It's Bandcamp Friday!!!

It’s Bandcamp Friday once again! This special day where Bandcamp waives its revenue share and all the money goes directly to the artists and labels is here. I like to take this opportunity to give you music lovers some buying suggestions and tell you what are my personal picks of the week and get a little traffic on the blog by the same token. So, here they are, from your friendly Harbinger of D.O.O.M.

First off, what is undoubtedly my pick of the week (an album review will follow sometime this week), is Altareth’s debut record, Blood. A stunning sludgey/occult/doom album on Magnetic Eye Records. Think Black Sabbath meets Sleep with a dose of Windhand. You can pick it up on Bandcamp here. 

Second, not a week goes by without a great release from the mighty Ripple Music it seems, and this week is no different. The Salem, Massachusetts natives Mother Iron Horse are back with their sophomore release, Under the Blood Moon, and it’s a scorcher of an album! If occult, mean, and heavy is your thing, then this is the record for you, right here on Bandcamp.

Third, a lengthy compilation running over three hours in length from the prolific maestro WEEDIAN is out this week focusing on Denmark and it’s a fantastic way to discover new doom/stoner/metal talent from that great Nordic country. And it’s a “Name Your Price” release so you have no excuse not to check out Trip to Denmark right here.

Fourth, we go to a band I recently found out about and which has blown my socks off: Spacelord from Buffalo, New York. They give us a cosmic blast of stoner rock on their third full length album, False Dawn. Not to be missed, right this way.

And last but not least, if you’re looking for a single track from what will probably be an awesome album out in early 2022, we have the all-powerful New York band Titanosaur with their spanking new “Conspiracy” single which you can get here. If you’re into Sabbath, Motorhead and/or Monster Magnet, they’ve got you covered.

That’s it for this #BandcampFriday, folks. I hope you give your ears the gift of great music while supporting those hard-working bands and that your weekend is a memorable one. Until next time, happy listening!
