Summoning Albums Ranked

[@jakemoran9655]

if Lugburz was released by any other band bm fans would be drooling over it and calling it a masterpiece, it’s so underrated

[@NeroAngelo616]

Is it tho?

[@RetroDeathReviews666]

@@NeroAngelo616 Yes it definitely is.

[@stephantiede9779]

Flight of the Nazgul is an amazing song

[@mindful2864]

Summoning are an amazing band and have a truly consistent discography. Here's how I'd rank their albums: 8. Lugburz 7. With Doom We Come 6. Old Mornings Dawn 5. Dol Gurdur 4. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 3. Oath Bound 2. Stronghold 1. Minas Morgul

[@michaelpurnell5203]

I’ve been obsessed with this band lately, coincidentally looked for your ranking of this discography last week haha. Of the albums I’ve heard so far: 1. Minas Morgul 2. Stronghold 3. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 4. Dol Guldur 5. Oath Bound 6. Lugburz Still have to get into the most recent two, but an amazing discography still

[@mirrorreaper3545]

Old Morning's Dawn is amazing, definitely give it a spin. I haven't listened to With Doom We Come though, but considering how consistent Summoning is, it's probably pretty good.

[@buttoningbenjamin5687]

"A Distant Flame Before the Sun" is one of the best metal songs ever written.

[@burtongrimes2227]

I couldn’t agree more. What a fucking song to finish off what I would say is their best album. Pure masterpiece

[@thebestever7788]

Props for even trying to rank these. Such a solid band. Stronghold is my favorite as well but after that it's almost impossible to rank them because they are all so good

[@br1878]

8 - Lugburz 7 - With Doom We Come 6 - Minus Morgul 5 - Dol Goldur 4 - Old Morning’s Dawn 3 - Oath bound 2 - Stronghold 1 - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame LMHSYF with its symphonic guitars has its own unique sound. I can’t think of any band including Summoning that has done anything like it since.

[@KevinOrtega1980]

I love this underrated band, I discovered them about twenty years ago when I saw Stronghold at Tower Records and decided to pick it up and was totally amazed: 8. Lugburz 7. With Doom We Come 6. Oath Bound 5. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 4. Old Mornings Dawn 3. Dol Guldur 2. Minas Morgul 1. Stronghold

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

I started with Oath Bound but Old Mornings Dawn is my favorite.

[@OmegaSwitch]

Hard to list indeed, but here it goes... 10. Lugburz 9. With Doom We Come 8. Lost Tales 7. Old Mornings Dawn 6. Dol Guldor 5. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 4. Minas Morgul 3. Nightshade Forests 2. Stronghold 1. Oath Bound

[@Transilvanian90]

Glad to see Nightshade Forests getting the love it deserves! An oft-overlooked masterpiece

[@Rose-From-the-Dead]

Oath Bound has always been my favorite.

[@Nick-zd5gf]

Hell yes Questy. We have the same top 3 - Old Mornings Dawn is grossly under-rated and is one of Summonings best efforts.

[@greywanderer5935]

Summoning are so awesome! Strangely my fave is Old Mournings Dawn 🤣 know it’s most people’s least fave but I listen to it far more than the others.

[@hvitekristesdod]

It’s an undying masterpiece. Fuck the haters 👊👊

[@Diana-pf7zs]

I strongly agree with Old Mornings Dawn being in the top of your favorites. Even if it's not my favorite album from Summoning but it's definitely in my big 3, I cannot describe how beautiful The White Tower is. I have never heard any song like it. I remember I had days when I'd listen only to this album all day long, and breaking the repeat button on The White Tower, Caradhras, The Wandering Fire and Earthshine. I can't express how much I love both this album and this band. I don't think Summoning has any bad songs.

[@HopefulNihilist]

Third video requesting a Blut Aus Nord ranking.

[@hvitekristesdod]

Yes, jammed The Work Which Transforms God just a few hours ago myself 🤘🤘

[@Eheth1958]

Minas morgul is the best for me, someone who doesn’t like death metal so much. More of a trivium fan.

[@hvitekristesdod]

Oh yes. It’s time. One of my favourite bands ever :) 8. Dol Guldur, a bit limp for me, still good :) 7. Lugburz, enjoyable 6. With Doom We Come, pretty good 5. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame, really good 4. Minas Morgul, total classic 3. Stronghold, stupendous masterpiece 2. Old Mornings Dawn, one of my favourite albums of all time 1. Oath Bound, my favourite album of all time :)

[@hvitekristesdod]

God dang it after further listening and thinking… it’s Stronghold… their most consistently brilliant IMO

[@Transilvanian90]

@@hvitekristesdod This is one of those bands where the album you're listening to is probably your favorite when you do, because it's so immersive :))).

[@dmuellner1997]

Old Mornings Dawn is by far my favorite.

[@tomasjonsson7141]

That album is a masterpice 🐐

[@ramiayeche6300]

1. Old mornings dawn 2. Minas Morgul 3. Let Mortal heroes sing your fame 4. stronghold 5. oath bound 6. dol guldur 7. with doom we come 8. lugburz (still love it)

[@billcowan5539]

Thank you for this ranking! I really appreciate it, Summoning are a truly Awesome Epic Black Metal band🤘🤘🙏

[@isengard1778]

Yeah, Summoning, the band has a fantastic discography. Must agree that „Old Mornings Dawn“ is a super album but not my absolute favourite because it‘s a bit too folky, love their sound more darkened. Best album in my opinion is „Oath bound“. Instead of My Top Albums here comes my list of their best songs: 1) Over Old Hills 2) A distant flame before the sun 3) Land of the dead 4) Marching homewards 5) The mountain King‘s return

[@JohnDiabol]

I don't agree with the order you put every single album in, but you definitely put the very best one on top! Stronghold is the best summoning album without a doubt hands down 100000%

[@JacobA666]

Oath Bound is my personal favorite. Beleriand is underrated, to me it's better than Land of the Dead.

[@wastelander1015]

Tough one, i really like all their albums. Probably something like this: 1.Minas Morgul 2.Stronghold 3.Dol Guldur 4.Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 5.Lugburz 6.Old Mornings Dawn 7.Oath Bound 8.With Doom We Come

[@lackosiddharta2212]

Fckn love this band ❤️ Stronghold, what a masterpiece !

[@blackwaterrust476]

The Band that Wyattxhim simps for. But in all Seriousness Summoning is a Great band with no bad album at all 8 Lugburz 7 With Doom we Come 6 Let Mortal Heroes sing your Fame 5 Old mornings Dawn 4 Dol Guldur 3 Minas Morgul 2 Stronghold 1 Oath Bound

[@metalheadindian9174]

Summoning absolutely ruless!!!! Btw please do a Blut Aus Nord album ranking

[@paganlady7738]

My list is quite special because i got Old Mornings Dawn and then got EVERYTHING else. So there is my list! 1. Old Mornings Dawn 2. Stronghold 3. Oath Bound 4. Minas Morgul 5. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 6. With Doom We Come 7. Dol Guldur 8. Lugburz

[@carpenoctemradio]

My favourite Song from Dol Guldur is „Nightshade Forest“.

[@RetroDeathReviews666]

One does not simply rank summoning albums. ;) They're all amazing, and one of my favorite bands of all time. If I absolutely HAD to rank them: 8 - Old Mornings Dawn 7 - Stronghold 6 - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 5 - Lugburz 4 - With Doom We Come 3 - Minas Morgul 2 - Dol Goldur 1 - Oath Bound I love each and every album though almost equally, this is just my current mood. Except the first 3, I do prefer those over all the others but damn are they all so close together.

[@JohnYannoulas]

The only correct ranking on the internet: 1. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 2. Minas Morgul 3. Old Mornings Dawn 4. Lost Tales 5. Nightshade Forests 6. Stronghold 7. Oath Bound 8. Dol Guldur 9. Lugburz 10. With Doom We Come

[@mmvsn]

For me its a tie between Mortal Heroes, Dol Guldur and Stronghold as the best one. After that Minas Morgul > Oath Bound > Old Mornings Dawn > Lugburz. The EP's are somewhere in the middle.

[@JustFaithless]

My list would be: 8.Lugburz 7.Minas morgul 6.Don guldur 5.With doom we come 4.Stronghold 3.Old mornings dawn 2.Oathbound 1.Let the mortal heroes sing your fame

[@billvrabel1502]

Good list man, my list would be different though. I'm not keen on the production of the two newest ones and my favorite Summoning album is Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame although From Minas Morgul to Oath Bound is really a matter of mood for me.

[@NeptuneTowers]

1. Stronghold . . . . . . . . . . the rest

[@houseofhador1596]

My favorite Summoning album is Oath Bound

[@destinybennett666]

I honestly can't rank them, I love all of their albums.

[@tommygreen2573]

My Ranking: 8. Lugburz 7. With Doom We Come 6. Dol Goldur 5. Old Mornings Dawn 4. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 3. Oath Bound 2. Minas Mirgul 1. Stronghold

[@collt091]

EASILY one of my favorite black metal bands

[@NeroAngelo616]

Actually despite the background what you explained in Old Mornings Dawn is how Summoning can derive different bases to their sound. Synth (early video game vibes, if you're reading this check out Godkiller - The End Of The World), epic and symphonic (Mortal Heroes), dungeon synth (Stronghold), darkwave and folk. You hit it also when you mentioned funeral doom as I see them having a similar formula.

[@kaptaink1897]

1. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame

[@billvrabel1502]

Mine too! Masterpiece.

[@Transilvanian90]

Good for the most part, although I can't say I'd put Old Mornings Dawn that high. It's good, but for me it's not that amazing. Others surpass it. Here's my ranking, which has 9 pieces because Nightshade Forests is essential; at 33 minutes it's almost an album anyway. It's a very hard ranking to do, I love most of their material. 9) Lugburz - enjoyable but the sound wasn't fully fleshed out yet. 8) With Doom we Come 7) Old Mornings Dawn - very enjoyable but simply not as good as the older ones. I do like the folkier side to it a lot! 6) Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame 5) Dol Guldur 4) Nightshade Forests - an essential acquisition, don't overlook this. 3) Minas Morgul 2) Oath Bound - such a gorgeous album; also get the Lost Tales EP as it has a similar sound. 1) Stronghold - indeed the best album, an absolute masterpiece.

[@julzthedoggo]

solid list i love ur energy man im new to the channel and for sure will leave a sub

[@halhatal]

what u think about a video of the best live metal albums?

[@sidneydavidson993]

Summoning is one of those bands where ranking their albums is super hard because they are so consistent in terms of quality. Honestly, this list could be completely inverted and you'd still be correct

[@mirrorreaper3545]

1. Minas Morgul 2. Dol Guldur 3. Stronghold 4. Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame 5. Old Morning's Dawn 6. Oath Bound 7. Lugburz I haven't listened to With Doom We Come though, so I didn't rank it.

Lugburz is the only Summoning album that I really enjoyed

[@down96]

There is no such thing as a bad album in their discography

[@ULVT]

But seriously Summoning is a highly hated band, and I think it is unfair. These people are talented. Silenius is is alot better in the Abigor albums. But still the atmosphere is perfect for a Tolkien sound.
