This is a gruff, gritty, groove laden offering that holds the listener’s attention from start to finish. ![]() West Texan stoner/sludge/hard rock act OJO MALO come out of the gates swinging with their debut. OJO MALO – BLACK LIGHT FEVER TRIPPING / NEW! ~ Damien Regnauld ( Stoner Freaks Anthology)Ģ2. Silent Future is an expedition, a tribal trip, an unreal ecstasy and probably the greatest thing you will hear this year. Probably the most exciting collaboration of the year! When psych/doom masters REZN join their forces and their talent with Mexican cosmic astronauts Vinnum Sabbathi, the result can only be awesome, and it is. REZN & VINNUM SABBATHI – SILENT FUTURE / NEW! Karl is the star here but it’s not just him bringing the goodness, the band is filled with killer veteran musicians from the Raleigh scene that just bring it to Burn To The Moon, like they have been holding on to these songs for years and could not be more excited to expose the riffs to the world.Ģ3. You can hear bits of his old band but in no way is this some cheap imitation, as the twelve tracks stand firmly on their own no matter what band the singer came from. ~ Rich Piva ( Musipedia of Metal, FuzzDoomRip)Ī perfect name for Karl Agell of COC fame’s new band, which incorporates all the best parts of stoner, doom, and kick ass heavy rock. The chill out/drop out album of the summer. Yawning Man never disappoints, and Bob and his band Fu Manchu are untouchable, so this must be great, right? Well turns out it is pretty f-ing impressive, and of course it is, given what Bob does when he guests or partners with other bands (see his out of this world solo and overall guitar work the Big Scenic Nowhere album from last year) and how consistently great Yawning Man is. ![]() So where do I sign up for one of my two favorite desert/stoner rock instrumental bands partnering with the legendary guitarist from one of the innovators of the scene? Well apparently, Heavy Psych Sounds has me covered with the team up of these two beasts of the genre. THE FIRE MYSTICAL – THE FIRE MYSTICAL / NEW!Ģ9. HOWL AT THE SKY – IN LINE FOR THE END TIMES / NEW!ģ2. GREEN INFERNO – TRACE THE VEINS / NEW!ģ4. This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world…ģ8. The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below. Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom, sludge, metal, stoner, psychedelic and heavy rock albums. Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and reviewers from the heavy underground around the globe. It’s magical… And to serve you all again, with 39 new albums on this month’s edition, out of a voted list of 241 heavy albums, is a blessing… Sorry, I’m feeling a different kind of heavy, the heavier side of emotions… And I know, I should be heavier than this… So, let’s press play and let that energy be transformed into the other kind of heavy! And that’s what music is, a fucking miracle… And the sheer amount of great music we can listen to makes it all even more wonderous and huge. And letting that feeling ride the almighty wave of the Great Magnet, can transfer the right kind of energy to you and all around you… And that, can lead to ‘connectedness, wholeness, and timelessness’… The way a song can circle back towards that main riff is amazing, the way a song can circle back to the one that started the story is truly miraculous. Conclusion: we know very little, but can feel all that more. Leading me down a rabbit hole of books about ‘knowing’, ‘humanism’ and ‘synchronicity’. Sorry, been feeling a bit emotional and philosophical of late, Sunil Singh, posted a great story at the exact right moment for me. And of course, those fine and mighty Heavy Underground albums. We hear all sorts of stuff from all sorts of angles and sources, but what we should really lend our ear to is all those stories of hope, love and wonder. I’m heavier than this…” ~ Misheard quote from Stephen ![]()
