Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
Void King are ten years deep and still havenât bothered to sand off a single splinter. Thank fuck. With Chapter II, theyâre just slamming it through a different chunk of space rock, carving slow-burning sermons into the walls of whatever celestial ruin theyâre holed up in. Itâs a kind of relic. Feels less like a […]
This record drags you by the teeth. Miss Lava hit 20 years and didnât stop to throw a party. They lit the fucking cake on fire and shoved it through a Marshall stack. Under A Black Sun is heavy like end-times prophecy and thick with that fuzzed-out, doom-psych lava roll that makes your speakers sound […]
Letâs get one thing straight: Satanic Panic Attack isnât trying to impress you. It doesnât care about your playlists or your genre tags. This thing came howling out of the Norwegian wastelands like a grease-soaked demon on a chopper, middle finger raised, speakers blazing, and no goddamn brakes. HĂ NDGEMENG arenât here to reinvent the wheel […]
Introduction: Due to time constraints as regular individuals running Witching Buzz and focusing primarily on writing reviews, we are limited to publishing only one (occasionally two) review(s) per day. However, we strongly believe in providing greater exposure to deserving bands and musicians who have put in immense effort. As a result, we have launched a new section called âWitching […]
Thereâs a certain kind of doom album that doesnât just sound heavy – it feels both heavy and raw at the same time. Not just in the low-end rumble of the riffs or the sheer weight of distortion, but in its atmosphere, the way it pulls you under like slow-moving tar. The Rider is that […]
Amammothâs path has never been about playing it safe, and with Distant Skies and The Ocean Flies, theyâre not holding back. From the first demo, Inhale, to their debut The Fire Above, this bandâs been working on something heavy, slow, and dirty. And theyâve nailed it again with their second full-length. This is a band […]
For over 25 years, Greenleaf has been one of the real ones. What started as a loose jam between friends turned into a full-blown force of heavy rock, keeping the spirit of â70s riff-driven music alive without feeling like a throwback act. Now, Revolution Rock Deluxe takes us back to the raw, early days – […]
PLASMAJETâs âSolastalgiaâ firmly stakes its claim in the stoner metal realm – an audacious record that wears its influences on its sleeve while refusing to be pigeonholed. This isnât your run-of-the-mill metal album; itâs a raw, unvarnished exploration of heavy, fuzz-drenched grooves and off-kilter rhythms. Recorded during the harsh winter of 2023/2024, the album encapsulates […]
Sludge metal has always been a genre of scars – riffs forged in hardship, tempos sinking under the weight of their own despair, and an unfiltered honesty that leaves no room for pretense. Broncoâs self-titled debut embodies this ethos with a sound that is as gnarled and unrelenting as the North Carolina earth from which […]
Thereâs an unspoken expectation when dropping the needle on an OCULTUM record. You brace yourself. You prepare for the sheer weight of it. Their past two albums, Ceremonia Oculta Primitiva and Residue, established the Chilean trio as a crushing force in the underground doom/stoner/sludge scene. With Buena Muerte, they donât just reaffirm that status – […]
