My picks for April's Doom Charts
April continued the abundance of excellent new stoner/doom releases which reflects the higher amount of my monthly contibutions to the Doom Charts that made the top 40 and there were several more of that genre that were really close.
CENTER OF THE EARTH - MARS #16 April Doom Charts
".. the band’s 2nd studio album channels the menacing riffage and imposing voice of King Buzzo’s “Stag” era through a heavy psychedelic rock jam" ~Desert Vulture

FAERIE RING - WEARY TRAVELER #5 April Doom Charts

VOID KING - THE HIDDEN HYMNAL #9 April Doom Charts
"...situations and events that we can all readily relate to with those stories being told in powerful grave tones over a backdrop of dank dark refrains and thundering rhythms." ~ Desert Psychlist

CANNABUS - THE MAPLE SPLIFF SESSIONS #25 April Doom Charts
"On hearing the opening track ‘Cannabust’ I felt I was drifting in a Hermit Mage’s meandering, psychoactive dream of weed, acid and fuzz. The next track, a bluesy number called ‘Feeling Alright’ was more scathing but still couldn’t escape the acidic, fuzz knotted sound and I have to tell you, these knots are pulled TIGHT all through THE MAPLE SPLIFF SESSIONS. Seething licks that sizzle and pop as hard as any of the Japanese freak out bands, bite and scratch their way out from the clutches of fuzz leaving each track scarred and pitted. It’s been a while since I’ve heard an album as tight as THE MAPLE SPLIFF SESSIONS, even my tinnitus broke out in an acid sweat." ~ Deathrattle Podcast
