, if all death/doom were accounted for then “Dawning”, “Solinari”, “Amid It’s Hallowed Mirth”, and “As The Flower Withers” would have to be included here…
fucking awesome list.
there was a couple i havent heard of but most of them i own
Awesome! Are there anymore you would’ve added to this list?
No Ahab?
Yeah, there’s an Ahab album on the list, but there should be at least two. We agree there!
No Tyranny on the list at all???Colosseum all the way down at 22?
I dtdn’t make the list, lol… these were ranked by a bunch of fans.
Funeral (of Norway) deserves a shout. Quality list though. Glad to see some FDM fans!
