May 2018 has been a great month for stoner/doom, both in terms of new releases and promos in the blog inbox.

Sanhedrin: Riding on the Dawn to Fiddler’s Green
Sanhedrin entranced me when I saw them open for Khemmis at Brooklyn’s St. Vitus in early 2017.

King Witch, Curse the Son, and Norse Mythology
Listening Lately: The Psycho Las Vegas Edition, ft. Goya, Mothership, Myrkur, and The Murder City Devils
My friends always make fun of me for having “new favorite bands.” I hear a group that speaks to me and suddenly they are the only CD in my car for a month. “Have you guys listened to the new Khemmis yet?” I’ll ask. “Have you checked out Graves at Sea?” And they’ll laugh and say,… Continue reading Listening Lately: The Psycho Las Vegas Edition, ft.
