Slow, groovy, sludgy, heavy, doomy, fuzzy, and bluesy are ways that fans have described the band’s style, in addition to incorporating styles such as stoner/desert rock, hardcore, and occasionally even black metal. ... more

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed!

This just has some great vibes all around - from the energy of 56th Floor and Symphony of the ironic sympathy to the gentle, laid back Soul Keeper - it’s worth the time to listen to it all.

Nothing as the Ideal
by All Them Witches
All Them Witches are back, with more tense, psych-blues numbers that ratchet up the tension & then explode.

Pummeling doom from this Italian group dusted with heady psychedelia for songs that are brutal and trippy at once.

Zahn, from Berlin, bring the sludge rock, with distortion-caked riffs and humid atmospherics.

Thick filthy drums made me fall in love with this record. Also there's a lot of catchy melodies and riffing. That's best stoner records of the year for me.
