Critics hail Doomsday Profit’s debut as “a band to get truly excited about“
Following a strong critical response, Doomsday Profit’s debut album, In Idle Orbit, was ranked No. 19 for the month of November by Doom Charts‘ panel of critics. Writer Shasta Beast praised the album, saying:
“Making good on the promise of their 2020 demo, Raleigh, NC’s DOOMSDAY PROFIT usher forth the end times on their debut “In Idle Orbit“. This is plodding, grueling sludge, moving at a doomy pace with psych flourishes and gravelly vocals. Crush and nod is the name of the game, and these guys are naturals.”
Shasta Beast, Doom Charts

“Doomsday Profit have a bit more up their sleeve these days, building up guff enough for a self-released full-length here in late 2021, pouring themselves over these six sludge and acid rock influenced pieces serving some gloomy, grim stuff here on ‘In Idle Orbit’. “
