Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[pate]

Well, considering the guy from SA sings on Candlemass's new album, it's not suprising. :lol:

I love SA. The best band out there.

Fix'd.

[Jondur]

Trouble were fantastic last night and the set list was very good. I even managed to shake Eric Wagner's hand! :thumb:

I'm gutted that I missed this one. I have the Live at Stockholm DVD and they look like such a great live band. How Eric sings that good while smoking constantly is beyond me.

People who don't like Trouble are most definitely not metal.

[Iron Bars]

Well, considering the guy from SA sings on Candlemass's new album, it's not suprising. :lol:

Ah you caught me.

NP: Candlemass - Demonia 6

[RetiredAt21]

I'm blazed and listening to Moss. Life is perfect right now.

[pate]

People who don't like Trouble are most definitely not metal.

I agree.

[Shattered_Future]

Fix'd.

Well, not ever. Maybe doomwise.

[Dimmu Burger]

Can someone recommend which Neuosis albums I should get?

[Nepenthe]

A Sun That Never Sets

[AA-12]

Anyone know of some good stoner/doom (probably stoner) metal that is heavy on southern influence?

[Nepenthe]

Yay a chance to whore these guys.

Across Tundras

I've got a link to.

[AA-12]

It's pretty good so far (their MySpace).

EDIT: Holy ****, Cortez the Killer

[Nepenthe]

I tried to whore them a long while back but no one payed any attention. You want the link?

[AA-12]

To an album? Hell yes I do.

[Nepenthe]

Uhyesur. Sent. I love these guys.

[AA-12]

Thanks a ton :)

[Shattered_Future]

Southern Influence? Maybe...Eyehategod? I'm not sure.

Man, I completely forgot about Remembrance. They were one of the first bands to friend us on Myspace. Found their album...GOOOOD funeral doom. Programmed drums are meh, but I'm used to them from all the programming I do.

[pate]

Well, not ever. Maybe doomwise.

Yes. Ever.

Anyone know of some good stoner/doom (probably stoner) metal that is heavy on southern influence?

Alabama Thunderpussy is what you need. Their new one is fantastic.

[Phototropic]

Yay a chance to whore these guys.

Across Tundras

I've got a link to.

amazing band

although i find it difficult to listen to the whole album, the singing is atrocious, but the music sounds so big and mean its definately on its own :)

[Nuke Broadcast]

[Nepenthe]

Across Tundras' vocals are part of their brilliance. They're supposed to be technically unsound, it adds to the whole old south feel.

[Bartender]

Halfway to Gone, maybe. They're definitely very much on the rock side of the stoner rock bit though, away from the doom.

[Phototropic]

Across Tundras' vocals are part of their brilliance. They're supposed to be technically unsound, it adds to the whole old south feel.

maybe so but its a hard listen :p

[Nuke Broadcast]

Halfway to Gone, maybe. They're definitely very much on the rock side of the stoner rock bit though, away from the doom.

ive been enjoying them quite a bit lately. good choice.

[metal-militia]

I'm gutted that I missed this one. I have the Live at Stockholm DVD and they look like such a great live band. How Eric sings that good while smoking constantly is beyond me.

People who don't like Trouble are most definitely not metal.

Haha yeah It's wierd that he smokes so much and his voice sounds almost as good as it did 20 years ago. He must've gone through about 20 during the show!

[Bartender]

ive been enjoying them quite a bit lately. good choice.

Yeah, I like them. They do very good instrumentals, which was something I was surprised at. I've only got Second Season so far, though.

[Txus]

October Tide are soooooooooooo good \m/

Rain Without End is one of the best Death/Doom albums I've heard lately.

[Bartender]

I just got a few albums in the post, most of them doom-related. Listened to a couple; Burning Saviours were great, groovy 'retro' heavy rock. Centurion's Ghost are, so far, great as well. They remind me a bit of Thee Plague of Gentlemen, I think. Excellent name, anyway. EDIT: Actually, just got to the end of "Misery Serenade" - they remind me a lot of ..Gentlemen.

Of the rest, I'm expecting one to be droning, maybe funeral-like doom, one to be Sabbath-esque proper doom, and one to not be doom at all. I hope I'm right; suppose I'll be letting you know.

[Nepenthe]

October Tide's music could suck and I would still listen to it simply to hear Renske's harsh vocals again. Fortunately, the music is excellent.

[Txus]

Centurion's Ghost are, so far, great as well. They remind me a bit of Thee Plague of Gentlemen
I need to check Centurion's Ghost out then, I loooove Thee Plague of Gentlemen.

And Renske's is a great vocalist, I'm downloading the other October Tide album as we speak.

[Jondur]

If you like TPOG then you must check out SerpentCult who are basically TPOG with a female singer. Great stuff.

Bartender - who is the other one you're expecting to be Sabbath type doom?

[Bartender]

Pale Divine.

I'm still working towards getting albums by Saint Vitus and Trouble and so on, but they all seem to be out of print, limited availability and so on.

I did find some kind of reissue of an album or two by a band called Mercy, which claimed to be along the same lines, but I've never heard of them. Are they any good, do you know?

[ATM]

Anyone heard the new Candlemass yet?

[Txus]

Yeah, the new Candlemass is great.

I was listening to Warning last night, great ****.

[Iron Bars]

The new Candlemass is great, but Warning is better.

[Txus]

I prefer Candlemass, but I'm a fanboy so....yeah :)

And Trouble are SOOOOOO GOOD. I'm getting their discography today.

[pate]

Hell yeah Trouble is amazing.

I like the new Candlemass, but Demonia 6 is a horrid song.

I'm a Rob Lowe fanboy, as well as a Candlemass fanboy, so the match worked well.

[metal-militia]

Centurion's Ghost are, so far, great as well. They remind me a bit of Thee Plague of Gentlemen, I think. Excellent name, anyway. EDIT: Actually, just got to the end of "Misery Serenade" - they remind me a lot of ..Gentlemen.



When I saw Centurion's Ghost I wasn't that impressed, althought I thought their album was pretty good.

Thee Plague of Gentleman are quality.

[Kage]

You guys into Om?

[pate]

I like them a little.

[Nepenthe]

I love them.

[Kage]

Their album Variations on a Theme kills.

[Txus]

You guys into Om?
I only have Conference of the Birds and their split with Six Organce of Admittance, but yeah, they are great.

[Nepenthe]

Why you would get that split and not Variations On A Theme is beyond me. Variations is the album they are known for. AKA get it now.

[pate]

I just discovered Bitterdusk. They are ****ing amazing.

[Iron Bars]

Why you would get that split and not Variations On A Theme is beyond me. Variations is the album they are known for. AKA get it now.

I think Conference with Birds is alot better though. Haven't heard the split.

[Jondur]

Pale Divine.

Great band.

I'm still working towards getting albums by Saint Vitus and Trouble and so on, but they all seem to be out of print, limited availability and so on.

Should be fairly easy to find Trouble albums as the first three were reissued recently. Similarly Southern Lord reissued St Vitus "V" so that shouldn't be too hard to find.

the others may prove more problematic. If you really want them and are willing to pay - I can find them for you.

I did find some kind of reissue of an album or two by a band called Mercy, which claimed to be along the same lines, but I've never heard of them. Are they any good, do you know?

Which album? Messiah Marcolin used to sing for them.

[Bartender]

Witchburner - always an attractive kind of name - and Mercy together, apparently.

I'll try and look harder for the reissues then, to be fair my searching so far has been reasonably minimal. I'm usually willing to pay quite a bit for stuff if I want it though, yeah.

[the2stranger]

October Tide are soooooooooooo good \m/

Rain Without End is one of the best Death/Doom albums I've heard lately.

Hell yes.
I love that album.

I will listen to it afterthis album finishes. :D

[NemesisDivina]

I've been 100% addicted to Ahab's The Call of the Wretched Sea lately. The shirt I ordered got shipped out yesterday :thumb: .

[the2stranger]

Awesome, I also want a shirt.
/looks around the internet.

I really hope to catch them live sometime.
They had my favorite album of 2006. :)

[NemesisDivina]

http://www.napalmrecords.com/

go to their store.

[the2stranger]

Cool beans,
Thanks man.
I will order a shirt once I'm back in the Netherlands. :D

[NemesisDivina]

no problem. They're limited to 500 though, so you might wanna get one quick

[the2stranger]

Alright.
Hmm, then I indeed think it would be better to be quick.
Lemme check.

[Bartender]

Does anybody like Ea - Ea Taesse? It's probably my least favourite so far of the albums I've bought in the last couple of weeks, but then from my point of view it was a bit of a risk buying it anyway, and I've quite liked it the couple of times I've put it on.

[the2stranger]

I like it quite a lot, although some buzzing in the production makes it lose some atmospehere at times.
I think it'squite good Funeral doom.
The use of synths is quite well, even though you can draw some clear paralels to other fd bands.

[Bartender]

I just got it because of the dead language thing - I'm shallow like that - but now that I have it, I do like it, yeah.

[the2stranger]

This dead language thing is really just media promotion.
But the music can stand on its own quite well.
Not bad and I will certainly be keeping an eye open for this guy in the future.

[RetiredAt21]

Dead language?

[Bartender]

The name, titles, lyrics and so on are all "based on the sacral texts of ancient civilizations.. recreated according to the results of archeological research". Don't think they give any idea anywhere as to what language it is, which doesn't really seem to matter anyway since as far as I heard the vocals, apart from copious amounts of choir, were pretty sparse.

[RetiredAt21]

Oh. Sounds...interesting, I guess.

[pate]

I recently discovered Bitterdusk and Spiritus Mortis. Bitterdusk is ****ing amazing, and SM is pretty darn good.

Yay for random finds.

[the2stranger]

Bitterdusk sounds very interesting Pate.
I will look in to them.

[Jondur]

I recently discovered Bitterdusk and Spiritus Mortis. Bitterdusk is ****ing amazing, and SM is pretty darn good.

Yay for random finds.

I love Spiritus Mortis. Vesa is a great singer - belting it out like Eric Adams!

Even I must admit though that they're on the border between Epic Doom and just plain Epic Metal.

Never heard Bitterdusk - any more info on them?

[Txus]

Any Burning Witch fans?

[metalhead17]

I like clutch and queens of the stone age.Kyuss is cool along with unida.

[Shattered_Future]

Lolz at Pate's music getting pirated.

http://ultranihil.blogspot.com/

Second band down. It should be.

[Cocaine]

Pirated on a spanish blog no less.

[pate]

Never heard Bitterdusk - any more info on them?

Off the top of my head right now, they have elements of My Dying Bride and Candlemass.

@ that blog: I talked to the guy who runs it, and sent him the album.

[Txus]

Best Doom blog I know btw :)

[Nepenthe]

I bet the people who run it are your uncle's attorney's sons right? Or something close to that.

[Txus]

**** you Anthony

[Nepenthe]

You're upset because I hit the nail right on the head.

It's all in love Mike, all in love.

[NemesisDivina]

Bitterdusk sounds awesome. Which album did you get? I'll check it out.

[pate]

Spirits

[the2stranger]

Right now I'm listening to Oktober' Tide - Rain Without End, damn, why did they break up?
Such a great band.
It reminds me a lot of advanced Brave Murder Day writing style.
So damn sweet and the vocals, oh man..

[Nepenthe]

Renske is one of my favorite vocalists ever. His work on Dance Of December Souls is quite possibly the greatest harsh vocals of all time. Shame they put that generic growler Akerfeldt on Brave Murder Day.

[the2stranger]

Akerfeldt is pretty good in Opeth, buthe sounds too clean for Katatonia.
Renske didsuch a greatjob with powerfull, emotive vocals on DoDS.
A bit more rough and full of emotion, yes.
Renske is high in my list of favorite vocalists. I really enjoy the way he's singing now too, but still woldn't it be great if they recorded another doom/death album? We can always hope.:(

[Nepenthe]

Finally someone who agrees with me about Akerfeldt and Renske! I always try to explain how much better Renske's tortured screams fit in with the old Katatonia atmosphere than Mikael's clean growls.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I'm a big fan of Boris and Electric Wizard... Boris was one of the best live acts I've ever seen; they're really uptempo at times for a doom/stoner metal band.

[Nepenthe]

Boris' uptempo parts are what make them so cool, like in Hama. The awesome drone parts just add to it.

[Txus]

Favorite Boris? Mine is Heavy Rocks and Rainbow.

[pixiesfanyo]

Digging on some Grave Temple - The Holy Down. O'Malley in Israel.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Favorite Boris? Mine is Heavy Rocks and Rainbow.
Rainbow is my favourite, but I've not heard a great deal of their material.

[pixiesfanyo]

How many times do we have to talk about Boris, guys?

[Nepenthe]

58732

[RetiredAt21]

How many times do we have to talk about Boris, guys?

Seriously.

[ATM]

Yea, but that always happens on MX. Everyone starts drooling over a certain band for a few months and then later everyone claims they never liked them.

[Shattered_Future]

I like Electric Wizard.

[the2stranger]

I've never been in love with Boris, they make some good music, but nothing I'd get all over about.

I'm listening to Dolarian - Voidwardsright now.
Very good doom/death/dark metal.
It's just so dark and mysterious and then out of noewherethere's an explosion with growled tortured vocals.
They pull it off very well, I love it.

Any love for them?

[repcak]

i don't know them, so i can't say... i neither heard anything by boris...

[Nepenthe]

I like saying the exact same things every time certain bands are brought up.

[pate]

So who here's heard Boris?

[Nepenthe]

Boris' uptempo parts are what make them so cool, like in Hama. The awesome drone parts just add to it.

[Iron Bars]

I like Boris alot. Most of the time I listen to the more stoner/psychedelic albums, but when I listen to drone it most of the time them. The thing Which Solomon Overlooked is great.
Favorite album overal is Heavy Rocks.

[rhcp pman]

I've never been in love with Boris, they make some good music, but nothing I'd get all over about.

Yep, I'm a fan of Dolorian. They're a pretty decent band.

[metal-militia]

I was never a big fan of Boris, although I must admit I haven't heard much of their stuff.

[Concubine]

Church Of Misery slays

[Nepenthe]

Wow Capricorns is amazing. Anyone heard Ruder Forms Survive?

And wow Suma is even better. Two excellent first listens in one night. I don't know why I let these sit around for so long.

[Dimmu Burger]

I have Boris's Pink, its not bad.

Anybody heard of Draconian? They seem pretty Doomy to me.

[Txus]

Wow Capricorns is amazing. Anyone heard Ruder Forms Survive?

Never heard of them, all of them :(

[Nepenthe]

Get ready for my new thread then. In about 2 minutes.

[Txus]

I <4 u...and yes, I meant the 4 not the 3 :cool:

[AlienEater]

Capricorns are really good

I've "met" the main guy in a record store in London

[Phototropic]

Capricorns are really good

he was down swansea near xmas checking out a gig with Firebird, Gentlemans Pistols and others, i didnt know but my mate recognised and spoke to him

[Txus]

Do you guys like Deadbird?

[the2stranger]

What are they like?

[Txus]

Really heavy sludge, if you like Neurosis Times Of Grace and Through Silver In Blood you'll love them.

[Shattered_Future]

Ok guys, I need some music that has ridiculous amounts of distortion and blues influence. Whoever recommends me bands recieves a cookie!

[Nepenthe]

Blue Cheer

[pate]

Orange Goblin

Bongzilla

[Shattered_Future]

Sweet.

Li, you fail since I've heard of all those bands. No cookie for you! :mad:

EDIT: Goddammit guys I can't find any of this stuff...:upset:

[Nepenthe]

You can't find any Blue Cheer wtf you suck at finding music.

[Shattered_Future]

I didn't look for Blue Cheer cuntbag. :D

[Nepenthe]

Then why ask for suggestions?

[Bartender]

Halfway to Gone?

/tentative

[Nepenthe]

Blue Cheer is the definition of blues with ridiculous amounts of distortion.

[Txus]

Blue Cheer were really good.

Halfway to Gone FTW \m/

Andddd Across Tundras were kicking my *** like at 5am, great music.

[Nepenthe]

Across Tundras is the ****. They pull off the old western style superbly.

[Txus]

Yeah, they are really good. Do you guys like Coffins?

[Bartender]

Halfway to Gone FTW \m/


Their instrumentals are so good. "Thee Song (A Slight Return)" just can't fail for me.

[Shattered_Future]

Then why ask for suggestions?

I didn't get around to checking them out. I now have Vincebus Eruptum downloading.

[pate]

Blue Cheer is excellent.

[Kage]

Have you guys heard the Sons of Otis split with Queen Elephantine?

Queen Elephantine's side is ****ing awesome, and I got an advance on QE's new EP that is absolutely amazing.

[Nepenthe]

Fistula's Hymns Of Slumber rocked my world last night. And good ol Om did as well.

[Txus]

Sons of Otis are good, haven't heard Queen Elephantine though.

Fistula are classic, great band.

[the2stranger]

Fallen is ruling my world atm.
I love the deep male vocals, too bad they now have a chick as lead singer.

Still; A Tragedy's Bitter End is beautiful.

[AA-12]

I know you all hate them, but...

I got an awesome The Sword shirt today.

[the2stranger]

I don't hate them, just never got around to checking them because of all the negative feedback they get on here.

Still, new bandshirts are always cool.

[AA-12]

I love them really. Straightforward Sabbath style doom, but it's a good listen.

[Nepenthe]

The Sword kicks ***. The second half of the album is like thirty steps down from the first though.

[Niflheim]

Age of Winters is one of the worst attempts at stoner doom ive ever heard. It is completely boring and unoriginal all the way through.

[Nepenthe]

It's not supposed to be original. And it's not supposed to be stoner either, it's a straight up, unoriginal, no thought involved doom album.

I surely hope nippleheim isn't talking about something he doesn't know anything about.

[Niflheim]

Well, it is trash, whatever it is supposed to be.

[Angmar]

Its an ok album, not something I ever really listen to though. =/

[Nepenthe]

It's good for what it is. It's fun to listen to. No everything has to be profound and innovative, some stuff you just listen to because it sounds cool.

[Niflheim]

Ok, I know that. It doesn't sound cool at all. It is just plain boring. Witch is a perfect example of a fun, catchy stoner band.

[Nepenthe]

They didn't become a stoner metal band in the 5 minutes since I told you before that they weren't.

[Niflheim]

Well, they are in no way traditional doom, so it is safe to say they are closer to the stoner doom side of things.

[Nepenthe]

They're much closer to traditional than they are stoner. They have much more in common with Sabbath and Witchfinder than Sleep and Om.

[Txus]

The Sword album is ok. End of the story.

[Niflheim]

Witchfinder were pretty much a proto-Stoner band anyways. When I think of Traditional Doom I think Candlemass and Pentagram, which The Sword have nothing in common with. I don't really care what you or whoever else classifys them as, they have a sound that isn't a stretch to be considered stoner doom. The vocals, sound of the guitars and riffing is quite similair to stoner doom.

[Nepenthe]

Mkay that's cool, but you're wrong.

[Niflheim]

No, im right. Either way, they're horrible.

[ATM]

Do you guys argue in every thread?

[pate]

I think so.

The Sword are extremely average, but also extremely popular. :mad:

[ATM]

They aren't bad, just not amazing.

[Nepenthe]

He says dumb things in every thread.

[Niflheim]

I speak with great truth and knowledge in every thread.

[Nepenthe]

We should argue about that.

[Niflheim]

Ok, go.

[Nepenthe]

Maybe later, I'm not in the mood right now. Keep that on our list of things to argue about.

[Silenius]

Do you guys argue in every thread?

No, you see Niflheim is simply trying to get us to see the truth. he knows everything and since we're all stupid he has to set us straight.

[Niflheim]

Yeah, im here to educate all the clueless people here.

[Shattered_Future]

Meh, The Sword bores the hell out of me. If I want Sabbath worship I'll listen to Sleep's Holy Mountain, thank you very much. :D

[Silenius]

Or you can just listen to Black Sabbath. :p

Yeah, im here to educate all the clueless people here.

Don't worry your work doesn't go unappreciated.

[Phototropic]

i find the sword boring, when i saw them live supporting clutch they were good, very powerful but they have no dynamics whatsoever so the whole

riff - fill - breakdown - halftime - back to first riff

gets really tiring after 2 songs, its like they use the same formula for every song, strange that they get more attention than other bands with more talent :(

[Niflheim]

Or you can just listen to Black Sabbath. :p



Don't worry your work doesn't go unappreciated.

I know, that is why I continue.

[metal-militia]

I also saw The Sword support Clutch. Everyone seemed to love them except me.

[AA-12]

It's not supposed to be original. And it's not supposed to be stoner either, it's a straight up, unoriginal, no thought involved doom album.

I surely hope nippleheim isn't talking about something he doesn't know anything about.

Exactly. It's good fun music.

[pate]

strange that they get more attention than other bands with more talent :(

And this is what pisses me off about them.

[Kage]

Since when does talent have anything to do with how much attention a band gets?

[ATM]

Sat Jun 23 Unsane

[Txus]

Yay!

[RetiredAt21]

Uhh...I don't know any of those bands. Just go, it might be cool.

[ATM]

That's what I was leaning towards. God, I love DC.

[Txus]

Mouth Of The Architect are a perfect live act :)

[pate]

Since when does talent have anything to do with how much attention a band gets?

This is what pisses me off about things in general.

[Nepenthe]

You shouldn't be pissed off by such trivial things as that, it'll give you an early anuerism.

Mouth Of The Architect is the only one I've heard, they're pretty big. They're not amazing or anything, but they're definitely worth $10.

[Txus]

You need to see them live...****ing ace.

[Nepenthe]

They're pretty boring on album.

[Kage]

The Worm is the first post-_____ thing I heard a looooooong time ago. I was totally blown away by it. I mean holy ****. I DIDN'T know there was music like this. And so I kept searching out anything like it htat I could find.

[NemesisDivina]

I just can't shake Ahab. The Call of the Wretched Sea is just so good! I just got my Ahab shirt a few days ago.

Ace!

[repcak]

aaaahh... Ahab was the band i wanted to check out... thanks ^^

I'm getting their album off Oink at the moment, sounds good :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I just got it off Oink too, it took me a while actually. I kept disconnecting from the seeders. Haven't listened yet.

[ATM]

I can't get enough of We Live by Electric Wizard lately.

[metal-militia]

I can't get enough of We Live by Electric Wizard lately.

I never liked We live as much. I love the first 3 albums however. Come My Fanatics is something I play regularly at the moment.

[RetiredAt21]

Electric Wizard rules.

[pate]

Truth.

[halfdeadhippo]

I go back and forth between preferring We Live and Dopethrone. At the moment, it's Dopethrone, I'd say.

[NemesisDivina]

Electric Wizard is always great.

[NemesisDivina]

[pate]

Get on that.

[NemesisDivina]

yeah?
what style doom do they play?


whats the general feeling about diSEMBOWELMENT on this site?

[pate]

Bass-heavy stoner.

[NemesisDivina]

i like bass-heavy!

[RetiredAt21]

Me too.

[AA-12]

Me three

Electric Wizard = Awesome

[ATM]

I was listening to We Live and it zoned me out so bad when I was driving home from work the other day.

[RetiredAt21]

I'm listening to Kylesa. So good.

[the2stranger]

Some good ol' Mar De Grises for me.
Excellent doom/death from Peru.
Very powerfull, They should release a new album. :mad:

[metal-militia]

Does anyone here like Electric Wizard's self titled debut? It's quite different to the following albums but I like it just as much.

[Txus]

Do you have the Mar de Grises Demo, Peter?

[the2stranger]

No I don't, is it any good?

And it's such ashame that the vocalist/keyboardist left.
I think that's why they're takig such a long time for the new album, or I don't even know if they started writing actually. :-\

np: Jesu - Your Path To Divinity
\m/

[Txus]

Nice NP!

And the demo is pretty good, 2 new amazing songs. You should get it \m/

[pate]

So what are everyone's thoughts on the new Reverend Bizarre?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Isn't it supposed to be their final release? Shame that, I always thought they were one of, if not the best of the newer Trad Doom bands.

How is it?

edit: oh my god the name of it is ridiculous. III: So Long Suckers? ugh what the **** were they thinking?

[AA-12]

I haven't heard.

[Txus]

Me neither, I'll download it later today...hope it's good.

[pate]

It's really good, but it's just too ****ing long overall. 3 half-hour tracks, 3 15 minute tracks, and a couple short ones.

I mean, it's good, but like the first track, which is 30 minutes, has at least 20 of the same riff being played over and over, without vocals.

[Shattered_Future]

Yeah, that's what dragged it down for me. Too freaking long. And it's not put together well enough...songs have parts that go on for MUCH too long.

I'm making my way through it at the moment and I like it. I don't think it's as good as In the Rectory though. I'm glad I managed to catch theit last ever UK show, they were superb.

[Jondur]

I haven't heard it yet. I'll buy it when it's out though. While "In The Rectory" will always be their magnum opus, I think they've been consistently a great band for 10 years. They deserve all their sucess - they're good guys, bit strange maybe, but nice guys. I have good memories of the gigs I've done with them and the ones where I've just been drunk in the audience.

Best new doom band though? I don't think so. that would be Warning.

[RetiredAt21]

Anyone like Grief?

[Iron Bars]

Best new doom band though? I don't think so. that would be Warning.

NP: Warning - Faces

Best buy I did this year.

[AA-12]

Grivf

I still remember picking up the demo like a year ago. The most tormented, dark, evil, oppressing music i've ever heard.

Warning are good, but I still prefer Reverend Bizarre. Also I really enjoy the stuff I've heard from the Lamp of Thoth, I'll have to buy their demo.

I have Grief's Miserably Ever After and it's allright, nothing special.

So good.

[Nepenthe]

Grief rules. Torso is a killer album.

You heard Noosebomb?

[Txus]

Yep, Grief are pretty good.

Do you guys like Nebula? I bought an abum today and it's really good ****!

[NemesisDivina]

NP: October Tide- 12 Days of Rain

really cool stuff.

What's Big Business like? I'm seeing them tomorrow with Tool.

[Kage]

Noisy, especially live. It's distorted bass and drums. Pretty amusing, but you'll probably either love it or hate it depending on what you can get into.

[NemesisDivina]

I'm pretty tolerant of a lot of stuff. I'm gonna download an album from them just so I have a preview before I go to the show.

[pate]

I've heard of BB but never checked them out. They're a 2-piece, right?

[Kage]

Yeah. Ever heard Ruins?

[NemesisDivina]

I've heard of BB but never checked them out. They're a 2-piece, right?

yeah, both of their members are from the melvins

[pate]

Nope.

Yeah, I knew they joined the Melvins.

[Nepenthe]

I'm really torn on whether or not the newest Melvins is excellent or just sub par. It changes between the two every listen.

[NemesisDivina]

Whoa. I just d/led Big Business's album Here Come The Waterworks. So far it's really freakin' good.

lol, the singer kinda sounds like the singer from Type O Negative when he shouts

[pate]

Peter Steele FTW

[NemesisDivina]

Yeah, he's a pretty great songwriter, not to mention the driving force behind the band.

[pate]

Type O is okay, but Carnivore was epic.

[Jondur]

Also I really enjoy the stuff I've heard from the Lamp of Thoth, I'll have to buy their demo.


:thumb: good work that man! Whereabouts in Albion are you?

Anyway the Lamp will be releasing an EP very soon. I've heard a sample and it sounds ace!

Witchsorrow are also worth checking out.

In fact the UK has a great doom scene at the moment:

Warning
Solstice (back from the grave!)
The River
Unsilence
Witchsorrow
Cambian Dawn
Centurion's Ghost
Pagan Altar
Lamp of Thoth
Soloman Kane

not bad considering that 5 years ago there was maybe 2 bands playing proper doom

[RetiredAt21]

I never got what is so goddamn great about Carnivore. That is a band I just CANNOT get into. Ugh.

[Bartender]

Do you guys like Nebula? I bought an abum today and it's really good ****!

I picked up Atomic Ritual for a fiver a few years ago. It's enjoyable.

[Eliminator]

type o negative blow

[RetiredAt21]

For real. Bunch of fags.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I never got what is so goddamn great about Carnivore. That is a band I just CANNOT get into. Ugh.
They're alright. Nothing amazing really, just good solid thrashing.

[Dargon II]

carnivore sucks, too much hardcore influence

[RetiredAt21]

I don't think the hardcore influence has anything to do with. They just suck.

They're alright. Nothing amazing really, just good solid thrashing.

They don't even sound that heavy.

Grief rules. Torso is a killer album.

You heard Noosebomb?

Come To Grief is such a great album.

EDIT: Sorry about all of those posts... :(

[ATM]

Melvins rule, never question that.

[RetiredAt21]

I never got into the Melvins.

I'm from Bucks, live near Milton Keynes/Northampton

Yeah I saw they had an EP coming out, and listened to the stuff off the Miskatonic myspace which blew me away. I will be buying it as soon as it is out, cash permitting of course.
I'd love to see them in London in October with Pagan Altar and Warning, should be a great gig!

[Blashyrkh]

P.O.D. wouldn't be considered stoner metal would it? I almost got into a fight over it because I was saying it wasn't..

[RetiredAt21]

P.O.D. sucks, I think that's all that matters.

[Kage]

P.O.D has absolutely no relation to stoner metal in any way.

[RetiredAt21]

P.O.D has absolutely no relation to stoner metal in any way.

That too.

[Shattered_Future]

Yeah, whoever thought that must have **** for brains.

How are Soloman Kane? I almost got some stuff by them a few days ago...

Solstice is back?!?!?!

[Poofy 666]

Can someone tell me if the new Minsk is better than Out of a Center...?

NP: Katatonia - Velvet Thorns (of Drynwhyl)

[Nepenthe]

The new Minsk is better than almost anything ever made. Get it.

[metal-militia]

Solstice is back?!?!?!

Yep. Their albums have been reissued as well I think.

[pate]

Kickass!!!!
