People might disagree but IMHO one of the strongest subgenres in the 2010's is Doom (and its subgenres eg. Sludge, Stoner, etc.). It's surprising that we haven't named any doom albums. Here we go:
- Sleep - The Sciences
Sleep never disappoints. It was just released a couple of months ago, but is already making its mark.
- Uncle Acid - Blood Lust
Solid psych-y doom. Very fuzzy and hazy.
- Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper
Arguably one of the best funeral doom releases this decade. Perfect mix of doomy and beautiful. This release also garnered attention from non-metalheads.
- Bongripper - Satan Worshipping Doom
Instrumental sludge at its finest. Bongripper will be playing 2 nights in Brooklyn this month, the first of which they'll play Satan Worshipping Doom in entirety, and the second of which they'll play Terminal (their new 2018 album). Interestingly, they sold out the first night, but not the second night yet.
- Pallbearer - Foundations of Burden
I personally prefer Sorrow and Extinction, but I think many people like Foundations more. Honestly Pallbearer has a strong discography so I'm ok with any of their albums.
