The January Report Card Is In ...

Something amazing happened this month at Doommantia, not only did we past the last monthly record - we kill it.. Along with our usual updates on doom, stoner, sludge and drone we had a fairly busy month of interviews and reviews. In case you haven't been paying attention, we posted interviews with OCEAN CHIEF, BEATEN BACK TO PURE, PALLBEARER, REINO ERMITANO, RAMESSES, BLACK SLEEP OF KALI, SOURCE OF DEEP SHADOWS, COUGH, UNEARTHLY TRANCE, GIFTEGARD and had an inside look at the Dutch Doom Days festival with an interview with Pim from Officium Triste. There was many CD reviews as usual and most of those were great albums but hard to go past Wo Fat's "Noche del Chupacabra" for album of the month. The DMA Records store got into gear with downloads going up for grabs, I speak of Doomsower's Vintage Era, Ride The Sun's EP and Wizardrone's The Third Coming and just today the Ride The Sun EP CD will up for sale, the first DMA Records CD release. Already the response to that has been incredible and I thank everyone who has sent me emails and messages showing support for this great band. Getting past the 80,000 views for the month is another milestone for Doommantia but it wouldn't have gone anywhere if it wasn't for the writers, Aleks, Sandrijn, Mari, Mahesh, Adam and Dr.Doom Metal. Extra thanks goes out to Lee from The Sleeping Shaman who also has kindly allowed us to use some of the Shaman's outstanding interviews. Thanks to good friend Tony for tracking down just about any promo, demo, EP or full length album I ask or beg for. Thanks to the loyal readers who keep on coming back and I can tell from reading all the stats that most of you visit the site almost daily so thanks a million and of course to those of you who gave donations this month, you are the golden people and will never be forgotten. Thanks to the few people that join the Doommantia forum, we are not the most hipster forum going around but your contributions have been priceless. Thanks to Justin from Doomsower for making the glorious header you see above this post, the amp-head of doom. Cheers and bring on February.......Ed

PS: Thanks to Randy for his web-design advice, you didn't win awards for nothing ! Your help with the layout, fonts and general code bullcrap has been a huge help. Also the view count is not counting forum hits, it is only for the main Doommantia site.
