Moab - Billow (Scion AV) The L.A.-based trio is back with the follow-up to 2009's excellent Ab Ovo with another helping of psychedelic doom metal. Sometimes plodding and sometimes thrashy, the riffs are incredibly heavy throughout. The higher register vocals are a welcome respite from the usual barked vocals in the doom scene. This album is a huge step forward for these guys. | Wo Fat - The Conjuring (Small Stone) The Dallas trio returns with their 5th album, cranking out five tracks of greasy, fuzzed out, psychedelic stoner doom. With the shortest track clocking in at six and half minutes and the closer droning on for upwards of seventeen minutes, these guys don’t shortchange the listener by any means. The riffs are solid throughout and the stellar blues leads keep things interesting. |
