The Doom Charts For November 2025

 

DOOM CHARTS

NOVEMBER 2025

“One good thing about music on the Doom Charts, when it hits you, you feel no pain…”
~ Bob Marley

The saying “one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain” means music can have a powerfully distracting and healing effect, allowing a person to momentarily escape their physical or emotional pain. It highlights music’s ability to provide comfort, uplift the mood, and create a sense of peace. And it can do so much more for so many of us. And with the amount of great music constantly growing larger, it could possibly become the universal healer. And when it becomes too much, there is always that off switch. If only for a few minutes, hours or even a week. And then you come back to your favorite albums all fresh and in a desperate need to hear them once again… Below, there are 40 listed that might just become one of those albums! The Number One from October carried over and the Contributors voted for a total of 224 different albums this month, 24 different albums received a Number One vote from at least one Contributor and on Number 41 we find THE HYENA KILL with their Collapse album… And all of them have the ability to offer you escape… 

 

It's Bandcamp Friday! And the November Doom Charts just went live! There goes your paycheck... And December is already such an expensive month... But how can you say no to more great music? Ho ho ho!

An amazing list of heavy underground albums once again and will start my listening run down with Number 40: Vast Pyre...

Could have voted for all of them I'm sure... But of the ones that made it, I only voted for: Vast Pyre, Liquid Silk, Silver Orbs, Moonstone, YOU GUITARPRAYER, Papir, Dune Aurora, Doomherre, BLACK MAGIC TREE, Yawning Man (Official), Pale Horse Ritual, Maha Sohona & Winds Of Neptune .. .

HOWLING GIANT – CRUCIBLE & RUIN

SILVER ORBS – SILVER ORBS

YAWNING MAN – PAVEMENT ENDS
