217. Vast Oceans Lachrymose - While Heaven Wept (Epic Progressive/Power/Doom Metal, 2009)

Art by John Martin: "Christ Stilleth the Tempest", 1852

John Martin was born in 1789 in Haydon Bridge, England, to a poor family living in a one-room cottage. At age fourteen, he studied heraldic painting as a coachbuilder’s apprentice - later on he earned his living as a glassmaker - in 1812 he decided to independently work as a painter and soon gained popularity.

Crypt Sermon – The Stygian Rose (2024)

Matt Lynch takes a look at The Stygian Rose, the new album from Philadelphia epic doomsters Crypt Sermon, released on June 14th on Dark Descent Records.

Like a rewarding read, and like a positive upwards spiral producing routine, this record tells the law of diminishing returns to go f*ck itself because each revisit unfurls a little something more. If you want to get really into the weeds of it, get the lyrics out while you’re listening to it and cross check the songs like you’re reading The Sillmarillion with your two copies. You have two copies of The Silmarillion, right? For songs that are as dark as the atmosphere is, they are gorgeously written, meticulously crafted, paired in a way that compliments its predecessor and follower, and presented in a manner that exactly suits Crypt Sermon are looking to do.

seriously great epic doom band

[sonic-emporium]

To take the ashen mark upon one's head To enter in to sacred rites To read aloud the secrets left unsaid Is to know Sophia's light

Signs and sigils Painted on the floor Blood and sinew Open up the door The shackles have been loosened from your hands The blindfold taken off your eyes An ancient codex from distant lands Reveals wisdom this world belies Signs and sigils Painted on the floor Blood and sinew Open up the door Raise the chalice Drinking deep the blood Spill the last few Drops upon the floor Key of Solomon Conjure unholy name Key of Solomon In the flame Clothe yourself in the exorcist robes Make the sign of the cross and the rose Calling demons from the land of Nod East of Eden, where Cain lived out his exile from your God

My Favorite Metal Bands

As the title suggests, I’m going to be talking about my favorite metal bands and WHY I love them and specifically my favorite album/release from them. This isn’t in any particular order, though Death and Type O Negative are my absolute favorite.

Death

My favorite Death Metal band ough I love em this band is my baby. There’s so much variety and so many fucking hooks. He always managed to make each album interesting in their own way. I love all the albums, my favorite has to be Leprosy though.

Type O Negative

This shit here is my jam, literally so many good songs from each album. My favorite is October Rust, personally.

Black Sabbath

I know this might be kind of a sin but I love the Dio-era most. Listen to “Heaven and Hell” and “Dehumanizer”

Candlemass

Literally one of the greatest doom metal bands ever, I love “Epicus Doomicus Metallus” but my personal favorite is “Nightfall”

Bathory

EEEEEEEE oh my god i think this might be my favorite black metal band. My favorite from them is “Under the Sign of the Black Mark”.

Sanctuary

Those first two albums are so fucking good, honestly I recommend both “Refuge Denied” and “Into The Mirror Black”

Venom

Oh my god their first two albums are so fucking good, please give them the song “Buried Alive” a listen off the album “Black Metal”.

Control Denied

This has to be my fav progressive metal band (even if they only lasted one album), I HIGHLY recommend “The Fragile Art of Existence”.

Root

Specifically, Zjevení bc I don’t really care much for their other stuff. Shit is just my jam, this is the kind of Black Metal I fucking love.

That’s all I can remember right now! These are definitely up there in terms of what I think are the greatest metal bands.
