PadraigC Wow, I just had to buy this album. All three tracks are amazing. The sound is so full and encompassing, it just envelopes you. I have it playing in the studio when I'm making art - it's the perfect album for that, energizing and inspiring.
Favorite track: Cocoon Of Soul.

citysavage This album acts on me like a drug, a drug I've been looking for my whole life but could never find, one that casts me into a liminal state between dreams and wakefulness, where I'm alert and equally receptive to memories, images, and the outside world. Powerful stuff, heavy and crushing. Favorite track: Cocoon Of Soul.

God Nailer Start to finish is a full on skull fucking with a muddy spaded shovel that you used to dig your own grave with. Can't get enough of this crews musical tones. Turn it up to 11 for this one and try to blow your speakers. Cause i'm telling you it'll be worth it! Favorite track: Cocoon Of Soul.

about

Monolithic sludge/doom band EREMIT give us one of the heaviest and most ambitious album the style has seen in recent times. Featuring stunning album artwork by Mariusz Lewandowski (BELL WITCH), the band trudge through turbulent, winding structures without letting them affect the overall momentum. There are three epic songs, with the longest being over 33 minutes, where they flesh out every nuance and showcase rare depth while retaining unparalleled brutality. Being the band's debut, the emotions are all too raw and palpable, but perhaps that's what's needed to get the point across. This is undiluted, straight-from-the-heart, maxed out sludge/doom with moments of poignancy ensconced in the bludgeoning heaviness.

Rotten Human Kingdom (Blackened Sludge/Doom Metal)
by SUBTERRAEN (France)

French blackened sludge/doom maniacs are creating some of the finest sludge you'll hear. It's gut-churning, wicked, and heavy as balls, and it's all about mother nature's revenge on us. Mandatory. Eremit

Protosapien
by JUPITERIAN (Brazil)

Brazilian sludge/doom giants have given us what's easily among the best albums in the genre with their brand of thick, suffocating deathly sludge music. It's some next level stuff that you need. Eremit

Echoes of the Earth (Atmospheric Doom/Sludge Metal)
by SOOTHSAYER (Ireland)

This Irish band plays atmospheric sludge/doom that's intense and emotionally scarring at the same time. The feelings here are all too palpable. Don't miss out on this one! Eremit

Lone (Atmospheric Death/Doom Metal)
by OAK (Portugal)

supported by 230 fans who also own “Carrier Of Weight (Atmospheric Sludge/Doom Metal)”

Some pretty good atmospheric death-doom. The track order of this album is odd, with the first two songs being far longer and grander in scale than the latter two songs. It doesn't work super well to me, but I can appreciate the attempt at something new, and maybe it's someone else's thing. It's worth a listen. Camel

Unsettling Whispers

Vicious, sharp album that pounds you down with it's million accurate knife stabs. It packs such unexplained concentrated heaviness inside that it's not even funny. This record will swipe your smile off and take the command inside your brains. Unique and marvelous record that is hard to unwrap. It just works perfectly. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
