The heavy underground delivered some bangers in week two of June. French rockers Birdstone dropped one of the most intriguing albums of the year so far, a captivating blend of heavy blues and progressive psychedelic that will certainly lure you back for more. North Carolina duo Stonekind return with their sophomore LP, a fuzzy, bluesy, grunge-laden beast. Recorded at the same time as 2023’s Solace, REZN‘s latest, Burden is a moody, powerful, and hypnotic must-listen. Looking for some fresh psychedelic doom? Belgium-based Absynth deserve your attention. Or, you can get absolutely demolished by the new Crypt Sermon. Doomed heavy metal of the highest order. Finally, if you’re not yet on the one-man-doom-project train, get on board with the latest fuzzy heaviness from Paris-based Dunerider.
