The Doom Charts For August 2023

 

 

Doom Charts

“Good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!”

~ Truman Burbank

Once every full moon the First Friday of the new month will be on the very first day of the month. Welcome to the August edition of the Doom Charts! Brought to you by a throng of heavy music fiends who diligently send in their lists every month after listening to as much of the great albums floating around the Heavy Underground as they possibly can. This time around 245 albums received votes and you can see and listen for yourself which albums made the August Edition. You will also notice, that for the first time in many editions, no less than Four albums carried over from the July edition. This happens mostly when the Contributors simply can’t get enough of those releases or if they perhaps voted a bit too soon for a certain release. Of course, with promos arriving early or very early and the ever more fluent release dates, the official dates do become a bit hazy… But personally, I’d like to think that whenever this happens, the album is that good and deserves to be heard by as many of you lovely folks out there as possible… So, here you go, the August 2023 Doom Charts, be vigilant, keep watching and keep listening! Cause there’s so much good and heavy stuff out there, we often think we only actually scratch the surface…

The August Doom Charts are out and it's a magnificent list once again! Forty incredibly tasty albums straight out of the Heavy Underground...

Of the ones that made the list, personal votes went out to: Acid Magus, Moon Coven, REZN, Vinnum Sabbathi, Sonic Moon, White Canyon & The 5th Dimension, The W Likes, Rito Verdugo, Fatmas , AAWKS , Aiwass, Lucifungus, Astral Wizard - Band , To Yo, Gurthworm, Arteaga and Eyes Of The Oak... But as usual, we could have voted for all the others as well! Awesome month once again! Go check'm out! Check'm all out! And we will be running through ALL of them in order once again; and trying to write a few words about 40 to 26... 

Already mentioned (read what we wrote by clicking the bandname) on the HiVe are: Acid Magus, REZN & Vinnum Sabbathi, AAWKS & Aiwass !
