TROUBLE "Simple mind condition" gatefold LP - Cult Psychedelic stoner/doom - 2007 (2010 re-release) - Buy It now
"So, Trouble are back, and they delivered an absolute winner here" (alternative-zine.com)


BEN NASH "The seventh goodbye" CD - Acoustic guitar / Cosmic atmospheric music - 2008 - Buy It now
"a real beauty. Throughout there is mostly Ben's acoustic guitar picking - elegiac ragas similar to James Blackshaw. Side 2 opens with the meditative "Smoke & Flattery" - singing bowls, grizzled oms and incense-wreathed atmosphere. The rest of the side continues in cosmically dazed fashion with the next track sounding like Led Zep's more enchanted and folkier moments on the falling into the bliss of sleep. Highly recommended." - (BOA MELODY)


HANGÖVER "Under the shitfluence" Second hand CD - Blackened Thrash'n'roll, a G.G Allin tribute - 2006 - Buy It now
Alcoholic Polish Trio offering a raw oldschool thrash metal dedicated to G.G Allin.



OBJEKT 4 "World of ruin" 3" Cd-r - Indus ambient - 2004 - Buy it now
"This is the opportunity to discover 4 pieces going into dark ambient and experimental treatments." (side-line)


ISTIDRAJ "Blasphemous ritual" Tape - Raw Black Metal from Singapore - 2006 - Buy it now
"Istidraj is one of the harshest, most satisfying black metal bands I've ever heard. These Singaporean sickos take the punkish, lo-fi, abbrasive approach (...) Blasphemous Ritual is about pure, balls-out harshness. It's a bit punk and silly" (grimmack, metal-archive)

ALDEBARAN / UNEARTHLY TRANCE "s/t" split-7" - Doom/sludge - 2009 - Buy It now
"a gnarled dose of their grimly familiar blackened-sludge-cum-hardcore. (...) Bedfellows Aldebaran have been knocking around for a while now and do what they do well enough: sluggish doom wallowings with the kind of hot n' heavy low-end that presses up against your lower parts like a pervert on a crowded tube platform" (collective-zine)


ARES KINGDOM "Return to dust" CD - Black thrash metal - 2006 - Buy It now
"this is a thing of beauty. A complete, remarkably balanced, brilliantly constructed record (...). This album is a triumphant hymn to the timelessness of true fucking steel (...) Necessary." (diabolical conquest)


DEMIMONDE "Mutant Star" Second Hand CD - Gothic Doom Death - 2000 - Buy It now
"If you think Solefald are boringly conventional, then this should be just great for you." (chronicle of chaos)


TERG "Bitter" Cd-r - Experimental electro noise - 2005 - Buy it now


ENTOMBED "Hollow man" Tape - Cult death'n'roll - 1993 - Buy it now

ASUNDER / GRAVE AT SEA "s/t" Lp - Cult Doom split! - 2005 - Buy It now
"Beautiful gatefold version of this mammoth split. Graves at Sea conjures up more of their brand of gutteral doom that only the desert can produce. While Asunder churns out a goliath slap of sub sonic depression. Features amazing artwork (drawings and paintings -- including lyrics!) from David D'Andrea (Asunder, High on Fire, Yeti)." (Omega Order)


CANDLEMASS "Epicus doomicus metallicus" CD - Epic Doom Metal - 1986 - Buy It now
Remastered version re-released in 2007 as 2CD. The bonus cd is called "Live In Birmingham" and was recorded in March 1988.

OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON US "Painful stories told.." Second Hand CD - Sludge / Doom - 2008 - Buy It now
"OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON US is an excellent Austrian Sludge Doom band with post core influences. Wonderful acoustic sounds, pitch-black sound samples, and the mourning and conjuring vocals of the two singers. Rage, sadness, bitterness, suffering and hate are only a part of the emotions that are processed and thus channelled with OSDOU." (PsycheDOOMelic)


DOPEFIGHT / DEAD EXISTENCE "Split" Cd-r - doom / sludge- 2009 - Buy it now
DOPEFIGHT : "The band main inspiration is the mighty THC so the comparison to "Bongzilla, Sleep and other Stoner/Doom bud worshipers will come as obvious but in amongst those grooves there is a good dose of "Iron Monkey" and "Grief" sounding tortured Doom." (Doommantia)
DEAD EXISTENCE : Harsh being a word that sums up the hungover crawl-to-the-bowl of London's misanthropic sludge sect Dead Existence perfectly. What else is there to say? Listen hard and feel your bowels churn in sympathy" (Terrorizer Magazine)


SORROWFUL GOD "M.E.P.H.I.S.T.O" TAPE - Atmospheric Doom Metal - 2000 - Buy it now

NACHTMYSTIUM "Eulogy IV" Lp - US Black Metal - 2006 - Buy It now
"Nachtmystium have made another giant step in a very short amount of time. I sense so much potential in this band that I'm already becoming afraid they might not be able to explore it to the fullest." (Chronicle of chaos)


MOOD "slow down" CD - Doom Metal - 2005 - Buy It now
"What's MOOD spelled backward? Classic trad doom that would have felt right in place with in the golden years' of Rise Above. The 2nd album from these cult doom legends - gem like doom in the vein of Sabbath, Obsessed and even a bit of Cathedral. Now, the long time sold album of MOOD (pre. Wall of Sleep) called “Slow Down” is available again in a limited version to the public." (PsycheDOOMelic)


SANCTUS DAEMONEON "Grey Metropolis" 2nd Hand CD - Funeral Black/Doom - 2008 - Buy It now
"Grey Metropolis" is unnervingly eerie and unhastily experimental. It possesses a distinct underground feel; it sounds sinister; and it looks great. The music produced by these Danes is unique and worthy of your attention. So please, stop waiting for Mayhem or Dodheimsgard or whoever to deliver another decent album and buy something genuinely obscure and creepy instead." (Archaic Mag)


GACKY "Mektig" Cd-r - Indus Noise - 2005 - Buy it now
On "Mektig", Gacky explores a variety of electronic soundscapes, including soft melodic compositions and symphonic industrial, as well as noisy power electronics with hard abrasive inhuman beats. (Organic Pipeline)

CHURCH OF MISERY "The early works : 1997 - 2000" 3xLp - Sludge/Doom - Buy it now
Coming as 3xLp in a superb Gatefold! 2 hours of music!
"this is classic-sounding doom metal, slightly updated, groovy, extra-heavy and fun to listen to. If you know what’s good for you, you’d consume it without even a hint of reluctance. It’s what the doctor prescribed." (global domination)


BLACK SHAPE OF NEXUS / KODIAK Lp - Doom / Drone - 2010 - Buy It now
"These are two of the most intelligent and interesting drone doom metal bands of the present. They are both from Germany and they build a modern doom metal under down-tempo lines and ambient elements. This split is totally substantial. Approximately 40 minutes of noise and post-metal slow motion melodies." (Noizine)


GRAND MAGUS "S/t" CD - Doom Metal - 2001 - Buy It now
For the ones who missed this cult debut album! Re-mastered and Re-packaged by Rise Above Records in 2006 with two bonus tracks after being out of print.
"Grand Magus’ self-titled album set the standard for things to come. Inspired by Black Sabbath’s groovier side, these dudes set down some psychedelic doom with facets of stoner rock.(...) Okay, so every track is good, making for full spins every time the CD is in your player." (Examiner.com)


THOU "Tyrant" CD - Doom / Sludge- 2007 - Buy It now
"Tyrant" is the astonishing debut album from New Orleans doom / sludge songsmiths, Thou. While retaining an incredible sense of melodic & dynamic songwriting, Thou have unleashed one of the heaviest and darkest albums to be unveiled during the recent influx of doom & sludge. Powerful lyrics delivered with scathing vocals seal the deal, Thou have proven their value in a time when slow & heavy bands are a dime a dozen. This is only the beginning.


PENTAGRAM "Relentless" CD - Doom - 1985 - Buy it now
Cult Debut album of the doom masters re-released in 2005.
"Anyways, this is an essensial for all classic doom fans out there, I reccomend you snatch this one up. I reccomend for fans of doom, rock, blues, heavy metal, and thrash. 91/100 " (be without fear)

ISIS "The red sea" LP - Sludge - 1999 - Buy It now
Tri-color vinyl limited edition to 370 copies.
For the ones who missed this cult debut album! Re-mastered and Re-packaged by Rise Above Records in 2006 with two bonus tracks after being out of print.
Before attaining Celestial heights, ISIS plumbed the deepest and densest of musical depths with The Red Sea. Punishing and unrelenting, The Red Sea marked a new chapter in ISIS' mosquito-driven, conceptual universe. Incorporating nods to both vintage Earth and the Melvins, it was the two new "song" offerings that marked ISIS' growth beyond that of mere comparisons and demonstrated the grandeur of what was to follow. " (Second Nature)


JEX THOTH "s/t" LP - Doom Metal / Psychedelic rock - 2009 - Buy It now
So I highly recommend this album. It's all well-done and not once do I get the feeling that the band is approaching the style ironically. This is late 60s/early70s music performed by people that (I imagine) worship that era and take its sounds very seriously. If you like Jex's singing, and proto-doom and psychedelic music in general, there should be nothing keeping you from loving this. (Metalreview.com)


CANDLEMASS "No sleep 'til Athens" 2xLP - Epic Doom - 2010 - Buy it now
Coming as 2xLP on blue and white wax! Live recorded in 2009 in Athens.


SATURNALIA TEMPLE "Ur" CD - Great doom Metal w/ members of Therion and Kaamos - 2007 - Buy it now
Ultra slow, sluggish and heavy psychedelic/spacey music, one of the top new doom bands around, Saturnalia Temple features members of Therion and Kaamos. This is the debut digipack release of the Swedish doomsters, and a must for everyone into Pentagram, Electric Wizard, Black Widow... Saturnalia Temple is not merely riding the retro-trip, as so many are today, but is a journey of BLACK MUSICAL INITIATION from the QLIPHOTIC spheres, a timeless chant channelled into the MUSIC-RITUAL. The effects of their CHANTINGS, vibrations and hellish rhythms have been cast in IRON by the underworld smithery of TUBAL KAIN. They are here to follow the ANCIENT TRADITION of shamanic TRANCE, hard rock and blues, thus making a lot of noise, spreading general HYPNOSIS and EVIL VIBRATIONS. (PsycheDOOMelic)


DEEP SLEEP "Manic Euphoria" 7" - HxC/Punk - 2007 - Buy It now
Like just about the entirety of the Grave Mistake roster, Deep Sleep play early `80s hardcore, though with more of an adolescent, scratchy vocal front and a much less abrasive coating. They're often compared to Descendents, and while I wouldn't have thought of the comparison myself, it makes sense to draw a parallel to Descendents' early work upon listening, though of course without the noticeably poppy or upbeat edge. Maybe a bit of Jerry's Kids is in here as well. (punknews.org)

BLACK SABBATH "into the void" 7" - Doom/Heavy - 1971 - Buy It now
Gods of Doom Metal! 2 tracks recorded live in 1971 in England. Great sound. With insert.


TITAN "Sweet dreams" LP - Psyché/Space/prog metal-rock - 2010 - Buy It now
"A psychedelic journey to the heart of the sun! For fans of HAWKWIND, The SWORD & MONSTER MAGNET"
Brooklyn’s TITAN specialize in crafting epic rock jams; smokey, sprawling stretches of sweet riffs, swirling synths, and all the right kinds of rock bombast. They have an instinctual grasp on tension and release, with each song building to several emotional crescendos before ebbing, only to repeat in the most compelling of ways. Sweet Dreams, and especially the track “Wooded Altar Beyond the Wander”, prove that TITAN is one of America’s finest rock exports.


THERGOTHON "Stream from the heavens" CD - The originators of the Funeral Doom genre! - 1994 - Buy it now
Thergothon disbanded in 1993, before the eventual 1994 release of ‘Stream From the Heavens’ though over the years the band has earned a cult status in the underground through this single album. In the mid-later part of the 90's the "Funeral Doom" genre emerged. Thergothon was deemed as one of the originators of the sound & style and an important cornerstone for the whole genre.

MOSE GIGANTICUS "Gift horse" CD - Progressive Stoner, Synth sludge! Killer debut album! - 2010 - Buy It now
"Progressive stoner metal? Synth Sludge? Whatever label you slap on this baby, you can’t deny it’s an interesting oddity." (Angry Metal Guy)
The brainchild of Philadelphia’s Matt Garfield, MOSE GIGANTICUS pulls from an extensive range of hard rock, metal, and punk influences to create a unique and modern record with their Relapse debut ‘Gifthorse’. “The Left Path”, “Last Resort”, “White Horse”, and “Days of Yore” brings together driving, power riffs and low-end heaviness with expansive electronics, synth elements, and spirited attitude. ‘Gift Horse’ is as infectious as it is timeless, and a massive debut from an oncoming force-to-be reckoned with. (Relapse)

Week 10


SUMA "Ashes" 2xLP - 3rd album of the Swedish stoner/doom masters! - 2010- Buy It now
"Sweden's SUMA 3rd album is a monster record, believe me. Addictive, sick, mean, beautiful." (Throne)


DARK FUNERAL "Vobiscum satanas" Gatefold LP - Black Metal - 1998 - Buy It now
"Probably the most christraping music ever recorded...", 8/10 (Metal observer)


SPIRITUS MORTIS / FALL OF THE IDOLS "s/t" LP - Doom - 2010 - Buy it now
Two of Finland’s finest team up for a dual doom assault. Spiritus Mortis offers us three tracks: A Uriah Heep cover, a brand new tribute to Robert E. Howard’s puritan avenger, Solomon Kane, and a re-recorded, longer version of the band’s crowd pleaser “Rise From Hell”, now even more menacing and evil. Fall of the Idols in turn provide us with two new songs in a more heavy metal oriented fashion than we’ve heard before. (dooomed.com)


THE FUNERAL PYRE "Vultures at dawn" CD - US Black Metal - 2010 - Buy it now
“The Funeral Pyre has somehow found inspiration in European black metal, do-it-yourself tendencies, and the almighty riff. In this day and age, when has a little hard work and a sick riff ever hurt?” (Prosthetic)



CATHEDRAL "Forest of equilibrium" CD - Cult doom - 2009 reedition - Buy It now
Re-released as a Dualdisc in 2009 with "Soul Sacrifice" EP as a bonus disc. The DVD side of the Dualdisc contains 'Return to the Forest', a 40 min brand new documentary with key original band members, filmed in Coventry in 2009, and also featuring interviews with infamous cover artist Dave Patchett.
