Endtime and Cosmic Reaper to Release Doom Sessions Vol. 7 Jan. 13
Bringing together Swedish cinephiles Endtime with North Carolinian psych-doom purveyors Cosmic Reaper, the latest installment of Heavy Psych Sounds‘ ongoing series, Doom Sessions Vol. 7, will see release on Jan. 13. I have no problem admitting that I’ve basically whiffed on this entire stretch of releases over the last two years, which has featured some awesome bands putting out some killer music. I’m sorry, I do my best, but there’s only so much capacity and it’s not like the label is lacking for other output, including from these bands, both of which have been covered in the last couple turns. I’m not gonna make excuses, I’m just one person. If I could write about more music, I would.
Maybe I’ll get to review this, maybe I won’t, but Endtime‘s Devo cover sounds right on, so if I can at least get that posted below, that’s something anyhow. Right? Desperately clinging to some kind of relevance amid a changing internet landscape and generational evolution of communication technology and band emergence? Sure. Right.
From the PR wire, while that’s still a thing:
Heavy Psych Sounds announce ‘Doom Sessions Vol. 7’ split EP with ENDTIME and COSMIC REAPER; stream debut single “Tunnel Of Life” now!
Heavy Psych Sounds Records announce the release of ‘Doom Sessions Vol.7’, the seventh chapter of their revered split series featuring Swedish nihilist doom unit ENDTIME and US stoner doom merchants COSMIC REAPER, to be released on January 13th. Listen to the first single with Endtime’s gloomy cover of DEVO’s “Tunnel Of Life” now!
Listen to Endtime doomy rendition of DEVO’s “Tunnel Of Life”
Says ENDTIME about the song: “This is the stuff that dreams are made of! The collective hard work of exposing nihilism and negativity to the masses has paid off. The fruits of our musical and televisionary labor will finally be available on Doom Sessions Vol. VII. We’re here to set the record straight by bringing you a cover of the legendary band DEVO and their track ‘Tunnel of life’. On this, we brought in Gottfrid Åhman from In Solitude, No Future, Invidious and Pågå on the Mellotron. Devo was right! Devo knew! All those crazy prophecies came true!”
Since their ignition in 2020, the ‘Doom Sessions’ series have been delivering steamroller after steamroller, packing together earth-shattering collaborations between the loudest stoner and doom acts of this world. From Conan to Bongzilla, Acid Mammoth, -(16)- and Grime, each ‘Doom Sessions’ EP presents previously unreleased tracks from both bands involved while being wrapped in a devilish artwork design by Branca Studio. ‘Doom Sessions Vol.7’ makes no exception, and the grim and unearthly synth-laden songs of Endtime match perfectly with the evil, slow and low spacey doom of Cosmic Reaper.
