Suncraft – Welcome To The Coven

 

 

Suncraft – Welcome To The Coven
All Good Clean Records – 2025
Rock, Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Stoner, Speed
Rated: ****

Welcome to… Welcome To The Coven! Suncraft’s back alley ritual where punk, stoner and black metal all showed up drunk and ready to hustle and fight! The Oslo five-piece have bottled their mania into a forty minute blast of pure ruckus that should make little sense. But it does anyway, it’s Suncraft’s way to destroy all expectations. Their name might whisper stoner, but this is not it, this is a demolition of all genres, and they do so with a malicious grin! 

Battering ram Ragebait kick things off like a lit fuse, pick slides, blast beats and enough TNT to blow up the entire neighborhood. But just as you are bracing for the explosion, Suncraft’s shifts gear and seamlessly into a majestic groove. Immediately revealing their biggest forte, showing their chaos with open hands and then squeezing it into needle point precision…

Their three guitar madness is a high-wire act! Riffs spiraling, tumbling and swapping with an incredible aloof kind of swagger. It all feels improvised, but well, it clearly isn’t! The only thing that seem to keep this on the ground is bass player and vocalist Rasmus Skage Jensen and drummer Tobias Paulsen’s manic drum work. Well, until they detonate too! Dynamite stuff! Addictive, unruly and the kind of pandemonium you love to wake up after being knocked unconscious…

The Doom Chart for August 2021

 

 

Doom Charts

    “When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.”  ~ Nelson Mandela

It feels like the end of an era. And it actually is. Cause Bucky is leaving us. No, don’t get me wrong, he’s not ill, sick or dying. The man is just leaving the Doom Charts and the online world. Which will be a big miss for us heavy rock loving fiends. The man has been an ever present presence in the heavy music community for years. And he was one of the cats that was with the Doom Charts from the beginning and when the time came that the ever growing group of contributors needed to be lead and guided, he naturally grew into that role.

Every month we would send him our votes. He’d whip us into action and make sure we delivered votes and blurbs on time. He was there to keep in touch with all the record companies, the PR-firms, the bands and our faithful readers. Juggling all that; on top of everything else that life throws at ya, family, work, moving across country, is one hell of a job. And he did a hell of a job and more! I’ve marveled constantly at his omnipresence. He was articulate, knew his stuff and responded to every question that got asked… He was a gentleman and one you could always ask for advice… Even when it wasn’t about music… He will be missed. Not just because of all the work he did, but because he is one of the good people… And you know… Good people listen to good music…

Bucky Brown, go do your thing, be good to the people around you and keep spinning all that majestic vinyl… Perhaps some of us will meet you one day at a live show going berserk or digging through some crates in a dubious record store in a rundown part of town… And remember… Should you ever need us… For any reason at all… We will be here… ~ Joop Konraad

Yep, Joop is correct and I am in tears over here as I head off into the outlaw sunset. Thanks Joop for the kind words, and thank you to everyone who has contributed, followed, shared and participated in the Doom Charts throughout the years. YOU are the heart and soul of the Doom Charts. You’re all in good hands and the Doom Charts remains alive and well, except for on April Fools day 😉..  But hey, enough about me, the meat and potatoes lurk below with all the bells and whistles. 24 of 25 brand new albums entering the charts this month of 216 unique albums voted on. As the Stoner Rock Army General says, 'Rock On'! ~ Bucky

Personal votes went out to: Stone Cadaver, Van Groover, Monobrow, Halfaya, Green Lung, Suncraft and Terminus! But I could and should have voted for all those others as well! Man; what a month! Stunning! We’ll be listening to all those albums in a row in the next few days… Starting as usual with the Acid Magus album Wyrd Syster… Check’m out! Check’m all out!

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…
