Read more "DOOM CHARTS – APRIL 2024"WATCHMAN – CURSED In fitting fashion, this month’s Freebies end with none other than low, slow, and thoroughly fuzzed out DOOM. Indiana’s WATCHMAN spread their apocalyptic sound ever further on third album Cursed, and the lethargic, nodding riffs hit just right. Dank, hazy, you name it, this is a murky record that oozes pure Sabbathian […]
