READERS’ CHOICE: THE SLOOOOW DOOM EDITION

‘Cause sometimes we like it slow.

Mobius: Dooooooown. Temmmmmpooooo. Sloooooow. Dooooooom. You get the point. Raw and crusty, down and dirty doom from the Slovak Republic. For fans of bands like Batillus and Salome. [Thanks: Hopig Santourian]
The Osedax: Heavy, sludgy, slow as fuck doom with good production that really captures the doominess in a clear and pure way. Similar to Mouth of the Architect and Rwake, but as reader Justin X XIII put in his email to us, “more listenable.” Right on.
Mar De Grises: These Chileans play their doom with a Northern European panache; big, epic and melodic. Think Insomnium, Swallow the Sun, etc. Stream the track “Shining Human Skin” from their new album Streams Inwards, out August 30th, courtesy of Season of Mist: “Shining Human Skin” (mp3).
