The Doom Chart for February 2021

 

 

Doom Charts


For most of us this time last year we were getting our first taste of the COVID blues. Fast forward to 2021, and it appears there is some light at the end of the tunnel. In many areas live music is making its way back on track, cases seem to be trailing off and we’re beginning to ease into a sense of normalcy. That said, the music continues to blow our minds and has remained a staple while everything else around us seemed more like pandamonium. 


February features a tight race at the top with many albums clearly influencing the listeners. Several records from January hang on for another round this month seeing 21 new entries dominating the charts as per usual, with a total of 279 unique albums voted upon.


No quote this month. Nobody knows why. But we don’t need quotes, we need music! And there she goes! The wait is over... The all new February edition of the Doom Charts went live on March 1! Featuring no less than 21 new enties and a new Number One! Will be running through all of those amazing albums once again today. There are even a few I haven't had the chance to listen to yet! Incredible! Zålomon Grass for instance! Can't wait to hear that one!  Personal votes went out to From The Ages, Kabbalah, Mos Generator, VOKONIS, Demon Head, Electric Mother, Komatsu, Rostro Del Sol, Holy Monitor, Indica Blues, Void Commander & Spelljammer… 


Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and album reviewers from the heavy underground around the globe.  Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom, sludge metal, stoner-psychedelic and heavy rock albums.  The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below.  This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world…

Electric Mother – II

 

 

Electric Mother – II
Self released – 2021
Rock, Hard, Stoner, Grunge, Metal
Rated: ****

I’ve never had the honor to visit the Orkney Islands in Scotland, even though Highland Park was one of my early whisky favorites and I have always had a terrible lust to visit Hollandstoun and the rest of the islands. And now there is another reason for a big trip north; cause the five-piece Electric Mother hails from those magnificent islands! And the quintet has just self-released their sophomore album II on both vinyl and cd and give us a tasty combination of nineties alternative metal, grunge, stoner and hardrock. It’s got groove, it’s got heart and it’s got soul! Low slung, low punk, bass heavy, massive hooks and damn fine guitar colors! Just listen to a track like Treacherous with those marauding guitars and that almost eighties aura. That certain classic quality is ever present and gives it that special touch; as if you’re listening to something that you simply can’t live without. It will make you relive certain musical memories and envision new melodious fantasies! And it’s got nine of these marvelous tracks! Electric Mother’s II is one hell of an eclectic and majestic record!
