Serpentcult – Raised by Wolves
After various line- up changes, Belgium’s Serpentcult are back as a trio with a fascinatingly idiosyncratic album. It’s not easy to describe the music of Raised by Wolves. It’s only four songs stretched to 40 minutes and the sound is stripped- down, funereal and moody. I guess you could call them doom, but these songs ...

Sigh – In Somniphobia
Metal is the best music in the world, and believe me I haven’t reached the age of 34 to finally understand, that this genre is the only one capable and open minded to be blended with and embrace without any kind of skepticism all other musical genres. But in times I tend to forget it ...

Lo- Pan – Salvador
The awesomely named Lo- Pan have been around for a while, releasing two albums, before signing with Small Stone Records. It’s an appropriate move, as they fit right in with the company’s roster of no- nonsense hard rock acts. And while their previous albums were very good, if there’s any justice in this fucked up ...

Orchid – Capricorn
For an album that sounds like it was recorded under the influence of magic mushrooms, midnight screenings of Blood On Satan’s Claw and spins of Sabbath’s Vol. 4, Capricorn sounds surprisingly beautiful. Not something one often gets to say about doom. Not that it lacks titanic riffs or an almost tribal rythm section, but it ...

Corrosion of Conformity – Corrosion of Conformity
COC are a strange proposition these days. During the 80s, they were the ultimate punk metal crossover band, with a string of era- defining hardcore albums. By 1991′s Blind and the addition of singer and guitarist Pepper Keenan, they gradually turned towards a bluesier, Southern metal sound. The albums that followed were extremely influential...

Lord Vicar – Signs of Osiris
Lord Vicar’s debut, Fear No Pain was an excellent traditional doom record. The follow- up however is in another league altogether. I could babble on and on about the band’s heritage (when your members used to be in Reverend Bizarre and Count Raven the stakes are very high), or about the delicious riffs and psychedelic ...
