Doom Charts

“I see The Doom Charts…” “In your dreams? While you’re awake? How often do you see them?” “All the time. They’re everywhere…”

I see the Doom Charts… But luckily we see them only once a month. On the First Friday of every month, the new edition of the Doom Charts go up. It doesn’t feel like they’re everywhere and all the time, right? There is no Doom Charts overkill is there? Cause even though we do the Friday Freebie sessions and we do the Peroration Post, we try to limit the amount of Doom Charts posts. Cause we’re only here to try and guide you all to albums that comes straight out of the Heavy Underground and that we feel need to be heard by everyone… Sure, there are some big names among them, sometimes. Or big names to the Heavy Underground ears. But the Contributors all feel that the albums we vote for every month, should be heard by everyone. And there is so much. There really and truly is. This month, 221 different albums, all received votes. That’s another 181 albums that aren’t featured among the forty below. And soon, the year-end-lists will start appearing. All of them listing the top albums of 2022. And if you consider the fact that we all keep discovering new amazing albums from past months and past years as well… We can only conclude that we live in amazing times, musically speaking… If only we could get our act together on all the different fronts as well.. Than we all would truly be rocking! But hey, below, especially for you, the esteemed heads from the Heavy Underground, are the November 2022 Doom Charts, with 37 brand new entries to rock out to! Go rock! Go roll!

The Doom Chart For May 2022

 

 

Doom Charts

The May 2022 edition of the Doom Charts is here! Only two entries carried over from the Forty we published back in April. I’m sure you can do the math, but that means, 38 new albums listed! Of a total of 255 that received votes. Although that wild ECSTATIC VISION album carried over from that post of pure adoration called Peroration. Madman Tony Maim wrote back then:
 
“ECSTATIC VISION have a heavy, sun-drenched psychedelic/stoner sound that pays tribute to 70’s hard rock. Vocals are clean and put through reverb for a great trippy effect. Riffs are plentiful and the dirty fuzzed sound is perfect to get your head moving. But – before you start to get too comfortable, ECSTATIC VISION throw in passages that start to pile on the intensity with meatier playing which morph Hawkwind with The Stooges! This is the good shit.”

And he was right! It might be the final post from Tony for a while, for he is taking a breather. Catch you on the flipside Madman! But, we’re also welcoming back Tom Hanno and the join-up of Monster Riff founder Pat Schober. Welcome on board, let’s set sail for uncharted waters and listen to some good and heavy stuff!

May is all sorts of heavy and heavy of all sorts! Just peruse that new edition of the Doom Charts! So many great releases once again...
 
Personal votes of the ones that made the list went out to: Wo Fat, Besvärjelsen, Ecstatic Vision, Geezer, Red Moon Shaman, UFOMAMMUT, The Same River, Stöner, Wucan, Helms Alee & Red Sun Atacama...
 
Will be doing a rundown of the entire May list in a row once again starting today! And starting with that awesome Red Sun Atacama album DARWIN!
