PINE TAR ~ Burial (2024)
Released in 2024, apparently with little fanfare and slipping under most radars by the look of it, 'Burial' is the debut release from Montreal's Pine Tar. Five tracks of mange ridden, gooey sludge doom with the added toxicity of death and black metal. Riffs of unbreachable power are staggeringly heavy, achieving near critical mass.
If I was aware of this record at the time it would surely have gained a place in my top releases of 2024 list.

KLASTOS ~ Born To Ruin (2025)
'Born To Ruin' the new album from Swedish band Klastos has us in its sights on February 14th and I can imagine the band quivering with anticipation at the thought of unchaining this sludgy powerhouse of an album and setting it loose upon us all.
From the opening track 'Poor Little Thing' which has a thick death metal crunch to it aligned with a groove to die for before culminating in the slow burning, doom leaning final track 'Fatigue Failure' Klastos has concocted a potent coagulate of hulking riffs containing more hooks than a Hellraiser movie and just as deadly, however, instead of being burdened under its own weight 'Born To Ruin' hemorrhages a slick doom/sludge sap.
