Listen "2020 : THE YEAR IN DOOM METAL - In 40 Minutes"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to our series where we curate what we think are the best 40 minutes of music from an underrated band's career ... with headbangers and hard rockers in mind (ie. you won't be hearing many ballads!).
Basically, it's what we'd put on a single vinyl release (being limited to 20 minutes per side) if we were asked to put a Best Of record together to convince the uninitiated long haired miscreant that this band is worth checking out.
2020 was an amazing year for underground doom metal releases, so we here at The Mighty Decibel have curated a 40 minute set of the finest down, depressed and deprived music of that year for your listening enjoyment.
May your days be dreary!
