-=-=[ The Mountain Man ]=-=-

Title: Bloodlust

Genre: Deathcore/Doom Metal

Lineup:

Tevyn Pacey - Bass

Ryan McCreedy - Drums

Jordan Orr - Guitars

Tyson Tambellini - Guitars

Parker Lane - Vocals

Notes: Wanted to hear those weird deathcore vocals but slowwww. So now we got this, a 24 minute fun ride. Each track has its own unique flavor, but our favorite has to be the last one, "Ghost". Was listening to this in the headbanging stance while stirring the oatmeal pot.

Oh, do send your recommendations to what you think fits the "deathcore doom" vibe.

Doom:VS - Aeternum Vale [Funeral/Death] [FFO: Ahab, Mizmor]

When I listened to this I was transported to this place, the place depicted on the album cover. Dead, desolate, vast, and grey. I don't think this album is unique in any musical way, but its atmosphere is unmatched. Metal Archives lists Ahab on the Similar Artists tab, but I couldn't help but think of Mizmor. More specifically, Mizmor's "Cairn".

Also it sounds so modern and ahead of its time, like, there's no way this was produced in 2006!!!

A rerecording of one of their tracks from their 2000 album "Journey to the End of Night". I think this does the original justice, and is a firm favourite of mine.

Progressive stoner metal from NYC. Debut LP released in 2015, Linked is the opening track, a slow sludgy intro to speed up with a bit of a dip into hardcore and more fun to be had towards the end.

Atmospheric post-metal/sludge in a beautiful way. Kinda flowery if that makes sense, but a nice tune to kinda zone out to. Not heavy enough to be on Metal Archives, but once again - fuck em.

First EP this group from Sweden released, in 2018. Heavy psych/stoner doom metal with female vocals. Kinda hypnotic, and with a great bass sound. Also very playful, if that makes any sense.

This EP is on the shorter side, at around 28 minutes, if you decide to go on past the track I'm linking.

Heavy as fuck stoner/doom/sludge metal from Japan. This is the opener to their latest album - their seventh(?). Quite a long career for a band from a place of origin whose typically known for the "visual kei" and "burning spirits" movements.

Very impressive. A shortie but a goodie almost 40 minutes. Full, hard, noisy, angry.

They've got that, those Thou screams, they sound a bit like Primitive Man, which makes sense given that I got Indian from the similar artists tab. They also remind me a tiny bit of Celeste, must be the hardcore elements. They've got a sound which seems to just, raise doom, in the literal sense of the word. Like imagine someone screaming from the top of their lungs atop a high vantage point, and the earth having been split and spewing all kinds of sounds and fire. As all of this is happening, the vocalist seems to open their arms wide open, and moving them up and up and up, as to accept and invite more doom to the world.

Hah, the first bit when the vocals hit I was like "Finally! Some good black metal adjacent vocals!"

On the end of "Rhetoric of No" track the noise at the end reminds me of a rattlesnake.

Favorite Tracks:

• Rape
• The Impetus Bleeds
• Rhetoric of No

EDIT: Perhaps the only thing that is a bit sad about this album, is that it's short, and I'm already rewinding it.

Hauntingly beautiful stoner/doom metal from Canada, album released in 2023. Linking the third track, though the one prior kicks ass too. But I feel this one slightly edges it out.

From Finland we have this latest release of theirs in the stoner/doom genre. Gonna link the first track. Got a great fuzzy groove and an aggressive raspy Finnish voice, which might take some getting used to, but once it does, there are tracks they've released that match the same aggression.

More stoner/sludge metal of a somewhat psychedelic variety with a female guest vocalist today. This one from Sweden, performed in Swedish. Their second LP released in 2015 and kicks ass. Linked is the fifth track. Awesome riffing throughout the album and a generally laid-back vocal performance really help to make this particular album stand apart imo. The beautiful pastel album art is different as well!

Greek stoner doom metal, second album released in 2020 with favorable acclaim. Sounding great with the higher pitched voice and heavy as fuck instruments, a bit like Sleep or Electric Wizard. Linked is the first song, though the rest of the album is great - it's fairly short for a doom LP xD.

Been going through a bunch of post-metal recently and my recommended algorithm is a bit all over the place at the moment, so actual tracks I want to keep are few and far between currently.

However, this one here tickles my fancy in a weird way. The band doesn't stick to just one genre on this album and it's not exactly cohesive or well-blended, but I do like the songwriting on individual parts to songs. Not this one that's linked here though, It blends pretty will imo and I feel it fits perfectly in this community, despite being instrumental only.

These guys are from Belgium, and this is from their latest album released in July 2025.

Uk's crust punk/sludge metal band with clear intent to adapt the mythology of the novel called "Watership Down" into this kind of extreme music. This is from their first of three albums released in 2006. Linked is probably their namesake song as you can hear it mentioned in the lyrics.

With this artist being punk-related here, there might be some aspects that aren't for everyone, like for myself, it's the voice - it took me a few spins for me to not mind it so much. But I've relented to say it matches the music well enough, which is crushing and pessimistic, yet melodic in a way; even epic when it speeds up occasionally. A great way to spend an afternoon is to go through the whole trilogy of albums.

Stoner metal from the UK, latest album of theirs released in 2024. the opener is linked today; has a beautiful somber feeling to it, but not depressive.

Tidal, Bandcamp, RateYourMusic, Encyclopaedia Metallum

Quite underrated. I found them when I searched for themes of "Pain" and for a genre of "Sludge".

It's only available on Bandcamp. I plan to upload this on youtube for my Favorites 2025 playlist. The playlist starts as some random mix of songs, then takes a detour on Progressive, Black, Doom, and now Sludge. It's been one hell of a year, and more specifically, one hell of a three months.

Stoner/doom band with psychedelic elements from Austin, Texas, USA released this debut in 2014. Fuzzy haze and slightly trippy atmosphere kinda hearkens to the desert of where they sorta come from - or rather - are next to lol. Excellent beat and sound from this trio, might be worth looking into their other releases, tho they seem to play more closely to stoner rock on those.
