Merlin - The Mortal (The Company)
Further down, in number 22 of the best albums of 2019, we nominate "The Mortal", the 5th(!) full length release from Kansas Doom Metal act "Merlin". Having not heard Merlin before last year's "The Wizard", which barely missed the top albums of 2018, I was blown away by these two albums which truly blend equal parts of Doom, space rock and stoner metal to craft a magical blend guiding the hapless listener to new dimensions of horror and wonder, while vocalist Jordan Knorr is exactly what the doctor ordered for those hot summer nights! Highlights of the latest record include the heavy "Mind Flayer", the trippy "Ashen Lake", as well as the labyrinthine mysteries of "Metamorphosis", but if you like what you're hearing also check out 2018's "The Wizard". Highly recommended for space wizards and space lizards!
