The Doom/Sludge/ Black Metal Label "Flenser", has produced some real gems in the last year with two of the them being in my top 5- Necrite and this seething black metal monster from the creator of Pandiscordian Necrogenesis. True, this doesn't break new ground -but the punk riffs mixed with black metal atmosphere make this a must listen. This is a 30 minute battering ram- check it out.

If you don't smoke weed regularly, it's time to start. Om, formed by members of the disbanded Sleep, released this debut album in 2005. Variations On A Theme is terribly relaxing and calm, reminiscent of Sleep. This record is a must have for all stoner/doom fans.

Wow, here's a very interesting album from Hildolf's project Draugar and this one is hard to describe because it's just so damn out there. The raw production, vocals a bit reminiscent of Wrest at times but seriously 10 times more psychotic, meandering creepy keyboards, and insane guitar riffs blistering with distortion all combine for one hell of a disturbing and chaotic experience. Not for the casual listener, but holy hell I love this one.
