CRYSTAL SPIDERS – morieris

CANDLEMASS – kuusrock

tiny bit of nostalgia, remember “clearly” being there, some thief stole my photos.

SONS OF OTIS – isolation

probably the heaviest band on earth still rumbling its heavypsychdoom like no others; very ‘eavy not so ‘umble. TOTEMCAT

BRIMSTONE COVEN – the woes of a mortal earth

authentic sounding 80s doom/hard/heavy rock, sabbath/dio/candlemass/etc., a nostalgic trip. RIPPLEMUSIC

SONS OF OTIS – isolation

sample track from the upcoming album

CURSE THE SON – excruciation

cant help hearing sabbath-influence in riffs and vocals, everyone decides in their own burned brain is that a good or bad thing
but the tracks are heavier than heaven and roll like a midnight freight train. RIPPLEMUSIC

WARRIOR POPE – mellified man

dreamy medieval metal or nightmarish doom metal, probably something in between, not a single sabbathy riff, vocalist growls like cronos, very unique frightmarescapes, if you want something else, you got it. CAMP

USWA

so far listened only the 1st track, how beautiful it is, reminds of 70s finnish proge.

 

CANDLEMASS – epicus doomicus metallicus

classic, do you hear doom metal this beautiful nowadays? saw the band in kuusrock whatever the year was, had some photos, some thief stole them in Rovaniemi?

MESSA

feast of dark jazz/doom/drone metal with haunting female vocals.

HIGH PRIESTESS – casting the circle

girlschool of doom metal casting meditative spiritual atmospheres, slow riffs for black yoga retreats, highly relaxing alternative to testosterone-powered growlings. RIPPLEMUSIC

BONE CHURCH – acid communion

took a while, 2nd listen, to wake up the little long-haired heavy metal kid inside me, but after that this was a pleasure; unique, crushing, at times tender, nwobhm-metal with a hint of sabbathy doom. RIPPLEMUSIC

BLACK SABBATH – born again

check this out digital bitches and zeroes the anonymous heroes, stonehenge, drone before drone boom, very inspiriing, many said this is the worst sabbath album, its not.

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC – second sight

unarmed pedestrians are zapped, air smells polluted, clouds taste satanic… this band still amazes, two monstrous over 20 min instrumentals with plenty of twists, riffs and turns for halloween freaks and doomsday preppers

BLACK PYRAMID – 10th anniversary tour

remember adding a track to some droning earth volume, probably 10 years ago, never listened the full album before, quality heavy metal/doom grooves for the doomed and globally burned generation.

BESVÄRJELSEN – frost EP

theres never enough of female-fronted doom, to be honest sometimes there is, but heres innovative riffing, dreamlike vocals, depressful lyrics, spooky atmosphere, so to speak everything that doomster hippie needs

ESTONER – tahm

said this before, bit tired of sludge/doom metal genre nowadays, after hearing too many bands during years everything tends to sound the same, and its same with drone/ambient genres, that said i share the track that i liked best on this album, laidback psychedelic shamanism…

SEERESS – great void

Something wrong with society nowadays? All this “social” media and people are more and more lonely and full of rage in the middle of their void (and in their cockpits). That said (because this must be the 1000th album about void ive heard) theres some atmospheric instrumental post/doom/drone metal to take a trip around galaxies far far away from this miserable planet earth ruled by warhungry warmongers.

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC – the glitter of infinite hell

riffs are twisting, tracks are evolving, air smells polluted, society feels perverted, clouds taste satanic and the music sounds like a truly unique instru-metal symphony.

CAMP

DEVIL ELECTRIC – s/t

doom metal, and traditional heavy rock, can still be interesting (sometimes think heard it all), especially with innovative riffs and skillful female vocals, at times this lady sounds like janis joplin.

KOZMIK ARTIFACTZ

CAMP

LARES – mask of discomfort

lare, laren, lares, heavyblackstoner as in the gig poster in their facemelt page, i havent listened black since 80s venom so all i can say this isnt just black metal also some heavier/slower parts, singer sounds too much like all black (metal) singers, but figure it out YOURSELF.

OHHMS – the fool

thunderous politically-charged (written in the promo sheet, would be nice to read the lyrics) progressive sludge metal, adventurous tracks have more parts than you ever find from the finnish top40, definitely needs more listens, so if youre looking for neat chorus/verse songs, keep on looking elsewhere, and as the old finnish proverb tells: “the fool is always more trustworthy than the govt”

HOLY ROAR RECORDS

KHON – where the demons play EP

THIS took me back to times when hair was long and candlemass was the hottest thing on earth, guys dont tag themselves as doom metal but thats what this sounds to me, whatever, nostalgic 4 tracks of heavy metal.

DUEL – witchbanger

influences from old school doom/heavy metal/hard rock, could call it doom rock, but call it what you want, its 8 killer tracks of groove-laden, skull-burning, witch-banging, hotter than hell misfits metal from the neighbourhood of the texas chainsaw massacre.

HEAVYPSYCHSOUNDS

HATEURE – erase this

filthy & furious sludge, soundwise everything is there but to be honest riffing is bit boring, and if i understood right this is re-released/re-made old track, why not to play something new? but again, judge for yourself.

DEAD WITCHES ouija

rainy intro, i was waiting for the lightning strike but instead the organ starts then eerily weird guitar sound, like resurrecting something from somewhere.. traditional doom metal with haunting female vocals, i was hoping for bit more original riffing but i think this works fine if you dig electric wizard, reverend bizarre etc.

HEAVYPSYCHSOUNDS

 

DEAD WITCHES

Halloween special from the new band signed on HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS.

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC – dawn of the satanic age

if the satanic age means stalking and radiation everywhere, the dawn is a coming,
musicwise instru-metal symphony with riffsful of uniqueness, another example that the music interesting enough needs no vocals.

CAMP

MAMMOTH WEED WIZARD BASTARD – Y Proffwyd Dwyll

cosmic doom opera with enchanting female vocals, crushing intergalactic riffride with a hint of psychedelia.

NEW HEAVY SOUNDS

CAMP

WITHOUT – elaborations II

dont blame these women if youre without, they are without too, relaxing ambient doom metal with many nuances.

CAMP
