Marécages: Marais Juana – Une Ode Cannabique LP (swamp green with black splatter)

March 14, 2019 by mugwumb

This abomination arrived last week and I have kept it hidden in the basement since that day.. Blah blah, actually it has been right beside my turntable, waiting to get some serious spinning. That day was today. This ain’t nice record at all, it’s kinda abnormity of doomed death/sludge.. something sick and I just love it! This record is intended to be played at the highest possible volume and have to admit it’s quite purifying experience. Limited to 75 copies […]

Captain Caravan: Shun The Sun LP (transparent yellow)

March 13, 2019 by mugwumb

Don’t know what’s wrong with the drinking water in Norway but yet again amazing stoner/hard rocking album from the country better know of its blackened metal scene. Had to choose between this album and some bills I was going to pay.. Well, it’s quite obvious how that went at the end. Band is mixing 70s sounds with hard rocking stoner and as we all know by now, that concept can’t go wrong. Cursed Tongue Records is behind this release and […]

Yatra: Death Ritual LP

March 11, 2019 by mugwumb

“There’s no sunshine when she’s gone…” Well, this record hasn’t seen the sunshine and maybe it’s better that way. Raw & dirty, doomed stoner metal with creepy vocals. Band is Yatra and their debut album follows the name “Death Ritual”. I listened this album via BandCamp few times and find it interesting enough to spent some money on it. Darkened is the road they are following and I’m walking right behind. This album is released by Grimoire Records (US) and […]

Taiga Woods: Taiga Woods LP (green)

March 11, 2019 by mugwumb

More I listen to this more I find myself enjoying it. Taiga Woods, never heard of this norwegian band before but decided to order this with Absent’s album from Cursed Tongue Records (I really like the idea of releasing two albums at the same). Well, this psych/stoner/hard rocking record has earned its place in my record shelf. Don’t know but these groovy, fuzzy tunes are forcing me to move my legs across the floor. Limited to 100 copies on green […]

Silver Devil: Paralyzed LP (marbled)

March 10, 2019 by mugwumb

Now we are talking! Damn I love this fuzzed stoner/psych/doom album by swedish Silver Devil. In my opinion this album is so near perfection that I could cry, yes it’s that good. I remember that I took a sneak peek of their previous album when it was released and skipped that (can’t imagine what the hell was I thinking back then..). One more record to my wantlist though. Sadly this LP version is limited only to 100 copies which sounds […]

Son Of The Morning: s/t LP (purple/black merged)

March 10, 2019 by mugwumb

Shame on me, this arrived months ago and it took way too long to give a proper spinning time for this beauty. Talking about Son Of the Morning and their same titled debut long-play released by DHU Records. Mixing doom, occult rock and stoner this band can’t go wrong. I like this record, that’s why I bought it, simple as that. Still available via DHU Records (EU) or from the band’s BandCamp site (US). Since I have listened way much heavier […]

Absent: Towards The Void LP (green transparent)

February 7, 2019 by mugwumb

Wow! Here we have little heavier release. Brazilian Absent with their debut release “Towards The Void”. Psychedelic Funeral Doom as band itself describes their music on their BandCamp site. I agree even though the end of the third track goes straight to blackened metal. Brilliant! Thanks to Cursed Tongue Records for bringing this alive on vinyl format. Dark & hopeless this record surely is but that’s what makes it so beautiful. This limited version is gone from the source, Cursed […]

Rifflord: 7 Cremation Ground / Meditation LP (Die Hard edition) & Cassette version

February 7, 2019 by mugwumb

Yeah, got this album by Rifflord few weeks ago from STB Records. Bought this also on cassette version from Teschio Dischi (didn’t manage to get that most limited cassette version but I’m good with the one I got). Like this album a lot, more than just a lot. Bluesy stoner with some southern influences, match made in heaven. I’m a huge fan of STB Records and this was obvious purchase. Have to admit that I was little surprised that STB […]

Potion: My Blade Enslaved LP (black & white mix)

February 3, 2019 by mugwumb

Holy shit what a killer release from this Australian stoner/doom outfit! Big thanks to Black Farm Records bringing this alive on vinyl format. This record is heavy and filled with hopeless darkness. Little do I know about this band but they have released two cassettes before this album (actually there’s two tracks included on this album from their previous cassette release “Women of The Wand”). This vinyl version is sold out but I suggest you to purchase that “regular” version […]

Lightsabres: A Shortcut To Insanity LP (green/white)

February 3, 2019 by mugwumb

My precious.. Fifth album from Lightsabres, this time released by DHU Records (favourite artist & one of the best labels there is). Made a deal with myself about six years ago when Lightsabres debut album was released that I’ll buy everything this artist will ever release (Demons was so brilliant, and still is). Love these garage/stoner/grunge/fuzzy/lo-fi albums John Strömshed keeps recording. Damn this latest sounds as great as all previous albums (got this on cassette version too). Even though I […]

Ommadon: End Times LP

January 30, 2019 by mugwumb

This doomed one moves as slow as tectonic plates (embraced by eternal darkness) deep under the surface of the earth. Ommadon and their perfectly titled latest album, “End Times”. With only two-track on this album and they manage to crush your little life down under the ground. Never heard about this band before this album I came across while surfing around BandCamp. As said before this slow, crushing doomed (sludge) record keeps grinding your fragile bones slowly to dust. Limited […]

Devil’s Witches: “Velvet Magic” & “Porno Witches and Vietnam Veterans” Cassettes

January 30, 2019 by mugwumb

I’ve been overwhelming unlucky with vinyl releases of this band, every damn time. So, I went for these CS versions and finally the sun decided to turn its face to me. Bought these via Golden Dawn Recordings and finally I understand why people are after releases of this band, these are freaking brilliant! Stoner/psych/doom.. don’t really care about categories, I rather just listen the tunes and let my ears make decisions. My hairy ears are in love. Cursed Tongue Records […]

Cosmic Church: Vigilia 12″

January 28, 2019 by mugwumb

Last record I got my hands on during 2018. Twelve-inch from Finnish blackened metal artist following the name Cosmic Church. This was released few years ago and I was lucky enough to find this pristine copy from the local record store (pristine copy because the store owner got this straight from the artist himself). Prize tag on this was quite decent (about one third of what they ask from this on Discogs nowadays) so I couldn’t leave it behind. Nice […]

Domkraft: Flood LP (green translucent with purple & magenta splatter)

January 28, 2019 by mugwumb

Been a while but still here. This latest from Domkraft was one of the last albums I got last year. Was after that most limited version but got tired of hunting it so I ordered this color variation (makes me wonder why in hell I always try to get that most limited version..). Third album I own from this awesome doom/space/sludge group, and still loving every tune they put out. Hypnotic release with awesome illustration. This color version is limited […]

Lurk: Fringe LP (gold, Boxset)

December 19, 2018 by mugwumb

Don’t know if the band called Lurk say anything to anyone but here’s their latest album, Fringe. Have to admit that there’s only handful of domestic bands I follow nowadays, and Lurk wasn’t included until now. Years ago I bought Lurk’s debut album from their drummer (we worked under the same employer back then, as well as singer of Coughdust, guitarist of Korpiklaani etc.). Anyways, missed few of their previous records but few months ago I came across with this […]

Elder: Elder LP

December 18, 2018 by mugwumb

Found this, nearly pristine, copy of Elder’s first record from local record store. Have to admit that this band has been hiding in the darkness on my doomed path. Now that I’m listening to this album I just keep wondering how have I managed to avoid this band for so long. Maybe some day soon I learn from my mistakes. Timeless psychedelic-doomed-stoner album and place in my record rack is guaranteed. And what’s best, I didn’t pay myself sick when […]

Haunted: Dayburner 2xLP (DHU exclusive)

December 18, 2018 by mugwumb

Easily one of the best albums released this year and that’s my opinion. Been listening this a lot recently (mostly from the tape I purchased earlier, just wanna save the vinyl later you know). Doomed this album is and those vocals.. I’m in heaven. Beautiful release from one of my favourite labels, Dark Hedonistic Union Records (DHU). Now that I’m under the spell of Haunted I have to dig out that debut album from my record rack. This color variation […]

Dope Smoker: Legalize It LP (green)

December 18, 2018 by mugwumb

Pre-ordered his from Black Farm Records on April, finally it’s here (manufacturing this had numerous problems during the way). Bought this on cassette too because I just couldn’t wait vinyl version. Doomed stoner with obvious elements from grunge (or am I having some problems with my hearing?). This green colored vinyl is limited to 120 copies and there’s still white colored (limited to 180 copies) available from the label, Black Farm Records. Nice one, like a lot.

The Necromancers: of Blood And Wine LP (blood red stripes)

December 18, 2018 by mugwumb

Yeah.. When this one was available I waited too long with my decision and suddenly it was sold out. In the end the main reason for skipping was those sadistic shipping costs. For few weeks I listened this latest from The Necromancers via BandCamp and I knew that I must get my hands on this someway or another. Now it’s here. Bought this from some Discogs seller and paid about 10 euros more than it would have cost (with shipping) […]

Dopethrone: Transcanadian Anger LP (colored)

December 17, 2018 by mugwumb

Took a little while to arrive but finally it’s here (got me some extra seven-inch for compensation). What can I say, damn good record with same elements of dirt & danger as all previous albums. Love this record and it goes straight to my top 10 records of this year. There’s no band like Dopethrone and obviously some groups try to follow their filthy footsteps.. but there’s one to rule them all. Pow to the King! This colored one (Totem […]

Those Poor Bastards: Inhuman Nature LP (magenta/black)

December 17, 2018 by mugwumb

Never enough poor bastards.. Well, latest one from Those Poor Bastards, called Inhuman Nature. Some of you may know that for years I’ve been a fan of this darkened country act. These miserable characters still manage to bring some good old sadness under this sunless evening. Not the most limited version of this record, picture disc was limited to 100 pcs (not my thing), but I chose this color variation just because it looks kinda nice. This magenta/black version is […]

King Howl: Rougarou LP (red)

November 4, 2018 by mugwumb

Damn.. I got this album in my wishlist at BandCamp for few months. Then came the day when I listened it through once, for the second and third time. I was sold and I had to get my album in my collection. This is pure rock’n’roll, heavy blues, stoner combining so many elements and the result is.. just amazing! This Italian band is just awesome and I have check out their previous album as soon as possible. Album is still available […]

Hahaaaa.. Yes, I got both of these ep’s on cassette versions but as a vinyl freak I had to get these on superior format too. combining two epe’s on single disc and released on three color variation, blue (limited to 100 copies), purple (limited to 100 copies) & black (limited to 300 copies). Blue & black copies still available from band’s BandCamp site. Great band and great records! Now I’m just waiting rest of those EP’s to get cassette & vinyl treatment. […]

Hyperwülff: Volume Two – The Divide LP (white)

November 4, 2018 by mugwumb

Bought this one few months ago. This is my first touch with this group, Thanks to Creep Purple (awesome site promoting stoner/doom/sludge etc. releases). I like this record, it’s heavy, it’s loud. This version with backpatch & rolling paper was limited to 25 copies and long gone by now (for obvious reasons). If you like stoner/space/sludge/hardcore/metal then this could be one for you. Oh, white copy (limited to 100 copies) & regular black one still available via band’s BandCamp site. […]

Havukruunu: Rautaa Ja Tulta LP (grey)

November 4, 2018 by mugwumb

Finnish black metal at it’s best. I don’t really listen that much black metal but there’s few bands & groups I use to follow. This latest from Havukruunu is actually their first one, this was released digitally before their “debut” album “Havulinnaan”. Now this vinyl version has seen the light of the day and obviously I had to purchase it. Released on grey (limited to 150 copies) and on black (limited to 300 copies) vinyl. Both versions already sold out […]

Yeah. Time for some cassette update.. Sorry for those vinyl freaks (like I am) but lately I have found myself purchasing more & more albums in this format. Some of these I also got on vinyl but I love these handy little things as much I love every damn vinyl I have. Mostly stoner/doom stuff but there’s also some stranger tapes listed.

Insect Ark: Marrow Hymns LP

October 6, 2018 by mugwumb

Actually I bought this album months ago but just recently I have been listening it with thought (while warming a sauna in these early morning hours). Instrumental, doomed drone could be near the truth when talking about this latest from Insect Ark. Beautiful release from these two ladies. One more addition to my “Best of Fall 2018 Soundtrack”. Check out this one, it’s totally worth it. Available via Profound Lore’s MerchTable .

Demilich: Nespithe LP

October 6, 2018 by mugwumb

Really don’t know what to say about this one. Is this Death Metal taken to outer limits, if I may say yes. Even though I was quite a big fan of this genre back in the days it’s funny that even living here in Finland I managed to pass this band totally. Now on my old days I’m trying to fix errors made on that era. This album was released on CD & cassette originally (that might be the reason […]

Windhand: Eternal Return 2xLP (box, green/purple with splatter)

October 4, 2018 by mugwumb

Album I have been waiting for months to be released and yesterday it suddenly arrived at my doorsteps. Windhand is one of those bands I have been following for years now and my love towards this group is getting stronger album by album. Dorthia Cottrell’s solo album, released three years ago via Forcefield Records, was one of my favorite ones during 2015. Upcoming weekend I’ll spend some quality time with this newest one for sure. This so-called “Boxset” is limited […]

This is one of those records I have spotted via Creep Purple Promotion (great site spreading the word about upcoming stoner/sludge/doom releases). Atmospheric drone/doom/stoner album and a beautiful soundtrack for these darkening autumn nights. Really hope to hear more from this band in the future. Released by Ritual Productions and still available from the source on colored & regular black version. Note that I’m not here writing reviews, just want to […]

Witch Ripper: Homestead LP (Wasteland Edition)

Yet again killer release from DHU Records and this time it’s Witch Ripper’s debut album called “Homestead”. Monstrous riff fueled album filled with crushing stoner/sludge/doom/whateveryouwannacallit metal. These vocals remind me of some band whose name I can’t get out of my blurry brain. Anyways, really like this album even though listening it numerous times on repeat makes me wanna bang my cranium against the wall. This version is DHU exclusive, limited to 90 copies and still available from the source, […]

I’m so big fan of this band that I had to order these two once again (got original copies already) but hey, these are for heavy rotation. Ordered this bundle months ago but my order never reached me (seems that Postal delivery managed to lose my package) but now these beauties are here with me. Deep bow & humble thanks to Totem Cat Record for sending a replacement package even though this wasn’t TCR’s fault. Here we have a band whose […]

Thing I love the most are those lyrics and how perfectly music itself supports texts. Beautiful record if I may say. Little hard to fit this record on any specific genre but it’s kinda mixture of psychedelic -hard rock-stoner.. or something. Available via Kozmik […]

Today, exactly six years ago I started to write this blog. The journey has been challenging and at the same time rewarding but still on several occasions I have been ready to toss the gloves into a corner.. However, during my darkest hours I have come across some new, stunnig records, which have inspired me to continue this journey, to spread the word. Eternal Black’s Bleed The Days is one of those records. This record is filled with fuzzed, doomed stoner and it sounds dark and […]

Hah, another jewel released by Shadow Kingdom Records. This time we are talking about “Burst Into Flame”, awesome NWOTHM album from Haunt. Usually, when talking about purchasing records I use to listen (if possible) the whole album through via BandCamp or some other media before making any decisions. With “Burst Into Flame” it took only few minutes and decision was made. This record has nothing to do with stoner/doom etc. this is pure (traditional) heavy metal at it’s best. Limited […]

Never ever heard of this band before and have to say that the cover picture drew my attention and here we are now. Timeless doomed stoner-rock and damn good sounding tunes I have to say.

When this album appeared I was already moving forward in my adventures in the miraculous world of music. Few years back I started hoarding these treasures of my own time back and I found this masterpiece “again”. The fact was, however, that the original version was beyond my reach because of those prizes they are […]

Well, I bought it anyways just to realize that there must be so much unreleased material from Mika and his collaborations with other awesome artists, like this time with Franck Vigroux. I think that we are going to hear his beautiful sounscapes through numerous releases during upcoming years. My favourite artist among electronical music and I […]

Last Knell of Om is a monstreous mixture of doomed sludge/stoner with heavy psychedelic influences.
