The September Doom Charts went live two days ago; and since then we’ve been listening to all forty of them in a row, any moment we have. We’ve just started our playthrough of Number 25, Path Of 1000 Suns by Umbilicus. “Well, in Greece we have a saying that roses spring from thorns, and the brilliant debut of Umbilicus is testament of that. Tasty 1970s-infused prog rock with an excellent sense of melody and a sweet sound that flows like warm whiskey down a weary traveller’s throat. The band’s influences range all the way from Hendrix and Kravitz, to early Deep Purple and some touches of Skid Row.” Ioannis Valiakos from Desert Vulture stated. So, we’re sure to start scoot boogying over here!  September was a great month for music once again; and looking at the releases for October and November; things are going to get hot and heavy once again! Enjoy your week! And keep listening to all that heavy stuff out there!

The Black Angels – Death Song

The Black Angels – Death Song

Partisan – 2017

Rock, Psych

Rated: ****

With their 2010 album Phosphene Dream they made the 13th position of the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of said year. The Black Angels now on to their fifth full-sized album called Death Song. Another hint towards where they got their bandname from and now their album title. And anyone who loves The Velvet Underground is alright in my book and can call me an idiot any day. On their new album they once again serve us high octane psychedelic rock with a definite garage edge. And always with so much heftiness that the psychedelic nature of the band only can barely keep up with the heavy side of things. This time they also scour through some of the eighties and new wave influences. But rest assured, the sixties are there and in raw form. And that is how we like our Angels. Raw, naked and black as death!

Number 13

Number 13

The unlucky number sees a bit of a surprise return to the psychedelic sixties once again. This time around we delve into the history that Jefferson Airplane and the likes have left behind. Producer Dave Sardy known from his work with Barkmarket, Band of Horses, Black Mountain, Oasis and Wolfmother took on the job of giving these a bit more air in their production; but still leave a small wall of sound in place. A picket fence of sound you might say. Behind this picket fence we find that sixties sound filled with psychedelic exploration in many directions; not just the Airplane side of things which they adventured through their first two records. No, on this third one we can also hear some Kinks and Cream and this is a welcome relief. Perfect for these dark times and the number 13; cause the music is black, obscure and ominous…
