Even though the crust has taken a backseat (for now), the doom rolls on. I would like to first point out that my respect for the notorious Earache Records has gone up a bit due to their latest signing: doom powerhouse HOUR OF 13 from North Carolina. "Demons All Around Me" is a track to listen to. Wow.
At first glance, when you put "doom" and a southern state in the same breath, you will most likely get a trendy, bearded, "molasses"-style heavy band. With these guys, you don't get any of that. What you do get, however, is straight-up, traditional doom metal of the highest (er, lowest) order. One thing that interests me is that their first ever show was done at a doom festival in fucking Ireland of all places, and their second show will be this Saturday, October 16, at Brooklyn's Union Pool with the Gates of Slumber. If you're in the area, fucking be there.
