Number 11

 

 

Number 11

After that one point jump from Number 13 to Motorpsycho on Number 12 we now jump a hundred and forty points to find three bands occupying Number 11! Indeed, a definite huge leap in points for three definite amazing and damn fine albums! Slowly crawling up this list makes me once again appreciate all those albums you all voted for even more. The ones we already passed and the ones still to come. And I can’t even comprehend the amount that did not make the Top 20 that are so freaking amazing! But you guys and girls voted and this is how it turns out. With one album bringing evil honey from a magic mountain. The other a bass-heavy groove, detuned guitars and mind-expanding lyrics. And the third classic rock, classic stoner rock and every bit of class you can think off. Listening to the first one will have you enjoying that progressive, psychedelic doom metal goodness that flirts with the occult and dances with their stonerrock influences on the tightrope of the macabre. Listening to that second album will set you off into out space; but it is the space of doom and the doom of space. Once again, psychedelic and progressive is key here, and metal, so much metal and the key unlocks the treasure room of a dark majesty. The third album is all about everything classic, all out bluesy and wickedly stoner. They bring it all for the Sabbath, the Zeppelin, The Marshall Tucker and Grateful Dead lovers, to sort of quote our very own Bucky Brown. He knew the deal and you all did when you voted so much for these three albums… So on Number 11 we find:

Heavy Temple – Lupi Amoris

&

Kal-El – Dark Majesty

&

Void Commander – River Lord

The Doom Chart for June 2021

 

 

Doom Charts

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.” ~ Jim Morrison

Amen Mr. Morrison, can you come back and join our hard rock revolution? Time to put down the act, societal roles are overrated, we must stand up and fight for our right to party. Or is this the end my friend? I imagine Jim would be quite unhappy about the way the media has contorted reality lately, but what he would be blown away with is this months Doom Charts!! What a month. The year is halfway over and like the weather in the northern hemisphere, the global output of heavy underground music is heating up. Without further ado, let’s dive into the June Doom Charts.

Let’s indeed do that! Let’s deep dive that stuff! Cause we weren’t around for this month’s edition. We were travelling hard through the French vistas and slow up those mountains. But upon our return we are giddy with anticipation of checking all those June Edition albums that made the Doom Charts. Cause there are quite a few we did not hear yet and we are glad to see many of the albums we voted for before or would have voted for this month made the final list. Vokonis, Yo No Se, Spacemetal, Pale Keeper, Dunbarrow, Seum, Savanah, Tarlung, 10,000 Years, Shun, Boss Keloid, Heavy Temple and ofcourse the Number One: King Buffalo! Which we wrote a little thing about back in May... Man, and then there are about 20 others we need to check out! Which will dive into immediately! Let’s check’m out! Check’m all out!
