The Doom Charts Peroration
April 2026
“Take me down to the Festival City
~ misheard… Guns ‘n Roses
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
(Take me home) oh, won’t you, please, take me home?
Take me down to the Doom Charts City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
(Take me home) oh, won’t you, please, take me home?”
With festival season upon us once again, the time has come to witness so many of the bands we love come alive on stage! Of course, throughout the year there are concerts, shows in crowded bars, smoky backrooms, dubious drinking holes and dilapidated buildings. But festivals possess a magic all their own, especially the ones that stretch across two or three unforgettable days. For a brief moment, you wander through a better version of the world… A place where strangers smile at one another, where people dance without hesitation, and where freedom seems to hum in the air itself. Music becomes the common language, the heartbeat behind every shared moment and every surge of all that wonderful energy. Next up for me personally, Sonic Whip Festival. Today actually. Where will you go to chase that feeling, to stand before your favorite bands and lose yourself in the sound? Below, are 25 favorite bands chosen by our contributors, the ones they hope to experience live themselves… So, tap into the energy, and feel it for yourself…
The other monthly Doom Charts post went live last Friday! Peroration time! And this time around, no less than 7 of those blurbs were written by one of the crazies that occasionally writes for the HiVe... So, go read up on: Truckfighters, Stump Grinder, Purple Skies, Lungburner, Gnod, Black Lung and Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell... Although some of those were already posted on the HiVe as well! Either way, there are 25 albums to check out! If you haven't already...
The following
are words of adoration from Doom Charts Contributors, devotions to
albums they could not stop spinning. Each month, our writers gather to
celebrate the finest in doom, sludge, metal, stoner, progressive,
psychedelic, and other heavy realms. Their selections are woven into the
Doom Charts, published on the first Friday of every month. But some
affections run too deep for the regular edition. Some albums fall just
outside the chart, or inspire so many write-ups, and only one was chosen. Here, those excesses of love remain… Unfiltered, unbound, and still echoing… A few last words which hopefully will inspire you to listen to those albums…
