A step into the doom... Rise Above compiled this selection offering the perfect combiation between the retro-rock and the doom metal, presenting some stoner/doom masters as Electric Wizard, Acrimony and Orange Goblin together with some metal doom lords like Trouble, Pentagram, Paul Chain and, obviously, Cathedral. Edited in 1996.

Track list:


01. Orange Goblin - Saruman's Whish
02. Paul Chain - Sand Glass
03. Eyehategod - Shop Lift
04. Acrimony - Earthchild inferno
05. Pentagram - Sinister
06. Iron Man - Leaving Town
07. Mourn - Calm Before The Storm
08. Trouble - Victim Of The Insane
09. Solstice - Winter Moon Rapture
10. Electric Wizard- Return To The Sun Of Nothingness
11. Down - Bury Me In Smoke
12. Cathedral - Schizoid Puppeteer



This is the second volume of the unholy bible of doom!... as suggest the sticker on the package. The first volume is a step further into te doom and less connected with stoner rock.
