Nevoa – The Absence of Void

Before I begin, I want to go out and say that if you’re going to ask me to review your album or whatever, I would very much appreciate it you – I don’t know, gave me the album? I’ve had a few people message me over the last few weeks about reviews and I want […]

Monolord – Vænir

Monolord – Vænir

The artwork from this one is just splendid, let’s get that out now.  It’s esoteric, brooding, possibly Gothic, in the classical sense, not modern, and it gives one “the feels” in its stark simplicity.  We expect great things out of great art, and some bands don’t appreciate how critical a cover can be for how […]

Orphans of Dusk – Revenant

Ah, Solitude Productions, what good can’t we say?  Without wasting too much time, it’s enough to simply state that when you see the logo or hear the name, you know it has to do with doom metal.  Hypnotic Dirge Records, hey, what can’t we say about them as well?  Though not known strictly for doom, […]

Boar – Veneficae

Let’s kick it back and get high even though we’re straight edge (sorry, but it’s true for the editor anyway).  How can you do such a thing, get high without the necessary substances?  Easy, with modern doom and/or stoner, though the latter, being clearly about “the high”, would be your best option.  Interestingly, you have […]

The Vault: Mistress of the Dead – White Roses, White Coffin

Funeral doom is a pretty stable niche in the field of doom metal, but it tends to turn away most of those who are more attuned to the driving force of bands like Bog Oak, or really anything with a tempo that doesn’t move at a pace so slow half a chord progression takes a […]

Cassette Assault – Hit It Hard With Sludge

In the past, when we’ve tossed tapes purposefully at your face; sometimes it’s been a hit, sometimes a miss, depending on the tape.  This time we didn’t want that, we wanted it all. no misses.  As the tapes come in, as well as anything else, we’re picky now, preferring to review what we see in a positive […]

Interview With Bog Oak (Worship the Trees With Fire)

With all of the attention doom metal gets anymore, it’s difficult to pick through the mess of wish-we-weres to find the no-one-can-defeat-uses.  But, aside from our awkwardly-worded opener, for which we apologize, deeply, the task is real, the difficulty true.  Let’s face it, when anything rises in popularity everyone starts to jump on board until the […]

Квітів Знедолених Берегів – За небокрай мрій

Квітів Знедолених Берегів – За небокрай мрій

We’ve encountered a wonderfully diverse form of two types of metal from Eastern Europe over the past few years, in particular coming from Russia and the Ukraine.  Folk metal of the pagan variety, and doom metal, the latter often delivered to us by Russian-born Solitude Productions.  We could go off on a number of bands, […]

Swallowed – Lunaterial

Today, you know what?  You know what guys and girls?  It’s time for complete destruction of everything.  Let’s tear it all down, let’s rip out this thing called a soul that we don’t believe in anyway and burn it into metaphysical ashes.  Let’s take this thing called order and obliterate it and whatever remains we’ll […]

Bludded Head – Reign in Bludd

Bludded Head – Reign in Bludd

Reign in Bludd, Bludded Head’s most recent ep-pun-ymous release, is a sweet relief, a breath of fresh air, gentle breeze kissing the soft and carefree cheek.  Sure, the band’s suitably riff-and-distortion heavy, and sure, vocalist Nevada Hill’s desperate and oft-thin warbles sound as though they were drummed up from one unnameable pit miles below the […]
