Perhaps my Favourite Youtuber







                 


I'm by no means an avid gamer by any stretch of the imagination. I however do like a good Youtube video or two, and when I do watch Youtube videos I prefer Penguinz0 (Yes, I know what you're thinking. Wow what a terrible terrible Dos Equis reference).  Critikal the man behind the channel is a Youtube genius. His ridiculous and ludicrous catch phrases, and deadpan humour will surely get a laugh out of you. Heck, even if you don't enjoy video games, you can appreciate the humour that goes into each and one of his videos.

Oldd Wvrms

I'm not quite sure what it is about smaller European nations but they sure know how to churn out quality Doom metal tunes. Oldd Wvrms are no exception who are a Doom/Sludge quartet from Belgium. Like other solid Belgian acts ala Amenra, Pantheist, and Wijlen Wij just to name a few; Oldd Wvrms continue on with the with the tradition  of  playing gloomy doom. While their first release consists of only two songs, this quartet from Houffalize manages to capture the very essence of the raw nature of sludgy doom in a jam packed 16 minutes. The guitars are glum and filthy, and vocals are of piercing caterwauling like any good Sludge should be. While it is abrasive at times, it still pays tradition to old-school doom with heavy filled riffs at the helm of the driver seat. With releases of such quality as this, it's only a matter of time until Oldd Wvrms too are a household name in the Belgian doom scene.
