Doom Charts for 12/19/12

Necronomicon takes the number 1 spot with "The Queen of Death" and a couple of older songs make huge gains.  Gandhi's Gunn's "Haywire" climbs from 14 to 7, while Dwellers' "Blackbird" leaps into the charts at number 12.  We say goodbye to a couple Irish releases with last week's number 1, Sticky Digit's "Crazy" and Engines of Ruin's "Corporate Blues".  Also to go are "The Ice Mammoth" by Blue Aside, "Levantado (demo)" by The Heavy Eyes and "The Lost Art of Bong Rips" by Goat Bong.  Their places are taken by the aforementioned Dwellers along with, "The Tribe of the Cosmic Crow Giant" by Spectral Haze, "The Curse Is a Lie" by Down, "elf" by Mount Fuji and "Rock'n'rollin Maailma" by Seremonia.  Way back when the Doom Charts featured a mere 20 songs, actually sitting down and going through the playlist took about an hour and a half.  It took well over two hours to sit down and go through over 25 songs to do the charts today.  It just speaks to the sheer volumes of terrific music being released constantly in this incredible genre of music by these incredible musicians.
