Review:
A
lot of you will know the existence of one of my fave metal blogs –
Doomed & Stoned. I consider these guys family and good friends of
mine. Billy, Melissa and the rest of the Doomed & Stoned crew
have been promoting the world of Doom, Sludge, Stoner, Post-Metal and
everything in between for two years now. And to celebrate that
anniversary, Billy Goate has put together this amazing compilation
which focuses on female fronted Doom/Psych/Stoner Metal bands. As
there's been too many great ones to mention. Kudos to Paul Rote (Doomed & Stoned team member) who researched and contacted the bands who appear on this compilation. It's heavy as hell from start to
finish.
Billy's
description from his BandCamp Page will give you more info on what to
expect:
“Doomed
& Stoned's Second Anniversary Compilation stays faithful to our
focus on bringing talented underground heavy bands in the Sabbath
tradition to the attention of fans of doom metal and
stoner/psychedelic rock. We've noticed a marked increase in the
number of female fronted bands over the past several years. 'The
Enchanter's Ball' features a global merry-go-round of these groups,
each with their own unique and remarkable style. 30 bands, 30
unforgettable tracks. Thank you for being a part of our success over
the past two years! (Billy Goate - Founder & Editor-in-Chief)”
The
Enchanter's Ball is one tripped out and heavy as fuck extravaganza.
It's got too many great bands to mention. Though my personal faves
are BRUME, Sky Valley Mistress, Project Armageddon and the amazing
Cruces.
I
could do a more in-depth review. But I don't need to. Doomed &
Stoned have put out some great compilations in the past couple of
years but I have to say this is the best edition yet. Mainly because this edition features a wide range of bands across the
Doom/Sludge/Stoner Rock spectrum never mind the globe.
So
do yourself a favour check out this compilation now and be amazed by
the calibre of bands currently out there. As you've probably never
heard of a few them. I know I haven't....
When
you've finished checking out the other download compilations on
Doomed & Stoned BandCamp Page, head-over to their website and
Facebook Page and say I sent you. They'll be happy to see you as
these mofos are one of the best blogs around. Check it out.
