Find more here.

Free: Lo-Ruhamah

Download the two albums by Lo-Ruhamah for free (name your price) on Bandcamp.

They didn't consider themselves a Christian band, but I disagree.  They taught me to enjoy black metal.  I really wish they were still making music.

Sacrificium

Listen to two albums by Sacrificium here. You can't buy them there, but perhaps like me, you like to listen to things before you buy.

Megiddon

Get several free tracks by Megiddon here. Some of these tracks are in addition to the two free albums that I mentioned here.

Listen to their first two demos here.

Quest for Serenity

Download 12 free tracks from Quest for Serenity: two from each of six albums on Last.fm. Buy digital copies of their albums here, or physical copies here.

Grave Declaration

Get a couple of tracks by Grave Declaration here.

Sky Burns Black Downloads

Yesterday, I mentioned the band Flukt on Sky Burns Black Records. In addition to their web store, they also have two Bandcamp pages.  One page has albums for purchase (mainly). The other has free albums (name your price). They have begun adding albums that are available free in other places, such as Last.fm or other Bandcamp pages.  Recent additions include two albums by Elgibbor, one by Blood Covenant, and three by Armath Sargon. They also have Megiddon (two), Swine Suicide (two), The Synics Awakening, and many others.

Flukt

Norwegian black metal mongers Flukt released their album in physical and digital formats through Sky Burns Black records a few weeks ago.  Here are a couple of tracks to download to get a taste.

Nokternal Hemizphear and SneeuwStorm Produkties on Bandcamp

You can buy digital releases of artists on Nokternal Hemizphear's roster from Soundmass Downloads, CD Baby, Amazon, and eMusic. Now you can also buy many hard to find albums from the defunct label SneeuwStorm Produkties from their Bandcamp Page. Physical copies of some of those albums can be found at Metal Helm.

As they explain, many of those releases weren't considered Christian, but had Christian artists involved in them.

Skald - in veum

In anticipation of the upcoming release by Skald - in veum, you can download the track "Inferno" from Noisetrade.

Freegal Music Friday - Doom Edition #2

Fifth edition of Freegal Music Friday - Doooooom Edition #2!

The doom continues until March 15!

Here are some doom releases that can be downloaded for free through Freegal Music. (Don't know what Freegal Music is? See this post.)

Goliath "The Gate"

The re-release of the album called "Goliath Rocks" is also on the site and has two tracks missing from "The Gate."

Two tracks by Pÿlon from the "Doom All Over the World" compilation: "Ride the Pale Horse" and "Cannibal Coronal Mass Ejection"

Two albums by Trouble*: "Psalm 9," "Run to the Light," and one track: "Memory's Garden" from "Manic Frustration."

*I don't suppose they're really Christian, but they often get lumped in with Christian metal.

A doom metal round up

Since we're celebrating all things doom until the 15th, here are places to get your fix.

Victor Griffin's In-Graved digital or physical.

Four digital releases by Nomad Son here.

While you're waiting for the new Dalit release, you can check out the previous one.

Month in review

Pausing to take stock of the first month here:

40 or so free and legal albums
+ access to more than 100 more
+ a few sales and promotions
+ other places to find music here and there

Not a bad start!

Paramaecium (and more)

Physical copies of Paramaecium's albums will cost you. There are a few good places to obtain electronic copies, such as Amazon, Google Play, and eMusic.  However, here's an interesting one: you can get three of their albums from Guideline Records' Bandcamp.

They have many things there, including rarities by Schaliach and Groms!

A few more days to bring doom to an end.

Free: Evangelist

Two albums and one track by Polish doom band Evangelist are available for free on Bandcamp.

The doooooom continues!

Within the Torn Apart

For now, the doom continues. It will mysteriously and irrationally end on March 15!

Find two albums by Within the Torn Apart on Bandcamp.

Find more Within the Torn Apart here and here.

A free copy of their first demo is here.

More free albums from WTTA and related projects here.

Freegal Music Friday: Place of Skulls

Fourth edition of Freegal Music Friday - Doooooom Edition!

The doom continues until March 15!

Two releases by Place of Skulls can be downloaded for free through Freegal Music. (Don't know what Freegal Music is? See this post.)

1. "As a Dog Returns"

2. "With Vision"

Note: Freegal Music mistakenly lists the band name as Place of Skull for this one.

You can also download some other tracks on the band's website.

Free: Barabbas (Germany)

Get the instrumental funeral doom album "Golgotha" from Barabbas for free on Last.fm.

No relation.

This is the Barabbas from Germany, not the one from France. I'm not exactly sure what their deal is (the one from France, that is).

The doom continues!

Free: Cloth EP

It's all doom until March 15th!

Download a free EP by Cloth titled "By Jury of Peers" here.

Cloth features members of Dalit and Stronghold.

Free: My Silent Wake

From now until March 15th, doooooom!

Four free albums by My Silent Wake on their Bandcamp.

1. Silver Under Moonlight
2. Preservation, Restoration, Reconstruction
3. The Last Man EP
4. Acoustic Collection

And one unreleased mix of the song "Father."

More releases can be purchased here and here.

They don't consider themselves a Christian band now, if they ever did. Last I saw, Ian Arkley considers himself an agnostic.

Free: Agonal

From now until March 15, it'll be dooooom!

First up: get three free albums from Agonal on their Facebook page.

Other tracks can be found at Reverbnation and tracks from a new album in their Facebook timeline.
