Heavy Metal
Sometime back in 2023, Nate Garrett (Spirit Adrift) mentioned a new project that had been percolating in his head on his semi-weekly YouTube channel Big Riff Energy. He said he wasn’t going to talk about it in detail until after it’s released and he was true to his word. Before any tracks were laid down, I took a guess that it would be incorporate influences that weren’t usually found in his Spirit Adrift albums — shoegaze, post-punk, maybe some gothic country and metal along the lines of Type O Negative, who he’d talked about listening to as a kid. Once the first video was released, the narrative was that it was just a Type O Negative tribute. But that’s just one small element of many, including Danzig, and bits of all the genres I guessed at except for country. I also hear some subtle horror synth vibes. It remains song based, with no extended synth textures, and yet the spirits of John Carpenter and Goblin lurk in the shadows. Honestly, while I had a few of the Type O Negative albums in the 90s, I like this project better. It’s more focused, a concise album that manages to be both dark and exuberant, and packed with nearly as many great riffs as a Spirit Adrift album. A perfect album for those who keep their Halloween decorations up through New Year’s.
Every time I start getting an itch for some good rock ‘n’ doom, a new band pops up to scratch it — Green & Wood (2009), Magic Circle (2013), High Reeper (2017), and then L.A.’s Early Moods with their debut in 2022, carrying on the proto-metal era of early Sabbath and the more swinging, up tempo sides of Pentagram, Trouble and The Obsessed that you don’t often hear in modern doom metal. On their sophomore album, Early Moods includes some traditional doom along the lines of Candlemass, but the plodding rhythms are injected more often than not with a NWOBHM twin guitar gallop and Uli Roth era Scorpions. An excellent followup to a cracking debut and a hopeful sign of potential longevity, though it’ll be hard to match the likes of The Obsessed, who just released a new album 48 years into their career.
Bubbling under: Worshipper, High Reeper, Lünd, Haunt, I Am the Intimidator, Tribulation, Castle Rat, Coffin Storm, Midnight, Grand Magus, Satan, Traveler, Mean Mistreater, Crystal Viper, Battlesnake, Jupiter Cyclops, Black Capricorn, Freeways, Warlord. | More.

Dunno why it took me so long to find this thread. Having binge listened to Pantera, Sepultura, and Lamb of God this whole year, my library is simply going around in circles. Please recommend similar artists! Awesome thread and channel @Monsterzero ! \m/
PS. No Opeth please, memorized them by heart.

Speaking of Opeth and supergroups/projects (read, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson and gang), here is a favorite of mine - Soen.
Some Pills For Ayala.I find most of the bands on Forbidden place records either generic or a little 'out there' but this Album hits the spot for me :-

It seems groove metal is not much in fashion these days -- RYM does have a list of 50 albums, but Kublai Khan TX is the only one I'd heard of. Beyond the trad metal I listed above, here's some thrashy ones I enjoyed.

Amammoth. Hope the Album is as good as this track. Doomy Sludge with a nice Hammond sound. It'll probably be NYP at some point this year as EVR offered their Catalogue up at NYP several times last year :-

Heavy metal, 80s vibes.
Power, maybe album of the year for me.
Another interesting stuff.
And in the end, one of my favourites.
