Various Artists - Marijuanaut Vol. I

Drug culture it seems, can give many spirits a good deal of great ideas. The italians of the webzine Doomabbestia,  with the help of their friends from The Smoking Goat Records, present us with the first volume of Marijuanaut, a compilation meant to gather all the best contemporary italian doom metal and heavy psych.

In two CDs, this compilation goes through the obscure realms of metal, be it doom, stoner of psych, you name it. They have the heavy in common, you'll hear.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the instrumentals that really got me hooked. Those musicians let themselves go with all the lyrical heaviness they have, to embroider the guttural nightmarish screams which the connoisseurs will enjoy in the proper way.
