On normal days i have always the same or a similar bunch of CDs in my car. It’s the same procedure as every year. But I felt before weeks that my musical taste starts to change a bit again, but I didn’t realize in which direction it will lead me. But this morning I opened my CD-Box and grepped exactly one CD without thinking about it. It was CANDLEMASS – ANCIENT DREAMS, a CD which I didn’t listen to for ages. I turned on my car station and I was impressed again by the power of that record. I love it and couldn’t stop singing all the tracks with the Messiah.

After celebrating this wonderful piece of Doom Metal, I tought about what happened; in fact, I listened to a promising Band called AHAB before a few months, know the guys of OPHIS and like the releases of BARBARIAN WRATH (just heard the mp3s, but they must be good after that)- which are very oldschool doom stuff, I daresay. Much people told me that they like lots of doom stuff.

What does this mean? I think after the return of Thrash Metal a second return has started. It’s Doom Metal. The underground seems to know, lot’s of people i respect for their taste have started to find more and more Doom Metal Bands on MySpace. Maybe it will not be so explosive like the Thrash Metal revival, but Doom Metal is far from beeing dead- and that’s good news, for me!

I am excited about hearing the full albums of UPWARDS AN ENDTIME and the others. There are also lots of other bands i have to check out; so if you want to get rid of your doom stuff, drop me some lines.
