The Doom Charts For April 2024

 


Doom Charts

April 2024
 

“I heard they have some tasty DOOM CHARTS burgers…”

~ Jules (probably misheard quote from Pulp Fiction)

As we cruise into the month of May and feel the approaching summer, the sweet fragrance of outdoor festivals, we present to you the April Doom Charts. Those albums that were spun the most and loved the hardest. As usual, there are many more. And you might have found a different favorite album during the month of April. Do not hesitate to share those finds with us! Cause it might be our next favorite one as well. But below you will find the list of 40 albums that were voted for by the many Doom Charts Contributors. There are 197 albums on the total list and we haven’t seen a finish in points this close for the Numbers 1 and 2 for quite some time, I reckon. But all forty are as tasty as hell… Shit, all of them are like the cornerstone of any nutritious Heavy Underground breakfast… 

There is stomps!  That beastly list of amazing albums rampaging through the Heavy Underground... The April 2024 edition of the Doom Charts!

Of the 40 on the list I voted for: No Man's Valley, Dätcha Mandala, DOOL, Tet, Yeast Machine, Guenna, Cannabus, King of None, Iron Blanket, Robot God & The Lunar Effect !

But as usual, we're running down all forty over on Stoner HiVe, starting with Number 40 Typhuzz and we could have easily voted for that one as well... As most of the others! Amazing month once again!

Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, journalists, radio, podcasters and reviewers from the 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…

King of None – Weightless Waters


King of None – Weightless Waters
Self released – 2019
Rock, Metal, Stoner
Rated: ****

It is the third release for Finnish five-piece outfit King Of None and it’s definitely the best one to date! After hanging out on the damn fine and freaky hot Fortarock festival last weekend, which caters to all sides of metal, but only a bit to hardrock and stoner, the King Of None sound comes across as the perfect transition. The new release is called Weightless Waters and features six highly metallic stoner tracks. Wild guitar work, filled with excellent riffs and damn fine solos. A bass sound that will make everything bounce and drums which seem to pound animalistic on half of the tracks and almost machinal on the other half. Which in turn almost gives it a sludgy vibe here or there. Gritty absolutely fitting vocals complete the tracks and turns Weightless Waters into an half hour of pure unadulterated stoner metal bliss! Digging the shit out of it!
