This is the fourth album from Greek doom metallers Acid Mammoth.
I enjoyed 2021’s lumbering Caravan, so was pleased when the enormous snout of Supersonic Megafauna Collision appeared on the horizon. Delivering 42 minutes of new material, Acid Mammoth double down on their personable brand of doomgroove across these six new songs.

This is the debut EP from international doom metal band Euchridian.
It’s taken me a while to get round to this one, but I’m glad I finally did. I knew I wanted to give it a go due to Euchridian featuring current and ex-members of Barshasketh and Of Spire & Throne, both bands worthy of your time. Continue reading “Euchridian – Philia (Review)”
AAWKS are from Canada and Aiwass is a one-man act from the US. Both play psychedelic doom.
The Eastern Scrolls is a 28-minute concept split release that consists of one track from each band. I’m totally unfamiliar with both AAWKS and Aiwass, but how could I resist giving this a listen with that striking cover? Continue reading “AAWKS/Aiwass – The Eastern Scrolls – Split (Review)”
This is the third album from Swedish rock band Moon Coven.
Moon Coven play a mix of psychedelic rock and stoner doom that has a touch of the progressive about it too. Across 46 minutes Sun King blends these styles into a warm, personable album of good tunes and good vibes. Continue reading “Moon Coven – Sun King (Review)”
This is the fifth album from the US heavy metal band Spirit Adrift.
I’ve always enjoyed what Spirit Adrift offer, (check out Chained to Oblivion, Curse of Conception, Divided by Darkness, and Enlightened in Eternity), so new album Ghost at the Gallows is most welcome. Continue reading “Spirit Adrift – Ghost at the Gallows (Review)”
This is the third album from US doom metal band Thunder Horse.
After the Fall contains 40 minutes of quality doom. Spliced with elements of classic heavy metal, stoner, and hard rock, alongside splashes of psychedelia and progressive rock, Thunder Horse have crafted an album that’s worth spending some quality time with. Continue reading “Thunder Horse – After the Fall (Review)”
This is the sixth or seventh album, (depending on who you ask), from Japanese doom metal band Church of Misery.
Born Under a Mad Sign is a 55-minute Black Sabbath-influenced slab of humungous doom metal. It sounds pretty much exactly as you’d expect it to with this description, but it works well, and this is a very enjoyable album that should also find favour with fans of bands such as Electric Wizard, Sleep, Corrosion of Conformity, Orange Goblin, Trouble, etc. Continue reading “Church of Misery – Born Under a Mad Sign (Review)”
Gozu are a stoner/grunge band from the US and this is their fifth album.
Remedy contains 49 minutes of stoner rock and metal mixed with a healthy dose of grunge. Imagine a mix of Clutch, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, and Mastodon, and you’ll have a decent idea of where Gozu are coming from. Continue reading “Gozu – Remedy (Review)”
This is the debut album from German doom metal band Daevar.
With a promo blurb that states this is for fans of bands like Windhand, Monolord, Black Sabbath, Sleep, and Paradise Lost, Delirious Rites delivers 33 minutes of hypnotic gloom for the listener to get lost in. Continue reading “Daevar – Delirious Rites (Review)”
Dust Prophet are a US doom/stoner band from the US and this is their debut album.
One Last Look upon the Sky delivers 54 minutes of charismatic music. A sandy mix of stoner, doom, psychedelic, and progressive rock/metal, Dust Prophet provide the listener with a warm and gritty example of the style. Continue reading “Dust Prophet – One Last Look upon the Sky (Review)”
