Coldfells are a blackened doom band from the US. This is their debut album.
This is a blackened doom release that really does blur the line between the two styles. Is this doom metal with a distinctly blackened feel to it, or is this black metal with a doom metal veneer? Possibly more the latter than the former, but either way, the Continue reading “Coldfells – Coldfells (Review)”

Goya are a doom metal band from the US and this is their third album.
Here we have 40 minutes of blissfully hypnotic stoner doom metal, replete with grand fuzzy riffs, psychedelic noodling and more dark, hazy atmosphere than you can shake a bong at. Continue reading “Goya – Harvester of Bongloads (Review)”
This is the second album by Finnish doom band Ever Circling Wolves.

This is the third album from US doom band Flesh of the Stars.
How time flies. It was only a couple of years ago that Flesh of the Stars impressed the Hell out of me with their very endearing debut album, Hide. Since then, I’ve somehow missed out on them releasing a second album, and they’re now on their third release, Anhilla. Turns out they’re quite the prolific band. Continue reading “Flesh of the Stars – Anhilla (Review)”

This is the second album from Irish doom metal band Dread Sovereign.
2014’s All Hell’s Martyrs was an absolute stormer of an album, and definitely one of my favourites from the doom metal genre. After catching them live at last year’s Damnation Festival, I was very excited to eventually hear some new material from the band. Finally, the wait is over. Continue reading “Dread Sovereign – For Doom the Bell Tolls (Review)”
This is the second album from Finnish doom metallers Altar of Betelgeuze.
Full of fuzzy stoner riffs, this is stoner doom metal that has bitten off a good chunk of death/doom and regurgitates it across these 49 minutes.
Like a more underground version of Continue reading “Altar of Betelgeuze – Among the Ruins (Review)”
