Well sumumabitch. I done and made another mix tape for
y’all. This time turning away from the thudding heavy guitar repetition mantra
workouts of mix one, and towards the heavy mantric workouts of what is
nominally dubbed ‘doom metal’. Invoking doom, hopelessness, some of it
formless, some of it with purpose. Bands from all over the world, and bands
making amazingly different music. Contrast the opening three, why don’t’cha
just to see what I mean? Abstract weirdness of the Chewers, followed swiftly by
A Very Old Ghost Behind the Farm throwing open the noise doors (might want to
be quick on the volume dial, headphone users and cohabiters) following swiftly
behind those two is the third contrast, the thudding Let the Churches Burn by
Suma, which I play to most people as an example of a perfect doom record.
Incidentally, anyone wants to pull a Sleep and repeat that thudding nodding
riff for an hour and a bit, layer some solipsistic vocals over the top, that’d
be Just Fine.
