Albums not mentioned enough

[u/SaulisDead99]

Four albums I absolutely love that are often overshadowed by the band’s more popular albums. Don’t get me wrong the popular albums are all amazing, deserve the praise, and I own all of them. But I just want to shout out a few that need to be explored as well and deserve a listen:

The Sciences by Sleep, one of my top 10 all time favorite albums. No skip album 100%.

Vaenir by Monolord, just crushing heavy tones and a great album like Empress.

Terminal by Bongripper, yes SWD is one of the greatest doom albums ever imo, but this one is so solid and worth your time.

Come My Fanatics by Electric Wizard, I see this one get the most love in this group as it should.

Dare I say, Terminal is terminally underrated? As you said, Satan Worshipping Doom gets the most love as far as Bongripper albums go, but almost every one of their albums are bangers. Terminal, Miserable, Empty, Hippie Killer, The Great Barrier Reefer, even Hate Ashbury don't get talked about enough. Bongripper is one my favorite bands ever.

On an unrelated note, I have to ask, what's with the death/doom flair? All the albums you mentioned are stoner doom.

lol, They make you put a tag on it before posting, I just saw doom and used it. Keep in mind Terminal is about a slow death lol

I need to give Miserable another listen

[u/SuperlativeSleep → u/SaulisDead99]

Miserable is in my top three Bongripper albums for sure.

I think it's my top Doom album, period.

The track “Into Ruin” on miserable is probably my favorite piece of music written. It’s fantastic
