Autochthon
by Stoic Dissention
Not just doom, not just black, but all of it in turns, and none of it by the numbers. Great music. Their second album is cool, too.

Kentucky
by Panopticon
supported by 56 fans who also own “III: Doom in Bloom / Allies”
KENTUCKY is a stunning display of musicianship and political messaging. Panopticon blends technical black metal with stirring labor-first messages and, though this album was released in 2014, it's still harshly relevant. If any genre needs an infusion of leftist messaging, it's black metal, and this album should be seen as one of the standard-bearers.

Ygg huur
by Krallice
supported by 53 fans who also own “III: Doom in Bloom / Allies”
Answers the question of where Krallice would go after "Years Past Matter." Completely unclassifiable, the songs are simultaneously compact and complex. The playing and musicanship is breathtaking... "Wastes of Ocean" into "Over Spirit" being a prime example. It must also be said that Mick Barr is a badass motherfucker all over this album. "Agony in collective ignorance/Called upon by thyself/Thyself being a part of all life/In the sickness/Quarantined in pure paranoia" Pretty prophetic, right?

This album fucking rules. Blood Incantation is one of my favorite metal bands in recent memory.

GRAND GUIGNOL ORCHESTRA
by PENSEES NOCTURNES
This terrifying, exhilarating, and wholly unique merger of black metal and circus music is anything but clownish.

The Xun Protectorate
by Khonsu
Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact.
