Deutschland's Doomed Volume 1

This is a massive download at 715Mb, but it's 60 tracks of quality underground German doom. Doom Metal Front is an online German magazine reporting on the German doom scene, along with all your favourite international doom bands. Or at least I assume it is, but my German's not really good enough to understand much of the content. Anyways, they released their second issue as a PDF download bundled with this massive compilation. There are far too many bands to go into any in detail, but if you're into doom there are bound to be at least a few tracks you'll like on here. Features the following bands:

Arktika, B.abuse, Bad Luck Rides On Wheels, Beehoover, Black Autumn, Black Mood, Black Shape Of Nexus, BLCKWVS, Calliophis, Carambolage, Celestial Navigator, Crowskin, Distant, Doom Division, Doomshine, Down On Knees I´m Weak, Dreaming, Dust, Earth Flight, Enojado, Extorian, GeminiOne, Golden Gorilla, Grief Of God, Head Of The Taurus, Hellamor, Hen:ge, Hiam, Holy Hydra, I The Unlord, Kodiak, Laube, Mills of God, Mirror of Deception, Mountain Witch, No Hope, Onde Sphérique , Ophis, PainForged, Petrified, Radare, Seamount, Sinistra, Slob, Sonic Booze Machine, Spancer, Spirit Descent, Tephra, The Last Supper, Tortured Spirit, Union Of Sleep, Versus The Stillborn-Minded, Voltron, Voodooshock, Wall, Warped Cross, Whalerider, Wheel, Wight, Woburn House

Doom Metal Alliance Sampler Volume 9

The Doom Metal Alliance is a Myspace page dedicated to all things doom related. There is also a related blog, Doommantia, which features reviews of the latest doom releases (these can also be found on the DMA Myspace Blog) and their player features tracks from various underground doom bands. So if you like doom and want to discover some new doom bands then head on over there.

They also do a series of compilations called the Doom Metal Alliance Samplers. The latest in this series, Volume 9, is the first one to come to my attention and is certainly a fine specimen! It features plenty of slow, doomy heaviness so go download it! Tacklisting as follows:

FDISK - Connection Reset By Satan

As any regular readers will know, I'm rather into my nerdcore hip-hop due to my love of hip-hop and unashamed geekery. Anyways, for a long time I've toyed with the idea of starting a nerdcore metal band. Well, it seems that FDISK have rather beaten me to it! As one might guess from the name (well, if one was nerdy enough), they're a computer geekery inspired thrash metal band from LA. I think they must have added my band Funeral Hag on Myspazz over the weekend when I was sick and ignoring the internets as they appeared in our friends list, and of course I couldn't resist checking them out! The tunes aren't bad and the lyrics are most amusing, though the demo is a little unpolished. Definitely worth checking out though, especially if you, like me, are of a somewhat geeky pursuasion.
