From the Land of Song emerges yet another impressive Doomed & Stoned compilation, curated by the Reek of Stoom in his far-reaching efforts to hear all that is heavy. Doomed & Stoned in Wales presents a diverse range of music as rich as the land's storied history, traveling from hard-hitting stoner and psych to full throttle punk and sludge, only to be slowly crushed in the end by low and slow doom. Ironbird takes a proggy spin on stoner and Lacertilia brings a bassy desert groove, before the unpredictable psych of one-man band Caravan Obscura and oddballs Moon Goose turn everything on its head. Two acts especially enjoyable and unexpected are another one-man outfit, Fuzzasaurus, whose Breeders-like bass is catchy beyond reason, and Dead Shed Jokers with their Western bluesy stylings. Wales brings the wild, however, with Tides of Sulfur's punishing high-speed sludge assault, and shows off its doom credentials with the bottomless low end of Kitten Spider and LUNG's nodding Sleep worship. Billy Goat's Doomed & Stoned has gifted us yet another goodie bag of heavy to dive into, showing Wales to be a well of underground music bursting with talent and style.
