Pedaltvchannel This compilation of bands is an absolute gem! The heavy doom vibes throughout are just incredible, with crushing riffs and deep atmospheres that really set the tone. It’s a must-listen for any doom fan looking for raw, powerful sound. Highly recommended!

about

The Doom/Stoner scene in Scotland exploded in the 2010s & became a loud & strong beast over the decade which followed.

Sadly the lockdown (which the nanny-state Scottish government extended far beyond the rest of the world) put the brakes on a lot of the musical movement, but the dedicated still remain. However, the momentum was lost & it's difficult to tell if it will ever get back to speed.

This is Scotland's 'doom', in general.

We often have the chance of something great, but never quite getting there.

It's no surprise that such melancholic or sorrowful comes from this country.

Just look at any of the history over the past millennium.

Crime, poverty & drugs (the bad kind) plague the country & bring it a terrible reputation (just read/watch Trainspotting) & on the other side there is beauty, creativity & hope. Kind compassionate people are in abundance & it's almost absurd that one country can be so innovative on a global scale. Just Google how much the Scottish people have invented, your jaw will drop.

Due to my location, my own experience can only really speak of Glasgow (& a little of Edinburgh) for the most part.

However the Highland cities definitely has a scene of volume enthusiasts & I have enjoyed the few times I have spent in these places, playing alongside the local bands.

In Glasgow, amongst the streets lined with intricate architecture & beautiful sculptures carved into the many walks, venues like The 13th Note, Ivory Blacks, & Nice & Sleazy became places to blanket ones self in loud fuzz, pounding drums & heavy bass.

Bannerman's in Edinburgh is another special place & there's definitely a spooky energy in this old building. Edinburgh is a cold city with a very old-world feel & aesthetic.

An amazing backdrop for the dirge & doom.

At these events there will always be a lingering smell of green & beer, surrounded by good natured eccentrics, & an indifference to any so-called authority.

We have quick & honest humour which non-scottish outsiders often mistake as 'aggressive', but this is not the case. We're a nation of warriors & have little patience for bullshit, or people thinking too highly of themselves.

The doomed of Scotland are much more punk rock than any cosplayer with a mohawk, & will show you respect, gratitude & love.
