For your listening pleasure, please enjoy this thorough, yet non-exhaustive, overview of what’s currently going on with doom metal in France. No pale copycats, no bullshit; just true, heavy stuff – from old pioneers to the most recent newcomers.

Curated by Steph LeSaux and dedicated with much affection to the memory of Sylvain Auve (1969-2018) from Northwinds. Cover design by Rodolphe Beuchet based upon an old sketch of the infamous executions during the French Revolution.

As with all of our compilations, ‘Doomed & Stoned in France’ (2018) is available to you sans frais.   If you dig the music, please show the bands some love!

Give ear…
