How famous can a musician become and still seem like he isn’t? How much musical precedent must exist — how many artists like you, coming before you — before an artist’s ascent is no longer “unlikely”? These are the questions Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide had me asking.

Brought to us by the excellent 2 Promoters, 1 Pod podcast, tonight’s show promises to be something special.

New York trio Mama Doom are perhaps most notable for their guitar-free retro doom, but as you’ll hear for yourself in the band’s new video for “Woven Linen,” there’s no lack of thunder and heaviness. Fair warning for those viewing said video at work or, I dunno, on an airplane, there is some brief female (topless) nudity and a whole lotta fake blood and gore. The video was created by Gratuitous Productions and features the trio—D.Lolli (vocals/keys), Chuckie Rumbles (bass), Anne Terror (drums)—performing while blindfolded by (presumably) woven linen. Intermingled, are all sorts of bloody, witchy, occultic scenes. Musically the track is a rumbling dollop of tasty retro doom, with Lolli’s soulful, bewitching vocals propelled by the tight punchy rhythm section and brief synth flourishes. “Woven Linen” is the latest single from the band’s upcoming Eminent Womb full-length.

Emminent Womb is set for release in 2026 via Argonauta Records. Check MD’s Bandcamp page for details here.

The band offers this about the song and video:

“’Woven Linen’ confronts the weight of religious oppression and reclaims where true power resides—with the Mother, the source of all life. Bringing this vision to life was a collaborative effort and we were proud to welcome four incredible women into the Gratuitous Productions family. Grave Dave created an amazing set with white witchy masks, a skeletal Saint Barbara, and Homer the stuffed goat, while Anne painstakingly stitched together a blood-soaked visual homage inspired by Suspiria.”
