Your Ripple Music Newsletter: The Ghost Next Door, Witchers Creed, Black Lung and More!




We had a feeling that lots of folks were just waiting for something a little different.  Based on the explosive reaction to our latest release of A Feast for the Sixty Sense by The Ghost Next Door, it would appear we were right.  The Angry Metal Guy raves, "Fans of progressively-tinged stoner doom will find much to love, as will those of us craving sweet guitar tones and outstanding solos." and Indy Metal Vault declares that A Feast for the Sixth Sense is "Strongly recommended to those who crave doom, looking for something that stands out with a little extra spice."   And now it's here for you to check out.  Limited Edition vinyl, black vinyl and a few test presses remain at the Ripple Webstore, as do CD's and of course digital on our bandcamp and all digital platforms.  Check out something eerie, progressive, and a touch different next time you need a fix of doom.
While we're talking about doom, this album is really bubbling in the underground. Witchers Creed are a young band from Sweden who bring a fresh eye to their doom, bringing in raw production and more than a taste of the NWOBHM to their pulverizing riffs.  Mastered by Tony Reed (Mos Generator/Stone Axe) and due for release Feb 22, the album brims with confidence and malice. " Witchers Creed are a band who truly understand doom metal in a world with a ton of pretenders. It's rare for a young band to have this level of clarity of vision and deliver with such professionalism. Yet here we are with a record that is Tony Reed mastered and recorded at the legendary Sunlight Studio, the cradle of Swedish Death Metal. Unbelievably heavy and a testament to all that doom has been and what it can be, it's hard not to get goosebumps when you dig through the mountain of sound that is Awakened From The Tomb..."

Next up is this magna opus of raw doom from ex-members of The Flying Eyes.  Black Lung bristles with the aspects that made The Flying Eyes so amazing, killer melodies, playing and hooks, but added in is an extra darkness of heavy doom with thunderous riffs that have a feral urgency to them and Impassioned vocals and soaring solos.  Stoner HiVe is already preparing for the album to figure into their best of the year end lists.  Pre-orders are open now for all versions of vinyl, cd, and pre-order the digital at the Ripple Music bandcamp  "Black Lung had become my drug of choice and their album Ancients a contender for my end of year list."
