Massachusetts based Folk Doomsters Buzzard published the official full stream for their new album “Doom Folk” out on March 18, 2024 via Electric Desert Records. Stream the whole album through the YouTube player below:
What if Dylan listened to Sabbath and read Lovecraft? Buzzard combines the Heavy riffs of Doom, ironic storytelling of Folk, and dark themes of Weird Fiction, Horror, SF and social satire.
“Doom Folk” is populated by misanthropic witches, Stoner cockroaches, and dog-devouring aliens. Songs explore the evils of religion and the madness of mankind with pitch-black wit.
Christopher Thomas Elliott wrote, performed, and produced “Doom Folk” in his basement studio using electric and acoustic guitar, bass, hand drum, 6-string banjo, and rhymes scribbled on scraps of paper.
The songs draw on the pessimistic philosophy of Thomas Ligotti, the revenge yarns of “Tales from the Crypt,” the Metal of Electric Wizard and Candlemass, the irony of Bill Hicks and George Carlin, the narrative poetry of Greenwich Village troubadours, and the Satanic gospel blues of Zeal & Ardor.
