Doom music

Where mammoth fur meets crushing drone doom: Mother Raspberry's Summit of Excellance delivers bold new sounds from atop the peak of greatness on their 16th studio album. Buzzard's Mean Bone — what happens when Bob Dylan listens to Black Sabbath — is "soulful, sarcastic, and endlessly listenable," while their Crushing Burden of Despair stomps through bluesy social commentary with zero punches pulled. The Mountain King's Pike Dreams is a crushing drone-doom reckoning of 2,000 years of human existence, and Vükland's íO descends into heavy doom ambient darkness — as above, so below.
