I'm a fan, but don't have an exhaustive knowledge. When I get into a band, I like getting their classics and some newer stuff.
 
I own and recommed:
 

1.  The Angel and the Dark River  from 96 (I just looked at their bio and discography on the Allmusic blog which I've found a good resource for researching bands). They went thru a doom/deth phase-The Angel is when (I think) when they incorporated cleaner vocals-mostly clean singing with a lot of violin...if you are familiar with old Tristania...that's a vague reference point-MDB has just one male vocalist vs the beauty and beast thing...epic doom suites and violin. I kind of like what I consider good doomish goth-it's in that realm. It goes w/o saying this is over the top melodramatic music. This album is beautiful though.
2. A Map of All their Failures, from last year is really strong. Maybe their strongest newest output.
3. Songs of Darkness, Words of Light, A Line of Deathless Kings, and  For Lies I Sire  are recent releases prior to A Map that are also solid releases.

 
Yeah-these are just the discs I own, but I would say The Angel and A Map...would give you a good range. I don't have thier true doom/death stuff as I prefer their cleaner singing stuff. I do like doom/deth, but MDB vocals are strong enough for me to prefer the cleaner vocals. Aaron Stainthorpe-the vocalist nails the classic melodic male bariton doom vox IMO.
 
Enjoy!
 

1.  

Cheers buddy

It better be, with a title like that! Blood eagle is just about the sickest thing you can do to another human being.

These have been around along time but this is the first album ive obtained-very good-what else should i get.

 

[markm1]

Primordial-The Gathering Wilderness and To the Nameless Dead-both essential to my collection. I haven't heard their newest release (2011 or 12). I remember reading it wasn't quite as strong, but pretty solid.
