Münn is no exception. If you want doom in the same vein as Wormphlegm , this band is for you. Selbstmordwald Rehearsal 2/27/08

Whitehorse - Progression (2011)

Image
Whitehorse is an Australian sludge band, with a very unfortunate name choice , that I believe may have doomed them to internet obscurity. They are an amazing, original, super heavy band, that truly deserves more attention and listens. Their music has the nihilism and lumbering drudge of a classic Corrupted or Noothgrush song, but with more melody, and technical 'progression' and inventiveness. Seriously, give it a try. And if you like it, buy it on their bandcamp . It's really good. Progression

Wormphlegm - Tomb Of The Ancient King (2006)

Image
Wormphlegm was a Finnish doom band that was active for a mere six years, producing one EP and LP, after which deciding to call it quits. This music is crushing, dark, misanthropic, demented, and nihilistic--all important traits in making some good extreme  doom. Along with the heavy drone dirges they create, they are known for rumors about them engaging in self-harm to step up the insanity of their vocals. And trust me, the rumors totally make sense. Their vocals sound so genuinely twisted and deranged, that at points the music gets pretty...disturbing. If you're into this kind of thing,  Tyranny  is the band that came out of Wormphlegm's dissolution. Also really good, just not as crazy, more like traditional funeral doom. Track Listing: 1. Epejumalat Monet Tesse Muinen Palvenltin Lauran ja Lesse 2. Tomb Of The Ancient King 3. Return Of The Ice Age And The Tortyrant Tomb Of The Ancient King

Various Artists - Bollywood Bloodbath (2011)

Alright, this is a weird one, but bear with me. For those of you who are into Bollywood, international spooky music, or spooky things in general, this'll be right up your alley. It's a compilation of funky disco tunes from Bollywood B-horror movies in the '70s. What's not to love? It's good Bollywood music if you like that sort of thing, and of course lots of silly spooky sound effects, screams and stuff like that. Enjoy!
