Happy Bandcamp Friday, friends! Bandcamp
waives its revenue share and all the money goes directly to the artists and
labels until midnight tonight. It may be the last one for a while as Bandcamp
had stated back in February that there would be four BC Fridays until May. If
ever that is the case, have no fear, your friendly Harbinger of D.O.O.M. will at
least continue to give you some purchasing suggestions so you can spend your
hard-earned money and still bring some support to all those beloved artists who
make great music for us.
Without further ado, let’s start off
with our first pick: Green Hog Band are back to pummel our ears with their
special brand of fuzzy desert/doom/stoner rock with Crypt of Doom which was released on May 1st via The
Swamp Records. You can grab a copy of that bad boy over here.
Numero dois, Weedian continues to
deliver the goods and unveils Trip to
Brazil, a brand-new compilation that includes the best
of the Brazilian underground scene. A whopping 51 hand-picked tracks with an
emphasis on stoner/doom metal. As usual, it’s a “Name Your Price” release so
you have no excuse not to get it.
Third, after a six-year absence,
fan-favorites Wo Fat return with their seventh studio album, The Singularity, a lengthy heavy rock
fest out today via the mighty Ripple Music. You can feast your ears on it here.
Fourth, the Lord of Coolness
Brant Bjork himself, and the mighty Rex Everything AKA Nick Oliveri formerly of
Queens of The Stone Age are back as the band Stoner with their sophomore album, Totally… via Heavy Psych Sounds Records. These guys don’t know the meaning of
the expression “sophomore slump.” Get stoned while you listen to it right this way.
Fifth, and certainly not least, Greenseeker
will release The Wish in a week’s
time on May 13th. This heavy psych/stoner band from Portland, Oregon
shows a ton of promise with this concept album of sorts. Pre-order it today and
get two terrific songs instantly.
And that’s our Bandcamp Friday for the month of May, folks! Let’s hope it returns sooner rather than later. Enjoy the music, show some love to your favorite artists and labels and maybe take a chance or two on some new ones that will eventually become new favorites. Until next time, the Harbinger wishes you a sunny weekend filled with awesome tunage.
