THE STONE LORD'S TOP 5 NEW DOOM BANDS YOU SHOULD HEAR.

One of the greatest and pleasant things that can happen to a metal addict like me, is to discover underground stuff everyday. It is very cool when you listen a rare band you didn't know and later you just realized that nobody knows a thing about 'em. 
Since the beginning of this blog, lots of bands around the globe have sent me their material so that's why I decided to start "THE STONE LORD'S TOP 5 NEW DOOM BANDS YOU SHOULD HEAR. Vol 1"

1. FORMING THE VOID
The first time I heard the track “Three eyed gazelle” I felt really hipnotized. This guys are just amazing. FORMINGTHE VOID combines a powerful doom with marked proggy influences. They started as a progressive rock band, but in Skyward (their last release) they just reached another level of sonic perfection. I’m pretty sure you’ll dig their tunes.


2. CRUD

I’ve been listening to this guys a lot over the last months and I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy their stuff. This horrifying sludge quartet from FL is FILTHY AND CRUSHING AS FUCK. The true sound of decadence and misery. It will be difficult for you not to remember some sludge monsters such as Eyehategod and Dopethrone. So If you wanna listen something rad and heavy you definitely need to listen to CRUD.



3. NONSUN
One of the very first bands who sent me material to TSL fb page This ukranian duo creates what is for me the real Drone/Doom sound, very atmospherical and beautiful between the heaviness. Sons of Earth. Their songs are mostly instrumental. I’m sure this band will convince many people  to start listening to the genre. Nonsun is a gorgeous project to appreciate.


4. HELLHOOKAH
Another two piece band, this time from Lithuania and the only band on the list actually playing old school doom metal in the vein of Pentagram and Saint Vitus. It’s almost sure you’ll enjoy this guys because if you love doom metal you’ll love Hellhookah. Lossless.



5. HAUNTED
What could be better than a powerful female voice combined with Iommic riffs? I think is very hard to find better things in life. Haunted is a band from 5 pieces born in Italy. They give us  a fresh Stoner/Doom which achieves that intensity that’s very difficult to reach. They are currently doing studio work but you can check their single “Silvercomb”. If you like Windhand you’ll love this guys.
