STATE OF DOOM #13: NEW AND NEWER SOUNDS IN DOOM METAL
As spring decays, three albums rise to pull us back into the soil. Grief and the slow collapse of light – this is death-doom reduced to its essence.
– Thomas Gray, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1750-51)
Playlist Update 18.7.2025: Soliloquium; Morast; Veil Of Conspiracy
These are the albums we return to. Works that refuse to stay within the confines of music alone. The Boats of the Glen Carrig remains faithful to Hodgson’s novel and carries his ocean forward into another medium, letting its silence and strangeness take on new form.
Playlist Update: Deer Creek; On Thorns I Lay; Malokarpatan
Instead of describing Solaris in typical terms, we imagined it as a recovered journal from an astronaut adrift in deep space. This fictional narrative reflects the atmosphere of the music: disorienting, expansive, and alive with its own strange gravity. Consider this a descent into Voidsinker’s world, where sound becomes landscape, and memory dissolves into light.
This is where Doomnation Radio meets the world of poetry! In Elegy Fragments, we share carefully chosen lines from the great elegiac poets. These are not full texts, but excerpts that stand alone in their beauty and melancholy. To accompany each fragment, we pair a song whose soundscape reflects the atmosphere and emotional weight of the words. And together, they create a space where language and sound converge.
Playlist Update 4.7.2025: Draconian; Ad Cinerem; Solothus
With each shortening day, we draw closer to the hush of winter. The earth slows its breath, the noise of growth softens, and in that stillness, something else begins – something older, colder, heavier. Our season lies ahead… Until then, we wait. This special YouTube medley is our hymn to the waning light.
