Demonsmoke are a sludge/doom band from the US and this is their debut album.
Wearing their influences on their sleeves, Demonsmoke exist in the same world as bands like Eyehategood, Iron Monkey, Dopethrone, and the like.

Façade are a doom band from the Netherlands and this is their debut album.
Although you could probably label this band as death/doom, Façade are a lot more nuanced than a lot of death/doom bands, and the music on Loathe is an advanced-level exploration of mood, substance, and engaging content. Continue reading “Façade – Loathe (Review)”
Arkheron Thodol are an atmospheric black metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Atmospheric black metal is one of my favourite sub-genres. When it’s done well and you’re in the mood for it, there’s nothing quite like it. Continue reading “Arkheron Thodol – Thaw (Review)”
This is the debut album from US doom band Palehorse/Palerider.
