History in Five Songs Episode 329: American Doom in the ‘70s

In Episode 329 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin digs through the decade’s heavy underground to find traces of early U.S. doom metal—spotlighting bands like Sir Lord Baltimore, Blue Öyster Cult, and Kiss—while concluding that true doom wouldn’t fully take shape in America until years after Black Sabbath set the template.

1. Sir Lord Baltimore – “Kingdom Come”
2. Blue Oyster Cult – “This Ain’t the Summer of Love”
3. Kiss – “Strange Ways”
4. Aerosmith – “Nobody’s Fault”
5. Ted Nugent – “Venom Soup”
