The Doom Charts For July 2022

“Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.”
~ William Somerset

Hi everyone. Just wanted to state the obvious once again. I love my fellow Contributors from the Doom Charts. All of them do majestic work for the Doom Charts and more importantly, for the scene! They tirelessly slave on their respective blogs, podcasts and websites. And they do all of that for their undying love and fealty to heavy rock. Much respect! And of course, there’s another part of the heavy underground that we perhaps should pay more homage to. And we shall do that henceforth on the Doom Charts… The record companies! Cause even though many of the bands featured on the Doom Charts do it all themselves. There are a few nutcases out there, that just like the rest of us Doom Charts Contributors, did not know where to go with all that love for heavy rock. And so, they went on and founded a record label to spread their love for the good stuff! Well, thank you! Thank you all! Cause we do love putting the needle to the groove, gazing for hours on end at the artwork on the cover and sniffing that brandnew jewelcase! So, thank you all you heavy rock loving nutcases, thank you for founding your label, finding the albums you loved and wanted to put out on your label and doing all that work! As of now, we shall try and mention those labels… But we must confess, sometimes, it’s not clearly marked on the band’s websites…

Hi everyone, July has come and gone, and once again we have been blessed with a massive amount of great albums. No less than 215 albums received votes… And the forty with the most votes can be perused below… And at the very bottom, we’ve got a Doom Charts Mixtape again… Featuring the chosen tracks by the Contributors that blurbed about a certain album… Go listen and go doom! It’s why we do this!

Those crazy Contributors went all out again... So it's here... The all new July Doom Charts... Featuring once again all those heavy rock albums they all love so dearly...

Personal votes went out to: AAWKS, Voidward, SAMÁN, Wizzo, Trillion Ton Beryllium Ships, Paralyzed, Sons of Arrakis, Lucid Grave, Black Capricorn, MY SLEEPING KARMA - OFFICIAL, Mexicoma, SupaSonic Fuzz, Formation Ritual, BIRTH, Ian Blurton's Future Now, Josiah & OBIAT !

And we’ll listen to the entire list once more starting with Number 40, STÍU NU STÍU in the next couple of days… Before we leave for Krach Am Bach festival in Beelen, Germany…

Supasonic Fuzz – Cobracadabra

 

Supasonic Fuzz – Cobracadabra
Orzorock Music – 2022
Rock, Stoner, Desert, Garage
Rated: *****

Sometimes the weather is so incredibly hot, everything around you seems to self combust... Or it might be that due to that wild music you hear! Sometimes an album comes along that immediately explodes its way into your heart from the first moment you hear it. Cobracadabra is such an album! Cobracadabra is the sound of danger. Of lighting a piece of dynamite and finding out your hand is glued to it. No way of escaping; so, you are hypnotized by that ever-shorter fuse, that sizzling little spark and your impending doom. And even though we love to think that there are many albums that are this explosive, the truth is that there are only a few that will blow you and the world around you to a million little pieces. The three Italians from Supasonic Fuzz deliver an album that marries manic garage to stoner riffs and desert freak outs. It’s a perfect hit and a proper rock ‘n roll battering ram! Detonating drums, swirling guitars deliver as much freakiness as you can handle as well as punch you in the gut whenever they attack with that feverish kamikaze energy. And then there are the vocals, sounding like a savage wild man, making it all turn even more into a gothic, psychotic, rock noir and punkish stonerrock extravaganza, with a menacing atmosphere and an intense bite. The crazy fire burns like molten lava here and we cannot control ourselves, we need to dive in headfirst. And you will not bop to the surface before third track Pork Chop Express begins; and you will only have a minute before it all becomes frantic and frenzied again. Fourth track Echoestorm is their most desert, stonerrock outpouring, and out it pours, with those phantasm like vocals, giving it all once again a deranged vibe. Of course, the closing eleven and half minute long battleship called Black Ivy Ghost also comes along to give you that hard trucking stoner sound. But due to the pause, and the secret voodoo outro at the end, it sort of becomes this spirited unholy incantation, that makes you forget all the dangers you have been exposed to during the past forty-five minutes. Sometimes an album comes along that immediately explodes its way into your heart from the first moment you hear it. Cobracadabra is such an album!
