STATE OF DOOM #12: New and Newer Sounds in Doom Metal

A year in a STATE OF DOOM… and every journey begins somewhere.

To mark the 12th edition of State of Doom, our Spotify playlist series, we chose 10 featured artists from the past year’s playlists and selected the opening track from their featured albums. These are the first sounds that set the tone and pulled us into their worlds – and we believe they deserve to be celebrated as such. Some open with force, others with tension and slow burn, but all serve as invitations…

Twelve playlists behind us, another year ahead – From “Dissolved Exile” through “A Place for Demons”, and ending in “Rotten values”.

Indeed, it seems that now more than ever, we are in a constant state of doom.
