This is the debut album from US doom band Frayle.
I enjoyed 2018’s The White Witch, which was a hugely impressive entrance into the doom metal scene. We now have the band’s first full length album, and across 37 minutes the band prove that their first EP was no fluke. Frayle have got a real talent for their charismatic and atmospheric form of doom. Continue reading “Frayle – 1692 (Review)”
This is the debut album from UK doom metallers Godthrymm.
Featuring ex-members of bands such as Anathema, My Dying Bride, Solstice, and Vallenfyre, there’s a wealth of experience underpinning this release, and it’s used well. Continue reading “Godthrymm – Reflections (Review)”
This is the eighth album from French doom metallers Monolithe.
Monolithe can do no wrong in my humble opinion. Across many releases, (here, here, here, here, here, and here, for example), the band have consistently delivered the sort of quality, engrossing doom metal that just keeps drawing you back no matter how much time you give it. Okta Khora is no different in this regard. Continue reading “Monolithe – Okta Khora (Review)”

This is the fifth album from Grey Skies Fallen, a progressive/melodic doom band from the US.
I enjoyed The Many Sides of Truth from 2014, so this new release is well-received. Continue reading “Grey Skies Fallen – Cold Dead Lands (Review)”
Body Void and Keeper are both US doom/sludge bands, and they have teamed up to deliver this split.

This is the debut album from Megalith Levitation, a Russian stoner/doom band.
There’s only four songs on this album, but with a total duration of 77 minutes, Acid Doom Rites is a whopper. Continue reading “Megalith Levitation – Acid Doom Rites (Review)”
This is the second album from Third Island, an Irish post-metal band.
Dusk and Omelas showed a band developing and growing into their style well, and Unspeakable is the latest chapter in their continued journey. Continue reading “Third Island – Unspeakable (Review)”
This is the third album from The River, a doom metal band from the UK.
Featuring a member 40 Watt Sun/ex-member of Warning, The River play traditional doom metal bolstered by a skilful interpretation of the style. Continue reading “The River – Vessels into White Tides (Review)”
This is the second album from US doomsters Year of the Cobra.
I always enjoy Year of the Cobra’s work. Both …in the Shadows Below and Burn Your Dead were characterful displays of doom metal, played with skill and talent. As such, I’m pleased by the band’s return on Ash and Dust; 41 minutes of guitar-free doom anthems. Continue reading “Year of the Cobra – Ash and Dust (Review)”
