Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[pate]

Electronic kit as in the full kits, or the little pads?

[the2stranger]

(cheap) softsynths and programmed drums are a good thingto get the outline of song.
But you always loose the dynamics, which is really ashame.
Tha's also why I'm not really fond of triggers.

But then again, some bands like Darkspace can get away with programmed drums, but that's not really the kind of music that fits in to your sound Pate.

The electronic kit is a good recommendation though.
Or program drums and run them through the Drumkit from Hell program.
The samples there are also really good, one of thebest programmed drums I've ever heard.

[Daven]

Or just learn to play the drums, like the most basic rhythms. It's not so hard.

[Iron Bars]

Or just learn to play the drums, like the most basic rhythms. It's not so hard.

My brother is thinking about buying an old drumkit.

What program do you use for the drums now Pate?

[pate]

GuitarPro >_>

[Shattered_Future]

lolz.

I use DKFH samples, but I need to learn how to utilize more of them. As is, I usually have the drum sounds at one intensity. I need to learn how to utilize the softer and harder hits instead of just using one hit.

I can play drums...kinda. Not well enough for what I want to do though. That, and I don't have a decent way to mic my drums.

[heavy metal kid]

So, I'm starting a Stoner/Doom/Progressive band.

This is a hughe change for me, I've always played Death Metal, Technical Death and Thrash.

This idea came to my mind when I realized that there wasn't any Stoner or Doom bands in my hometown, so I like to deliver something new and experimental.

The band consist in:

Me: Bass, Vocals, Keyboards, Additional Guitars, Synths.
My friend: Guitar, Drums.

My friend is a really talented guitarist, but he only plays thrash so this is new to him, but we are gonna start playing music I wrote.

[pate]

Mike: What program do you use the DKFM in? Please don't say FL.

[Shattered_Future]

Mike: What program do you use the DKFM in? Please don't say FL.

Drumkit From Mars? Drumkit For Men? :p

I use Garageband. Which is helpful to the other 3 people on the whole forum who use Macs as well. :smash:

[pate]

lol typo

Damn. I hate Fruity Loops. I'd prefer to use the DKFH through GP, but that doesn't work. :(

[Shattered_Future]

I dunno, my friend has Fruity Loops and you can do some pretty good stuff with that program. It's kinda hard to use, but once you learn it works well.

[ATM]

Fruity Loops is pretty sweet.

[pate]

I don't think it's hard to use, it's just very rigid, whereas with GP I can do whatever rhythms and note durations I want.

[Shattered_Future]

Yeah, that was a problem I had too. Fruity Loops is mad rigid.

I am listening to Senmuth right now. Very cool. It's labeled as "instrumental ethnic doom metal". Whatever the hell that means.

you should maybe learn to write stoner / doom then, its not that simple to change over from one to the other

bad reason to start a band in my opinion, shouldnt you start it because you love the type of music so much?

[Jondur]

I don't think it's hard to use, it's just very rigid, whereas with GP I can do whatever rhythms and note durations I want.

I know I'm a moaning old fart but the issue isn't really the drum sounds it's the beats. the transitions between sections to be precise. A real drummer just wouldn't play like that.

Which is why an electronic kit wouldn't solve the sounds (as by and large they still don't perfectly recreate the sound of a real kit) but they would add the feel and 'realness' factor.

And if you want real drums, stop worrying about micing up so much - this isn't technical death metal - you want your drums to sound like drums. Stick a large piece of plywood on the floor, set your drums up on it, stick one mic in the kick drum and set two overheads up. You'll be surprised by the results.

I'm looking in to e-kits, but they're too damned expensive. I may end up with one of the little pad things.


I'm on a huge Orange Goblin kick. :thumb:

Also, Jondur: I'm seeing Solitude Aeturnus in 2 weeks.

If money is your main problem buy a real kit. You can get them dirt cheap

Bastard. Never seen them live but I know they'll be fantastic. Do me a favour and don't tell me about afterwards! I handle jealousy badly!

[ATM]

People always play the electric kits at work as if they are real drums, it's funny to see the drum counter guys freaking out.

The problem is I don't HAVE 3 mics to set up, nor do I have the capabilities to do it. My preamp only accepts 2. :lol:

Khanate

Never really got into drone that much. A bit too repetitive for my tastes.

I'm very mad at my copy of Through The Darkest Hour right now. It was skipping on The 8th Day. :mad:

[pate]

Oh noe!!!!!! That is such a perfect album.

[Shattered_Future]

Yeah, I'm actually really liking SA. I don't usually like the production values that they use, but for some reason it works out well for them.

ive got some asva and khanate cd's, but drone makes me fall asleep.

[SoundDevastation]

Fall asleep?! i think id end up with horrible nightmares if i fell asleep to Svarte Greiner or AEthanor.

Khanate though.. what a band. i love them so.. damn O'Malley for making them split up!

[Iron Bars]

Khanate, isn't that the band from which one of the Sunn)))0 guitarists came?

NP: Cathedral - Stained Glas Horizons

Cathedral is still my favorite Doom band I gues. The vocals blow me away every time.

[SoundDevastation]

Yes.. Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))), Teeth Of Lions Rule The Devine, Gunnungagap, AEthanor and 1776543 more projects..

Khanate got him where he is now, and is far superior to everything else he's ever done. ever.

[the2stranger]

I enjoy me quite some drone.
Khanate is pretty excellent, the vocals are so tortured.
TOTLRTD is great too.

As far as other drone is concerned I'm reallyenjoying the new Nadja.
So relaxing.

Any one heard of Orthodox? They're a spanish drone band,I guess you could classify them a bit as HEX: Or Printing in the Infernal Method by EARTH, bt with some ethnic sounds too.
I wasn't that impressed on the first listen ,but might want to give it another spin.

[SoundDevastation]

Orthodox is awesome.. do need to listen to more of that Earth release though.. and i havent got the new Nadja yet either... is that on Profound Lore? if so i might try getting some into our shop..

[pate]

Yeah, I'm actually really liking SA. I don't usually like the production values that they use, but for some reason it works out well for them.

They are like my favorite band. Beyond the Crimson Horizon may well be my favorite album of all time.

And, I'm seeing them live with, you guessed it, Novembers Doom and others in 2 weeks. :p:p

[the2stranger]

Orthodox is awesome.. do need to listen to more of that Earth release though.. and i havent got the new Nadja yet either... is that on Profound Lore? if so i might try getting some into our shop..

The new Nadja was released on Archive label and only 600 copies were made, so I bet you'll have a hard time finding them. :(

But it's really good,one track, and over an hour of ambient, chilling drone.

[Shattered_Future]

Moss is incredible.

[Txus]

Ew, Drone.

And St. Vitus are becoming one of my favorite Traditional Doom bands, simply perfect.

[the2stranger]

I'm not bigon St. Vitus. :(
They lack some power imo.
It justdoesn't seem to go anywhere.

Sup Mike?

[pate]

Vitus is amazing. Born Too Late is a ****ing anthem.

I've been on a total Wino kick this week. I should have like 20 plays each of Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan and The Hidden Hand. That man is a god.

[Txus]

I have yet to hear The Hidden Hand and Spirit Caravan off that list :(

Sup Mike?
Nothing much, I'm really bored atm...but I'm going to a friends party tonight, should be good. Bunch of stoners :p

What about you? How are grim lands treating you?

[pate]

The Hidden Hand is really great. They're a bit more psychedelic than Wino's other stuff. I suggest you get their new one, The Resurrection of Whiskey Foote (badass title right thurr).

Spirit Caravan is closer in sound to The Obsessed and Vitus. Their EP Dreamwheel is quite good, but the great find is The Last Embrace. It's a comp, that happens to be both of their albums plus a few unreleased tracks.

[Txus]

Sounds great, mind uploading that Spirit Caravan comp for me, Li? :)

I just found a torrents for the Hidden Hand \m/

[pate]

I refuse to upload it, but I have a link. :p I'll rep it to you.

Actually....it's on The Cathedral. But it might be mega though. If it is I'll upload it later today.

[Txus]

If it's on The Cathedral there's a 90% that the link is mega...and thanks if you upload that :)

I think I owe you like 4 albums already, haha.

warhorse is pretty cool. female vocals ftw

Make sure to listen to some stoner. ;)

The grim lands are treating me with great grimness (and too expensive booze :upset: ).
But I'm so enjoying myself.
I took such nice pictures of a half frozen waterfall 2 days ago.
I even posed black metal style in the forest. :lol:

Damn, I fogot to put a few albums on my laptop, sonow I'm missing a few nice FD albums.

[Txus]

I played some Kyuss last night :p

And that sounds awesome, I'm so excited because I'm like 90% positive that I'm going at the end of the year :D

[-Listy-]

does anyone like the Sword? ( probably been discussed already :( )

they're pretty new I guess, I don't think they're that bad. Freya is a cool song.

[Txus]

I got their album like 5 months ago, I remember not liking it that much tbqh :(

[-Listy-]

I've only heard Freya (from guitar hero 2 :p) and a few songs off their myspace..was wondering if the album was worth picking up haha.

guess not!

[Txus]

Most of my friends liked their stuff, so I guess I'm one of the few ones who doesn't like them all that much...so I'd say you should check their album out and get your own conclusions :)

[ATM]

I like that album quite a bit. It's a fun listen.

I actually saw a guy wearing a Sword sweatshirt at the Battles show so I was chatting with him.

V is my favorite Vitus as well.

Hm, any other Melvins fans?

I just missed Clutch and The Sword when they came through here a week ago, really wish I had gone now. Havn't seen any stoner bands in ages, except some local stuff.

And I ordered the new Warning album at my local cd shop.

[metal-militia]

Were there many people there?
I didn't think much of Black Cobra but I thought the drumming was quality.

[AlienEater]

I wish I could see Acid King. Good band

Apparently, Lori S used to be married to Dale Crover

[Phototropic]

haha really? thats nuts, there wasnt a bad turnout, it wasnt packed but there was a lot of support for them there you know

the drumming was crazy in Black Cobra yeh, tight duo, just so primitive and insane, hard to feel comfortable with

The Gates of Slumber were fantastic when I saw them with Reverend Bizarre in October.

[Roy.]

hey i am interested in hearing more of the gates of slumber.

anybody got an album of thiers to upload?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Check your rep, Roy.

[Iron Bars]

I just figured out I can't go the the Trouble show. I'll be on vacation then.

NP: Pagan Altar - Judgement of the dead

[23-inch dude]

if you want stoner and or doom, join the daily upload, there is sometimes some albums on it, plus I'm planning on uploading some myself, since I got really into the stuff (been to clutch and the sword and witchcraft this week, and monday josiah is coming to my town)

[Iron Bars]

Witchcraft are good. I've never really checked out Clutch of the Sword.

[Poofy 666]

Whoever wants a link to Forest of Shadows' Departure, let me know. Its really good epic doom.

I uploaded it for the DU, so just wait for it if you are on it.

[23-inch dude]

that's odd iron bars, Clutch and the sword rocked(especially that evening) but witchcraft sucked in my opinion, I heard good things about them(hadn't heard any music of them though) but live, man...

[Phototropic]

how do you join the daily upload?

i just got Across Tundras album in the mail

sounds absoloutely massive and primal, gonna take some getting used to but i heard good things in the first listen!

[23-inch dude]

just go to the thread and you'll see

[Txus]

Any of you guys like Indian? Such a great sludge band, if you guys like Neurosis or Lair of the Minotaur you'll definitely like them. Crushing stuff.

[metal-militia]

Just downloading the new Trouble album. Think it's pretty good so far.

[Give me Beer]

I just got back from RoadBurn 2005, it was crushing. Acid King got everybody softend up so Om could drive a buldozer over the audience for Neurosis to sledgehammer everybody over the head and what was left standing was smashed by Black Cobra.

King Buzzo owned the room friday. Big Business/Melvins make a great combo.

This was like my Woodstock :D.

http://www.roadburn.com I bet you're all jealous. The location of the camping was in a freakin' Safari park. It being organised in Holland meant cheap, readily available, quality weed.

Two days of solid bliss.

[23-inch dude]

man!!!

[ATM]

Sounds so good :)

So which band was your favorite? I bet seeing Om was pretty badass.

[Give me Beer]

Definitely Om. Seeing Cisneros and Hakius in the flesh... too good to be true. They were so very crushing, I almost became their music :D. Acid King was the surprise of the festival for me. I liked them on record but live they were so much better. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Big Business and the Melvins were far more powerfull than I expected going in and Black Cobra gave far more than I gave 'm credit for.

Pelican was also sweet but I didn't see enough of the gig due to time constraints (only saw the last half hour or something).

Next year, three days. :D If we're lucky we'll have a Sleep reunion by then ;).

[Shattered_Future]

Man, that sounds freaking cool.

Are Paradise Lost considered doom metal, or are they more gothic? Whatever they may be, their new album is ace.

[Txus]

More Goth, I don't like them :(

[Iron Bars]

Next year, three days. :D If we're lucky we'll have a Sleep reunion by then ;).

Starts drooling.

But is there anything that sugests they'll get together with Pike again than?

[Give me Beer]

One of my friends claims he read an interview in which they said they didn't rule out the possibility of a reunion.

One can only hope.

[Jondur]

The Gates of Slumber were fantastic when I saw them with Reverend Bizarre in October.

I saw them on that tour as well. This time they were better!

I also 'got' Centurion's Ghost for the first time. Every other time I've seen them I just haven't been able to get into them but this time... well I'm a definite convert. Yes, they may have death metal (well almost hardcore) vocals but they have the doom feeling in spades. With the demise of Thee Plague of Gentlemen, could Centurion's Ghost be the heaviest band in the world? It's possible.

Witchsorrow were the opening band and they are definitely ones to watch. With bands like Witchsorrow, Lamp of Thoth, CG, The River, Unsilence, Warning etc I reckon the UK has thee best doom scene in the world. Discuss.

[Jondur]

Seriously right, there's no excuse for this. You want to hear them before you buy something - well go on their myspace site. There's about 4 songs there to hear. If you like them then buy an album. You're not ripping off EMI here - you're stealing from a small underground label that relies on the sales of each album to finance the next one.

If you can't afford to buy an album, well, I can't afford a Porsche so I'm not going to go and steal one.

hear hear

i don't understand people who 'don't buy CDs anymore'

robbing bastards

Of those I've only heard Warning and their Watching from a distance is becomming one of my favorite albums fast.

Als great UK doom and one of my favorite doom bands: Cathedral.

Yeah I didn't think too much of Centurion's Ghost when I saw them.

I've heard a few Witchsorrow songs and thought they sounded very promising. I'd love to see them and Lamp of Thoth.

Only Cathedral's early stuff is doom really. I love Forest of Equlibrium.

[ATM]

Cathedral are damn good.

Have you guys heard Sons of Otis?

[philly96]

Has anyone heard of Virgin Black? They're an Australian doom metal. They released a new album this year, its got the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra on a few songs. Its an interesting album.

[pate]

Yeah, so Novembers Doom, Solitude Aeturnus and Saturnus were ****ing amazing this weekend. I would post more about it but I'm getting ****ing sick of mx.

[metal-militia]

Have you guys heard Sons of Otis?

Yep, think they're ok.

[Poofy 666]

Lucky. Thats an awsome lineup :)

Why is mx lame now?


NP: Forest of Shadows - Eternal Autumn

[rippa32]

Hey I was thinking of ordering some Pentagram LP's from www.stonerrock.com I already have the Turn To Stone best of, any other suggestions? I was looking for some of the later stuff for variety.

[Phototropic]

Cathedral are damn good.

Sons of otis have some killer riffs + grooves

the vocals kill it though, they are atrocious, if they were instrumental they'd be better

[Jondur]

get 'Be Forewarned'. Now!!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Day of Reckoning is really good too.

[pate]

So the new Candlemass leaked. It's really kickass.

[Txus]

I'm downloading now :)

[pate]

This is my 4th time through it in a row. It's so much better than the self-titled, just like Rob Lowe is so much better than Messiah.

BTW Mike....I met Rob Lowe and John Perez this weekend. :p:p

[Txus]

Ohh you bastard :mad: I bet Lowe is such a nice guy

And if its much better than the s/t I will definitely love it since the s/t is my 2nd favorite...yeah, I'm weird.

[pate]

Rob was really nice, but John Perez was the coolest guy ever. I talked to him about (gasp!) Testament and Bathory. :lol:

The first few tracks on the s/t are great, but then it goes to **** IMO.

[Daven]

I got the new Candlemass yesterday, but i havent listened to it yet.

[pate]

I'm on my 5th time through it in a row. It is great.

[Shattered_Future]

I should get that then. I didn't like their S/T at all, to be perfectly honest.

[Txus]

Wow, I love it. Why is that, Mike?

[Shattered_Future]

Dunno. It's just really, REALLY boring. I kinda found that about a lot of their stuff, to be perfectly honest...

Don't hurt me.

[Txus]

:o I thought you had a good taste...

<3

[Nepenthe]

Anyone who wanted Across Tundras email me and let me know.

Anthony.Pandolf@gmail.com

[Txus]

Holy Jesus H. ****ing christ, the new Candlemass is crushiiiing \m/

[pate]

The s/t is boring after the first 3 songs, but I love their first 4 albums.

...and the new one.

[Iron Bars]

Holy Jesus H. ****ing christ, the new Candlemass is crushiiiing \m/

Was it released or did it leak?

[pate]

Leaked. The release date is June 12.

To add to my comments about Rob Lowe, I was shocked to find that he smokes. :o

[Iron Bars]

I wonder what will happen with Solitude Aeternus now that Rob also sings with Candlemass. I hope it wil not become some sort of side project.

[pate]

John Perez said that they aren't very active anyway, so it will be the same.

[Iron Bars]

They did have something like 10 years between releases anyway now that I think of it.

NP: Warning - Footprints

[Shattered_Future]

New Candlemass is pretty good so far. I haven't shut it off in boredom yet, which is a good sign.

[pate]

Yeah...I think it rapes the **** out of the s/t, but I'm not that big on Messiah and you know how I feel about Rob Lowe. :p

They did have something like 10 years between releases anyway now that I think of it.

NP: Warning - Footprints

8, yep.

[Txus]

and you know how I feel about Rob Lowe cumming in my mouth :p
Ohh you dirty lee.

[pate]

Just about right.

[Txus]

:naughty: kewl

[AA-12]

S/T was horrible. I'm interested in this.

[Nepenthe]

Seven Silver Keys is the only song worth anything on the self titled, but it's worth aloooot.

[pate]

I only like it and Black Dwarf. But I like every track on the new one.

[Shattered_Future]

I dunno, I much prefer Solitude Aeternus to this.

[pate]

Rob's vocals are different than they are in SA.

[Shattered_Future]

Yeah...I gotta say I liked SA's better.

[AA-12]

holy ****ing ****

this band is so incredible I can't even believe it.

[ATM]

Nice, really liked that.

[Nepenthe]

Good stuff but their incredibleness is believable.

[RetiredAt21]

I can't stop listening to Mournful Congregation. So ****ing good.

[Nepenthe]

Ablaze In Hatred is some real good stuff, last new Doom band I heard that I really liked.

I've decided that Dance Of December Souls is for sure in my absolute top 3 albums of all time.

[Jondur]

Any fans of the godly Rising Dust? For me they epitomise doom completely.

[Phototropic]

Just got Colour Hazes self titled CD through the mail :) gonna sit down and take it all in later

one of the songs is 22 minutes long though ... :o what a lovely surprise, the version i had on my pc was 9 minutes

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got Rising Dust's self titled. It's great.

[Txus]

Yeah, Rising Dust are really ****ing good.

[rippa32]

I just bought Mournful Cries by Saint Vitus which is my first real introduction to Saint Vitus, and my first CD with Wino. I think its bloody great. What do you guys think of Saint Vitus?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

One of the best Doom bands ever, really.

[rippa32]

Haha fair enough, I think if you made me choose (I'd rather you didn't) I would have to say I like Pentagram more but then again this album is only new to me. It has some awesome riffs on it and I love Wino's vocals, suits it perfectly. Whats the stuff without him singing like?

[Jondur]

I've got Rising Dust's self titled. It's great.

Unfortunately that's all there is now and there's been no update from the band re: a new album for ages now. I pester them on a regular basis via Gayspace but haven't heard anything back. They're still gigging though.

[Iron Bars]

I just saw Sagh confirmed themselves for Wacken this year.

[pate]

*Sahg

I really like them, and they put on a great show live.

[repcak]

holy ****ing ****

this band is so incredible I can't even believe it.

incredible indeed... the music and the video... wow.

[ATM]

Saint Vitus are awesome, Wino comes into my work all the time (which I have bragged about a million times) :D

[Jondur]

. Whats the stuff without him singing like?


Fantastic. 'Die Healing' is probably my favourite Vitus record.

[Iron Bars]

*Sahg

I really like them, and they put on a great show live.

I remebered listening to their album some time back so I just listened to it again. They'll be on my to watch list for sure.

[pate]

I remebered listening to their album some time back so I just listened to it again. They'll be on my to watch list for sure.

I saw them back in September with Celtic Frost. I was already a huge fan of their album, but they really put on a killer show.

[Phototropic]

I don't see the big deal with any of the doom bands any body mentions lately....sounds like lame, sluggish crap to me...what happened to the stoner band chat?

[pate]

Most stoner is lame, slightly-less-sluggish crap.

[Phototropic]

hardly...i don't understand how they go in this thread thats all...theres kyuss, wizard, orange goblin, colour haze, nebula etc, all riffage, pyschedelic in parts but the stuff you guys talk about is very different from that...

[repcak]

don't you think that Anathemas song "Deep" is one of their best?

[pate]

hardly...i don't understand how they go in this thread thats all...theres kyuss, wizard, orange goblin, colour haze, nebula etc, all riffage, pyschedelic in parts but the stuff you guys talk about is very different from that...

This thread is for stoner and doom metal, not just "stoner/doom metal"

[rippa32]

Saint Vitus are awesome, Wino comes into my work all the time (which I have bragged about a million times) :D

Really? That'd be awesome, where do you work?

[pate]

Music store of some sort.
