Metal
Self-released · 9 November 2026
“Live at Delta Doom” is the first live album from Acromancer, the Kentucky trio who put it out on their Bandcamp on 9 November. According to the page’s note, it captures the band’s set at Delta Doom Fest 2026 in Memphis, Tennessee. It runs to seven tracks and about 36 and a half minutes: six live pieces — “Empires”, “Blood Lily”, “Cosmic Well”, “Nameless One”, “Aboleth” and “The Influence” — with a 45-second “Intermission” in the middle.
The line-up is Stephen Maynard on guitar and vocals, Chris Mullins on bass and Jonathan Watson on drums. The credits list Joshua “Jay” McKemey as tracking engineer, with Maynard himself handling the mixing and mastering.
Before this live album, the trio’s only release on Bandcamp was “Acromancer”, the self-titled debut that came out on 30 June 2023: five tracks written and recorded by the band, mixed and mastered by Jason Groves at Snack Attack Studios in Lexington, with guitarist Pete “RiffMonkey” Humphries guesting on “Luminary”. The live set revisits two songs from that record, “Cosmic Well” and “The Influence”; the other four pieces weren’t on it. On the debut’s page, the band describe themselves as “heavy, fuzzy stoner/psych/doom from Kentucky”.
