Happy Doomsgiving!
Nothing spreads holiday cheer quite like 4 hours of doom metal. The most unfortunate part about the holidays is the unshakable stench of Christmas music permeating the airwaves everywhere you go. It follows you like MSU relentlessly pursues you for donations the moment you stop paying tuition and there’s no avoiding it. The worst part is that everybody is in on it, like some sort of globalist conspiracy. Everytime I find myself in a pathetic husk of a place that loops Christmas music I immediately have the urge to wash it away that stain with some cold, depressing metal. This feeling is also analogous to when you’re at a frat party and all you hear is bro-music, but at least you know what you’re getting yourself into by going to a frat party. Doom was the medicine I needed tonight after the reminder that the holidays are upon us.
For the doom connoisseurs, I hope our playlist did the genre some justice. For those who are new to doom, I hope this playlist helped you discover a newfound love for doom. I didn’t appreciate doom until about 2 years ago. I listened to Electric Wizard from time to time but it wasn’t anything serious. It just felt too damn slow and boring and I couldn’t stand to listen to it for more than 30 minutes, or like 2 doom songs. It wasn’t until I went through this foray into doom metal that I started to love it. It’s weird because I didn’t do anything different, so I guess it’s true your tastes mellow out over time. Rattleheading Spaceman of middle school had no shot of appreciating doom. Plus I discovered it to be the perfect study companion. I couldn’t survive on the fumes from thrash metal or the emptiness of black metal alone. Doom metal’s a grower, and you really do just have to let it grow on you.
Speaking of Electric Wizard…
Wizard Bloody Wizard Rules
I don’t care what the haters say, I enjoyed Wizard Bloody Wizard. Is it a bit re-hashy? Yes. But there’s a lot to enjoy about it and damn are some of those riffs catchy.
