This is probably my favourite Shape of Despair album, although there's stiff competition from Angels of Distress.

There isn't a track out of place on this album, and the song "The Distant Dream of Life" always gives me chills. I love that they included a re-recorded version of "Written in My Scars" at the end too.

Blissful funeral doom from who knows where?

Some great Finnish funeral doom.

A lovely track off Shape of Despair's latest album "Return to the Void".

I can't listen to this that often because it's way too poignant. A masterpiece of funeral doom.

I'll kick things off with a track from one of the pioneers of funeral doom.
