I listen to music using an ancient technology called "Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III" or "MP3" Fuck Spotify, here's the last 15 albums I bought on Bandcamp

Forgot to mention, this list is in no particular order. Ten fucking awesome EPs that deserve your Bandcamp dollars, euros, yen, or pound sterling. See the links for their genre tags. #metalsky First up: Locusts and Honey, 'Shadow of My End' hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shadow...

My Top 10 EPs/Demos of 2025. See the linked thread, check the Topsters for an at-a-glance look, and you can listen to all the artists listed on the playlist below #metalsky bandcamp.com/gdore/playli...

Quite a few albums I really liked on this list especially those from Oromet, Messa, Hell, Chat Pile and Sumac. 🎸 ⚡️

Big, orchestral Funeral Doom. Review of Oromet - The Sinking Isle. www.metalcrypt.com/pages/review...

9) Oromet - The Sinking Isle (funeral doom) "Epic" doesn't really do it justice. "Huge" doesn't either. This is a gargantuan record, and yet, even though it is slow, it feels hopeful. Such is Oromet's skill, they can make something that's typically so heavy feel uplifting.

Making my wife listen to funeral doom

Catching up on all my end-of-year funeral doom listening. Great vibes for when the cold snap hits

Profile: Funeral doom duo Oromet

My 30 favorite albums of 2025 + a bunch of honorable mentions

#20 Oromet - The Sinking Isle Funeral Doom There were some solid doom releases this year, and despite how late in the year it released, I really enjoyed Oromet's offering. Suffocatingly strong funeral doom will almost always grab my attention. I love an oppressive feeling in my music. #metalsky

My 2025 metal albums of the year! It's been a year packed with so many bands across many styles making great albums. Each of the top five will get their own post :) #metal #metalsky #musicsky

Albums I listened to the most in 2025 (Part III) In no specific order. Bianca - Bianca Oromet - The Sinking Isle Rå - Rå Evoken - Mendacium Qrixkuor - The Womb of the World Locusts and Honey - Shadow of My End

The Sinking Isle by Oromet (I was talking to @bcmerchant.bsky.social about this album and we agreed that it's actually really hard to do great doom metal, and this is great doom metal.)

Oromet, A Flock Named Murder, and @corridoreband.bsky.social include!

Witherer included! 🩵🩵

Oromet, "The Sinking Isle" @hypaethralrecords.com

Breaking Bluesky silence to say Ampwall has big things coming up: * ApplePay and GooglePay - they’ll become available for artists pages sell via PayPal business accounts * Mobile app for listeners - my current top priority, working well on iOS and Android, filling in some last stuff before release

I know people sometimes sleep on EPs But do not sleep on this Locusts and Honey release from @hypaethralrecords.com It's nasty, trudging black metalified doom metal (or doomified black metal?) Deeply engaging and focused. Really great stuff! locustsandhoney.ampwall.com/album/shadow...

If you enjoy heavy metal that doesn’t fit neatly into subgenres you’ll enjoy this sampler from @hypaethralrecords.com #metal #deathmetal #doommetal #blackmetal #blackenedhardcore listen.hypaethralrecords.com/album/non-om...

I can't stop at just 10 My top albums of the year continues No rankings. Just alphabetical. Mostly based on "what did I listen to most?", not what I think is "best" Links and credits in the thread below ⬇️

The easiest yearly Top 10 list I can think of is more about, "which albums did I listen to most?", not necessarily "which albums do I think are the best?". These are my 2025 comfort albums. The albums I just kept coming back to over and over and over and over and over again. Alphabetical order ⬇️

ARTIST: Oromet ALBUM: The Sinking Isle LABEL: @hypaethralrecords.com oromet.ampwall.com/album/the-si...

Lord almighty this is so pretty, can’t wait to spin it too @hypaethralrecords.com

giving this a listen finally locustsandhoney.bandcamp.com/album/shadow...

@hypaethralrecords.com y'all have the best doom this year

Pick up the new Locusts & Honey, Shadow of My End, from @hypaethralrecords.com Available digital and CD on @ampwall.com ⬇️ locustsandhoney.ampwall.com

Done! That was interesting. It's BlackMetal of the Doom-ish variety and big on atmosphere. It feels slow and dreary, but there is a drive behind this and cool details in the guitarwork, that make it very engaging. Really nice, quite frankly! Highly recommended!

Locusts & Honey dropped today (finally!). It DOES. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Been on repeat this morning; atmospheric post-black, heavy and crushing. @hypaethralrecords.com continues their winning streak. #metalsky listen.hypaethralrecords.com/album/shadow...

#NowPlaying I don't know the band or anything about them or their style, but their name is kind of... evocative? However, they release via @hypaethralrecords.com and that's a quality label. Therefore, I'm interested and reasonably exited! 😁 Going in! hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shadow...

9/10 review for Oromet 🥹

#Nowplaying listen.hypaethralrecords.com/album/the-si... Oromet - The Sinking Isle There's a lot going on here, sludge, doom, black metal, funeral doom. Only three tracks but they are LONG. This is really, utterly devastating, gorgeous, atmospheric and HEAVY AS FUCK. Go get it!

Ma playlist de ce week-end ! Ildaruni https://url.botteur.be/5b2s9X Oromet https://url.botteur.be/6ab2ca QRIXKUOR https://url.botteur.be/gGqPFf The Gloomy Radiance Of the Moon https://url.botteur.be/NqbQ5f #metalsky 🤘

This is getting some respectable hype. Funeral Doom with inevitable comparisons to Bell Witch and Mournful Congregation, but Oromet has more dirt in the mix that I find much more engaging. Lush beauty in dingy squalor. #metalsky oromet.bandcamp.com/album/the-si...

@spikeno10.bsky.social has #SoftSun while I take #Gazpacho GC has #GloriousDepravity while Cherie Curtis takes #Oromet musipediaofmetal.blogspot.com/2025/11/review… @transcendingobs.bsky.social

Man these guys are so good

#NowPlaying Here's another one, that folks have been speaking very highly of. Time to check it out for myself! ... Three tracks with a total runtime of 40+ minutes? This is DoomMetal, isn't it? Going in! ampwall.com/a/oromet/alb...
