| Dewi's Dungeon // January 27th
Needed some time to pick wisely this last week's tops, cause there was much to choose from! Of course you heard that ...And Oceans album and if you haven't and you're into symphonic BM then you should, but in addition here are some other releases that may hit that sweet spot. Remember these lists are all about Death, Doom and Black Metal mainly, with space for Stoner, Dark Jazz, and whatever I feel like. You won't find any of the -core subgenres here! Sorry! | 1 |  | Trastorned Into The Void
Country: Chile
Genre: Thrash Metal
Label: Dying Victims
Modern thrash going on strong today.
https://dyingvictimsproductions.bandcamp.com/album/trastorned-into-the-void | 2 |  | Malleus The Fires of Heaven
Country: US
Genre: Black Metal
Label: Armageddon
Abrasive punkthrone with some slow doom leanings. The speedy, shorter tracks ala Hellhammer is where this is at.
https://armageddonlabel.bandcamp.com/album/the-fires-of-heaven | 3 |  | Dark Sarah Attack Of Orym
Country: Finland
Genre: Symphonic Metal
Label: Riena
Well, they are not Nightwish, but they do have something that may keep you coming back. Strictly for fans of this particular genre.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMawpjGZHE0&ab_channel=SymphonicGothicMetal | 4 |  | Lumen Ad Mortem Upon The Edge Of Darkness
Country: Australia
Genre: Black Metal
Label: Bitterloss
Solid blend of second wave Norwegian BM with atmoblack; sweet balance of brutality and melody.
https://bitterlossrecords-au.bandcamp.com/album/upon-the-edge-of-darkness | 5 |  | Anachronism Meanders
Country: Switzerland
Genre: Dissodeath
Label: Avantgarde
Most of you know this one already but pretty strong dissodeath from this new Swiss band.
https://avantgardemusic.bandcamp.com/album/meanders | 6 |  | Grief Symposium ...In the Absence of Light
Country: England
Genre: Death Doom
Label: Church Road
Heavy, stark, gritty death doom.
https://griefsymposium.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-absence-of-light | 7 |  | Schavot Kronieken Uit de Nevel
Country: Netherlands
Genre: Black Metal
Label: Void Wanderer
Correction: This is nothing like Abigor, but more in line with 2nd wave Norwegian BM, Dissection and all that crew. A bit dense but the use of synths and a few tricks makie for an interesting jam.
https://voidwandererproductions.bandcamp.com/album/kronieken-uit-de-nevel | 8 |  | Dust Prophet One Last look Upon The Sky
Country: England
Genre: Stoner / Doom / Psychedelic
Label: Self Released
As you may guess, this is just some good ol' dune surfing soundtrack, but it's more than decent.
https://dustprophet.bandcamp.com/album/one-last-look-upon-the-sky-full-album | 9 |  | Dreadwitch Tower of the Severed Serpent
Country: Denmark
Genre: Sludge / Doom
Label: Self Released
Really sticks to the tags. Sludgy and doomy, with some gnarly growls for extra flavor.
https://dreadwitch.bandcamp.com/album/tower-of-the-severed-serpent | 10 |  | Signo Rojo There Was A Hole Here
Country: Sweden
Genre: Sludge
Label: Majestic Mountain
Correction: Bandcamp tags are never to be trusted. This is just stoner & sludge. Seems it's their second album? Not sure. It's... not a blast, but it's ok I guess.
