Stygian Crown – Funeral for a King (Cruz Del Sur)

The return of Stygian Crown has come just at the right time. Their 2020 album, “Stygian Crown” saw them obtain my second best record of 2020, and I’ve been waiting for an excellent epic doom album since the last Thronehammer… Continue Reading →

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 →

Doomocracy – Unorthodox (No Remorse Records)

Epic Doom, what is it good for? Absolutely everything, of course. I do love me a nice slab of epic doom, being a huge fan of Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Solstice…the list goes on. So, when Doomocracy were advertised as being… Continue Reading →

Spiritus Mortis – The Great Seal (Svart Records)

The great Finnish doom band Spiritus Mortis has been in existence since 1987, and ever since that time have been plugging away producing quality classic slow metal. I last encountered the lads with their superb 2016 album, “The Year is… Continue Reading →

Agnes Vein – Deathcall (Venerate Industries)

Right off the bat, I really wasn’t sure what I was going to get when I popped this CD into the player. The only things I knew were that Agnes Vein were a Greek band, but upon further inspection I… Continue Reading →

Khemmis – Deceiver (Nuclear Blast)

Ah, the much-anticipated return of modern heavyweights Khemmis has finally occurred. This is the fourth album by the Colorado heavy hitters since their first release back in 2015. Now operating as a three piece, their previous albums have all been… Continue Reading →

Flame, Dear Flame – Aegis (Eisenwald)

Female fronted doom, vicar? Well, it’s a worn path, and one that can be trod well from time time. Personally, I was a massive fan of 90’s one-album wonders, UK doomers Mourn and their incredible music. Flame, Dear Flame hail… Continue Reading →

Olorin – Through Shadow and Flame (Rafchild Records)

I know a bit about the Lord of the Rings books, having the distinction of being not only a fantasy and sci-fi nerd, but also a pen and paper role-playing game fan. My first experience of this was playing Middle… Continue Reading →

Grief Collector – En Delirium (Petrichor)

Right off the bat, I have to declare myself as a little biased when it comes to this review, as I’m a huge fan of vocalist Robert Lowe. Not only was he the lead singer of one of the most… Continue Reading →

Wheel – Preserved in Time (Cruz Del Sur)

Germany’s Wheel made quite an impression on me in the last couple of years, their tape “Live at the Hammer of Doom 2013” was pretty special, and their last release was I think my first lockdown purchase, along with a… Continue Reading →

Carcolh – Life and Works of Death (Sleeping Church)

A spot of French Doom, sir? Oooh, suits you. I don’t know too many French doom bands in all fairness, but it seems that Carcolh have a decent pedigree, being formed in Bordeaux and Saint-Nazaire back in February 2016. I… Continue Reading →

Tyrant – Hereafter (Shadow Kingdom)

Tyrant (California, USA) made a couple of classics which are well loved (‘Legions of the Dead’ and the killer ‘Too Late to Pray’) in the 80’s and then returned in ’96 with the well-respected ‘King of Kings’. All three of… Continue Reading →
