{"product_id":"songs_for_satan","title":"Songs For Satan","description":"\u003cp\u003eSongs For Satan is Dopelord’s fifth full‑length album, released in October 2023 on Blues Funeral Recordings and widely hailed as a “critical mass” moment for the Warsaw, Poland stoner‑doom band. Across seven tracks and about 38 minutes—Intro, Night Of The Witch, The Chosen One, One Billion Skulls, Evil Spell, Worms, and Return To The Night Of The Witch—the record showcases their equal mastery of lumbering, fuzz‑heavy plod and eerily catchy hooks, wrapped in a sound that feels simultaneously rooted in ’70s doom and infused with warped, psychedelic modern heaviness. The lineup of Paweł Mioduchowski (guitars, vocals), Piotr Zin (bass, vocals, Mellotron), Grzegorz Pawłowski (guitars), and Piotr Ochociński (drums) tracked most of the album with Haldor Grunberg at Satanic Audio, with additional sessions in Warsaw studios Santa and Silent Scream, giving the record a dense but detailed mix where downtuned riffs and drum reverb loom like a fog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, Songs For Satan returns to the occult‑fueled energy of early Dopelord releases such as Magick Rites and Black Arts, Riff Worship \u0026amp; Weed Cult, but with more ferocious tone and tighter songwriting. Night Of The Witch stands as a landmark single, emerging from forest‑night ambience in the Intro with a massive, doom‑march groove and melody that later reappears—with Mellotron—on the epilogue Return To The Night Of The Witch, becoming a root theme for the album. The Chosen One and One Billion Skulls expand their gloomy psych‑rock side and complex grooves, Evil Spell functions as a maddeningly catchy “love song” to Satanic power, and Worms pushes into more extreme sludge, featuring a guest solo by Midnight guitarist Vanik. Lyrically, the record mines decades of oppression under Polish Catholicism and the country’s hard swing toward conservatism since the end of the Cold War, using Satanic praise and occult imagery as a political and spiritual act of defiance rather than mere shock tactics. Critics consistently describe Songs For Satan as one of 2023’s most accomplished doom\/stoner albums—a brilliantly outlandish release where anger and rebellion fuel towering riffs, spooky atmospheres, and memorable choruses that solidify Dopelord’s reputation as one of the genre’s most visionary “weedian” bands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Yellow\/Black Colourburst Edition Vinyl","offer_id":53699006628154,"sku":"39028","price":36.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-07_at_5.30.33_PM.jpeg?v=1783459937","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/songs_for_satan","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
