Occult Vibe Haven (OVH)
I gave Hallowmas a few spins, and I’m still wrestling with it. I can tell you that it’s a heavy album, that’s for sure. The guitars are thick—like thick—and I kind of dig that. It’s not your standard doom drone either. There’s an energy in there, something that moves more than I expected from something […]
Listening to Borehead’s Vita est Morte est Vita feels like stepping into a vast, shadowy world. This South London trio doesn’t use words to guide you through their music – everything they have to say is in the sound. And it’s a lot. Across four tracks, they build layers of heavy, fuzzed-out riffs, pulsing basslines, […]
Some albums demand your attention right out of the gate, and Sangue e Veleno by Deep Valley Blues is one of them. This isn’t music that eases you in; it pulls you by the collar, throws you into its heavy, mud-slicked riffs, and doesn’t let go until the last chord fades. It’s raw, heavy blues […]
With Saturnalia, Wizzerd drops an album that feels both grounded in classic Stoner/Doom Metal and unexpectedly expansive. This one’s heavy, hazy, and unhurried – basically everything you’d want from doom, but with a spacey, cosmic vibe that adds a whole new dimension. It’s the kind of record that makes you want to just sit back, […]
Hell Valley High has delivered a solid punch with their debut full-length, Welcome to Hell Valley. The album is a powerhouse of groove-heavy, riff-driven tracks that pull from the rich tradition of desert rock and stoner metal. With clear influences from giants like Kyuss, Fu Manchu, and Monster Magnet, Hell Valley High still manages to […]
Bozoo’s debut album, simply titled Bozoo, hits like a freight train and leaves a lasting impression. This Italian band has composed a sound that’s both heavy and immersive, pulling you into their unique blend of stoner rock, grunge, and alternative influences. Right from the start, you can feel the energy; the fuzzy guitar riffs and […]
Eye of the Golem’s latest album, Nigredo, hits hard in all the right places, delivering a deeply atmospheric and weighty post-metal experience. It’s a slow burn, but that’s what makes it work so well. The band has taken their heavy, sludgy riffs and combined them with more experimental touches – industrial, psychedelic, and some seriously […]
EPIC DOWN’s debut album Days of Oblivion lands with a heavy, deliberate thud—exactly what you’d expect from a doom-sludge duo, but with a bit more depth than just slow riffs and crushing drums. There’s a lot of weight in this album, not only in the music itself but in the themes it carries. It’s clear […]
With #ChaleurHumaine, POSTE 942 brings their signature raw energy and unpolished charm to the forefront, reminding us why they’ve been a staple of the French underground scene since 2010. This latest album is an untamed, no-holds-barred exploration of sound that shows the band is still full of surprises. Right from the first track, #ChaleurHumaine comes […]

Right from the start, with the “The landing”, the album […]
