Doom

There is more than one band with this name: 1) Originating from Arlington, Virginia, United States of America, one of the earliest doom bands around, having been around in one form or another since 1971, it's safe to say that Pentagram had a big impact on Sabbath inspired doom metal that was to follow over the next decade. The band also strongly intertwines with the band Bedemon and is sometimes seen as one and the same.

There is more than one band called Charger: 1) Charger was a nwobhm band. They were latecomers to the scene and only released Desperadoes/Are You Out There single in 1987. The single is a rare and collectible item among NWOBHM fans. Furious pace of Charger made them one of more speed metal oriented bands of nwobhm. 2) In November 2000, Charger released their debut mini-CD through Undergroove - The Foul Year Of Our Lord' (distributed through Plastic Head) to critical acclaim in national and regional press as well as airplay on Total Rock, Radio One's Rock Show and XFM.

Robedoor is the duo of Alex: slime, knives and distortion, and Notnotfun label head honcho Britt on fire, howls and cloaks...
Hmmm... but what does all that mean, sonically? Well, precisely what you might imagine. A blackened drone drenched world of slime and knives and fire, dense clouds of distorted howls, a thick cloak of fuzz and buzz wrapped around the proceedings like a thick, well, cloak! Actually this is a lot prettier than you might imagine. That is, if your idea of pretty includes tons of low end and a world of slow motion doomdrone.

Alkerdeel spits out droney black doom metal with blown out practice space production, grinding guitars, blasting distorted drums, filthy super sick vocals, with bursts of sludge and stretches of loping minimal crunch, sort of mathy, all very very heavy, doomy and even psychedelic. Essential for fans of Darkthrone, Burning Witch, Wolves In The Throne Room, Beherit and why not, Mount Eerie … as well as other practitioners of grim buzz and noise.
