Lists
Samoht was clearly somewhat inspired by dark Americana and country inspired music looking at his albums of the year 2023 list featuring artists like Dorthia Cottrell, Osi and the Jupiter, Wayfarer and The Coffinshakers, but also massive albums by bands like Frozen Soul, Serpent’s Oath, SLOW, OAK, Smoulder and Bell Witch!
A mix of doom & gloom, Americana, AOR and death metal… you can’t say that Samoth sticks to one genre only!
Album Reviews
Far from Vikings and church burnings, these cowboys from hell continue their epic tales of the old west on Wayfarer’s fifth album ‘American Gothic’, out via Century Media and Profound Lore.

Stormkeep on their debut EP album offers a decent performance for both fans of melodic black metal and dungeon synth daydreamers.
Buy a ticket on the Iron Horse and see the frontier of the old west in all its violent glory before it finally vanishes for the ‘Hell on Wheels’ that is Wayfarer’s ‘A Romance with Violence’.
Wayfarer’s latest piece, ‘World’s Blood’ invokes images of the old Frontier tales from the Rocky Mountains through razor sharp USBM and dark Americana. Check out their third album and debut for Profound Lore and find yourself become a trapper exploring the wilds of the West.
Gig Reports
We crossed the Great Plains of the Old West in search of enlightenment, but instead ended up in orbit around Jupiter with a bunch of freaky Fins. No Peyote, just musical highs at Het Bos.
