The Howling Void - The Womb Beyond the World (2012)

The Howling Void is an excellent one-man symphonic funeral doom band. This being my first experience with symphonic funeral doom, I can say that it's a brilliant combination of genres and that this album is a fine specimen of it. The symphonic elements, along with the pulsating guitars, make it one of the darkest metal albums I've heard and about on par with the heavyweights of the genre such as Evoken, Esoteric etc.
