Doom Charts - 10 Years
“You are about to experience one of the strangest meetings ever convened — a joining of […] the most unusual people on Earth! Sit quietly in the shadows of this clandestine conference and observe it well! For from it shall soon be born … The DOOM PATROL.”
~ Arnold Drake
Today, exactly 10 years ago, the first official Doom Charts went live. Ever since that time, the list of Contributors have been growing, changing, revolving and all of them have done wonderful things to spread the good word about all those records that reside in the Heavy Underground. We thank all the Contributors old and new for everything they have done for the Doom Charts and the scene. And continue to do. They do a lot of the work for the charts, but they all do so much more and we always hope you check out all of those individual sites. A huge thank you to Lucas, the man that started this thing. It was his crazy idea to do this on a monthly basis. And after some time discussing everything with a few cats, March 1st, 2015, turned out to the date it all went live…
We also want to thank all the PR companies and record companies for continuously finding out about the Doom Charts and sending those advance promos for the team to listen to. And even more for releasing and helping spread those amazing album. A big thank you to the bands as well. Cause they make that music we all cherish and want the rest of the world to hear. Thank you for doing what you do and making all of us a part of it. And a huge thank you to you, the followers, the readers, the heavy music fiends. Thank you for following, commenting and checking out what we do. We’re in this together and we have the best scene there is. Many articles have been written, podcasts made and video testaments put out into the world, about how embracing this scene is and how cool you all are and I can only agree with those.
You can follow the link to check out the full list of 25 records that went live on March 1st, 2015! But looking back to all of them, I can only say: the gang had their ear to the ground from day one! Amazing albums! All of them! And that Top 3. The (sadly) only, yet stunning album by Brothers of the Sonic Cloth. That wild Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere by Acid King. And the Number 1 album of that month (and the month after) Lore by Elder. Can’t argue with any of those!
It’s been a great adventure and amazing ride so far… Thank you everyone and all! Here’s hoping we can do this some more!
