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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Beastmaker: EP 1. & EP 2. 12″ (transparent blue)

November 4, 2018 by mugwumb

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. […]

Cassette mayhem… part II

November 3, 2018 by mugwumb

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. SHROOMS CIRCLE: SHROOMS CIRCLE Lovely cover! Shrooms Circle with their sludge/doom/stoner release. Really don’t know much about this […]

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 .

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 […]

Ancient Lights: Ancient Lights 2xLP (cold with black splatter)

October 4, 2018 by mugwumb

Been listening this one quite much during last few months. 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)

October 4, 2018 by mugwumb

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, […]

Dopethrone: Dark Foil & III (bundle + poster)

October 3, 2018 by mugwumb

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 […]

Conan: Existential Void Guardian 2xLP (gold)

October 3, 2018 by mugwumb

Still here even though it has been a while since the last update. This latest from Conan arrived few weeks ago and due my working hours and a lack of free time, this has been spinning under the needle only few days now. Double album and that second vinyl is some live bonus (and for your information I haven’t been a big fan of live recording ever, and this one does not make an exception). Conan is Conan, what more […]

Black Prism: Black Prism LP (clear)

September 17, 2018 by mugwumb

Niceeeee.. This arrived today and holy hell I like this 70’s influenced stoner/doom act. Never heard of this band before but few weeks ago I came across this upcoming album via Cursed Tongue Record (label I have started love more and more these days..). Bought this CTR exclusive version on clear vinyl including poster & patch limited to 100 copies. Some may say that they have heard these riffs million times before. Well I haven’t and actually I do not […]

Eternal Black: Bleed The Days 2xLP

August 23, 2018 by mugwumb

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 […]

Alms: Act One LP (colored)

August 22, 2018 by mugwumb

Don’t know about you but I find this album from Alms very pleasing. Six songs on this record and it took about 3 minutes from the first track to purchase this album. 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. Vinyl came out on two colorway, on black (limited to 100 copies) and […]

Wolftooth: Wolftooth LP (gold)

Somehow I managed to miss this one on the first round but on the second round I got my sweaty hands on it. Cursed Tongue Records put few extra records for sale and I had to go through an internal battle on which one to go after, this or (((I’ M HEROIN))) by Mephistofeles. For obvious reason I went for Wolftooth, there were handful copies available and only one copy of Mephistofeles. Well, I have to admit that going after […]

Boar: Poseidon LP (green)

July 23, 2018 by mugwumb

One of those bands & records I bought only based on the recommendation by local record store owner. And once again he was right about the fact that this record is a little treasure on domestic scale at least. Blending doomed stoner to hazy psychedelic sludge the band has managed to put out quite impressing album. Funny thing here is the fact that the grass ain’t much greener on the other side of the fence after all. So here I […]

Morag Tong: Last Knell Of Om LP (bone)

July 12, 2018 by mugwumb

Last week I got this album from Morag Tong. Spotted the band via BandCamp and listened the album few times.. I was sold (like so many times before). Last Knell of Om is a monstreous mixture of doomed sludge/stoner with heavy psychedelic influences. Band is mixing so many styles & genres that the result is near perfection Picking this album you just can’t go wrong and surely one of those albums that should have been sold out long ago. Highly […]

The Red Widows: Rising 12″ (DHU exclusive)

July 3, 2018 by mugwumb

This freaking damn good 12″ came with that latest Grajo album. Here we have a twelve-inch EP from The Red Widows. Unknown band to me but seems that DHU Records manages to surprise me release after release. Groovy 70s influenced stoner/doom rock with vocalist who has been kidnapped straight from the stars. This is good, more than good leaving me wonder when they are going to put out their full-length? This HU exclusive version is still available from the source, […]

That album from Dozer ain’t the only little treasure I picked up from that local record store of ours. Original copy of Orange Goblin’s Thieving From The House of God in nearly perfect condition and also this one I got very cheap. I already have few albums from Goblin (Frequencies From Planet Ten & Time Travelling Blues) and this one is nice addition to my collection.

Here’s some dirty & dangerous doomed blues in your face! I came across with this band via Golden Dawn Recordings as I tried to purchase this album on cassette (surprisingly it was sold out..). Suddenly I noticed that Golden Dawn was about to give this one a vinyl treatment and I was like Hell Yeas!! Limited o only 100 copies on black wax this is quite hard o find item today, I was lucky enough to get one of those […]

Sixes: Methistopheles LP (Acid God Edition)

June 12, 2018 by mugwumb

This I picked up from the Post office today, album titled “Methistopheles” from group called Sixes. This is heavy, literally, filled with dirty sludge/stoner/doom/crust & darkness. Evil stuff released by Poisoned Mind Records (one of my favorite ones). This is still available from the source, even that deluxe edition I chose not to purchase this time (little low on money because this doomed house of mine is sucking all the extra pennies). This version here is “Acid God” one (limited […]

Well, now that I have listened this few times I have to say I kinda like this band a lot (lucky me because I bought this without knowing what was coming). Haa, now I have another band to follow. This version is limited to 125 copies and it seems that copies have […]

Actually I’m quite happy that I didn’t because as a vinyl lover I found out that this one was about to be released on vinyl too. So here it is, on white vinyl (ltd. 250) and still available via Dirty Filthy Records. Recommended if you find drone […]

Well, I skipped this bands debut (can’t say why..) but then I came across with this one, their second full-length and I was sold. Don’t know how to describe this record.. it’s like doomed metal with some darkened jazz in it or something. Anyways, it sounds freaking good. Love the atmosphere on this album and those vocals.. Must get my hands on that debut album too. I bought this copy of mine via Aural Music (according to Discogs there should […]

Year of Cobra, my favourite duo and their latest one that I grabbed via DHU Records earlier this year. I totally missed the launch of this EP and all those special versions but I’m more than happy I got my hairy/sweaty hands on this via DHU (released by Magnetic Eye Records). Love this one, and you should too. Magnetic Eye still have some nice variants available so what are you waiting for?

Hell yeah this is one damn good release, bluesy-fuzzed-stoner-rock and oh I love Suzi Uzi’s voice. This copy here is DHU Records exclusive version, limited to 90 numbered copies. And for your information, this and other two variants (plus cassette version that I still have to purchase) are still available from the source, DHU Records. Wondering […]

Instrumental stoner/doom/sludge/call-it-whatever-you-want is quite new thing to me and I like it!. Like this so much that I must grab their previous records too. Great example how many great bands there is and how limited our time is to find all these treasures, some you might find and some you’ll obviously gonna miss.

Die hard version was little too expensive (with shipping) to me so I snagged this Obi version instead. Whole package came in perfect condition (like […]

Even though I should be sleeping at this moment I still want to say some words about this split album from Doomstress/Sparrowmilk.

This version was limited to 100 copies with some kind of printed extra cover (nice way to add some extra price to album..). Anyways, once […]

Can’t even imagine better record playing on the background while sitting on the balcony and watching how the autumn sun slowly glides along the horizon. Nice one indeed.

I have reached the point that I do not even have to listen a single note from the albums some labels are putting out (labels like DHU, STB, Poisoned Mind, Totem Cat etc.), with these labels I can go blindly just because they have been releasing pure diamonds lately. Back to the Bog. This record has it all, stoner/psych/sludge/doom/space/metal etc. combined perfectly […]

Doomed instrumental psych/stoner/whatever and sounds damn good. Limited to 300 colored copies (like on the picture above) and still available from the source, HeviSike. […]

Here’s some Australian hard rock/occult/stoner/doom flavored with some Black Sabbath influences. This record is ment to be played LOUD. More I listen to this, more I like it. Funny thing nowadays is that all these bands playing vintage influenced hard rock/heavy metal are labeled right away as stoner/doom groups. Maybe that’s right but I can’t but Devil Electric on the same line for example with filthy, doomed Dopethrone. Anyways, this debut full-length from Devil Electric is a damn good rock […]

Few years ago I purchased Brume’s twelve-inch EP “Donkey” and fell in love within a minute I placed the needle on the surface of that vinyl. This full-length only amplify that feeling.
