FROM THE SWAMPS

Anhedonist is a now defunct death/doom band from Seattle. One of their members has gone on to be the bassist of up and coming band, Mortiferum . If you are currently on a Spectral Voice and diSEMBOWELMENT binge as I am, this band is certainly for you. Netherwards is their only album :'( Very funeral-y without any overindulgence or melodrama, so it can just barely be referred to as such. Mostly just heavy, slow, and oriented toward the void... Netherwards

Plague of Carcosa is a doom metal band from Chicago, IL that just released a single called Rats In The Walls. Listening to it is like watching a stick of incense slowly burn, smoke floating to the ceiling in tight curls, inundating a cathedral with the smell of marijuana. The riffs do NOT disappoint, and if you are hungry for Bongripper-tier doom, don't hesitate to download this shit. After all, it was mastered by one of the guitarists of Bongripper, Dennis. Very contemplative instrumental doom that milks the sweetest of their riffs without losing any heaviness or grit. For fans of Beast In The Field, Fister, and Conan. Download it for free on their bandcamp! Plague of Carcosa
