Mar De Grises - Sleep Just One Dawn

This is my first spin of the new Mar De Grises and I must say, bloody fucking hell! This is some amazing Doom metal! It's very progressive in places as well.
 
Ikuinen Kaamos - The Forlorn.

When the fuck will Epilogue be released ffs it had to be released at the beginning of 2008, no news whatsoever?

I've been waiting for it for ages too, I still can't believe it hasn't even leaked yet :(

That is a quality album, spun it loads when it first leaked.

Good band, get "The Tatterdemalion Express" if you don't have it as well as it belts too.
Sumner McKane- What A Great Place To Be, another top DD upload and a contender for the top 10 of 08. There seems to be shit loads of instrumental/ambient releases that are catching my eye. Last year was all about being completely obliterated ala dso, wittr, earthless etc. This year has a lot more chilled feeling to it, Jacaszek, Benoît Pioulard, Bon Iver, MRC, This will Destroy you, De la mancha etc. Next Autechre- Quaristice.
 
Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale.

I can't believe how ridiculously good this is..possibly album of the year for me. Can anyone recommend some similar bands, of a similar quality? I already know Ahab and Skepticism, and I have the whole of Esoteric's discography. Next up is Deathspell Omega - Fas, trying to keep up the level of quality.

I've been doing that combo, it's about as good as it gets iyam. You feel so fucking obliterated when Fas finishes haha. Do Earthless after Fas ;).
Ved Buens Ende- Written in Waters, then the new Skepticism. Oh and try Shape of Despair, Dolorian and Sahg for example. 2nding tchockys plug as well. Doom is quite good atm, but of Esoteric quality unfortunately that is a rare thing in doom let alone music in general imo. There are plenty of good contemporary doom bands, but Esoteric are the clear kings.

I will, I still haven't actually listened to the whole of the earthless record yet, I got stopped halfway through :( Will do soon though. Thanks for the plugs, will get on to downloading them. I didn't really expect to find another band of Esoteric's quality tbh, so I'm not suprised to hear they're the best. And they're from Britain!! *que surge of national pride*
