Description
Small party winding down, lights low, conversation thinning to nods; this is when Metal Fingers’ Special Herbs (Vols 5&6) earns its keep. DOOM’s producer alias curates a mid-series batch of instrumentals that feel hand-spliced and lived-in, all titled after botanicals you might half-recognise. Pennyroyal shuffles with a staggered hi-hat and a bass move that tucks just under the sample, while White Willow Bark ghost-walks on strings and a dry, thudding kick. The flow from piece to piece is quietly hypnotic, closer to a late-night beat tape than a mere collection.
Pressed as a 2LP Apple Red edition, the low end sits deeper and there’s a touch more space around those dusty chops, so small details poke through without harshness. It files neatly beside Madlib’s early-2000s experiments, but DOOM’s palette leans darker and more cartoon-noir, with loops that feel carved rather than smoothed.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Metal Fingers records online with us.
For longtime fans, this is a satisfying, self-contained chapter of the Herbs saga; for new heads, it’s a clear view of how DOOM built worlds without verses. The color pressing looks the part on a shelf and rewards proper volume on decent speakers. Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
