The Doom Chart for November 2020

 

Doom Charts

“You’ll never lose you’re mind as long as you’re heart always reminds you where you left it...” ~ Mike Cooley (Drive-By Truckers)

I don’t know about you, but 2020 has made it hard to remember where we left our minds. Luckily, as evidenced by our monthly chart, the heavy underground music scene has a huge heart and maintained its focus on releasing more killer music than ever before. November finds us with 20 Doom Charts debuts and 5 repeats from month’s prior. Dig in and let us know what you love and what we missed.

The November edition of the Doom Charts went live a couple of hours ago! A few of my personal votes went out to Thammuz, KARKARA, Ruff Majik, Starmonger, Murcielago, BIG OAF, 10 Code and The Absurd! But all the others are equally amazing, gonna start playing the Doom Charts at the Number One position for a change... Sun Crow's Quest For Oblivion starts now! Just read the blurb by Patrick: "Wielding a molten take on blackened blues, high upon wings of  existential doom and proto metal, this album oozes molasses-like  sweltering groove. These contents are heady, lysergically laced and  outright otherworldly at times but with morphing elements of aggressive  density giving way to gloomy, dismal virtuosity." How can you not immediately start listening?!

10 Code – Ride

 

10 Code – Ride
Self released – 2020
Rock, Hard, Grunge, Stoner
Rated: *****

Been listening to this album a lot, the most and almost all the time the past weeks! Which is only logical, since they kick things off with some proper grungy hardrock and pure smash ‘n grab trucking stoner after which they continue on with some more and glorious grunge as well as more of that windswept and fast paced stoner. We’re referring to the new album Ride by Greek foursome 10 Code! Formed on the dirty streets of Athens somewhere around that foul year of our lord 2011, the four released two damn fine EP’s, a crazy good full-sized album Swiftlets and now there’s follow-up Ride. Where Swiftlets seemed to move more into the QOTSA variation of the stoner sound and the Foo Fighters stadium rock, the new release is a step into their very own dimension. It brings their love for grunge into a much purer form or light and with those speedy desert sounds it all becomes incredibly tasty. Recorded by John Voulgaris at the Electric Highway Studio 10 Code deliver nine punchy and gravelly songs that are heavy, honest and one hell of a Ride!
