November Fire - Through A Mournful Song

-
November Fire is a doom/stoner metal band from New England that formed in 1991.  Over the years members would come and go as the band recorded demos and played gigs throughout the Boston area; the band stayed active until 2004 and, after some sporadic reunions, returned to the scene in 2022.   Flash forward to 2024 and the band drops their full-length debut “ Through A Mournful Song .” My time with this album was well spent.  I’ve no doubt this is one of the more unique metal albums I’ve heard this year.  I would say doom is their foundation but they are hard to categorize.  A lot is going on in these songs and across its forty-minute runtime, the band doesn’t shy away from exploring variety within its dynamics.    There are a lot of psychedelic tendencies across its breadth and it often times has an unhinged quality, almost supernatural in a way.  The vocals from bassist Terry go a long way adding to the band’s special atmosphere.  His...

Devil Moon Risen - Fissure of Men

-
Devil Moon Risen is an Arizona based band with a very unique sound.  They formed in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic and dropped an EP.   Their brand of high energy and catchy music combines punk, desert rock, and stoner doom into a truly dynamic sound that blazes from start to finish!  Oh and they also include sludge and old school heavy metal into the mix!   “ Fissure of Men ,” is their debut full-length album…and it is a massive achievement! The band is a three piece but they sound even bigger. Chihuahua Chad (I hope that is his real name) plays bass guitar, upright bass, and vocals.  His bass is a huge component to the album, if not the main one.  He is absolutely pulsating, steering the direction of the band even while he compliments the other two member’s own styles.  His vocals are extremely varied, everything from cleans and screams.   Guitarist Rocky Destructo (awesome) has just a big of a job though as the album’s onl...

Fireblood - Hellalujah

-
Fireblood is a doom/sludge band from Charlotte, North Carolina.  " Hellalujah ," is their debut EP, an 18 minute banger of an album with riffs for days. Their southern roots should let this be a surprise to no one but their music has a swampy, groovy core to it.  The guitar tone is dirty and abrasive as hell, a sterling combination of doom, sludge, and that classic southern-tinge that has that special sort of intensity.   Mike Rot is the only guitarist but he sounds like seven because his riffs are heavy and layered as a goddamn dump truck full of coked up alligators.  Despite how great the riffs are, any band of this type would be worthless without a good rhythm section.  Thomas Stanfel (drums) and  Angel Rot (bass) are a two man wrecking crew.  Their own sound and tones are heavy as lead and unmovable as that dump truck I mentioned earlier.  Travis Overcash 's vocals are pure gut and guile, offering a variety that serves up growls, screa...
