Thus spake Rich Walker: It certainly does, doesn't it! Following on the path paved by the Finnish Suomi Finland Perkele Metal Magazine (R.I.P.), Bruno Bages of the French Rock Hard has been writing a doom metal history in three parts, Luciano Gaglio of the Italian Rock Hard is going to write a...

So, any doomsters around? What do you think about the current state of the doom scene? True doomsters struggling under the massive weight of the gloomy funeral goths and happy-go-lucky stoners, Solstice breaking up to make way for Tyrant, Candlemass and Trouble arising once again, new bands...
