Summoner - Day Of Doom Live - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Domkraft annihilating onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Stockholm trio Domkraft bonded over a love of Spacemen 3, Monster Magnet, Sleep and Hawkwind. Drawing from the heaviest of their combined influences, they've crafted a sound that blends towering dirges, mindbending psychedelia and hypnotic minimalism, embodied on their monolithic 2016 debut The End of Electricity and 2018 follow-up Flood. Day of Doom Live presents Domkraft delivering what Metal Hammer called, Incha sustained torrent of viscous, bubbling sludge that achieves acute psychedelia through distortion and repetitionInch via a tremendous live record, just ahead of new album Seeds (coming in 2021).

Boston band (formerly Riff Cannon and The Summoner's) bring stoner rock/doom/cosmic psych to the party. Performing at 2017 Psycho Las Vegas. The style on the six songs of Beyond the Realms of Light holds true to the bands mentioned above at times sludgy with hints of progressive psychedelia, at other times running rousing jaunts through the annals of NWOBHM. The title track is a slow burner of a sludge tune, grinding to a halt after nearly eight minutes of thick riffs mixed with enough changeups to keep it interesting, while InchThe EmptinessInch is a fist-pumping anthem that again harkens back to the glory days of melodic guitar work. These two possibly disparate styles actually work well together, although this could be in part due to the fact that Summoner have wisely kept Beyond the Realm of Light to a svelte 34 minutes.

Magnetic Eye Records presents a blistering live document of flagship MER band Horsehunter destroying onstage at the Day of Doom tag showcase at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar. This once-in-a-lifetime gathering was held in November 2019 to celebrate the tag's first decade. It featured nine roster acts performing back-to-back, with the four headline sets captured live by Chris Johnson (Deafheaven, Summoner) to commemorate the event as a set of exclusive live albums. Horsehunter's furious, multi-movement sludge separates them from a world of bands content to simply pummel, as they range from soft and sinister to unbound aggression half a dozen times in the course of a single song. The Australian band's 2015 album Caged in Flesh and self-titled 2019 follow-up present monumental, carefully-constructed epics that may as well have been created to carry fans of Sleep and Neurosis blissfully to Valhalla. Day of Doom Live presents the foursome delivering music The Obelisk simply calls, Inchbrutal as S**t,Inch in a live setting, burning down the metaphorical stage and branding those who hear it with the mark of true enlightenment.
