DOOM CHARTS
JUNE 2024
“What the Doom Charts know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean…”
~ Isaac Newton (probably misheard quote)
As we enter July we look back at the months passed and publish the Doom Charts, June 2024 edition. Voted for by many of the bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and reviewers braving the Heavy Underground. As you peruse the list you will notice that there are a lot of self-released albums on the list this month. Cause in this glorious age of independent music this is entirely possible and much easier than during the ages before. A plus for labels perhaps? Cause with one album out already gathering attention, a newly signed band will hit the ground running. It might also allude to the fact there is a lot of talent out there, constantly bopping to the surface for us to discover. No less than 207 albums received votes this month. And apparently the Contributors weren’t done yet with one from the month before, cause one album carried over from May. Which happens less and less, due to the sheer amount of great music released daily. One Contributor’s statement after submitting his list might also serve as proof for that fact: “Aaaaaaaaah, I forgot to put GREENLEAF on my list…”
Well, we already posted a post about the June Doom Charts on the Stoner HiVe Facebookpage yesterday. Cause the Doom Charts Facebook page has been temporarily blocked by FB for no apparent reason. No warning and no reason given at all. Hopefully it will be open again soon. But as you know, we like to keep things need and tidy, so we had to post on the little old blog as well! It’s hard coming back from the three weeks of holiday, but after another grueling week next week, I will surely be back again in full force. Did not vote for many, for the holiday took me away from my listening habits, but still managed to vote for a few on the list... Greenleaf, Fu Manchu, Sons of Arrakis, Horseburner, Void Commander, Stonekind, WyndRider, BIRDSTONE, Atomic Vulture and Young Acid... And if I had been around the past month, I could have, should have and probably would have voted for all the others as well! Check'm out!
And due to the heavy weekend filled with obligations in front of us... We might not be able to do the Stoner Hype, quick blurbs about the 40 to 26 for the June Doom Charts this time... But we will try to do that in that case, throughout the week...
