The latest of Doomed & Stoned‘s critically acclaimed series documenting the explosion of doom metal & stoner rock around the world takes us on a journey through the lowlands and highlands of Scotland!
The country’s Gaelic name is Alba (pronounced “Al-eh-ba”) and it’s worth noting the ancient tribe that settled it were called Caledonians – an old word that means “hard” or “tough.” You can hear that age-old rough ‘n tumble spirit reflected in the rock and metal of Scotland, especially, which we aim to explore in Vol. 35 of the compilation set, out now as a free download on Bandcamp.
