Mountain Of Misery – Shades Of The Ashes

  

Mountain Of Misery – Shades Of The Ashes
Electric Witch Mountain Recordings – 2025
Metal, Doom, Psych, Grunge
Rated: ****

It had its merits, but I wasn’t immediately sold on that debut release In Roundness by Mountain Of Misery back in 2023. Fear and trepidation might also have been a factor. What would this mean for the amazing Spaceslug? But as we all know, Spaceslug released their damn fine Out Of Water album a year ago and are going relentlessly forward. And so is this other project by Spaceslug drummer and vocalist Kamil Ziółkowski. Mountain Of Misery ’s fourth release is here, and the steady upwards march is real. An eight track grunge toned, psychedelic doom adventure that breathes atmosphere. Inhaling shoegazing moments and exhaling thunderous riffs, drawing endless vistas with charcoal and slowly tattooing its qualities into your heart…

Morning! And yes, we know, it’s Tuesday. But due to a one day holiday, minor break, a hike through the Ardennes we did not have a chance to put up the Top 10 Most Listened Artists of the past week yesterday. But here it is, and with the glance back to last week. Where we had little time to do much HiVe work. But hey, the April Doom Charts went live and that already means, forty albums to check out! Add to that the Quick Fire Friday it means, chuck full! And I hope all of you checked out that Single and Video Premiere we did for Superseed! Cause Stand Your Ground is some highly addictive stuff! Don’t think we can do much more this week, but who knows, we will definitely try! Have a great one!

Week 19

Mountain Of Misery – In Roundness

 

 

Mountain Of Misery – In Roundness
Electric Witch Mountain Recordings – 2023
Doom, Grunge, StonerRock
Rated:

Opening with some quite familiar desert stoner licks, the album continues much more doom and further on, it takes you on a dark melancholic journey. Accompanying you on your trek is a desperate voice that leads you deeper and deeper into loneliness and sorrow. Beware of the bottomless, swirl into dreariness, grief, bleakness and misery. Founded this year, Mountain Of Misery is a new project from the drummer/vocalist of Spaceslug (also drums in O.D.R.A and Palm Desert). And on December 1st, a brand-new single, featuring “Anthem Of Sadness” and “Tears Are So Tired” is added as a supplement to complete the different physical releases.

Another week in the books. I must admit I was really miffed about the fact that FB decided to delete the November Doom Charts. It was spreading among the followers nicely and there was already a lot of work invested the whole thing. It’s so annoying that you cannot do anything about it when it happens. And it took me a little while to find new energy to try and do something new to get the word out again about all those amazing albums. But I’m glad I did.
Above is the list of albums we listened to the most the past week. A week that saw the passing of  bar poet Shane MacGowan, which of course had use revisiting some of his work. May he rest in peace. A week that also had us scribbling something about The Fulcrum and saw Kyle SB write something about Almost Honest which came in 3rd on the November Doom Charts. And for you bands out there, Kyle SB has decided to start it’s om PR project called Good Boy PR. So, you might wanna check that out! A long with all those albums mentioned above! Yes! All of ‘m!!
