Five new heavy releases from this week, streaming in full right here in the post. Press play and dig in.
Watch the video version: five picks, 30 seconds of each.
Sonic Moon are a five piece from Aarhus, Denmark. In Lack Of Clarity is their second album and their first for Ripple Music. The seven tracks lean heavier and darker than their debut, with stoner doom riffs, hazy psych parts, and strong vocals on top. Start with Weightlessness.
Autumn Tomb is a new trio made up of Steve Moore from Zombi and Bryan Richie and Santiago "Jimmy" Vela from The Sword. This self titled record is their debut. It has five long tracks of slow, detuned doom with dark synth underneath. Start with Crumbling Thrones.
Konvent are a four piece from Denmark. Firesky is their third album. It has five tracks of death doom, slow and very heavy, with black metal edges in places and clean passages that open the songs up. Start with the title track, Firesky.
Electric Valley are a power trio from Madrid. Echo has seven tracks and was recorded live in the studio. The sound is stoner doom at the core, with psychedelic and atmospheric parts and a space theme running through the record. Start with Gata.
Hypno5e come from France and play cinematic metal that mixes prog and post metal. Trame Noire has five tracks and runs about 39 minutes, which is short for this band. Three of the tracks run close to ten minutes. Start with Lost Fires.
That's the week. New recommendations every Friday. If we missed one, tell us in the comments.
