Long-running Oakland, California-based doom metal band Cardinal Wyrm is preparing to release their fourth album, “Devotionals”, on December 11th, 2020.

Alongside the album’s details, cover art, and preorders, the song “Nightmarchers” has been made available for streaming.
 

Hailing from the fjords of Norway, Jointhugger are an explosive trio that instantly bring to mind the cosmic doom and atmospheres of rock colossi such as Shrinebuilder, Sleep and YOB. Having first came to the label’s attention back in April 2019, it was until a year later and the release of their storming debut, “I Am No One”, that Majestic Mountain Records simply had to act.

As Marco Berg explains:

From the label that brought you doom pioneers Sleep, welcome to the stage Green Druid. Brooding, atmospheric, isolationist. With weighty riffs summoning the Lovecraftian horrors of the cosmos, Green Druid’s music entrances listeners with tales of the Old Blood and of dismal worlds too soon forgotten.

Yashira has released an all-new track and music video today for their newest single “Shards of Heaven”. The new song is the first to be released off their newly announced full-length LP “Fail to Be”, which is slated for release on December 11th, 2020, via Good Fight Music. The music video for “Shards of Heaven” was directed by Cameron Nunez and can be seen below.

Following their latest album, “Salbrox” (2019, Ritual Productions), Blackened Sludge and Drone trio, Nibiru, have re-signed with Argonauta Records for the release of their sixth studio album, titled “Panspermia”, that will be seeing the light of day on Friday the 13th of November 2020.

Today, Thou have announced their collaborative album with Emma Ruth Rundle (appearing courtesy of Sargent House), “May Our Chambers Be Full”, which sees its release on October 30th, 2020, via Sacred Bones.

Its monolithic lead single, “Ancestral Recall” exemplifies the spirit of the collaboration. “It’s an easy marriage of our styles that was truly enhanced by everyone’s input during the arrangement process”.

Maryland-based psychedelic doom metal trio Yatra recently finalized work on their most ambitious and devastating release to date. The band proudly offers their crushing third album, “All is Lost”, now confirmed for October release through Grimoire Records, who this week issues the record's cover art, track listing, preorders, and more.
 

Of what started as a cover project in 2014, paying a tribute to bands alike Mastodon, Black Tusk, Red Fang or Sleep, should soon become a hot tip of Italy’s eclectic underground scene, when Athon began to create their own tracks and sound.

The four-piece collective hailing from the alps of Varese, Italy, combines their various influences with individual ideas, songwriting and a personal trademark sound, balancing graciously between the elements of stoner, sludge and doom metal.

Having first met in the late 90s over beers in Borlänge – a small Swedish town with a history forged from iron – Henrik, Lars and Michael struck up a pact whose potential would not be fully realised for almost fifteen years.
 

An album like a flow of acidic mantras, rich with dark atmospheres and full of distortions: “Eclectic Poison Tones”, the upcoming brand new full length record by Stoner Doom unit Jahbulong, will see the light of day on October 30th, 2020, via Go Down Records.

Being influenced from 70s psychedelia to Seattle’s 90s grunge, “Eclectic Poison Tones” is the result of the band’s ongoing development and hunger to explore new noise digressions.
