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.

Read more "FRIDAY FREEBIE – WATCHMAN"SLUDGEBUCKET – SLUDGEADELIC As we near the curtain call of another Friday Freebie bonanza, none other than Oakland, California duo SLUDGEBUCKET keep us moving with their EP Sludgeadelic, recorded live in the studio and released this past March.

Read more "FRIDAY FREEBIE – LORD VELVET"DIXIE GOAT – ORDER, CHAOS, LIFE AND DEATH The doom rolls on, and another South American titan is here to carry the torch. DIXIE GOAT released Order, Chaos, Life and Death in December 2023, and the album is chock-full of righteously gritty, thick slabs of stoner and doom metal. Dig it. Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist) […]

Read more "FRIDAY FREEBIE – ASH EATER"“Dooooooooooom!” ~ (probably misheard) line from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan The Third Friday of the month, high time for the Doom Charts Peroration for March 2024. That show of dedication and love for more of the albums floating around the Heavy Underground. We cannot stress enough that the Doom Charts is a […]

Not only doom in all its dark and deadly forms, but all the other strains of heavy and metal out there. […]
