Doom Charts
“We’re musicians. We make music for a living. It’s that simple. Nothing else matters.”~ Eddie Van Halen
Damn right, Eddie. May he be rocking Walhalla, Nirvana or wherever he may be with all the other musical warriors. Many heroes have gone. But heavy rock endures. Is it possible for new heroes like Eddie to rise up? Or is the celestial dome of rock so fractured that it will never be possible for a new great musician to rise to the same level as those greats that have come before? Cause judging from the list below, featuring 23 new albums among the top 25, there is so much great music released monthly… And yes, we say this so many times, every month again, but it is awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping, mind-blowing and absolutely amazing to hear all that good and heavy stuff. But will those insanely good albums reach even bigger audiences than this ‘heavy underground’ we all love to crawl around in? Do we want them to? Will the really good ones always eventually grow bigger? Questions, that don’t really matter all that much, cause the honorable Mr. van Halen already said it all: “We make music. It’s that simple. Nothing else matters.” Right on! Doom on!
The first of every month, the Doom Charts go live... Of the 25 blurbed albums, there are 23 new ones... Yikes! Personal votes went out to: Low Orbit, Snake Mountain Revival, Bentrees, Messerschmitt, King Buffalo, Stone From The Sky, Mastodon, Ancient Days, Temple Fang & Phantom Druid...
