Chromed Stoner Doom (with teeth)

Southern Germany's St. Unholyness are here to ruin your holiday cheer, gloriously. Their debut album, Through High Holy Haze, drops on Christmas Day, because nothing says "season's greetings" like a slab of HM-2-drenched stoner doom that sounds like Electric Wizard jamming with Entombed. Written between 2017 and 2025, these eight tracks are a slow-burning, riff-heavy sermon on control, resilience, and the occasional bluesy detour into Nikola Tesla's frequency experiments.

CHRISTMAS DOOM ALERT

On October 25th, the duo, Christina Earlymorn (guitars/vocals) and Mac Carrigan (bass), unleash the title track's namesake single. It's a taster of what's to come: groove-laden doom, psychedelic drift, and those razor-sharp Swedish chainsaw guitar tones cutting through the haze. Earlymorn, who recorded, produced, and mastered the album herself, keeps the focus where it belongs: on the riffs and the roar.

TRACK BY TRACK: A DOOM SERMON

  • Heaven's Harem - Psychedelic nod to historical power structures
  • Through High Holy Haze - Lucifer as light-bringer, not villain
  • Dampflok des Todes - Momentum as metaphor for stumbling forward
  • Black Tooth Brothers - Tribute to Dimebag & Vinnie Paul
  • Hate Response - Middle finger to anti-trans scapegoating
  • Alchemist Blues - 10-minute blues-to-blasting epic
The album's themes are as varied as its sound. From historical power structures to Luciferian light-bringing, from tribute to political fury, St. Unholyness weave a tapestry that's as intellectually stimulating as it is sonically crushing. This isn't just another stoner doom record - it's thoughtful, heavy, and unafraid to switch gears between bluesy detours and HM-2 saturated crawls.

Through High Holy Haze isn't just another stoner doom record. It's thoughtful, heavy, and unafraid to switch gears, whether it's the 10-minute blues-to-blasting epic Alchemist Blues or the slow, HM-2-saturated crawl of the closing track. The only thing missing? A drummer for their live shows. (Hint, hint, drummers of the world.)



 

This album contains crushing doom riffs, political fury, and Christmas cheer destruction. May cause involuntary headbanging, existential contemplation, and sudden urges to question holiday traditions.
