Vomitory - Raped in Their Own Blood


Genre: Death
Year: 1996
About: Classic, HEAVY old school swedish death metal. The vocals are fucking dirty and evil. The riffs pound hard against the double bass. This is raw death metal played at its best with intensity. Don't turn your lights off, bang your head.
Sounds Like: Grave, Dismember, Malevolent Creation, Fleshcrawl

Torche - s/t


Genre: Stoner, Doom, Psychedelic
Year: 2005
About: The debut album from Miami based stoner band Torche, it features driving rhythms and hypnotic riffs that draw you into a world of sludge only Torche could have crafted. This is not your typical doom album either, it's not "solely" suited for "stoners". Many of the songs are very melodic (save for Fuck Addict) and the vocals are sung in a clear, understandable way with low distortion. Torche perfectly blend the greatest aspects of doom metal with catchy and complexly written songs, resulting in one of your new favorite metal records.
Sounds Like: Mastodon, Baroness, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, Zoroaster

Death - Human


Genre: Death Metal, Progressive
Year: 1991
About: Released by what has been called "the death metal band that started it all," Human marked a stylistic change for the band to a more technical, progressive death metal sound. The lyrics changed from the cliche blood and gore to the introspective and pensive. Get this: you can actually understand these lyrics though he screams them. This album is constantly heavy, relentless, and aggressive, with a few spacey interludes thrown in for good measure, and the riffs are amazing. There are great time changes and start/stop rhythms throughout. This album is incredible, unlike any other in its genre, and if you're a fan of death metal, or metal in general, you're sure to enjoy it.
Sounds Like: Morbid Angel, Atheist, Obituary, Necrophagist

Om Discography


Genre: Stoner, Doom, Psychedelic
About: Om formed in 2003 out of the rhythm section of Sleep, with music similar in structure to Tibetan chanting. In 2007, the band played a set in Jerusalem that lasted over 5 hours, which marked a first for a Doom Metal band performing in a very religious country. This is true bong-ripping music, with most tracks lasting well over 15 minutes and each consisting of addicting riffs and heavy, driving drums. Just listening to Om with a focused mind is enough to get you high.
Sounds Like: Electric Wizard, Burning Witch, Sleep, Shrinebuilder, Zoroaster

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone


Genre: Stoner, Doom
Year: 2000
About: Filled with eerie samples from old horror b-films, this masterpiece of stoner metal epitomizes the genre. The riffs are heavy. The vocals echo with lost hope. The songs are carried along by monster riffs that put you into a manic trance. Old tube amp distortion brings back vintage Sabbath to the mind, whilst the songwriting gives it a more fresh edge. This is the soundtrack to the sound of bongs a-bubbling. LET IT REVERBERATE IN YOUR SKULL.
Sounds Like: Black Sabbath, Orange Goblin, Acid King, Bongzilla
