Lowen - Do Not Go To War With The Demons of Mazandaran Church Road Records ~ Progressive Doom Metal

Do Not Go To War With The Demons Of Mazandaran is one of the most metal album titles you'll see this year. Dire warnings, demonology, striking statements? This is the good stuff! Why not start the Halloween festivities early this year with some HaLowen. ;)

Ataraxie - Le Declín Ardua Music ~ Funeral Doom

Extreme metal can take many forms. But in this time of ours where acts try to out-Flanderize each other — essentially extremity fitting into the mold of extremity to be extreme — there is less and less that can actually be considered extreme. Ataraxie present their vision of funeral doom as a no-frills, heavily death metal inspired affair. It may be slow, but will it rush to the top of you doom metal essentials?
