Usually, I avoid the 14-minute epics because, well, I don’t have time for long songs that drone on forever. Now I know that may sound like heresy to the Doom community, but this gal has a full-time job, a family, and a business on the side that I am trying to grow.

The entire album runs a mere 38 minutes, and every song comes across as the perfect, edited version of what the song should be. One is like a collection of my favorite bits of this kind of music, with none of the stuff I have to overlook in order to enjoy it.
Read More Late to the Party: Hum- OneIf you need a break from power chords and mystical musings from Mammoths and Goats and don’t mind some quirky mashups of almost every sub genre of rock since 1981, this is for you. In fact, for a select group of adventurous souls, this might make your Top 10 for the year and wind up on half a dozen of your playlists.
Read More Holy Toledo, Beautiful Doom by Hope HoleIt’s the kind of whiskey-strained voice that just gets the crowd pumping and challenges the guitars for dominance. The bass playing is low-down and up to no good, reaching deep into your gut and making it clear where the boogie lies. Plenty of air drummers are gonna be smashing the smokey haze with empty hands when they see these guys (and gal). I do not want this to end: I need at least another hour to soak in the hard and heavy vibes.
Read More The Slow Attack: Higher Than This!It’s no secret that Evil Leaf has been a favorite on this site ever since they released their single, Tenebris, a few months ago.
