Heavy shit right hurr.

What we have here is a live album by none other than Miles Davis. I'm a jazzfag, get over it. On this recording, he had what many consider to be the pinnacle of his live performing band. Clocking in at over an hour and a half this is no light shit. This is heavy in a different sense of the word.

Miles Davis - Dark Magus
Part 1
Part 2
It's zshare so don't complain.

Moar doom.

First up we have It Is I. Featuring Thomas Choi of Asbestosdeath, Noothgrush, and Operator Generator among others. This alone should convince you it's good. Industrial sludge doom, coupled with a fantastic rhythm section and some solos that you'd swear were being played by Matt Pike during his Sleep days.
It Is I - Evolve

Next up is Ogre. Featuring two members of the cult doom band Blood Farmers should give you a good idea of what to look for. The band likes to describe themselves as proto-doom. I'd say that's a good moniker, or doom rock. Either way this album consists of one 37 minute track divided into 11 movements. It tells the story of mankind's destruction at the hands of itself and the rise of the dog-king and their eventual redemption at the hands of Collosus. Epic, I know.
Ogre - Plague Of The Planet
