The Doom Charts For June 2023

 

 

Doom Charts

“Heavy music will not be contained. Heavy music breaks free. Heavy music expands to new territories. It crashes through barriers. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But, err, there it is, heavy music finds a way…”

~ Ian Malcolm

Here we are with the brand-new June 2023 edition of the Doom Charts. Featuring no less than 40 fresh and minty albums. Quite a few self-released albums charted the Top 25 this edition, which always warms our heart. But to our regret and sorrow we must lament, quite a few albums that aren’t featured on Bandcamp are also high on the list. We don’t want to keep singing the praise of Bandcamp continuously, but it works like a charm and has become a definite cornerstone of the Heavy Underground. Right? So, we do wonder why those bands do not take advantage of said platform. It’s another and much-loved way to get the word out on your glorious new album. But hey, those albums which can be heard online, can be heard online here, just scroll down and press play on all those thirty-six amazing new albums. Cause they rose to the top of 272 albums that received votes this month. And those other four? Well, the cool Rob Hammer features one on his Youtube channel… Another one can be found on Headbanger Channel and for the others, well, the Heavy Underground will find a way… Cause heavy, errr, all good music always finds a way…

It's got a bite and it's got a bark! And no, it's not a dinosaur... It's the June 2023 Doom Charts!!

And featuring at least 13 albums I voted for... To wit: Saint Karloff, BLACK RAINBOWS, Snakemother, Lamassu, Queens of the Stone Age, Mammatus, ROYAL THUNDER, Yawning Man, mouth, The Dirty Seeds, RIVAL SONS, From The Ages & New Dawn Fades...

Gonna be listening to The Slow Voyage now and working my way all the way to Number One in the next few days...
