Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[RetiredAt21]

Jeez, post about a band that isn't Ahab and look what happens to this thread! :p

http://www.myspace.com/thezoroaster

Check them out if you don't listen to them already.

[Elliptical Ion]

Bongzilla and Bongripper are two of my favorite stoner metal bands. Bongripper is more stoner instrumental though.

[RetiredAt21]

March Into The Sea is one of my favorites.

[pate]

Bongzilla and Bongripper are two of my favorite stoner metal bands. Bongripper is more stoner instrumental though.

Bongzilla is excellent.

[RetiredAt21]

I've never listened to Bongzilla. Do they sound similar to any other band?

[Iron Bars]

Their bassplayer is in Weedeater where he does vocals but I never checked out Bongzilla (which I should because of the cool name alone).

[Phototropic]

Bongzilla are a mixed bag

great grooves and riffs, useless vocals

[the2stranger]

I really enjoy Bongzilla as well as the vocals.
They fit the atmospthere really well, somehow.

I should get more Bongzilla.

np: Lair Of The Minotaur - Behead The Gorgon
\m/

[pate]

I've never listened to Bongzilla. Do they sound similar to any other band?

I guess the closest comparison would be to Electric Wizard, but even more fuzzed out.

[the2stranger]

I must say as much as I love EW, I like the production on Bongzilla better.
Cause the fuzzed-ness on EW can sometimes get in the way of the actual music.

Still both bands are as cool as the bees knees. :cool:

[RetiredAt21]

I guess the closest comparison would be to Electric Wizard, but even more fuzzed out.

I love Electric Wizard, so I guess I'll check these guys out.

[the2stranger]

The blues influence is more appearant with Bongzilla, so that's pretty cool. :cool:

[Elliptical Ion]

The only two albums I have from them are Amerijuancan and Gateway. I'd love to get hold of Stash, Apogee and their '98 EP.

[the2stranger]

Out of the two you have, which one is your favorite?

[Elliptical Ion]

Amerijuanican by far. Not sure why, though.

[pate]

I have those too also, and my favorite is also Amerijuanican.

[RetiredAt21]

Checked them out and I thought they were pretty cool. I'm also high as hell, so that helps.

:smoke:

[the2stranger]

Hahaha,
I've never been high whilst listening to Stoner.
Still it's always good and a nice beer fits the music just as well..
That reminds me, I'm gonna grab one right now. ;)

I'm playing Saturnus - Veronika Decides To Die now.
Great album.
Nice doom/death, with a MDB influence, still quite original because of the spacey sometimes even Floyd like guitarwork.

[Poofy 666]

Stonesphere is cool to listen to at about 2 AM

[Shattered_Future]

12 minute song with just 1 word in it. :thumb:

I recommend everyone check out Bongripper. I can upload Hippie Killer if anyones interested.

I was just listening to Souls at Zero. When is the new Neurosis going to be released anyway?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

This thread has gotten kinda boring lately. :(
yeah I definitely feel that way.

[RetiredAt21]

I need to check out some new bands.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah I haven't checked out any Doom in ages.

[Shattered_Future]

I've been preoccupied with MDB's new album at the moment.

[pate]

My love for Solitude Aeturnus has grown exponentially. I cannot wait for April 20th to roll around, because I'll be seeing them.

I love MDB's new one.

[RetiredAt21]

Did any of you guys listen to March Into The Sea when I posted the link to their myspace?

[Shattered_Future]

I have to say, no. I try to avoid myspace as much as possible.

March Into The Sea rules, though. So you should definitely check them out.

Hi.

I enjoy Pelican. A lot.

Moho are so ****ing good! I can't stop listening to them.

I know man, it's really good stuff. coche fúnebre kicks so much ***. I recently got another album by them and it's as amazing as ...he visto la cruz al revés!

listen to Bad Vision and Electric MachineJust to let you know about that local music thing I mentioned ages ago, it didn't really turn out like planned. The magazine still has little bits written about Suns of Thunder and Bomb the Sun but it's mainly concentrated on other styles of music. There is an associated gig at Cardiff union on the 18th of March which Sun of Thunder are playing amongst some other cool bands (but none of them are really stoner or anything).

[Anglachel]

My love for Solitude Aeturnus has grown exponentially. I cannot wait for April 20th to roll around, because I'll be seeing them.

A show on 4/20 eh?

I like the raw production, it gives it atmosphere imo. Same with the vocals. But yeah, this band is mad crushing.

Any fans of Abominable Iron Sloth?

[Iron Bars]

I checked out their album last week and I thought it was pretty good.

[Hardhat]

Anyone listen to Estatic Fear? They are GREAT, not strictly Doom, but great, great band that incorporated gothic and medieval elements too.

Also, they play the lute.

Here's a song:

http://media.putfile.com/Chapter-V

[the2stranger]

Any fans of Abominable Iron Sloth?

I also enjoyed last weeks upload of them.

[Cocaine]

Goat Horn = Awesome. Anyone else like them? They're a traditional Doom band from Ontario, it's really solid stuff.

[Bartender]

Goat Horn are great, been hooked ever since I saw the video for "Rotten Roll". Still haven't actually bought Storming the Gates though.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, I just have it downloaded. I've been looking for it at some local used CD places but it hasn't turned up just yet. Some of the vocals are a little weird, but damn, the CD is so solid.

[Bartender]

Yeah, there are a couple of moments where he tries to go all Halford and fails badly, but I don't really care.

[Cocaine]

Storm In is pretty cool, too. The speedy approach is cool and they pull it off really well. Sadly the song is only 28 seconds long, hah. The Last Force is a little bit up-tempo, but not in the same respect.

When I mentioned the vocals, I just meant they sound a little...I don't want to say poppy, but the ultra-clean vocals seem to stick out behind all the distortion and whatnot.

[Bartender]

Oh, fair enough. I don't mind the vocals all that much in that respect, but there are a couple of horribly failed squealy/shrieky moments that make me wince. Reminds me The Chasm.

[Cocaine]

Yeah, but coincidentally enough, the Chasm is also amazing.

[RetiredAt21]

Goat Horn = Awesome. Anyone else like them? They're a traditional Doom band from Ontario, it's really solid stuff.

Awesome band.

[Poofy 666]

Is Weedeater worth checking out?

I love The Chasm <3

Weedeater is awesome.
Well worth your time!

...And Justice For Y'all... is a great album!

[Poofy 666]

Awsome. I'm gonna see if I can go see Boris and Weedeater this week then.

[Elliptical Ion]

Anyone like Sleep? Dopesmoker is such an amazing album.

[ATM]

Of course. Holy Mountain is badass, too.

[the2stranger]

Enjoy that gig Alex, sounds like a great line-up.

And Sleep is great indeed.
Dopesmoker remains my favorite.
Awesome song that ever get boring, even though it's so repetitive.

[Iron Bars]

I found Jerusalem in a cd shop not to long ago. Bought it without a second thought and it wasn't a disapointment. The repetitiveness is just relaxing and just when it starts to gets boring Pike blasts in with some weird guitar solo.

Anyone listen to OM btw?

[ATM]

Someone uploaded some to the DU awhile ago and I enjoyed it.

[RetiredAt21]

Sleep is mad good.

[the2stranger]

OM, is pretty excellent, very relaxing as well.
I have both releases, must listen to them more actually.

np: Jesu - Your Path To Divinity
(great band \m/)

[Iron Bars]

I uploaded Birds of Conference for the DU. I love that album. Cisneros is a great bassplayer and vocalist. The way he makes the bass flow is absolutly amazing.

[the2stranger]

I agree, not many people can play the bass as an instrument on its own.
A lot of people can play bass and a lot of people can play it wel. But to make the bassguitar as worthy instrument on its own, that requires some skill.

np: Marzuraan - Punch The Goat
(great black-ish drone)

[AlienEater]

OM is good

50€
For 2 albums.

Female fronted doom? I don't think a chick can do the right kind of vocals for doom.

I can't remember what band it was, but I heard a female-fronted doom band on Myspace once, and it sounded pretty sweet. I'll try to find the page again and link you.

edit: I think this is it. I want to say that this is the former band of an mxer or something along those lines.

what kinda music is it?! i dont wanna waste your time by saying i'll get it haha

[Jondur]

ah crap, what happened man?!

I had a baby. Well, not me personally obviously, but my wife (well ex-wife now) had a baby and we moved back up north to be closer to family.

I just noticed you're in North Wales, whereabouts? I was in Bangor last week on a nostalgia trip (I went to University there), I love that place, wandered along the sea front in Beaumaris, went to the record shop in Bangor, had a drink in some of my student haunts and generally remembered some good times.

[NemesisDivina]

You guys ever listened to Krux?
Now that's some quality doom metal

[Iron Bars]

Krux was my first doom band. Mats Levins on vocals is always great.

[Jondur]

Krux are ok. Not great but good.

Anyone in the UK should be getting pretty excited about this tour:

WARNING/AGAINST NATURE/CHURCH OF MISERY/THE RIVER

Due to hit these shores in October.

Only UK or also the rest of europe?

[pate]

Krux are ok. Not great but good.


I agree. Though I do think Krux II is better than Krux I.

[Jondur]

Only UK or also the rest of europe?


As far as I know it's only the UK and Ireland.

[AlienEater]

Church of Misery are awesome

[ATM]

Men In Search Of the Perfect Weapon are so good.

[Txus]

Men In Search Of the Perfect Weapon are so good.

Agreed 100%, Nichts Geht Mehr is great.

[ATM]

Yea, that's the one I got. Really cool band.

That is so awesome. They sound great.

[Menschenfresser]

Holy fcuking ****, that sounds godly!

[leenis]

At The Gallows End sounds so perfect. It's a shame on Solitude you can barely hear Rob Lowe.

Hahaha, when I c/p'd that, I left out the link to the vids.

[Menschenfresser]

Solitude was awesome tho, too many talent over 1 stage!

[leenis]

Absolutely. I like Johan more than Messiah, and Rob Lowe is like my favorite singer period, so that's pure win.

[Menschenfresser]

Black Dwarf was pure perfection!

[leenis]

I didn't really like the vocals on it, even though I like Mats a lot.

[Menschenfresser]

I quite liked them. And Johan Langquist is brilliant in Demon's Gate \m/

How I wish I was there last night!

[leenis]

Totally.

Mikael sounded so amazing. Candlemass + growls = secks

[Menschenfresser]

Yeah, I think he should deiniftely do another album with Katatonia \m/

[Tyr]

I forget, which album is he on again?

[the2stranger]

Brave Murder day. :)

[Tyr]

Right, thanks. I knew it was one of the ones I've got, but I can never remember which.

[Kage]

Idk, prolly their worst album to be honest.

[Menschenfresser]

Awesome album.

[the2stranger]

Awesome indeed, it really shines thanks to the simplicity.

[Menschenfresser]

Yeah, but I much prefer the "new" era.

[the2stranger]

Same here.
Jonas clean vocalson the new stuff are so amazing, as well as the more complex songstructures.

[Tyr]

I, too, prefer their new era.

[leenis]

I'm with you guys, but BMD is still a kickass album.

[Phototropic]

I had apollo by nebula for christmas and didnt really give it much of a listen...what do you guys think about it? i'm gonna give it a good listen now

probably won't beat atomic ritual

[ATM]

I'm really enjoying Candlemass, lately.

Have you guys heard of a band called the Manatees?

[pate]

The Horny Manatees?

[Jondur]

I'm really enjoying Candlemass, lately.


well just for you then, here is a new song with Robert Lowe on vocals.

[pate]

How did you get ahold of that?

It sounds really good. Rob Lowe is like my favorite singer OAT, so I'm quite happy with it.

[Jondur]

It's a secret. Nah - I got the link off slowdeathmetalwithkeyboards.com

And because I'm feeling nice and because you're probably as dissappointed as me at not being able to make the Candlemass 20th anniversary gig at the weekend here's some videos:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=candlemass+070331+&search=Search

[pate]

Yeah, I saw them. They sounded great.

The guy that shot that footage said that the show was professional shot for a DVD. If that's true, it will be a must-buy.

[Jondur]

Absolutely. You can never have too many Candlemass live shows.

I've only just stumbled across this band Ereb Altor, who play Viking-styled doom (like Scald, Doomsword etc) - pretty nifty stuff. The production isn't too hot but the songs are all there in my opinion. One to watch I reckon.

Download some songs here: http://hem.bredband.net/criols/ea.htm

[MetalOz]

The new songwriting competition is DOOM so get in there and show them how it's done...

[Iron Bars]

well just for you then, here is a new song with Robert Lowe on vocals.

http://rapidshare.com/files/23910893/Candlemass_-_Devil_Seed.mp3.html

Sounds very good. I haven't listned to candlemass in a while and I only have the albums with Messiah and EDM but these vocals sound great. They really fit the music. They actually remind me of Krux a bit.

[ATM]

Thanks :)

[pate]

Do you guys hate Rob Lowe's voice? He's my favorite singer OAT, but I only hear people complain about him.

[Jondur]

Anyone who complain's about Rob Lowe's voice is an idiot. He's the best singer in metal*

*except RJD of course.

[pate]

Thank you! I completely agree.

Jondur: I repped you my album.

[Txus]

He is a god among gods IMO. He is ****ing ace! \m/

We always agree, Lee :p

[pate]

Yep :p

[Jondur]

Jondur: I repped you my album.

Cheers man. I'll let you know what I think of it.

[pate]

Great. Thanks!

[pate]

Wino has done it again. I just got The Hidden Hand - The Resurrection of Whiskey Foote, and it is seriously the best new album I've heard in a long time. I recommend it to all fans of doom or stoner. :chug:

[Jondur]

Cheers man. I'll let you know what I think of it.

Well, for starters you will burn in the same circle of hell as Six Feet Under for crimes against Black Sabbath. ;)

Death Vox in Sabbath songs? that's just wrong!

I quite like it in general (not the Sabbath medley, the album). You have some good riffs and the general mood is there. To be honest, there's a lot that needs improving - programmed drums are almost always a let down and some of the keyboards are a bit honky, and in general you still need to find your own sound (and then stick to it!:p). I don't think the vocals fit - good, clean vocals would add so much to the music (I actually like the growls, would sound ace in a old Samael or Rotting Christ style black metal band!), with the growls it makes everything sound a bit monotonous and dull, which means you actually have to listen really hard to pick out the dynamics of the music (and let's face it - most people won't make the effort).

But on the positive side, like I said, there's some good riffs and they're well played. You have a good understanding of mood and dynamics and can obviously play well. There is real potential there so stick with it man and I'd like to hear your next one.

[pate]

Hehee. Thanks man. This is basically the first harsh, constructive criticism we've gotten for any of our 3 albums. :thumb:

The vocals: My cleans are abysmal, so those were our only choice. We've been looking for a singer and drummer for 4 years, and have had no luck. :( The album we're working on now will hopefully feature a mix of clean and harsh.

The drums: I completely think the drum sound sucks, but we don't have a real drummer, and that is the only program that gives me the flexibility I want in programming. So the tradeoff for flexibility is the crappy sounds.

The keyboards/synths in the opening track: I've heard plenty about how bad they are, but again, it was my only choice.

The medley: It was just for fun, and each track was recorded in one take. Considering those things, I think it turned out pretty well. :p

[Jondur]

Hey I completely understand why you've made those choices and we've all been there.

Drummers and singers are always the hardest to find so that leaves you with one option: learn to play the drums. Even the worst drummer will provide more feel than the best drum programmer. If space and noise are an issue get an electronic kit (I have one - it's ace and I'm going to record with it as well so we don't have to mess around with mics for hours). If anything the slightly overcomplicated programming in places detracts from the music at the moment.

Stick with it though - I liked what you've done (even if my review seemed a bit harsh) and I reckon you've got real potential.
