One of my favourite bands, that no one has heard of, is back with a hefty double LP of their trademark anarchic and demented stoner metal. There's a good variety of material on offer here, short, catchy and aggressive punky numbers, longer, almost... See full review

Sludgey Doom that's nice 'n' slow and as heavy as an anchor strapped to an anvil that's tied to a millstone.
If you're a fan of real doom metal, then get this EP.

32 minutes of brilliant female-fronted trad doom by a band who really understand the genre. Vocalist / guitarist Krista Van Guilder is a veteran of the scene, being an ex-member of Warhorse and has really turned in a superb vocal performance this time... See full review

Entertaining and well-done heavy psych / doom from Leicester's Prophets of Saturn. Plenty of fuzzed-up, down-tuned Electric Wizard worship, albeit with better vocals (not Jus Osborne's greatest strength, singing). At times becomes somewhat hypnotic,... See full review

It takes some balls to make a metal concept album, especially when it consists of just one 37 minute track with an environmentalist message (and giant robots), but these guys have made a record that is not just one of my favourite stoner metal albums,... See full review

Promising ep of sorrowful doom from Greece's The Temple. The band are obviously influenced by Warning (as evidenced from their accomplished cover of Footprints) without becoming a sound-alike. The huge riffs and mournful vocals promise much for the... See full review

Dea Marica deliver 5 tracks of emotionally-charged doom heavily influenced by bands like Warning. For me, this is exactly what real doom should sound like, mournful and bereft.

For me, Winter's one and only full-length passes all the tests of a truly classic album - it seems to reveal something new on every listen and still feels fresh almost thirty years after it's initial release. Although I've always considered it a... See full review

A masterclass in contemporary Funeral Doom - crushing, suffocating riffs relieved by heavenly, ethereal moments of beauty.

This single 52 minute track album is an impressive piece of doom metal engineering. Like an aircraft carrier or a long-range bomber, the size is impressive, but also, in common with those huge military behemoths, every part is necessary and it... See full review

A hefty dose of swedish "true" doom that is as understated as it is intense. The six tracks are driven by a super-solid rhythm section, on which the disembodied vocals and sometimes crushing, sometimes airy, guitar work of Thomas Jäger are hung. To... See full review

Decent enough album of stoner-influenced heavy metal / hard rock. The execution is extremely competent with some nice lead breaks. However, there isn't really anything here that we haven't heard dozens of times before.
