Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and album reviewers from the heavy underground around the globe. Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom, sludge metal, stoner-psychedelic and heavy rock albums. The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below. This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world…
Check out Marc-Eric Gagnon’s top 36 albums of 2019 below. Marc is the man behind the Montreal Handmade boutique guitar pedals StoneFly Effects. His main notoriety however is his insane vinyl record collection, where I am certain he owns each and every one of the albums below on his list. The guy doesn’t miss a release in the heavy underground vinyl scene. Thanks Marc for sharing your picks with everyone following the Doom Charts.
