Nine Altars – The Eternal Penance (Good Mourning / Journey’s End)

I don’t know if it’s just me but I have the sneaking suspicion that true doom (or traditional if you like) is doing its phoenix act again and rising from a death like slumber to avoid association with other sub-genres… Continue Reading →

The Bottle Doom Lazy Band – 2005-2020 Doom Over The Years (Sleeping Church Records)

R.I.P. – Dead End (Riding Easy Records)
