Little Rock, Arkansas doom trio Mammoth Caravan are set to release their second full-length album Frostbitten Galaxy with some shake-ups to their lineup and an overall increase in heaviness from their previous works. The sludge factor is a massive piece of what makes the band work, with heavy underlying grooves that demand heads be banged (often). To help rain their riff forward approach upon the masses, the band has recorded a music video for “Tusks of Orion,” a song that balances out the heaviness from both the New Orleans scene of the ‘90s and the Savannah scene of the early ‘00s for a perf ..read more

Nearly five years removed from their second full-length, Crypt Sermon are back with their third proper LP, The Stygian Rose– a slightly shorter album with a ton of ambition instilled by their newly minted six-piece. While the band admits to The Ruins of Fading Light to being a little too long, The Stygian Rose effectively does more with less time and feels like a truly collaborative effort from start to finish.

Invisible Oranges was tasked with debuting a new single, “VViccaphobia,” which is the longest on the albu ..read more

When it comes to being burned out, Sundowner are very nearly religious about it. The Australian sludge band take an over-the-top approach to nihilism and despondency, instilling a mystic quality in their deep-rooted antipathy. As you listen to their new album Lysergic Ritual, which we’re streaming here ahead of its 4/20 release date (because, of course), let the album’s harsh approach to riffy sludge tap into your wellspring of negativity. It’s okay to feel bad, Lysergic Ritual says, offering up some of the worst stuff the world has to offer as proof. … SUNDOWNER · Lysergic Ritual … While you ..read more
