Top 30 Doom Metal albums of 2023
Justin “Witty City” Wittenmeier
There were so many great albums released this year, doom metal or otherwise. However, with doom metal being my favorite genre, I decided to focus on just bands that fell under the range of its vast umbrella. With the exception of the number one pick, these are not in any particular order. There were many, many albums I wanted to add here but time constraints meant I had to, very painfully, bring it down to just thirty.
