YES OMFG. I'm still jammin it.

[Krosis]

Great album

[celticelk]

I bought the Conan record, and I go back to it periodically to see if my tastes have changed, but it's really not doing it for me.

[worshipcult]

I love Blood Eagle

[chillerthanmost]

YOB, Conan, Electric Wizard, Pallbearer, Thou, and I also loved the new Old Man Gloom and Young Widows(given its not "doom")

[pelliott]

Easy Pain is so good. They've really hit their stride.

[Joe Gress]

Old Man Gloom - The Ape of God
Bongripper - Miserable
Trap Them - Blissfucker
Young Widows - Easy Pain
Baptists - Bloodmines
YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend
Indian - From all Purity
Inter Arma - The Cavern

Not all doom, but all were fucking awesome!

[More_Divebombs]

Not all strictly Doom, but definitely all slow and heavy as shit.

Hark - Crystalline
Thou - Heathen
Pallbearer - Foundations of Burden
Helms Alee - Sleepwalking Sailors
Sunn O))) & Scott Walker - Soused
Mars Red Sky - Stranded in Arcadia
Slomatics - Estron
Today is the Day - Animal Mother
Steak - Slab City
Conan - Blood Eagle
Earth - Primitive & Deadly
Floor - Oblation
Bongripper - Miserable
Twilight - Beneath Tridents Tomb
YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend

Old Man Gloom - The Ape of God
Bongripper - Miserable
Trap Them - Blissfucker
Young Widows - Easy Pain
Baptists - Bloodmines
YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend

I am super into this list.

Would add:
Pallbearer - Foundations of Burden
Thou - Heathen
EYEHATEGOD - s/t
Lord Mantis - Death Mask
Downfall of Gaia - Aeon Unveils the Thrones of Decay
Those would be some of my favorites for the year.

Feb '15, I think.

[Joe Gress]

Yeah it's in Feb

Helms Alee's new album was good, but it didn't stand out to me like Weatherhead & Night Terrors did.

Same thing with Blissfucker. I enjoyed it but there was so much swing and groove on Darker Handcraft, Chris Maggio added so much depth that I felt their new drummer wasn't as... nuanced. Like I said, it's a good album but it feels more like Just Another Straightforward Entombedcore Album

[D.o.S.]

Upon further reflection: Headless Eyes is still the top, I think, for doom of 2014 for me. Really like a lot of the usual suspects listed here of course (Yob, Indian, et. al), but I think that's my #1.

I feel like we're all kind of quietly let down by the new Wiz record?
