Doom

No More Pain + Go Mad Yourself! e.p., 1986/1987 (1989 reissue) Complicated Mind, 1988 Killing Field + 4 tracks, 1988 Incompetent..., 1989 Human Noise, 1991 Illegal Soul, 1992 [LINK NOW REALLY FIXED] Where Your Life Lies, 1999 Corpsepaint-wearing Japanese music godsssss!!!!!!!!! In the upper crust of the Eternal Zer Top Ten, this heavenly place where reside such entities as Eisenvater, Bad Brains, Holy Terror and Victims Family (and Die You Bastard! and Rose Rose!), Doom have a big nice shining throne too. Each and every Doom release is a complete masterpiece from start to finish. Any description will fail to pay enough tribute to their greatness. Their discography starts with a with a heavy, nasty piece of thrash-metallic rock with GISM, Celtic Frost and Voïvod influences. From Complicated Mind on, you could hear Victims Family mixed with Holland's God playing voïvodish music with a touch of Coroner. It's twisted while maintaining absolute groove, thrash beats surface when they need to and the level of experimentation is so fucking well adjusted, it's perfect. The vocals are a bit like Tom Warrior and Snake full of THC arguing about the best way to stare at a goat. And the musicians are just masters, infinite supply of incredible guitars, beyond great drumming and some of the craziest bass lines in metal and rock history. Then let's mention the last album Where You Life Lies and its radical shift to highly saturated industrial metallic death that makes Ministry sound like the Shadows. I'm usually not very much into machine-sounding music, but THIS is AWESOME. It is impossible to say which album is the best, maybe Human Noise and No More Pain ? No, this is too reductive and the Church Of Zer makes it a sin not to inject very often all these discs in your audition canals. I can spend 12 minutes selecting which Doom album to play. I need six more brains. DOOM TIL ZERRRRRRRRRRR!R!!RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!R!R!R!R! !!RR! !RR !R!R!R!RR!R!R R!RR!!RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R!R!R !R!R!R!R! RR!R!!!!!!!!!!! R!R !R!R!
