Here we present what we at Infernal Masquerade think have been the bleakest Doom and Doom-ish Metal releases of 2016.
10. Worm Ouroboros – What Graceless Dawn (2016)
This extremely atmospheric release truly showcases the band's ability to craft unique and trance-inducing heavy music. |
9. The Foreshadowing – Seven Heads Ten Horns (2016)
This Italian band has been slowly maturing and now they are ready to take on the scene with their modern sounding Gothic Doom Metal. |
8. Heaven Grey – Manuscriptum (2016)
Hands down the best in Baltic Gothic Doom Metal in 2016. |
7. Hanging Garden – Hereafter (2016)
Brilliant EP that further showcases the band's unique musical evolution while retraining some of their signature heavier elements. |
6. Evig Natt – Evig Natt (2016)
Heavily melancholic old-school Gothic/Doom Metal from Norway makes up for a great way of spending 50+ minutes! |
5. Monolithe – Zeta Reticuli (2016)
This release is one of the most relentless releases of 2016 which also happens to have a high experimental component. |
4. Vuolla – Blood. Stone. Sun. Down. (2016)
This multi-faceted release perfectly blends traditional Death/Doom influences with more modern Post-Metal/Depressive Rock elements. |
3. Dead to a Dying World – Live at Roadburn 2016 (2016)
Very few things have impressed us this 2016 as much as this live performance. Now you can live it with this awesome live release. |
There is something magical about the catchiness and the punishing nature of this Portuguese release. |
1. Trees of Eternity – Hour of the Nightingale (2016)
Hauntingly beautiful and eerily depressive, this amazing release managed to get under our skin for weeks. |
