The Doom Charts for August 2025

 

DOOM CHARTS

AUGUST 2025

“You see, eventually the Doom Charts will help put an end to war and poverty. It will align the planets and bring them into universal harmony, allowing meaningful contact with all forms of life, from extraterrestrial beings to common household pets…”

~ probably misheard quote by Rufus in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

The Conjunction of the Spheres has this time caused for wonderful things to happen. For you see, the stars have aligned to bring all of you out there the August 2025 Doom Charts! Together with another Bandcamp Friday. So, there goes your paycheck! Cause of the 214 albums that received votes this month, the Top Forty is published and twenty-fife of them receive a blurb. Blurbs, a few lines of words to spur you into action. To entice you to listen to the album and by all means, to buy it if you like it… Some day some how… Bandcamp now perhaps?
