Number 15



Number 15


It was the grand Castle and their Deal Thy Fate album we banged our heads to on Number 16 and we now jump a mere two points to reach Number 15. Where we find a band that by some freaky coincidence also made the list on the exact same 15th position back in 2014. Released through Small Stone Records this year’s album not only features a name change, it also heralds a change in sound. The Swedes implore more metallic and more progressive touches on their blazing psychedelic heaviness this time around. Even more grand and grandiose than before the sound seems to simply explode into the vast universe that surrounds us. Bold, beautiful and breathtaking. On Number 15 we find…

The Doom Chart For February 2018


Doom Chart

“All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, ‘I’m a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!’ So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’“ (Howard Beale, Network)

Welcome to this months Doom Charts….. but don’t be fooled by the name. This embraces all and everything heavy that comes out from the swampy underground that we call our music scene. We embrace psychedelic fuzz blues rubbing shoulders with Satan worshiping doom fiends, classic hard rock banging heads with weed inspired stoner grooves that pay a visit to the down-tuned world of sludge and despair. This is our sonic temple of guitar worship and all religions are welcome……can you dig it?

The Doom Charts represent some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio and podcasters, and album reviewers from the doom-stoner-heavy underground around the globe.  Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom, sludge metal, stoner-psychedelic and heavy rock albums.  The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below.  This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world…

We returned just in time to see the February 2018 Doom Chart go live! Filled with twenty-five of the best albums of the heavy underground at that very moment. And then there are the almost TWO HUNDRED other albums that are bubbling under; voted for by the Doom Chart Contributors. We do it for the love of all the heavy albums, we vote for them with our hearts! And it pains us all to see the new albums by Ozone Mama listed at 26, JIRM on 27, Saturnist on 28, Oblivious on 29 and Wicked Wizzard on 30. And we could continue that list till number 218... Wow... So many great albums and so little time to listen to them all! But we try and we love doing it! Cause there is so much wonderful music out there! So once again, thanks to all the bands for doing what they do and thanks to all the compadres of the Doom Chart for sticking to their heavy guns and firing off their choices and blurbs every month! Let's keep this righteous thing rolling! For all that good heavy stuff out there!

Stoner HiVe’s Top 5 artists listened to last week…


Stoner HiVe’s
Top 5 artists listened to last week…


Once again, a day late with the Top 5 Most Listened albums of the past week. But everyone knows the deal, work, life and everything in between gets in the way. But here it is, those five favorites of the past week. Killer Boogie is back with a new record called Acid Dream, out on Heavy Psych Sounds. Catchy, fuzz heavy hardrock with enough kandy-kolored psychedelics to induce flashbacks! Mythic Sunship, featured on the Doom Charts released their new Upheaval record through El Paraiso Records. As we already mentioned: Grade A psychedelic space rock straight from the heart of Denmark. It’s jazzy, it’s groovy, it’s sunny and it’s spacious doom with the exact right amount of kraut. JIRM! Jeremy Irons and the Ratgang Malibus, as they used to be called, releases Surge Ex Monumentis, though Small Stone. The name change also features a change in sound. More metallic and more progressive touches. We definitely dig it! When Fu Manchu drops another record, one must sit up, pay attention and listen! Clone Of The Universe is out on At The Dojo Records. Their definite skate and surf take on stoner is still there, and it still shines like a summer morning sun full of promise. And as the sun starts the set we switch to side B, featuring only one eighteen-minute track. Featuring Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, it gives us a progressive stoner jam extravaganza that cannot do anything else but mesmerize! Sundrifter is another outfit that delivers graded A stoner! Visitations, features nine steamy, sweltering desert rockers that meander through some psychedelic avenues and space-oriented heaviness. What a record! As are all of them! So check’m out! Check’m all out!
