Doom Metal Alliance Sampler Volume 9 Review

DMA Sampler Vol.9 Download HERE

Lemme tell you, Ed is tearing shit up over at the DMA and at his other blog (Doomantia).
Great, on target reviews covering all branches of the Doom world from sludge to stoner to traditional and everything in between. They are on my weekly reading lists. In addition to the reviews and interviews they provide regular samplers for FREE download to introduce you to a lot of the bands that they cover.
The newest volume is the 9th installment. I would have to say it is probably my favorite of all of them. There is something for everyone on here. We have crushing death doom from Calliophis, Dark Covenant brings a more gothic influenced (vocally) side to the doom, Coffins Riders elicits visions of classic doom outfits like St Vitus and Solitude Aeturnus, and even some drone from the aptly named Wizardrone. This is going on the ipod so I can listen at work too. Definitely pick this up and check out the previous volumes as well. You are guaranteed to find a future favorite band on these comps.

Welcome...To Crestfallen

This is going to be the counterpart to my weekly radio show on www.brutalexistenceradio.com. It is called Crestfallen and is on every Friday from 7PM til Midnite EST. I play doom, sludge and stoner rock. I focus heavily on Traditional Doom but with 5 hours there is plenty of time to represent all styles. I loosely plan the show out each week but am happy to take requests either in advance or in real time and am happy to rearrange the playlist so that the listener gets the full experience. After all, I'm here to play the music for you. We have a chat room that runs all the time for all the shows. You can access it at chat.brutalexistenceradio.com or if you use an external irc client (there are several free ones available) you can join us on the server irc.rizon.net in #brutalexistenceradio.
You can find my myspace at myspace.com/crestfallenradio if you'd like to add yourself as a friend.
I'll also be posting reviews, random ramblings, show announcements, etc here as well. As long as it is Doom related it goes. Enjoy and welcome again to Crestfallen.
