Raven Black Night - Choose the Dark (2004)

Australian Sabbath-ian doom with traditional/epic elements. The vocalist generally stays in a passionate, Messiah-esque register, but once in a while he'll go up higher into King Diamond territory. He even whips out a death growl at one point. A bit rough around the edges, but all the better for it.

We know we belong
