doom metal \ Monolord \ Riding Easy Records \ yep that's about all you can say about it
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 […]
doom metal \ funeral \ Goth \ Gothic \ Hypnotic Dirge Records \ Orphans of Dusk \ so blissfully depressing \ Solitude Productions
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 \ doom metal \ Finland \ Lost Pilgrims Records \ more weed than necessary \ stoner
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 […]
Czech Republic \ doom metal \ Epidemie Records \ funeral doom \ Mistress of the Dead \ so slow
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 […]
Belief Mover Records \ black metal \ buioingola \ depressing as hell \ doom metal \ Dweller in the Valley \ Eye of Nix \ grimoire records \ Hanged Man Recordings \ noise \ noise rock \ post-black metal \ powerviolence \ psychedelice \ Same Sex Dictator \ Sentient Ruin
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 […]
Bog Oak \ doom metal \ interview \ is it bad I want to worship trees now? \ Svart Records
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 […]
atmospheric \ doom metal \ funeral doom \ melodic \ too good for English words \ Ukraine \ Квітів Знедолених Берегів
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, […]
after this there is only emptiness \ black metal \ complete corruption \ Dark Descent Records \ doom metal \ nothingness incarnate \ Swallowed
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 […]
Americana \ Bludded Head \ doom metal \ how can such things be combined even we don't know \ Sleeping Giant Glossolalia
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 […]
cast me into oblivion my love \ doom metal \ Evadne \ funeral doom \ Spain
Evadne – Dethroned of Light EP
In the world of doom metal, it’s pretty simple to categorize any one band, in fact many of them sound so similar furthering delineating by way of another adjective is often fruitless, or better to say delusional. However, if there’s one clear derivation in the genre, it’s funeral doom. You’ve probably already heard of the […]
