Tom G. Warrior was the main man behind the ugly monster of Hellhammer and then now-über-cult Celtic Frost. Since their way was always the painful and hard one, the band was finally laid to rest in 2008. It didn't take Tom much time to go hell and back and bring another horror being to life – Triptykon. Songs that were included on...

Every now and then a band comes along that takes you by the balls and that is what happen with me and these mutha's from Boston called Olde Growth. I managed to catch up with Stephen and Ryan, the two who make up this crushing two-piece Sludge/Stoner/Doom machine. I hope you read this interview carefully as this band will create a stir...

Sheavy formed in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada in 1993, and originally performed under the name Green Machine. They did some great recordings but it was the "Electric Sleep" album that was recorded in St. John's in the summer of 1997 that brought them to the attention of Stoner Metal-Heads and Doom Metal fans worldwide, that album has gone down in...

Doomshine from Germany are much loved by the metal underground but underrated by everybody else including the band themselves as this interview points out. A classic Traditional Heavy Metal band with its roots in classic Metal, Hard Rock and Doom Metal. The new album comes after a 6 year wait but the album titled "The Piper At The Gates Of Doom" has...

Since 1989 when Lee Dorrian became disenchanted with the Punk scene and the Death Metal direction, his former band Napalm Death was taking he took what was a rather eccentric step at the time of starting a Doom Metal band. The "In Memoriam" demo surfaced in 1990 followed by another demo known as the "Forest of Equilibrium sessions". When "Forest of Equilibrium"...

Primeval Realm was created by Joe Potash in June of 2009 with a overwhelming love for doom metal, he has recorded three demos and all of them are exceptionally high quality doom metal played with finesse and class.

Stonehelm are about to unleash on the world a monumental album of thick, fuzzy Doom grooves of a standard equal to anything that has ever been released before and that includes Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone". They are truly the Weed Metal's band of the moment and here I have a interview with guitarist/vocalist John from the band. Here we talk about Doom, artwork,...

Formed in late 1996 the only Northern-German Doom-Metal-Band Cold Embrace released their debut "Ode To Sorrow" in 1998/99,an ultra-slow and heavy piece of Doom/Death-Metal that received some great reviews. Since then the band has gone from strength to strength, this is a interview with Guitarist Michael from the band who has been recording since the early 90's. His talent has remained largely...

Toner Low in my opinion are the leading Stoner Doom outfit from Holland, their hypnotizing low-frequency riffing is hard to beat. Their albums are landmark recordings in heavy psychedelic soundscapes and the band has played live shows in Holland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom and they have played the Roadburn Festival. Here is a interview I...

Their Myspace reads "Heavy, doomy riffs in the tradition of doom, apocalypse, in universal space and time with undertones of the Cthulhu mythos and other dark themes, fact and fiction entwined", yes indeed !! Yidhra have been one of the highlights of 2009, a new band with a brand new demo/ep available through Black Eye Media and in 2010 things can only...

Sesta Marconi have serving up their brand of Traditional Doom Metal for nearly 10 years but only now have they just released their debut full length masterpiece "Where The Devil Dances". The album is a exceptional body of work that will please fans of BLACK SABBATH, CATHEDRAL, TROUBLE, SHEAVY, PENTAGRAM, THE OBSESSED and CANDLEMASS. The band are not intent however on being...

A recent discovery for me was finding "Eggnogg" a hard rock/sludge band from upstate New York. They are not your typical sludge/doom band as they have their own sound happening while still remaining real heavy within the stoner/sludge/doom genre. I wanted to find out more about the band so i asked for this interview and they agreed to do it. Read the...
