“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going into the Doom Charts. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

~ J.R.R. Tolkien (probably misread quote)

The midyear mark has passed, and with it another massive month of heavy albums the Doom Charts couldn’t wait to get their mitts on. Like Gollum and his precious, we adored and could scarcely tear ourselves away from one release after another, driving ourselves into a frenzy that would put a citrus colored goblin to shame. But enough Tolkien jokes, filthy hobbitses, ascend… Mount DOOM!

Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and 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…

1211 Points
Stoner, psychedelic, fuzz, stoner metal, stoner doom, space rock
Fargo, ND, USA
Argonauta Records

Signor Morte Improvvisa absolutely flows with well considered tempo changes intertwined with spacy ambience balanced by hard driving riffs. The music creates beautiful sounds scapes that are reminiscent of Italian westerns from the 1960s. This album will leave you feeling like you are on the edge of one of North Dakota’s majestic landscapes, a feeling of looking into infinity.
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

24. DEAD MONARCHS – TITAN / NEW!
1570 Points
Stoner Metal, Heavy Metal, Hard Rock
England, UK
Self-released

UK Stoner Metal Mob DEAD MONARCHS‘ debut album TITAN lives up to that name in a great way with their music hitting every groove-tastic corner of the Heavy Metal arena. With a twinge of NWOBHM to spice things up. The record has a classic Hard Rock sound with the pounding rhythms and aggressive vocals allowing the band a slight Groove Metal approach. Christ, the band even adopt a snarling Northern England PUNK ROCK based attitude just to add a determined GRIT to their music.

There’s an Orange Goblin swagger within certain parts of the record but still allowing DEAD MONARCHS to carve out their own style of music within the twelve tracks on show here. You can also hear echoes of bands such as Barbarian Hermit and Morass Of Molasses within DEAD MONARCHS‘ music which allows this to be a fantastic UK home grown record with a dominant Heavy Metal sound with catchy lyrics to immerse yourselves with.

DEAD MONARCHS add a high amount of wicked Classic Rock guitar solos which do still retain a Stoner Metal appeal with a jagged fast-paced approach. TITAN feels like an album made by METALHEADS for METALHEADS which makes even the whole damn record even more enjoyable especially on the more fantastical parts placed throughout the album.

TITAN is an action packed and superbly entertaining release. End Of.
~ Steve Howe (Outlaws of the Sun)

23. BURNT LUNG – BURNT LUNG / NEW!
1606 Points
Metal, doom metal, heavy underground metal, sludge, stoner metal, stoner rock
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Self-released

Excellent stoner metal from Vancouver. High energy doom. A really awesome mix of metal styles, classic, doom, stoner and some sludge as well. Excellent songs that keep my head banging. Super fuzzy guitars in front of pounding drums…the semi harsh vocals are perfect for the mix. This is not for the faint of heart. BURNT LUNG, more please!!!
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

22. THUNDERDOPE – MOTORSATAN / NEW!
1690 Points
Stoner Rock, Desert Rock, Heavy Psych
Berlin, Germany
Stonify Records

THUNDERDOPE’s sophomore EP, MOTORSATAN, sees the band heavily expanding upon their high octane stoner rock roots and honing in on their signature sound. While keeping true to the gritty, turbulent nature of stoner rock, the band adds plenty of heavy psych, garage rock, and an insane amount of groove to their repertoire. The result is four devilishly catchy tunes boasting more variety and a sophisticated sound that will appeal to fans of many genres of heavy music.
~ Stephanie Zalta (DoomCakes, Screaming From The Heavy Underground)

21. GODS & PUNKS – DEATH / NEW!
2106 Points
Doom, Stoner Doom, Space Rock, Prog
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Electric Valley Records

GODS & PUNKS is a Brazilian doom metal band, who formed in 2013. Their latest release, Death, is their fifth full-length album; they have already five EPs and a live album. The South American doom scene is crazy good and I can’t think of one band from the scene that I haven’t enjoyed. Somehow, this album is the first time I’m hearing GODS & PUNKS‘ brand of doom…and I’m blown away.

Death, is a doom metal album, pretty close to stoner/psychedelic tendencies with some rock and roll elements. This particular genre is stuffed to the brim with all kinds of bands of varying qualities. Do we need one more? Yes, yes we do. Why? Because Death is a fresh sounding album with a unique approach.

It isn’t any one thing that makes it unique—the overall album just sounds different from anything else I’ve heard from the stoner genre this year. Maybe it’s the vocals, which are expressive and equal parts hazy and soaring. Perhaps it’s the rock and roll aesthetic that makes their brand of doom especially catchy and smooth. Oh I know what it is. It has to be the Gothic, gloomy atmosphere that most stoner bands don’t have. Oh wait…it’s actually the progressive approach to the songs, infusing all these styles and little details into a sound that changes regularly but hangs onto its roots. Actually, it is all that.
~ Justin Wittenmeier (Metal Temple, DoomedForMetal)

20. DOOMBOYZ – EVIL RIFFS FROM LOS ANGELES/ NEW!
2388 Points
Grunge, Hard rock, metal, stoner, doom
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Wet Records

Rock ’n roll! Unholy swagger straight out of some dubious drinking hole on a worn down piece of strip in Los Angeles! With a definite eighties touch the four that make up DOOMBOYZ, deliver seven tasty jams on Evil Riffs From Los Angeles. Riffs galore and sweat dripping guitar work, complemented by wild vocals and feral drumming. And when you get to record at Studio 606, run it all through the famous Sound City Neve 8028 console, where on the other end Robert Adam Stevenson captures it all, mixes and masters it, you know your songs will get the very best of treatments. With Evil Riffs From Los Angeles you’re in for a wicked ride!
~ Joop Konraad (Stoner HiVe)

19. SARAJAH – SARAJAH / NEW!
2915 Points
Proto Doom, Traditional Doom
Finland
Argonauta Records

Essences of British doom smashed together with elements of USA doom performed by a band from Finland, all sounds a bit weird doesn’t it? Only it’s not weird, in fact it borders on genius because the result of this smashing together is one of the must own doom albums of the year.
~ Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist)

18. SHUN – DISMANTLE / NEW!
3262 Points
Metal, post rock, rock, heavy rock
Asheville, NC, USA
Small Stone Records

A wonderful heavy release from SHUN. Heavy but tasteful riffs with some post-rock shoe-gazy sounds as well. Excellent vocals on Dismantle, and they suit the introspective songs. The varied tempos and musical themes make this hard rocker an enjoyable listen!
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

17. KING BOTFLY – ALL HAIL / NEW!
3263 Points
Metal, rock, doom, stoner
Portsmouth, UK
Necromagnetic Records

KING BOTFLY bring the goods! Hard heavy rock with Metal tendencies that are well written and executed. It’s heavy but not overly, also displaying its psychedelic elements proudly. At just over thirty minutes it goes quickly and leaves you wanting more. Good stuff here.
~ Andy Kovalcik (Bandcamp-NYP-Hard&Heavy)

16. DRUG HUNT – FEAST / NEW!
3514 Points
Psych, Krautrock, Post-Punk
San Diego, CA, USA
Bad Vibes Good Friends

Emerging from San Diego’s fertile psych scene, but distinct from it, DRUG HUNT’s debut full length, Feast, is precisely that. If I had to compare them to another band in that group, it would be Volcano. The diversity of instrumentation and slightly unhinged presentation of the vocals (think Beastmilk’s Kvohst) call to mind something more sinister than the placid soundscapes typically conjured by their Southern California brethren. That’s not to say that DRUG HUNT are any less effective. Indeed, the progressive twists and turns of the bacchanal contained herein make Feast one of the very best debuts of the year.
~ Ben Bellum (The Greatest Thing You’ve Never Heard)

15. KING ZOG – SECOND DAWN / NEW!
3962 Points
Doom, Sludge, Traditional Doom
Perth, Australia
Rue Morgue Records

This record came out of nowhere for me and knocked me right out. KING ZOG bring unadulterated, massive doom with sledgehammer riffs and a creeping, plodding energy that’s somehow both warm and sinister. The seemingly straightforward songs are anything but, as epic atmospherics, wildly imaginative solos, and surprising instrumentation pull the listener into new depths within each track. And the vocals and lyrics? Dead on. Eerie, yet relatable, the songs hit home. This is an album that when I hit play, I’ve already got a smile on my face. Kneel before Zog.
~ Kyle SB (Good Boy PR, Stoner HiVe)

14. JUPITER CYCLOPS – AGE OF THE UFONAUT / NEW!
4336 Points
NWOBHM, Proto, Stoner
Phoenix, AZ
Rockshots Records

Don’t let their (awesome) name fool you. While the band did get their moniker from Spacegrass, JUPITER CYCLOPS is no Clutch clone. Far from it. The veteran musicians that make up the band are more Maiden than anything remotely stoner rock, evidence being the absolute shredding happening on their first record, Age of the UFOnaut, and a song like Doomed, as if it is East London circa 1982. The proto vibes with the four piece are strong, leveraging influences like UFO in multiple aspects to create a killer eight track debut that is here to kick your headbanging ass.
~ Rich Piva (Musipedia of Metal, FuzzDoomRip)

13. OUTER HEAD – COSMIC VIBRATOR / NEW!
5040 Points
Doom, Psychedelic Rock
Leeds, UK
Self-released

Spaced-out doomsters OUTER HEAD return with Cosmic Vibrator, arguably their heaviest release yet. The band keeps true to form with their hypnotic doomy drone, waves of atmospheric psychedelia, cosmic sci-fi grooves, and creeping tendrils of sinister occult rock. Composed of four tracks and a forty-five minute runtime, Cosmic Vibrator delivers an entire saga, including the nearly nineteen-minute juggernaut of a song Elyon that ends the album with a phenomenal showcase of OUTER HEAD’s stylistic prowess. This is an utterly bewitching album that has the power to both spellbind and rock your world.
~ Stephanie Zalta (DoomCakes, Screaming From The Heavy Underground)

12. THE SWELL FELLAS – RESIDUUM UNKNOWN / NEW!
6090 Points
Prog, Psych, Stoner
Nashville, TN, USA
Self-released

Psychedelic music fans can rejoice as Residuum Unknown by THE SWELL FELLAS becomes their new holy grail among the ancients.

When the inevitable date of our universal demise occurs, the earth will slowly be pulled into the clutches of a black hole. Never again will it be free of this grasp. Not until it is one with the ever unknown. On the other side will await THE SWELL FELLAS to provide the soundtrack to a new place in the cosmos. Starting over with a wash of soft seduction, massive tones emitting from orbiting stars, the pulses flutter and the psychedelic nature of how we were created now becomes clear. Clean vocal style over heavily psychedelic, fuzz drenched prog helps symbolize a mystical newness for a neuropath of psilocybin. Forecasting the magic as it was intended.

Though it may be a place of fantasy to look this far into the distance, THE SWELL FELLAS help the mind develop visions of a happy place within such chaotic motions.
~ Bobby Rayfield (Monuments In Ruin)

11. LAND MAMMAL – EMERGENCE / NEW!
6555 Points
Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock
Dallas, TX, USA
Self-released

“Heavy” and “meditative” are two words that seem to conflict, but LAND MAMMAL has made this style of psychedelic rock their specialty, and they execute it beautifully. Their second full-length album, Emergence, is one of those albums that flows in such a perfect, seamless way, each song pouring its energy into the next like water from streams into rivers into oceans. While each stop varies in both composition and intensity, the transfer itself couldn’t be more natural. Emergence demonstrates LAND MAMMAL’s ability to create immersive, meditative psychedelic rock utilizing soaring, mesmeric vocal and instrumental compositions, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a spiritual, healing experience for the heart and transcendence for the soul, simultaneously empowering and soothing.
~ Stephanie Zalta (DoomCakes, Screaming From The Heavy Underground)

10. WORSHIPPER – ONE WAY TRIP / NEW!
8172 Points
Hard Rock, Old School Heavy Metal, NWOBHM
Boston, MA, USA
Magnetic Eye Records

WORSHIPPER have been a favorite band of mine for years now and with One Way Trip they continue to secure the fact that they are one of Boston’s finest. The hard rocker ‘Heroic Dose’ opens the album with some tasty riffs and the powerful vocals that tell the account of a youth being sent off to the Vietnam War. The deep lyrical themes are plentiful throughout the entire album and add an extra dimension to the overall experience.

‘Windowpane’ is my favorite track, encapsulating sounds from the 80’s metal era, almost like it could’ve been from a Dio or Scorpions album. A ballad by design, the catchy melody and vocals are wildly nostalgic, and the subtle addition of synthesizers add to the depth of the song especially during the building chord sequence at the end. ‘The Spell’ features some twin guitar attacking harmonies, another supremely well executed chorus, and a fiery solo that tears up the fret board. WORSHIPPER are masters of songcraft as they know how to construct, arrange, and write top notch tunes and with One Way Trip they’ve done it again with hooks, grooves, and riffs to last for days!
~ Jon McGough

9. POHL – MYSTERIES / NEW!
9348 Points
Garage psychedelic noise rock metal
Sheffield, UK
Wrong Speed Records

Mysteries is not a soft fairy-tale sound that lets you float into lulling spheres, but a phenomenally professionally polished, bold, surreal, wild and bludgeon-heavy cosmic-sludge-noise-rock-metal chunk that will whip you in the stomach with blackened gentleness and unpredictable violence! The POHL duo, consisting of former riff shredder of HEY COLOSSUS, Will Pearce and Dr Linda Westman of former death-sludgers Old Hope conjure up a hell of an album debut with brutal-motoric riffs, excessive drum work, unexpected vocal interludes and immersed in a thousand atmospheric, iridescent facets which blows the spit out of our mouths and for which we, humbled and covered in ashes, have gladly waited the past years.
The bar for groundbreaking noise has to be recalibrated from now on! Excellent!
~ Mel Lie (Sunday’s Heavy Tunes)

8. OLD HORN TOOTH – MOURNING LIGHT / NEW!
12444 Points
Heavy, doom
London, UK
London Doom Collective

After a 4-song EP published five years ago, we must admit that we didn’t expect much from the new album from OLD HORN TOOTH. However, what a slap in the face! In four brilliant heavy doom songs (which last between 14 and 21 minutes!), the London trio offers us a real true monster. No words strong enough can describe what I felt when I first listened to this album. When I discovered the song “Mourning light”, I haven’t felt like this since… Empress rising from Monolord… 10 years ago… So, thanks to OLD HORN TOOTH for creating this goosebumps machine who will accompany me for a long time.
~ Damien Regnauld (Stoner Freaks Anthology)

7. BLACK CAPRICORN – SACRIFICE DARKNESS AND … FIRE / NEW!
14184 Points
Doom, Metal, Stoner, Traditional Doom
Sardinia, Italy
Majestic Mountain Records

I know we throw “Album of the Year” around pretty loosely but this is a top ten, nah, top 5 contender. Supremely heavy, Sacrifice Darkness and … Fire stands like a monolithic stone temple in a dark forest, casting its shadow between the trees and into the landscape and deafening all within its reach with a sonic blanket of doom. This album is expertly crafted and recorded. BLACK CAPRICORN really throw their weight around on this album.
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

6. LORD BUFFALO – HOLUS BOLUS / NEW!
15240 Points
Desert Rock, Dark Americana, Neo Folk
Austin, TX, USA
Blues Funeral Recordings

Against the backdrop of a billboard-nation that fell so madly in love with its own mythology it has been repackaged and rebranded to the point of obsolescence, Austin’s LORD BUFFALO continue to evoke the primitive sounds and aeons-old wisdoms of the wild prairies they call home. Much like its namesake suggests, Holus Bolus’ immersion is instantaneous: from the moment the needle hits the wax, and the eponymous opener lets loose its scathing diatribe – turning its back against mountains of glass – stirring winds and violin strings cut right to the bone, tidal grasslands sway between fingers and toes, and a violent euphoria swells and crashes with every overwhelming surge. A powerful lament against such destructive transformation before their very eyes, Holus Bolus, at its heart, is desert music. As raw and as organic as the ground beneath their feet, this haunting yet meditative pièce de résistance is more real than any story, long since discombobulated, the country dares try to sell you.
~ JC Cansdale-Cook (The MotorFuzzin’ Ibex)

5. DUEL – BREAKFAST WITH DEATH / NEW!
16896 Points
70s rock, rock, hard rock, heavy psych, fuzz, stoner rock, stoner metal, metal, retro rock
Austin, TX, USA
Heavy Psych Sounds Records

Heaviest DUEL to date. Kickass Texas rock and roll. DUEL is reaching new heights with Breakfast With Death. This is no simple 2 eggs and toast, this album cooks up a full meal of heavy riffs, great vocals, killer songs and a side of bacon (ok not the bacon).
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

4. MAGMAKAMMER – BEFORE I BURN / NEW!
23250 Points
Stoner, Doom, Psych, Rock
Oslo, Norway
Self-released

My goodness, we had to wait a long time for the follow-up to the great album Mindtripper. Six years is a long time, but the wait was definitely worth it, because the new long player Before I Burn is terrific. MAGMAKAMMER from Oslo are very reminiscent of the super cool Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats – this is just to give you an idea of what the band from Norway sounds like and to give you a rough idea. If, like me, the last Uncle Acid… disappointed you, you absolutely have to listen to this work, although you can’t go wrong by buying it without having heard it – you should also get the predecessor at the same time. The 44 minutes of the album start with the famous “Doom Jive”, which booms out of the speakers so beautifully – wonderful guitar sounds, cool melodies and a high intensity put a smile on your face. This is followed by the slow, doomy “Cyanide Fever” with great organ and wonderful leads towards the end. The title track that follows starts off wonderfully psychedelic, then picks up speed halfway through and becomes a really forward-moving rocker. Finally, I would like to recommend the very interesting number “Cult Of Misanthropy”. The track starts off very sparsely, bluesy, calm in a great atmosphere. It builds up with riffy guitars until the psychedelic vocals come in, although the basic riff of the song remains. Now the drums are banging and if you don’t have to bend your head along to this, you’re not a real music lover – sensational title. The four tracks not mentioned are up for you to discover for yourself. I can’t say at the moment whether I like Before I Burn or Mindtripper better. But one thing is clear: if you love the doom charts, you’ll love this album.
~ Tom Schmahl (Rock Circuz)

3. OCCULT WITCHES – SORROW’S PYRE / NEW!
25515 Points
Hard rock, blues rock, classic
Sherbrooke, Québec
Black Throne Productions

Smokestacks roar and the landscape is layered with stoner ash as Sorrow’s Pyre by OCCULT WITCHES ignites everything within earshot as it passes.

With a foot firmly fixed to the gas pedal, this vehicle is fully fueled and ready to burn through your stereo. If you want rock, you’ve got it! These riffs are bathed in the blood of heavy blues rock legends and are not afraid to use this vehicle as a catalyst to forge new roads of their own. The blistering riffs will cut down anything in the path, leaving only charcoal, unsettled earth and burnt speaker cones.

This record is not a joke. The next time someone questions the modern music landscape, show them the smoldering embers from Sorrow’s Pyre.
~ Bobby Rayfield (Monuments In Ruin)

2. SACRI MONTI – RETRIEVAL / NEW!
25922 Points
Psychedelic rock, stoner rock, hard rock, rock
San Diego, CA, USA
Tee Pee Records

The San Diego scene produces some of the best heavy underground bands in the world and SACRI MONTI carries on the southern California stoner psych tradition with Retrieval. Huge in scope, excellent songwriting propels this album into the upper stratosphere of the heavy underground scene. Killer guitar solos, thrilling drumming and clockwork bass lines give off 60s/70s hard rock vibes while still sounding completely modern. A triumph!
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

1. ORANGE GOBLIN – SCIENCE, NOT FICTION / NEW!
50721 Points
Metal, stoner metal, desert rock, hard rock
London, UK
Peaceville Records

Using fuzzed out riffs, ORANGE GOBLIN assault 2024 with a treacle thick sound that swirls into the atmosphere with feedback, sound effects and tunes that were birthed in a swamp somewhere. With a lot of the songs under 6 minutes, ORANGE GOBLIN use the track lengths to fully explore the dark/seedier side of 60’s/70’s psych with lashings of stoner rock that are laid upon a doom foundation and served up with extra creepiness. This experience is not about being cowered into submission with aggression or decibels but is more concerned with tones, colour, a human touch or emotions. Vocals are a prayer that are offered up in the vain chance that the dread and despair in life are eased but from the wails and croons, you can know there will be no help offered.

Fuzz drenches everything with its sonic embrace, making these distorted jams epic anthems which are dedicated to the higher beings who dwell in the Church of Riffs. These voodoo sex mantras have huge outbursts of slow, thick-toned solos running through them with hex like properties making it impossible not to nod out to them. Take a dark, slow, sleazy trip into the minds of ORANGE GOBLIN – but beware – this cult will be very hard to escape from – and would you want to?
~ Tony Maim (Black Insect Laughter, Stoner HiVe)

Science, Not Fiction is the album you want to break out to your friends and show them that the heavy underground isn’t just a bunch of droning doom, but it also has bands that will kick you in the ass and make you get up and rock the fuck out. This is a sativa amongst so many indicas in the heavy underground.
~ S Patrick Brooks (The Heavy Underground Farm Report, Outlaws of the Sun)

ORANGE GOBLIN dropped a proverbial bomb on both the underground and mainstream Heavy Metal scenes. Ben Ward gives us a heavy dose of sobriety without the usual kumbaya bullshit that sometimes goes along with it and hits us all where it hurts most- our brains! This is “thinking-persons” ORANGE GOBLIN, a plea for rationality and reason in a world polarized by opposite ends of the insane. Forget that this is their tenth album and forget all that pub and biker bar nonsense. ORANGE GOBLIN has always been smarter than the rest of us, and 9 tracks of maximum tunage prove it with blunt intensity.
~ Scott Spiers (CleanAndSoberStoner, Monster Riff)
