Windhand - Soma (2013)

With their new album Soma (and debut full length with Relapse) Windhand is clearly becoming a new doom metal heavyweight. They have the heaviness, they have the melodies, they have the atmosphere (dark and smoke filled) but above all they have the ability to write good songs. Five excellent doomy heavy metal songs somewhere between recent Electric wizard and Black sabbath, plus one good acoustic song sounding no less doom than the rest. They could have edited the last part of the last song, but except that it's a flawless record. I also advise you to check the really good split they did with Cough as well as their first eponymous album.
