1 Pale Divine 2012 - Painted Windows Black
With most of doom bands becoming faceless amid neverending onslaught of totally cliched bands, above stand those who manage to attain the spirit of their own while still adgering to the well-recognized formula of Sabbathian grooves. Pale Divine's last opus is exactly what the above description implies as it not only elevates above its predecessor in avery aspect possible, but proudly stands on the top of the doom pantheon of the last decade. And may those who disagree just fade into obscurity. AMAZING 10/10
2 Adrift for Days 2012 - Come Midnight.
Following the debut release "Lunar Maria", Australian dwellers have made nearly impossible again. Producing an amalgamation of of the genres fuzz/stoner/blues/metal/smoke all combined into one sacriligious package, these guys definetely know how to render the listner comletley helpless against the symphony of heavy as fuck, but the same tume sedative and mesmerizing tunes taking its origins from the desolate landscapes of Land Downunder. With the overall running time exceeding 70 minutes, you will not find a better candidate to accompany you on a pleasing smoke-filled journey which will continue for a big number of spins. OUTSTANDING 10/10
3 Law Of The Tongue 2012 - Law Of The Tongue
Yet another release from Australia is proudly taking the third place in my top 10. All of you are fans of Eyehategod, right ?. So to say it plain and simple , these guys heave unleashed a good dose of lethal hatred straight from the swamps of Louisiana ( soory, alligator-infested ponds of some australian towns lol). A good warm up to make the tedious anticipation of next Eyehategod full-length less tedious.
4 Eagle Twin 2012 - The Feather Tipped the Serpent's Scale
What i really like about Utah's Eagle Twin, is that there is not another band existing in our universe which has succeeded in sounding like them. Combining heavy-as- russian-concrete sludge with droning tones from the bowels of the earth, and blending all this mess with progressive twists of King Crimson and hell-knowns what else, these duo is either worshipping the illuminated shape-shifting reptilians or just playing an evil joke with us. Worshippers of The Sontaran Experiment will understand, even though these bands hardly have anything in common.
5 The Disease Concept - 2012 - Liquor Bottles and Broken Steel
Yeah, this about rules, but if you don't enjoy struggling with morining hangovers you can quit reading right now. The Disease Concept is the creme de la creme of the heavy sludge/doom scene, Corey Bing on drums (Fistula, Accept Death, Morbid Wizard, Sollubi, Ultralord, 10,000 other bands, etc.), Jesse Kling on vocals (Sollubi, Morbid Wizard, etc.), Dave Szulkin on guitars (Blood Farmers), Tommy Southard on guitars (Solace, Sollubi, ex-Godspeed), and Chris Griffith on bass (Sollubi, Pennsylvania Connection). Hell- yeah, with such a line i would not have dropped a single tear had the dark Mayan prophecy been delivered on Decebber the 21-st ! Hey, crack a bear open and enjoy one of the best sludge opuses of all time.
