Bongripper - Satan Worshipping Doom

Genre: Doom Metal

Origin: USA

Release Date: 2010

Label: Independent

This album is the essence of what Doom Metal has become. Influences come from all over the place, everything from the crushing tones of Sunn O))) to the classic vibes of Black Sabbath. As the band name suggests, this is best listened to after a slew of bong hits (for satan). The sound is reminiscent of the recent influx of Stoner/Doom bands yet feels refreshing and original.

The album artwork isn't the only awesome thing on this album. The guitar tone on Satan Worshipping Doom is crushing as Hell, the drums are slow and menacing yet not afraid to pick up the pace here and there, while the bass provides a nice bottom-end rumble to the whole package. There are no vocals on this psychedelic trip across the Styx, and therefore the focus of the album is on the crushing riffs and pounding drums. I cannot stress how massive these riffs are, this is a must-buy for any fan of the slower brands of Doom Metal.
