Doom Metal

  • XXX Maniak & Coffins “The Cracks Of Doom”

    Usually, when two bands collaborate on a split release, both bands are similar in style, or at the very least within the same genre of music. Not so for this split as Philadelphia based blasting drum machine-backed death grinders XXX Maniak team up with the Japanese kings of slow crawling doom Coffins in what [...]

  • Stumm “I”

    Finland is a bleak and depressing place. It has one of the highest suicide rate among males in the entire world. Everyone I know who lives in Finland is constantly depressed, whether it’s because of the nearly constant grey skies or because there’s just nothing to do, they fucking hate life in Finland. [...]

  • Weedeater “God Luck And Good Speed”

    North Carolina stoners Weedeater are here with their third full length offering, and first in 5 years, entitled God Luck And Good Speed. Weedeater offer up 9 tracks of bong-fueled down tuned slow-paced sludgy doom with a deep booming bass sound that’ll make the fillings in your teeth rattle, slow, crushing bluesy riffs, solid [...]

  • Jex Thoth “Jex Thoth”

    Recently, Jex Thoth’s cover of Bobb Trimble’s “When the Raven Calls” was featured in SPIN’s “Songs You Need to Download Now” section. When reading that, warning signs immediately popped into my head. A few minutes of Google research tells me those warnings weren’t unfounded. Jex Thoth members Jessica Toth and James Jackson [...]

  • Misery’s Omen “Hope Dies”

    Australia has quite many kickass metal acts foaming at their collective mouths. You have Portal’s bizarre brand of obscure death metal, Stargazer’s esoteric and mystical, blackened take on technical death metal, and a grind scene that makes most countries’ scenes look like a Hannah Montana concert. Misery’s Omen is yet another band to contribute to [...]

  • The Sword “Age Of Winters”

    Chances are you’ve heard of The Sword. You’ve probably walked by the skinny kid in girl pants with the rim glasses and Harry Potter scarf at some outdoor coffee location. You’ve probably heard him talking to his ridiculously short-haired, pseudo-intellectual girlfriend about how The Sword is the next thing in metal to look out for, [...]

  • Rune “The End Of Nothing”

    Don’t ever listen to this album if you cannot take the shit life deals out. The music contained within just might give the push you need to blow your worthless brains out. Yeah, I’m being melodramatic but this album makes me feel like there is no hope and the world is huge, swirling [...]

  • My Dying Bride “Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light”

    I thought Peaceville were officially in the reissuing business by now, but lo and behold, they release a new album by My Dying Bride. Now, to put it severely lightly, My Dying Bride is one of my absolute favorite bands in the history of all music I have ever heard. Turn Loose The Swans is [...]

  • Minsk “The Ritual Fires of Abandonment”

    This is actually my second attempt at reviewing Minsk’s Relapse Records’ debut The Ritual Fires Of Abandonment. The first review I wrote was written while I was half in the bag, included a lot of references to homosexual acts involving members of Minsk and gerbils and, while funny, didn’t really make a lot of [...]

  • Lunatic Gods “Sitting By The Fire”

    I fucking do not understand. I have just suffered a horrendous attack to my senses . My CD player has been raped!!! Why?? What did I do to deserve this? I mean, sure, I like metal, I put out a ‘zine and it seemed appealing to some people, so I [...]
