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 what’s rocking their world in the heavy underground scene. The results are compiled and tabulated into the Doom Charts. This is a one-stop shop for the best new heavy albums in the world.
Bands, labels & PR reps:
Please send album submissions via email to stonerdoomcharts@gmail.com and/or to the individual blogs & websites listed below. For the Doom Charts do not review themselves, they just blurb about the ones that make the list that month…

No facebook page plans in the works at the moment, but I’d never say never. You’ll notice in the top lefthand corner of the toolbar is a “follow” button, you can click on that and get all doomcharts posts emailed to you.

I’ll keep it short: THANK YOU VERY MUCH for putting these charts together every month. I frankly don’t care about the rankings, but I do appreciate the fact that you/this site brought so many bands/artists on to my radar screen that were new to me. This is my one stop shop to check out new doom material, so yes, thanks again!

Why is there no chart for Jan 2017? Are you skipping this month?

We are doing the monthly at the end of the month. We ended the year with the best of and decided it made more sense to do the January list at the end of January beginning of February to highlight the best of January. Make sense. We didn’t really skip a month. Thanks for reading.
