Doom Charts came out earlier this week: https://doomcharts.com/2018/07/31/doom-charts-july-2018/
While the second Lucifer album got some love, Maggot Heart didn't which is unfortunate, as it's nearly as great. Perhaps because it's not really doom. My review:

Brimstone Coven topped the list, who I've seen play several times. Secret weapon Andrew D'Cagna (bass/vocals) performed all the parts on his Ironflame project last year, and is contributing more than ever since they lost singer Big John, and they still have harmonies.
Last weekend was Alehorn Of Power X, with Zuul, Owl, Ignitor, Mega Colossus, Bible Of The Devil and High Spirits. I was stoked to see Oakland's Owl, who I first heard in 2012, with the then 15 year-old guitar prodigy Axell Baechle. They were a bit sludgier than they had been in the past, a change from their proto-metal and prog roots. A few people brought Dangerous Toys albums for Ignitor singer Jason McMaster to sign. I'd never really listened to them, will put in my pile. Mega Colossus were fun, straight up trad metal. I was also going back and forth to the smaller room where Deepspacepilots, Pale Divine and Apostles of Solitude were playing. Bible of The Devil broke into Greg Kihn Band's "The Breakup Song" near then end, and High Spirits topped the bill with their best performance I've seen so far. Quite a packed night of space psych, metal, melodic hard rock and doom!
Good read on Bandcamp today.
