Phantom Druid
Psychlona
OogWei
Grave Disgrace
Purple Lung
Riastrad
Big Oaf

Morning! Hope you had a great week? We did! For it was the week in which we saw Kardeathian for the first time live. A sound that maneuvered between moments of Acid King and Los Natas, but overal felt like a slow trek through the swamp. Muddy, morose and monotonous. The final song had them opening up more, the sound coming into its own, groove and flow rising to the top. Hope to see them live again and am extremely interested in what they will sound like on record. Which will be released later this year. And we saw an incredibly tight Psychlona on the first night of their European tour. Holy hell, the outfit has become a machine! And the vocals sat perfect in the mix, taking the audience on every adventure Psychlona had planned for the night. Go see them if you can! 

 It was also a Doom Charts week last week, which means we started listening to the entire list of forty albums again after it was published. Getting all the way to Grave Disgrace yesterday and continuing on with Fátima today. So many great release! And there were way more, cause the Contributors voted for 200 different ones. Wow. We managed to have a few posts up last week and we got a few almost done for this week. But before new ones go live, let’s look back at Ronny Dijksterhuis’s write up for Druid Stone! The Doom Charts post. Words on the new Urlaub in Polen, Prophets of Thwaites and Purple Lung. And to that single premiere we did for Morrison Graves. And we might just do another premiere this week as well… Better check regularly! Ho ho ho. But seriously, thank you all for the continued support. We are honored and humbled that you crazies out there check in from time to time and spend that valuable time reading our silly words. Much love! And please help spread that everything Heavy Underground related. It’s why we do this thing… 

Druid Stone - The Living Dead

 

 

Druid Stone - The Living Dead 
Self-released - 2026 
Doom, Psychedelic, Rock, Pop 
Rated: ****½ 

Usually I'm not fond of solo projects where one person plays all instruments, as more often than not you hear a major or minor gap between the mastering of each instrument that results in a lack of coherency. Also having to do everything yourself might stand in the way of being able to channel the right amount of energy needed to make an impact. Not in the case of Druid Stone that is. Demeter Capsalis does it all to a high degree. Her seventh album 'The Living Dead' (my first encounter with Druid Stone) bleeds tons of energy and sounds as raw and direct as any album that's been recorded live in a studio with a full band. But here it's one person with a guest (Ilana Ruth Singer) who is responsible for well-placed angelic vocals on three songs. 

Opener 'Death for You, Undeath to Me' is a pinnacle of modern day traditional doom with a lowdown main groove that serves as a fluid center point where everything else swerves around in a game of push and pull wherein the clean vocals and creative, disorienting lead guitar demand full attention. It's a mere setup for what's to come. And that's a lot, because there are no boundaries, no suffocating limits, no forcing oneself to stay within the confinements of what a doom metal record should sound like. Therefore it's possible you encounter a slow, laidback psychedelic pop tune like 'Vampyros Lesbos '26' one moment and be thrown into a lengthy psychedelic doom trip with an occult edge, as proven by the stunning 'We Gave the Ram Head', while providing room for contemplation by presenting a three and a half minute acoustic interlude titled 'The Strange Voice of Mrs. Wardh'. But whichever path is chosen, there's always an intensity that's hard to put into words, as even in the softer songs there are different angles being used and little things to discover. It makes 'The Living Dead' one hell of a spellbinding album and one of the biggest surprises so far this year.

"PS: for your information and to explain the band pic… live Druid Stone is a full powerhouse doom trio."

The Doom Charts For February 2026

 

DOOM CHARTS

FEBRUARY 2026

“Traveler now reach the stream, the audial flight adapter
From the pain-sheath sound ascends – the Non-returner hears
Empathy release me – and the Doom Chart rise triumphant…”
~ probably misheard lyrics by Om

The shortest month usually feels the longest when you’re waiting for the frost to break under the sun’s warmth, but the Heavy Underground has a way of warming your bones. As we venture further into this desolate year, the sheer volume of music being poured into our ears remains staggering. This month our contributors listened to, agonized over and eventually submitted a total of 200 different albums. And that’s only the ones they mentioned in their quantitatively restricted submissions, they probably listened to hundreds of albums!

From the smoke-filled basements of stoner rock, to the open fields of ambient, to the echoing cathedral naves of post-rock and cavernous lairs of doom, the variety continues to prove that “heavy” is a wide spectrum, not a single point. There continues to be an astounding amount of debut records submitted — bands emerging from the ether with fully-formed identities and riffs that sound like they’ve been aging in oak barrels for decades. Well, some of them do have the distinct edge of raw spirit rotgut. Of course, we still have to navigate the foggy musical swamp we’re wading through. We aren’t interested in the perfect performance or immaculate production, let alone committee engineered pop hooks; we want grit! And the small mistakes, the driving  passion and the raw power that only comes from real people totally smashing on their real instruments.

So, here it is: the top of the Doom Charts February 2026. A one-stop shop for the best new heavy releases out there, at least the best we could find! Dig in, support the bands, and let the music do the talking and screaming.

~ Jukka ‘Shrike’ Kolehmainen (Psychotropic Caravan, Abhorrence, Shrike’s Playlists)

 

Nicely worded by Jukka and we still can't wrap our heads around the sheer amount of albums released on a daily basis. But luckily we have the Doom Charts and all those other blogs, zines and podcasts to shed a light on many of them. And it's great when it happens on a Friday... For... 

It's Bandcamp Friday and the First Friday of the new month... Perfect time to scour through the brand new Doom Charts edition!= Out now and featuring forty amazing albums for you to peruse!

And of those forty on the list I personally voted for:

BROND, India Tigers in Texas, Phantom Druid, Blunt Knife Castration, Riastrad, Loud, Purple Lung, Earth Tongue, Surf Through Death, Mount Palatine, Eleanore, Sons of Gulliver, Fátima, Mientras las abejas duermen, Stargo, L'IRA DEL BACCANO, Electric Hydra, Oath of Doom, OREYEON, BelzebonG, Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows and Weedpecker...

Gonna start listening to all forty in a row again... We started with BROND's Snooze! And made our way through Lamp Of The Universe, Hela and have now arrived at Zahn and their Purper album...

Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and reviewers from the heavy underground around the globe.  Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom, sludge, metal, stoner, psychedelic and heavy rock albums.  The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below.  This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world…

 The Doom Charts for February 2026

Urlaub in Polen – Objects, Beings & Parrots

 

 

Urlaub in Polen – Objects, Beings & Parrots
Tapete Records – 2026
Rock, Kraut, Noise, Jazz, Psych, Post
Rated:****

Our very own Doktor420 is relentless in his search for the best kraut rock albums released every month. And usually, his favorites are immediate favorites over here as well. Take Urlaub In Polen, we still count the duo as stemming from the Heavy Underground, but can we even say that after they’ve been releasing amazing music for more than twenty-five years? Not counting the break they took. I believe Objects, Beings & Parrots is their seventh official full release and still brings their very own take on the Can and Neu sound in full force. Still incorporating more noise and pop influences and burrowing deep into the heavier guitar work and hammering rhythms. Almost mechanical at times, that driving force, that forward motion, insistent and feverish. Although some of the tracks do widen out, broaden the scope and seem to implore post rock vistas… 

But when that hypnotic krautrock and motorik pulse takes over, you cannot help but move with them through the retro-futuristic soundscape they build. Tracks like opener “Abacus” and the following “Washing Machine” spin with mechanical momentum, evoking angular energy and propulsive grooves. Yet the duo balance this drive with moments of unexpected warmth, acoustic textures, melodic detours, and even brass flourishes, creating a dynamic, hypnotic album that constantly shifts between propulsion and atmosphere. And that ability stretches out, makes you constantly long to experience it all live, where the synths can howl through the sweaty venue, noise crashes in waves, bodies move whether they want to or not. And then, when your body starts to ache, the machine threatens to blow apart, they break down exactly long enough, euphoria in the form of a stray brass blast, a moment of strange calm… Then the engine roars back again. And you move…

Prophets of Thwaites - Vulnerant Omnes Ultima Necat

 

Prophets of Thwaites - Vulnerant Omnes Ultima Necat
Self released – 2026
Metal, Doom
Rated: ***

The three musicians behind this project seem haunted by the passing of time itself, by doomsday, the end of all things, and the slow procession of hours that wear us down until the final one arrives. For they’ve named themselves Prophets of Thwaites, after the Antarctica glacier, known as the fastest melting glacier on earth. And they’ve given the new two track single the ominous title: Vulnerant Omnes, Ultima Necat. Which is the ultimate reminder that time is forever running out and your final hour is closing in…

Founded in the year of our lord 2024, the trio recorded the new two track release in January of 2026 and will release Vulnerant Omnes, Ultima Necat with haste, so it seems, on March 17th. A highly atmospheric doom metal affair that implores influences from the more psychedelic and progressive sides of the heavy underground. Drifting on top, are the ghostly vocals of Esma Larabi, which sound absolutely wonderful, have a slight gothic touch, but could perhaps be a bit louder in the mix. 

But as the two tracks unfold you glide with the band through all of the shadow and light one can handle. There are towering walls of psychedelic fuzz, as the bass throbs and chops away at the foundation. And always at the center, Esma Larabi’s haunting vocals guiding the listener through moments of calm and turmoil, while the rhythm section shifts from restrained pulse to crushing force. Powered by drummer Nico Beemster, also responsible for the drums in Accabadora, the movement is forever relentless and relentlessly forever. For each movement feels like a passing hour, some gentle, some devastating, echoing the idea that time wounds all things, until the final moment arrives: Vulnerant Omnes, Ultima Necat.

(Written by JK)

Listen to 2025 single I Am The Winds now, and come back for Vulnerant Omnes, Ultima Necat on March 17th!

Purple Lung – Mystic Vision

 

 

Purple Lung – Mystic Vision
Self released – 2026
Metal, Doom, Stoner, Fantasy
Rated: ****

Steel gets sharpened. And then, from the first strike of Blademaster to the fading echoes of Dreamwalker’s Lament, the Mystic Vision album unfolds like a proscribed chronicle etched in smoke and fire. Delivered by Pennsylvanian foursome Purple Lung, they charge forward with blade sharp riffs and pounding doom rhythms, turning your world into mythical fable, before bending time itself in Annihilation of Time, before descending into shadowed rituals of Digging Up Snakes. The album prowls through swamp born Witcher curses in Beware The Bog Witch and ominous paranoia beneath The Watchful Eye, weaving occult storytelling into waves of psychedelic metal. 

At it’s core, Mystic Vision balances their metal, with crushing stoner grooves, gothic atmosphere, doom tones and flashes of thrash fueled urgency. And above it float the gritty, soulful voice of Toni Pennello who guides the listener like a battle-worn prophet. Always evoking a feeling of danger and you will never feel safe in her custody. The hypnotic pulse of Hum Of The Ancients and the engulfing weight of Swallowed By The Sea deepen the descent, culmination in the onslaught, and monstrous hunger of Desethos, The Starved. And after the 2022 Demo, that featured two of the songs in infant form, and a few two-tracks, this debut feels like they’ve arrived at the edge of the labyrinth. And now, with Mystic Vision, they call out to everyone who dares, to join them on a dark and epic journey… Sharpen your blades!

Single Premiere - Morrison Graves - Alice

 

Single Premiere 

Morrison Graves - Alice

 

It felt like all the mojo would be rising once again. And like the psychedelic blues had a found a new trio to possess, haunt and bring to the end of their tether. It was 2023 and the debut album was called Division Rising. And now, three years later, Morrison Graves is back! As a four piece and with a new EP called Under The Weight of Gravity. And from it, we are now honored to premiere the second single Alice. 

On Alice, the second single, Morrison Graves conjure a cinematic, reverb-drenched sound that feels like a dust-choked town waiting for a signal that may never come. Their songs shimmer with wet, surf-toned guitars, streaks of fuzz, and a restless psych undercurrent that hums like a radio searching for clarity. Basslines gallop in with urgency, drums push forward like approaching hoofbeats, and the vocals rise above it all, melodic, dramatic, and sharply phrased. There’s tension in the air, as if something vital has just slipped away. Yet the hooks remain immediate and memorable, balancing atmosphere and grit in a sound both haunting and defiantly alive... 

Press play and get lost with Alice... 

PR Wire: 

Portland-based rockers, Morrison Graves, navigate the realms of pre-doom and post-psychedelia. Their fuzzy, swirling brand of rock pulls influence from 60's psych/garage, Eastern modes, and indie rock. Morrison Graves’ debut album, Division Rising, released during the pandemic, valiantly tackled themes of gentrification, homelessness, and socio-economic disparity. This album was a collective howl in dark times, garnering an audience and establishing a precedent for the band.  

After the World re-opened, Morrison Graves transitioned from a recording project to a live band. Yet, emerging into this new post-pandemic reality, it is evident that normalcy has been shattered and the fragile constructs that society was precariously balanced upon are now nakedly exposed.  

In this fraught atmosphere, Morrison Graves has embarked upon recording a new EP, “Under The Weight of Gravity.” Their new songs address themes of tribalism, resource consumption, the global war machine, civil war, death, loss, and hope. There is urgency to address this existential state of dread and to sound the alarm. Firmly grounded in their ethos and distinct point of view, Morrison Graves’ response is to create rather than scream into the void. “Under The Weight of Gravity” will be Morrison Graves’ first post-pandemic release.

Top 10 Most Listened Artists Last Week…

Psychlona
Riastrad
Blunt Knife Castration
Sons of Gulliver
Gnarwhal
Oreyeon
Slomosa
Avon
Urlaub in Polen
American Sharks

Another week in the books and another in front of us. One where most of you few that will be reading these words can be thankful that you live where you live. For now. When will all the fighting stop? Everywhere. Why can’t there be a new wave of freedom, acceptance and love wash over the world? And never roll back… 

Did you escape in some way the past week? Did we help out a little? We hope so, cause we were honored to premiere a video for Bronco Forte and the amazing full album premiere for Sons Of Gulliver. We wrote a few words about the new Oreyeon album and mentioned a show this Saturday by Komatsu, Nevels and Patserbak in Eindhoven. And let’s not forget, this Wednesday starts the European tour for Psychlona! Who will be there in Merleyn, Nijmegen? We also jotted down a few words about Riastrad and on Friday, our resident poet Ronny Dijksterhuis did another wonderful and wild Quick Fire Friday round. Enough escapism if you need it! Let’s hope we can provide some this week as well… Stay strong, spread the word about the Heavy Underground. Spread the love! 

Riastrad – Riastrad

 

 

Riastrad – Riastrad
Self-released – 2026
Rock, Doom, Stoner, Metal, Grunge
Rated: ***

Of course… Riastrad has already been on the Rich And Turbo Show… Cause Rich never sleeps and ropes everyone into joining him on Rich And Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour. Which usually lasts well over a half hour, but that’s okay, cause time flies by as you listen and watch them talk music. Cause we all love to talk about music. This time though, the Riastrad interview only passes the time mark with some five minutes. Go watch it HERE… 

But luckily lasting forty-five minutes is the debut self-titled album Riastrad. Straight out of Portland, comes this four-piece that opt to go for the classic toned metal. Doom to the touch and with a definite motoring vibe. Ten furious metal tracks, topped by searing vocals delivered by Paige Parker. Vocals that can turn more honey toned and lure you deeper into the Riastrad sound on the drop of a dime. 

Traditional in tone and classic in its approach to doom metal, it is by no means just doom. The fat riffs are there, and so are the operatic vocals and the gothic grandeur. But not everything is slowed to a crawl, often in fact it speeds up and mirrors a more thrashy approach or the heavy metal of yore. But in atmosphere, the monumental melodies, approaching that medieval quality and seismic feel all at once, has Riastrad delivering nothing but class. 

Class, but the kind that owns plaid shirts and loves their grunge, for as the album continues, definite influences of the nineties and stonerrock do pop up. It’s what gives the album that touch or originality needed to make this a special debut. Why yes! This is the kind of ruckus every metal head will adore. Older heads because it will remind them of their youth. And the youth because it will wild them out or shoot them down a rabbit hole discovering how deep it all really goes…

Anker Studio presents: Komatsu + Patserbak + Nevels

Saturday, March 7th! 

There’s this wild little studio in my hometown Eindhoven called Anker Studio. They organize this yearly festival which is all about the Heavy Underground. But every so often, they decide to host another party! Another wild weekend full of hometown heavy rock! Saw Nevels only a few weeks ago as they opened for Der Mancha Red and was pleasantly surprised by their highly atmospheric heaviness. And we all know and love Komatsu, these mothersludgers have relentlessly delivered amazing album after amazing album, culminating in last years A Breakfast For Champions. And Patserbak is another few years old Eindhoven band featuring former members from Komatsu, Kaligoh, Gifkip and GodsChosenDealer. Sludge, punk, doom, stoner. It has everything! And so does Anker Studio, three amazing bands served on one hot night!

Stoner Hive’s Quick Fire Friday

 

Stoner Hive’s Quick Fire Friday

On this final Friday of February, we get a first Quick Fire Friday of the month, all done in famous Ronny Dijksterhuis style! Which means, this will get hot and heavy from here on in! You ready? 

Thank God it's Friday! Well, not every Friday, but it gets damn near close with the Doom Charts hitting the streets on the first one of every month, the Peroration List on the third and almost every moon cycle also a Quick Fire Friday. Not really sure if I already said it's Friday and we should thank God for that, but hey, it is, so you might as well enjoy these gems and jams we selected for you. Crank up the volume and make your neighbours wish it was Monday again.

 

Corrosion of Conformity - Gimme Some Moore

Let's start today with a big song by a legendary band. 'Gimme Some Moore' is a heavy, groove-driven beast that feels like a smack in the face with titanium fist and tons of explosives. If this is any indication of the quality on offer, than Corrosion of Conformity's new album 'Good God, Baad Man' (to be released on April 3rd through Nuclear Blast Records) is shaping up the be by far their best since 'Wiseblood'.

Strawberry Bus Tour From Hell - Rööki-Rainerin paluu

Spotlighting Finnish underground music through the Outola radio show, these blokes also make music under the moniker Strawberry Bus Tour From Hell, whose music regularly serves as the outro for the radio show. Starting out as a pure laidback bossanova noise act, their latest single mixes spacerock, americana, stoner rock and smooth jazz, made complete with stories about the nineties Turku rock scene. In doing so, they come peeking around the corner of the heavy underground and it's our pleasure to let you know.

Багно – Гідра

Багно is an instrumental doom band from Lviv, Ukraine that straightens the bedsheets in their silver-plated ghost traveling machine especially for you to enjoy an atmospheric brand of heavy doom with added synths to give the overall sound a spooky edge. Like they're wading through the swamp on a hoverboard. Over ten minutes of menacing lightness - or enlightening darkness. The choice is up to you.

Midnightsun / Maoong - Hymns From: The Edge of Dusk

Travelling a bit farther east, we encounter two bands that are diving deeper into the gutters filled with dirt and gloom. 'Hymns From: The Edge of Dusk' is an appropriate title for a split of these Indonesian bands that have musical aggression tattooed on their foreheads and who both lend a tandem of songs to this release. Midnightsun brings doom with a sludge infused core that comes at you like a diesel train, chugging along at a sluggish pace, but relentless and deadly when it comes to close. Maoong on the other hand is more like a turbo-charged bulldozer that manages to go from naught to sixty in a matter of seconds. Fast stoner sludge and mid- to high-paced doom that is so goddamn raucous they'll run you over before you've got the chance to cry for help. Great work by Robuma Records combining these two totally different, yet strangely complementing bands.

Low Country Jam Machine - Outta Sight

If you've got to consume well-aged rock music straight because, well, the ice is safely tucked away in a freezer, lock closed, key tossed away, then it won't be a problem being force-fed Low Country Jam Machine's second ep 'Outta Sight'. Four good songs with a strong seventies vibe. For fans of Greta Van Fleet, Rival Sons and Black Spiders.

Bad Mothers Union - Cut In Half

March 19th sees the release of Bad Mothers Union's new Album 'Sore Losers'. January delivered the first preview through the twisted and slightly alienating heavy psych song 'God's Intercom'. This month these Irishmen treat us to another tune of the album, a mystical, dragging, dark, drawn-out yet exiting experimental psychedelic trip called 'Cut in Half'. God knows how the other tracks will sound, but I for one am more than eager to find out because both previews are killer.

The Valley - Alcohol Failed

Ruff Majik - For the Life of Me

And we're gonna go out with a bang, because that's what we're supposed to do, right? What band better to handle those closing duties than South African melodic heavy rockers Ruff Majik with their blistering new single 'For the Life of Me', released today. It's one big ball of blistering swing, controlled aggression and melodic goodness. If that isn't enough in itself, South African blues musician Dan Patlansky jumps in to not only give the guys a bit of help, but to blend in seamlessly on this song that'll be spinning in you head for days after just one spin.
