Through The Archdemon's Head

Anguish are a Death/Doom band from Sweden and have put together one hell of a debut album on Dark Descent Records. This riff heavy album slays and preys on the weak, bro. Just kidding, don't even know what that is supposed to mean. Look, the government fucked up my blog. I had my entire Mediafire account deleted. So no links work on here anymore. I will be using Uploadingit links from now on, just as good as Mediafire. So enjoy the very rare and occasional posts I will make from now on. Dark Descent definitely know what they're doing when they sign a band, so you best believe this album rules! CRUSHING DOOM!

The Hunter

Mastodon, Progressive Metal Heavyweights from Atlanta, Georgia. Hate 'em or love 'em, these guys are talented musicians. This is their new one and they seem to have gone back to making basic albums as opposed to their previous release, Crack The Skye that was a 7-Song Conceptual Album. Mastodon continue to progress on this one and I have say I quite enjoy it.

The Third Aeon

Normally the Traditional Doom genre isn't focused on much here at Poonangublog. However, this band takes the cake and we're fat so that rarely happens. Bad joke aside, this album is just fucking awesome. I know it's not Death or Black Metal but this thing is just amazing. I'd love this back before I even started listening to the extreme genre's of metal, like back in the day when all I ever jamed to was Black Sabbath and Metallica. Black Oath are awe inspiring Doom from Italy that'll make you headbang, spark a doob and rock out maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!

Weatherhead

Helms Alee is a 3 piece band from Seattle, Washington. One guy with a beard (Ben Verellen of These Arms Are Snakes), and two chicks. They all share vocal duties and scream and stuff. Sometimes they all sing together in harmony and it sounds beautiful. The music reminds me of Torche and other similar heavy/stoner/orange amp using/metal that seems to be ever so popular these days. Enjoy this unique band who know how to actually write songs.

Nucleus

Dawnbringer, once Death Metal, now Heavy Metal band from Pennsylvania have tightened their belts for their newest release. Featuring Chris Black of Nachtmystium fame, Dawnbringer have tweaked their original sound for something new that can only be described as Heavy Metal with elements of Doom, Stoner, NWOBHM, and even Black Metal. The riff's and guitar work on this album are purely amazing and definitely outshine previous efforts from this band. "Nucleus" will definitely go down as the bands best release so far, so check it out!

Eparistera Daimones

The year is almost over and 2011 is well upon us... you know that means! Best of 2010! Everyone has their stupid fucking lists. According to the Metal Encyclopedia, the new Triptykon album, "Eparistera Daimones" is the #1 album of the year based on all of the site's reviews of the record. Some super metal fan compiled a list and it's very neat to see what made it and you might find new stuff you didn't know about... like this record for instance. Triptykon features members of Celtic Frost, Dark Fortress and Hellhammer. Triptykon are from Switzerland and play a Doomed Out Blackened Death Metal that will make the walls crumble. It's fucking heavy, dark, and evil. Definitely for any fan of metal. Enjoy!

Fight Amp, once known as Fight Amputation are from New Jersey and play a mixture of Atmospheric Doom Sludge with Post-Hardcore elements. They're on Translation Lost Records and remind me an early Kylesa... if you're a fan of that type of music, then you'll love this band. They have done splits with Black Tusk and Kowloon Walled City.

Edifice

Al-Thawra hail from Chicago, IL and play a twist of Crust Punk with plenty of Hardcore, Doom, Sludge and Middle Eastern  influences. The only thing I can say about this band is that they are definitely a breath of fresh air in this genre that is mainly thought of as untalented, or lo-fi by most. This band has taken elements of all the above-mentioned genres and created something truly unique. Crushing drums create a heaviness that compliments the guitars and angered barking vocals. There's a huge Middle Eastern vibe being used at various parts of the albums and you will definitely get a vibe and almost groove from it to then only have your brains bashed in by crushing Sludge and Doom riff. Fuck! I think I've rode this album's dick hard enough, enjoy!

Thrall

Hobart, Tasmania located in Australia (for you dummies that don't know) is the one of the last places I'd think of when it comes to Black Metal. However, Thrall are in fact just that. Thrall play a mix of Old School Black Metal, Doom, Thrash, and Punk. There is definitely a lot more to them than just those descriptions. Thrall are definitely doing their own thing to create a very transitional style of music on an album that's over an hour long. So if you're into this new era of Black Metal that is surging as of late, you'll definitely enjoy this Tasmanian band. Enjoy!

Black Sleep of Kali

Black Sleep of Kali hail from Denver, Colorado. They play Stoner Doom Sludge Metal in the vein of such acts like Torche, High On Fire, Baroness, and Mastodon. I know that every "heavy" band that comes out today gets those sort of comparisons. However, Black Sleep of Kali bring a breath of fresh air to the genre. "Our Slow Decay" brings the catchy style of Torche with the riffs of High On Fire. Some songs even remind me of the Foo Fighters on steroids (torche has received the same comparison, i know) That's probably the best way to describe it without getting too generic. Basically, if you like any of the bands mentioned above, you'll most likely enjoy this record. Also, if you're tired of this genre, this will be your one exception. It's definitely worth a listen and trust me fruit loop, you won't be disappointed. Then when you're done, stop by their myspace and purchase their record (using the above links). Enjoy!

Witchcraft

Witchcraft have probably been one of my favorite doom acts for the past 3 or so years. Doom in the vein of Sabbath from Finland. This guy sings great even when he's singing in English.
