Blood Farmers - Blood Farmers

Heavy, marijuana-laced riffage. Heavily influenced by Sabbath, but definitely not a Sabbath ripoff. Anyone who has enjoyed some of the past stoner-type uploads that I have posted will enjoy this.

There's not much I really want to say, because I just want you people to download this and behold its excellence. Roll a joint and check this shit out.

Tracklist:

01. Albino

02. Bullet in my Head

03. Orgy of the Rats

04. Theme

05. Y.G.B.

06. The Holy Chalice

07. General Urko-I Drink Your Blood

08. Twisted Brain (Part 1)

09. Twisted Brain (Part 2)

Bedemon - Child of Darkness

Bedemon existed from '73 to '79 (The metal archives claims they are still active, but the lineup isn't really Bedemon) and played the same down and dirty flavor of doom that Pentagram does. Mostly because of the shared members and the fact that Randy Palmer, the main songwriter for Bedemon, also joined Pentagram as a guitarist for about a year. Bobby also does the vocals for the band. So, it is basically Pentagram Jr. But honestly, can you ever get enough of Pentagram?

While this album isn't the best of quality (it is from the original master tapes), it's got some great riffs on it and any fan of Pentagram will enjoy it. Heavy, dirty and fuzzy. Isn't that how everyone likes it?

Tracklist:

01. Child of Darkness

02. Enslaver of Humanity

03. Frozen Fear

04. One-Way Road

05. Serpent Venom

06. Last Call

07. Drive Me to the Grave

08. Into the Grave

09. Skinned

10. Through the Gates of Hell

11. Touch the Sky

12. Child of Darkness II

Sons of Otis - "Templeball"

If you want heavy, this shit is heavy. Heavy and laden with about twenty pounds of marijuana. These guys take stoner doom to a whole new level, in my opinion. Heavy riffs and atmospheric vocals with a tone of Saint Vitus. They even do a Vitus cover, so you know these guys are legit.

The "Windows Jam" is an excellent highlight on an album full of hallucinigenic highlights. *note* Highlights made with many swirling colors and sound. Listening to this album while under the influence of marijuana or any psychadelic drug may induce complete kick-assery. Check it out sober too. It's some good shit.

Mile High - 5:17

Nothing - 5:24

Vitus - 6:38

New Mole - 9:11

Steamroller - 3:53

Diesel - 9:19

Doom Over the World Vol. 1 : Traditional Riffs

So, I decided to do a little something different. I'm going to start making a few mixes to expose people to some bands they may not have heard of in a genre that they may be interested in. Or, expose people to a genre they've never heard and are interested in hearing. I wont be the only one making these mixes. Some are going to be donated by other contributors.

For my first round of mixes, I'm going to throw together some Doom compilations. This first compilation features some more traditional doom metal bands. It's a good primer for the genre and includes a couple bands that are more well known than the others on the compilation. If you're interested, check it out. More doom comps are coming.

I also realized, as I was uploading this mix, that I had forgotten to add Pagan Altar to the mix. So, please check them out. I'll put them on a later mix.

Penance - Proving Ground

Here's another offering from the altar of doom metal. Penance are a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania doom metal outfit who produce some great tunes. While the vocals are mixed a little higher in the recording than they probably should be, they don't overpower the riffs and backing tracks. A good thing since these guys have some pretty kick-ass riffs.

Definite influence from some of the greats like Saint Vitus and various stoner rock sounds. Down-low and dirty sounds, just the way I like them.

Any fans of stoner rock and traditional doom metal will enjoy this recording.

Penance - Proving Ground

1.	Proving Ground
2.	Cloudless
3.	Transcending
4.	Dead Already
5.	Bitter

Witch - Self-Titled

"Witch was formed in 2005 by Dinosaur Jr. guitarist J. Mascis and long time friend Dave Sweetapple. However, Mascis does not play guitar for the band; he plays his first instrument, the drums . To complete the band's lineup, Mascis and Sweetapple recruited the guitarist and vocalist, Kyle Thomas, from avant-folk group Feathers . Their eponymous debut album was released on March 7, 2006. They also contributed an alternate version of the song "Rip Van Winkle" to the Invaders compilation, which was released by Kemado Records in 2006. Their latest album Paralyzed was released on March 18th, 2008."

Now that that's out of the way, this album is an amazing piece of doom. And I listen to a LOT of doom. When I heard "Seer" by way of a recommendation, I was hooked. I didn't expect anything less from a project associated with Dinosaur Jr. members.

This is some definite stoner-feeling, traditional doom metal and fans of trad doom will appreciate it. There's a touch of psychedelic in there as well. Witch also released a new album recently (Paralyzed), but I believe this one is a little better. Don't get me wrong, definitely check out the new album, but the self-titled is an essential album from the contemporary doom scene.

Kyle Thomas - vocals,guitar
Antoine Guerlain - guitar
Dave Sweetapple - bass
J Mascis - drums
