DOOMED & STONED IN COLORADO

2020 was a crazy year for the entire planet and often at times seemed bleak and uninspiring… but not so much in the realms of stoner and doom music. Musicians from all over the world took this time to hone their craft and find exciting ways of getting new music out to the masses and Colorado was no exception.

I was very excited to be asked to build this compilation from the ground up and also as a way of getting to know the bands a bit more personally. But I was soon faced with the horrors on social media that a lot of these bands had broken up or just haven’t posted anything in months. Something that I had waited to be part of for years seemed like it was going to slip by because of events out of anyone’s control and I was heartbroken to say the least.

Soon the word got around and bands started pouring in over the next couple months and things quickly began to take shape. We ended up with a total of fifty-five bands doing what they do best in the great mountains of Colorado. To honor such an occasion we had famous stoner/doom artist, Steve Yoyada create a one-of-kind cover to capture the raw power coming from this compilation to your eagerly awaiting ears!

Thank you to all the bands involved for their support and patience in getting this compilation out there. Thanks to Forbidden Place Records and Coffin and Bolt Records for their support. Huge thanks to Billy and all the crew at Doomed and Stoned for the love and support. Keep Dooming On!
