Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[Luc214]

Anyone like 1000 Funerals?

[NemesisDivina]

Did you enjoy the album I sent you, Luc?

[Stormrider]

Last CD Before Doomsday is boring. Dooom isn't.

Ah, my bad. I will look out for Doom, then,.

[pate]

Last CD Before Doomsday is boring. Dooom isn't.

Fag, Last Tape Before Doomsday slays.

[Stormrider]

Not really.

[Luc214]

Did you enjoy the album I sent you, Luc?

If it was Portrait Of A Dream, then yes, very much. It's excellent.

[NemesisDivina]

If it was Portrait Of A Dream, then yes, very much. It's excellent.

Yep, I'm the one that sent you Portrait... it's pretty far removed from your typical doom band.

[Luc214]

Yep, I'm the one that sent you Portrait... it's pretty far removed from your typical doom band.

Not really, I listen to quite a bit of funeral doom. It reminded me a lot of Shape Of Despair, though not quite as good. Still great though.

[NemesisDivina]

Not really, I listen to quite a bit of funeral doom. It reminded me a lot of Shape Of Despair, though not quite as good. Still great though.

But they add so many elements to their music that you wouldn't find in any typical doom band... I haven't listened to Portrait of a Dream in a while, but yeah I still love it.

[Txus]

I picked The Curse of Candlemass over it.
You have a bad taste though :(

[pate]

At least I have taste.

[Txus]

</3

you're not sleeping with me tonight!

[pate]

Good, I just got rid of the crabs from the last time.

[Txus]

Hmmm, crabs...yummy!

[pate]

I prefer clams tbh.

[Txus]

I prefer whale c0ck

[Angmar]

Eww Seafood. :(

[G_Mac07]

:lol:

I'm listening to Revelation. It's awesome. I should listen to more Trad Doom than I do.

[ATM]

Revelation are so good.

I got one of the albums off the link you posted.

[pate]

Revelation slays

[Luc214]

Witchcraft is an awesome band.

[NemesisDivina]

Asbestos Death anyone?

Dejection, Unclean slays.

[Kage]

:lol: Asbestos Death. That's so absurd.

[NemesisDivina]

:lol: Asbestos Death. That's so absurd.

it's the band that would soon become the band you know as...

Sleep

[Kage]

Owned. :upset:

Still a stupid band name though. :-D

[NemesisDivina]

Owned. :upset:

Still a stupid band name though. :-D

heh, that's probably why they changed it :D

[Luc214]

Sleep is cool.

Dopesmoker is massive.

[Kage]

Sleep is cool.

Dopesmoker is massive.

Truth herein.



Also, this thread has gone far too long without talking about Om.

[Luc214]

I believe Om were just recently discussed in the Sludge/Post Metal thread. :lol:

[pate]

Witchcraft is an awesome band.

I loathe them.

[Luc214]

I loathe them.

WHY

[pate]

Uninspired
Boring

[Kage]

haha

[NemesisDivina]

Keeps it succinct, gets point across

[Luc214]

Uninspired
Boring

Which album(s) have you heard? Their last two are much better than their first one.

[pate]

Self-titled

[Luc214]

Well Firewood and The Alchemist are much better.

[pate]

Ahh

[Luc214]

I'll up them if you want.

Firewood steals a couple Sabbath riffs, but if you can overlook that I think it's awesome.

And The Alchemist (their new album) shows them really starting to develop their own sound rather than tending to mimick others.

[the2stranger]

W00t.
Some re-recorded Nadja albums and some brand new ones are on their way to me. :D

Anyone like Bitterdusk, if we're talking about trad doom?
Pretty sweet.

np: Nadja - Thaumogenesis

[Tng]

Doom education:

Albums you must own:

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, Nightfall
Revelation - Yet So Far
St Vitus - V
Solstice - New Dark Age
Solitude Aeturnus - Through The Darkest Hour
Trouble - The Skull

This really depends on what kind of doom you want to get into!!! These mentioned bands fall into the Traditional (St Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus) and Epic doom (Candlemass [some of you may argue with me on this one], Solstice). As for Revelation, I haven't heard that one. And Trouble fall's into the Stoner/doom category - probably -, with nice Rock'n'Roll/Feel good thing. although I only heard two albums...

If you want to listen to some "newer" Doom with a little Death metal (ie Doom/Death), then I would recommend: My Dying Bride (older), Anathema (old), Mourning Beloveth (the 'Sullen Sulcus' album is what I recommend to start with), Evoken (the new album just came out, it's wonderful), Ataraxie (these guys have only one album, but it's awesome. It borders Funeral Doom at some places, and has Death metal parts), AHAB (imagine Moby Dick, and Doom, and you'll get AHAB :), Disembowelment (Raw-raw Doom/Death, this band is actually one of the first Doom/death bands, beside Winter), Officium Triste. And some newer doom/death bands I listened to are: Before the Rain, The Drowning, Syrach, Eria d'Or, Imindain...

In about 1990-1991 Doom metal spawned another subgenre Funeral Doom (probably one of my favorite subgenre :naughty: ). These bands focused more on emotions (emotions being mainly about Depression), and not the music (although this can be sad for Doom/death, but I think it's a bit less present. You're welcome to argue!). Some cult Funeral bands are: Thergothon, Skepticism and Funeral (Norway). But if i where someone that was new to Funeral Doom, I wouldn't start with these bands! And some of the "easy" listening funeral doom bands are: Shape Of Despair (the most well known funeral doom band) (start with Angels of distress), Longing for Dawn (ambiental Funeral Doom!), Nortt (Black Funeral doom), Tyranny (Great atmosphere), Wreck of the Hesperus, Colosseum, Wijlen Wij, Worship...

Other Subcategories are: Gothic/Doom (My dying Bride [newer], Novembre?), Avantgarde doom (Esoteric), Epic Doom (Isole), Sludge doom (Crowbar), Drone doom (Sunn O))) ), Black doom (Nortt)..........

and there are a lot of GREAT doom bands: something I urge you to buy despite what I sad above is: Warning Watching From a Distance (a combination of Funeral and Epic Doom). Just listen to it once! You will not regret it! (this goes for not just doom metal fans, not just metal fans, but for music lovers in general) general!!!)

and now as for who is my favorite Stoner/doom band: it is Wall of Sleep from Hungary who incorporate lot of groovy stuff in their music!

pfewww

Cheers TnG

[the2stranger]

Nice taste. \m/
Funeral doom and ambient drone rock.

Thanks :p

[repcak]

that was a impressive list of doom bands if you ask me...

i still only listen to death doom (My Dying Bride, old Anathema and old Katatonia) or just funeral doom a la Shape of Despair and of course SunnO))) which i saw already live a year ago :D

:eek: :)

reps for mentioning Funeral (who don't get a lot of recognition) and Mourning Beloveth (who also don't).

Though I would classify Esoteric as Funeral Doom, they definitely are more experimental.

A couple great Funeral Doom bands I would like to add to this list are Torture Wheel and Wraith Of The Ropes.

[Nostalgia]

Have any of you guys heard Imindain? I think I got their CD with The Monad of Creation off Ebay.

Their full-length is great.

[RetiredAt21]

Mournful Congregation rules.

[Luc214]

Pate I send you that Witchcraft. You'd better like it.

[pate]

Thanks

[Brew]

Witchcraft is an awesome band.

Witchcraft are pretty cool, I bought 'If Crimson Was Your Colour' on green 7" a few weeks ago.

Edit: just found some Kyuss on my girlfriends laptop *listens*

[Luc214]

Oh pate, could you send me Wrath of Ragnarok's Deflagration?

[Tng]

the2stranger: Nice Avatar... you don't want me to start talking about Arcturus. They are fabulous... Sideshow Symphonies is probably my favorite albums of all time (in the NOT doom genre). A great drummer, with great musicians, and great atmosphere, and wonderful music. Don't get me wrong, the album isn't perfect, but I think a not perfect album is much more enjoyable, then a perfect one!

Oh yeah and just so you people know, the mastermind behind arcturus (keyboardist), has a side project called Spiral Architect... and this music IS crazy! People who like progressive music, with a lot of other genre influences (but it's mostly metal), I urge you to check it out! oh, and it's not the usual Dream theater Prog, trust me!!!
(ok, this was a bit of topic) :(

repcak: Personally, I don't like Sunn O))) . But I hear that there music live is totally different then on records! So, if i have a chance, then i will check them out live!
Can you tell me you're experience from the concert???

Luc214: Yes, Funeral is a great band! the earlier albums (Tristesse, and Tragedies) are cult stuff, and hard to find! There bassist, Einar Andre Fredriksen, was/is and idol for me, in some strange way... it sadeness (not sure, how this is written) me that he commited suicide :'( .
And I think Mourning Beloveth have a lot of recognition in the underground scene (mostly, or almost only among doom fans). Don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of talented doom bands, who don't get even that. Doom bands who only played in their country (in a 150km radius), and have world wide fans, just because their music can be downloaded through the internet... Such a band would be The River for example... (I really don't know if downloading music is a "good" or "bad" thing)

Nostalgia: Yes, Imindain is a great band, but I don't like the drums :) (yes, I'm a drummer! :D )


OK... Epic doom! Well I don't know precisely, where it began, but that's not the point. As in any doom subgenre, epic doom also concentrates on atmosphere, although a bit differently. To tell the truth it's a bit confusing for me too, since there are a lot of bands like: Solstice, Doomsword... who concentrate their music on Power metal themes (Dragons, battles and stuff). and then there are bands who concentrate more on emotions, struggles, inner battles... these would be: Warning (as I mentioned in my last post), Lamented Souls (you guys probably don't even know this, but vocal duties are carried out by, none other then Simen Hestnaes from Dimmu Borgir... you know the bassist with are really awesome voice... well in lamented souls it only gets better), Isole (also a great band from Sweden, and they have an album coming out in early 2008. Can't wait! Check out their second album: Throne of Void!), Morgion (unfortunately they disbanded in 2004 or 2005, not sure, anyway they had a little different recipe, than the other doom bands, but still very epic, and atmospheric as HELL!), Raven Black Night (they are mosly heavy metal, with a some doom - epic doom - influences... but nevertheless still great)... Anyway as you can figure out, there are 2 common types of Epic doom... Anyway you choose what you like!

Oh, and I forgot about another important band: The 3rd and the Mortal ... they probably fall into the gothic/doom category. and a lot of newer bands try to copy them (not only doom bands). For me the Tears Laid in Earth (1994) by The 3rd and the Mortal, and Autumnal's - Grey Universe (2006) have a lot in common! (You're welcome for a battle on this one! :))) )

OK...

Cheers!

PS: there is a doom metal community, if you want to, check it out... you can find some info, news, articles, reviews... there: www.doom-metal.com

[Txus]

You are the first guy in here to talk about The 3rd and the Mortal, they kick major ***. It's not my favorite type of doom but they are a total exception. You listen to some really good bands. Do you like Minotauri?

[Tng]

I listened to them once... nothing special in my opinion, but that's cause i'm not a huge trad. doom fan... I like mostly the newer doom styles! Count from 1990 till present...

PS: you have a great avatar! Is that you?

[Txus]

Haha, I wish...it's Nathan Weaver from Wolves in the Throne Room. Do you like Burning Witch? I've been listening to them a lot lately, Stephen is so ****ing great in that band! such a shame they only released 1 album.

[Silenius]

I just got Nadja - Radiance of Shadows, pretty cool stuff.

[Luc214]

Haha, I wish...it's Nathan Weaver from Wolves in the Throne Room. Do you like Burning Witch? I've been listening to them a lot lately, Stephen is so ****ing great in that band! such a shame they only released 1 album.

Burning Witch is ****in great.

And I've heard of The 3rd And The Mortal, but haven't had a chance to check them out yet.

I believe Atrox's vocalist's sister is in them.

[Txus]

Yeah, they are amazing.

Nadja is ****ing ace but I kind of prefer The Angelic Process.

[Luc214]

Does anyone like Thee Plague Of Gentlemen?

Heavy as ****.

[Txus]

I really like their album.

[pate]

Oh pate, could you send me Wrath of Ragnarok's Deflagration?

Sure thing, but get ready for some shitty vocals.

[Txus]

and music...

[Shattered_Future]

And production...

[pate]

and lyrics

[Luc214]

I'm just curious as I've only heard Pouring.

Did you like the Witchcraft at all?

And this new Evoken is ace.

[Luc214]

I rather like this Lee. :)

Except I wish you would actually sing more.

Or maybe growl.

[7SOR]

Ahh there's no way I'm going to be able to sleep soundly falling asleep to the new Evoken.

Bring on the traumatizing nightmares.

[ATM]

Listened to Nadja's Guilted By the Sun while at work today, and it blew me away.

[pate]

I rather like this Lee. :)

Except I wish you would actually sing more.

Or maybe growl.

Hehe thanks. It was an experiment with the vocals, and it failed horribly. We'll be doing another album in late '08/early '09, and it will have like all singing.

[ATM]

Would I like the album, Pate?

[pate]

hmmm...It's not as elite Maryland doom as you're used to, but you might. Email?

[ATM]

baerwitness@yahoo.com

it better be elite

[pate]

Riffs are elite, vocals are not, drums are not. Sent :p

[ATM]

Thanks man.

[Luc214]

The drums aren't bad, and the vocals are good when they're sung.

But yeah the riffs are perfect.

[pate]

I'd been playing drums for like 4 weeks when that was recorded, so I'm pretty wary of their quality. Hehe. It's basically just intended to be a riff/guitarfest.

[guitrguy]

You're also an Arcturus fan?
Great taste. :thumb:
I think The Sham Mirrors is my favorite, but actually all of their stuff is great.
Too bad they broke up.
But atleast I got to see them and shaked hands with some members. :)

I just got Nadja - Radiance of Shadows, pretty cool stuff.
Good stuff.
It's a good release. I live the firsttrack.
I think the accoustic dissonant guitar stuff on the title track is a bit annoying. but once it breaks loose it's great.
Like ambient drone meets black metal.

np: Doom:Vs - The Faded Earth
This is very good stuff actually.:)

AlienEater: What kind of Doom???

the2stranger: Arcturus equals a god. They are fantastic. And from what I know they had one or two brake ups before... soo i'm hoping (really hoping) they will reform again! and continue... it would be a waste.
I only watched the shipwrecked in Oslo... and that's great stuff... although Hellhammer (drummer), made some smaller mistakes, which is a bit odd... I thought he was a machine... guess not! (or maybe drunken machines make mistakes???) hehe

TnG

[Shattered_Future]

Man, I just found this new doom band called God's Tower. They're not new (I think this album is from '97), but it's great traditional doom. I think they're billed as Pagan Doom Metal, but it's killer.

[pate]

Pate, your riffs ****ing rule. I like how you made it so obvious that you wanted to emphasize the guitars. The drums and vocals are pretty low in the mix.

Listening to Wraht of Ragnarok now. This sounds a lot betten then the other album I heard from you guys Pate. Guitars are really nice instead of al over the place. Keep it up.

[C.O.A.]

Does Gorilla Monsoon belong in here?

[the2stranger]

I listened to thenew song on your Myspace Pate.
It's nice, except for the vocals. But no need to rub it in I guess.
It's not bad, but more actual singing would improve it. :)

Keep up the good work.
DOOM ON!!!

[pate]

Thanks to everybody. :p

[G_Mac07]

Any of you guys like Tiamat? I have Clouds and it's really good.

Riva suggested that I get Wildhoney ages and ages ago. I tried but my net failed at the time and I never got around to it after. I must get around to it, so thanks for the memory jog.

[Eliminator]

wildhoney is good but he lyrics are pretty terrible

They have a couple of good albums, Wildhoney is definitely the best.

Haha, that looks pretty good. Did you use a roller? If not, that's even better with just using your hands. It seems compact as well, which I've noticed saves the most weed when burned.

You could invest in a roller though, they're really worth it. I believe they're like $2.50 here and they help a lot. Overall that should burn fine, 'cause I've rolled much worse and they've worked fine.

looks pretty good,you should strengthen the 'tip' by making a jerkoff-like move on a hard surface with the joint after rolling it (your knuckle might do). Also, try to roll more tightly, but that's mostly practice. Oh and when (if) you further in "rolling skills" you could try new kinds of leaves (my fav are Golden Smokings)

Let me know if you have tickets and stuff. we could drink a beer together on the festival. :cool:

W00t.
I missed Nadja in the beginning of this year, but I'll get another chance. :D

[Phototropic]

I missed Nadja in the beginning of this year, but I'll get another chance. :D

hell yeah man, will try to sort tickets soon as possible!

i expect lots of giant spliffs in holland, i'll be sorely dissapointed if theres none :p

[the2stranger]

There'll be plenty. Trust me.
Dutch weed is the best thing in the world.
Although I've stopped smoking some years ago.

[Iron Bars]

Tickets are already available at 58 euros + 4,50 for all three days.

Bit expesive but for that line-up it would be worth thinking about going anyway.

[Txus]

I would pay up to 200 bucks to see most of those bands.

[Phototropic]

awesome!! can't wait for that then :)

[the2stranger]

I think it's a pretty nice price.
Look at how many bands are coming and quite a few big names too.

[AlienEater]

wow good line up

isis amt electric wizard jesu om the heads boris cult of luna

I would go if I could

[pate]

Luc, you were right, The Alchemist is a shitload better than the s/t.

[ATM]

The Alchemist is quality.

[pate]

Indeed, and yay @ your av. That is the classic ATM av.

[NemesisDivina]

:( he got rid of his dancing elephant.

oh how i loved the dancing elephant

[pate]

This one is old school, so you wouldn't know it. He had this av when you were a fetus.

[ATM]

hahaha

[NemesisDivina]

Is that Liv Tyler?

[ATM]

Yes.

[NemesisDivina]

Hot :thumb:

[pate]

*Hat

[Kage]

Why was that so funny?

[the2stranger]

I'm wondering if anyone could hook me up with the new Worship.
I can't find it anywhere, but I hear everyone raving about it.

peter_time (at) hotmail.com
Thanks.

[Nostalgia]

THAT ALBUM SUCKS

:p

I'll get ya' a link. :)

[the2stranger]

:lol:
Yeah, you told so many horrible things about the album, so I decided I had to check it out. :p

Thanks Austin!
DOOOM!

[NemesisDivina]

Austin, could you send me that Doom:VS that you've been talking about a lot lately? I think I missed out on the sign up.

SymbolicActs @ yahoo.com

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, no problem. :)

[NemesisDivina]

Yeah, you sent it into Vince's radio show, and I heard it on there and I was really surprised. It sounded damn good.

[ATM]

Could I get that, too?

baerwitness@yahoo.com

;D

[Nostalgia]

Okay, sent to both. :)

[Slaapkamers]

doom:vs ith tho gay

[G_Mac07]

Nah...

[ATM]

Thanks Austin!

[Luc214]

Downloading the new Worship.

This will be my first experience with the band.

And the cover is ****ing awesome.

[rasputin]

Nostaliga, would you be able to send that Worship album to me as well?

edit: almost forgot to give you my email :P
berkay_is@hotmail.com

[G_Mac07]

Downloading the new Worship.

And the cover is ****ing awesome.

I'm expecting the album art to be quite good on this release, as the distro I've purchased it through is selling it more expensive than the rest of their stock. Apparently it's due to the wholesale rate they paid for it, which was due to it's "exotic layout".

I'll see when it arrives I suppose.

[RetiredAt21]

Does anyone like Black Bile?

[Nostalgia]

I just got my copy of The Monad of Creation. Definitely glad I bought this album - the artwork is fantastic. Next to every lyrical section there's a really cool picture to every song.

Really awesome.

[RetiredAt21]

Mournful Congregation is so ****ing good.

[G_Mac07]

MC are currently in discussion with a particularly awesome label about doing a show in my city. I can actually see it happening too. :D

Anyone heard the split they did with Stone Wings yet? I'm yet to recieve my copy. :upset:

Does anyone like Black Bile?

Negative. What're they like?

EDIT: Cloacal Meditation has been plundered. Will listen when my current album finishes.

[ATM]

Any fans of Sons of Otis?

[Kage]

Sons of Otis are tight.

[the2stranger]

Listening to soe Forgotten Tomb.
I love the connections to early Katatonia and Burzum in the guitar work.
Damn tis **** is good.

Any other fans?

np: Forgotten Tomb - Todestrieb

[G_Mac07]

I love Forgotten Tomb. Songs To Leave and Springtime Depression are excellent albums. Negative Megalomania is average at best, and I've not heard the other stuff.

I really should check out early Katatonia. I keep seeing them come up in comparison to other things I listen to, but I've never given them a go besides The Great Cold Distance. I thought it was boring.

[Kage]

Hey ATM do you have Sons of Otis' split with Queen Elephantine?

[the2stranger]

I love Forgotten Tomb. Songs To Leave and Springtime Depression are excellent albums. Negative Megalomania is average at best, and I've not heard the other stuff.

Exaxctly my opinion!
Great music for the approaching winter we have here.

Any Church Of Misery fans?

[G_Mac07]

I edited a comment about Katatonia in as well up there.

Also,

Retired; I gave Black Bile a listen. Quite good on the first listen. I was actually listening to Elysian Blaze prior to it and they are very similar in what they are doing. Some different tones there, I guess, but if you like Black Bile then you'd probably like Elysian Blaze as well. May I suggest you obtain Levitating The Carnal for more of that Black/Funeral Doom type stuff, with a little clearer production.

[the2stranger]

I really should check out early Katatonia. I keep seeing them come up in comparison to other things I listen to, but I've never given them a go besides The Great Cold Distance. I thought it was boring.

The new stuff is nothing like the old.
The old stuff (first album) is depresive black, the stuff after is doom/death and after that they evolved in to the more shoe gaze-ish/depressive rock sound they have now.
Dance Of December Souls and Brave Murder Day are highly recommended.

[Shattered_Future]

Call me crazy, but isn't shoegaze the complete opposite of what Katatonia sound like? :confused:

[ATM]

Hey ATM do you have Sons of Otis' split with Queen Elephantine?

No, any good?

Also, I love Church of Misery. I only have one album but I need more.

[pate]

Listening to soe Forgotten Tomb.

I like them, and I even like the new one.

[the2stranger]

Call me crazy, but isn't shoegaze the complete opposite of what Katatonia sound like? :confused:

Not exactly the opposite, but they do have some shoegaze elements to their sound.
It's quite difficult to categorize the new Katatonia under just one genre. :-\

Pate:
I wasn't keen on the clean vocals on the new release.
You like them?

[pate]

I tend to just go with "good"

[the2stranger]

I was browsing through my music library for an album to play and stumbled upon Oktober Tide, it's been a while since I've played them.
Excellent music, especially with this weather/season.

np: 12 Days Of Rain

Too bad they broke up.

[Txus]

Sons of Otis are tight.
**** yeah! I need that split though :(

NP: Acid Mothers Temple And The Cosmic Inferno - OM Riff from The Cosmic Inferno :cool:

[Luc214]

I'm np the new Worship.

[the2stranger]

Nice.

I'm playing some Nadja, surprise, surprise. ;)

Anyway: I recieved some nice doom related CDs today:
Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed
Corrupted - Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos
Fallen - A Tragedy's Bitter End (limited to 1000 copies :))

[Txus]

I bought OM's discography :)

[the2stranger]

Good job.
:smoke:

I hadn't bought any CDs for some time, feels good to buy them now though.
Nothing like recieiving them, opening them up, smelling them, playing the CD and reading the lyrics/booklet.

[ZapatoDiablo]

Good job.
:smoke:

I hadn't bought any CDs for some time, feels good to buy them now though.
Nothing like recieiving them, opening them up, smelling them, playing the CD and reading the lyrics/booklet.
Haha that's the first thing I always do too is smell the booklet.

[the2stranger]

There's always this special smell.
I can't help it.
I love smelling CDs. :p

Funny that you do the same.

np: Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed (song)
:smoke:

[guitrguy]

Rofl, I have never smelled my CDs.

[Txus]

You smelled my ***, faggot.

[Kage]

Smelling a new CD booklet is pretty cool.

[guitrguy]

You smelled my ***, faggot.

I was high on crack, give me a break.

[pate]

np: Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed (song)
:smoke:

That album owns.

[Txus]

I prefer the older one.

[NemesisDivina]

Katatonia talk itt.



AWESOME!!

Dance of December Souls is absolutely amazing. It was playing over and over for quite some time on my computer/iPod. Anyone who doesn't have it, get it NOW.

[TojesDolan]

I have viva emptiness and uh something else

[Kage]

Katatonia talk itt.



AWESOME!!

Dance of December Souls is absolutely amazing. It was playing over and over for quite some time on my computer/iPod. Anyone who doesn't have it, get it NOW.
Do you like their newer albums as well?

[NemesisDivina]

I need to listen to them, I was only recently introduced to Katatonia.

[Kage]

Get on AIM then.

[pate]

Newer is better, despite how good the first two are.

[Angmar]

Guys one of my friends told me to listen to Pagan Altar, is this a good decision?

[Nostalgia]

Absolutely.

[Angmar]

Is there a certain album I should start with? Or should I just buck up and get everything.

I saw one of their albums get a review on MA and it sounded excellent.

[pate]

I only have Volume 1, and it's great. So I say start there.

And I'm assuming you already know and hail Witchfinder General, because if not, you should go to them first.

[Slaapkamers]

boobies

[Luc214]

So the new Worship is immense.

:)

[Iron Bars]

Guys one of my friends told me to listen to Pagan Altar, is this a good decision?

Mythical & Magical is better then Volume One, 20 years of songwriting did these guys good.

[Jondur]

Well just to be awkward 'Lords of Hypocrisy' is my favourite!

*Controversial statement alert!*

I'd put Pagan Altar on a par with Witchfinder General!

[Phototropic]

yesterday i bought

Om - Pilgrimage
Neurosis - The Eye of every storm

digging both of what I've heard so far

had Om on before i went to sleep, was in my own little world for the first track and then a few minutes into the second track i almost farted a load out when it went super fuzzy loud!!

:p haha

[repcak]

Katatonia talk itt.



AWESOME!!

Dance of December Souls is absolutely amazing. It was playing over and over for quite some time on my computer/iPod. Anyone who doesn't have it, get it NOW.

one of my favourite Death-doom albums!

Brave Murder Day
Dance of December Souls (those screams... :eek: just amazing!!!)

and of course the old Anathema albums like Serenades and Pentecost!

[rasputin]

dance of december souls is good, but not that good

[repcak]

i love it :p

[Angmar]

Yeah, it's incredible.

[pate]

*Controversial statement alert!*

I'd put Pagan Altar on a par with Witchfinder General!

I respect that, but disagree.

[Cocaine]

Neurosis - The Eye of every storm
:p haha

One of my favourite post sludgy whatever metal albums. Probably would put it in that thread but whatever.

It's my second favourite Neurosis right now, but it's probably tied with Through Silver in Blood overall. I just love how contrasted it is to their really heavy stuff.

[Iron Bars]

I love Pagan Altar, but I listened to Witchfinder General once and never really got them. I'll put that on my to do list.

I'm expecting a lot.

The Eye of Every Storm is my favourite Neurosis album, after The Sun That Never Sets

[Wodk08]

Baroness is pretty cool, also a band called Year of No Light from France is great also.

[RetiredAt21]

Noothgrush, anyone?

[pate]

Toothbrush?

[RetiredAt21]

Funny, but no. NOOTHGRUSH.

[ATM]

I've got an album of theirs, its pretty solid.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Noothgrush. Worst name ever.

[RetiredAt21]

Hell yes.

[Kage]

Can we go a page in any sludge/doom metal thread without you mentioning Noothgrush?

[ATM]

Kage, would you be able to upload the Sons of Otis split?

[Kage]

Yeah, sure thing.

[ATM]

Thanks man.

:p haha

The new Om is immense, it's my second favorite album of theirs right now. Conference of the Birds is just above it. I like the artwork too. I ordered/recieved that album about a month ago.

[ATM]

Seeing them live was immense.

Especially because right before they came on I went to go smoke a couple bowls :D

[Kage]

Dang, that sounds amazing. Hell, the sound guy played their new album on the system before Boris came on and that was immense enough!

[NemesisDivina]

Damn you! I'm so jealous of you for seeing them live. What kills me even more is that they even came to Chicago. But of course... they played at a 21+ venue. Which, sadly, is something that a lot of bands are doing nowadays.

[ATM]

I wanted to buy Holy Mountain on vinyl :-x

The bass tone live was ridiculous. My ears were ringing so bad for 3 days.

[NemesisDivina]

I think I would poo my pants with Om's live bass sound.

[ATM]

The best part was the drunk metalhead who was trying to head bang but kept wobbling and almost falling over.

[Rickabobaloey]

I'm just now getting into this type of music.

A friend lent me the following;

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Can’t remember which album.
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Sleep - Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker

I already listened to Neurosis and ISIS although the latter I’m not really sure falls into the category even though it’s great to get stoned to. :thumb:

[Kage]

Nice list, you're off to a great start except that Godspeed You Black Emperor doesn't really fit with this.

[guitrguy]

Dopethrone is also a good start.

[ATM]

My friend Ben ruined Kyuss for me completely.

[Kage]

How?

[NemesisDivina]

How so? Please tell.

EDIT: ****!!

[ATM]

He just played non-stop Kyuss for 8 hours every day at work.

It got a little better when I showed him Pandora, but of course the first thing he did was make a Kyuss radio station.

[Rickabobaloey]

The Godspeed You! was just in with the mix, which is why I assumed it might fit into the genre. Is it what would be more classified as the post-rock, or post-metal (I'm not that up to date on genre names)?

Oh! I almost forgot Monster Magnet in that list, he let me borrow Monolithic Baby! too. Which I've not listened to as much as the others, I'm feeling Sleep and Electric Wizard more.

What are some other bands you guys suggest I should check out?

[ATM]

Om
Nadja
Back When
Men In Search of the Perfect Weapon
Fistula
Neurosis
Isis
Cathedral
Pagan Altar
Boris

[RetiredAt21]

Can we go a page in any sludge/doom metal thread without you mentioning Noothgrush?

No.

[Luc214]

ROFL ATM for a split second I could swear I saw Finntroll in that list. :lol:

[ATM]

I'm one of the few on MX who likes Finntroll :P

[Angmar]

I'm one of the few on MX who likes Finntroll :P

:hi5:

I'm ashamed but yes...

[ATM]

I'm not ashamed, they are fun to listen to once in awhile.

[Rickabobaloey]

I'm going to have to say that Sleep’s Holy Mountain was much more preferable than Dopesmoker. The hour and few odd minutes song started droning on, with no breaks for the performers or listeners. I'd have to say though, it'd be pretty awesome to see and hear live.

[Luc214]

I'm one of the few on MX who likes Finntroll :P

Sweet me too. :)

Check out the bands I posted for you on the last page

:)

[Rickabobaloey]

I will. I'll either call up my friend in the morning and see if he has any of them, and if not I'll try and track them down on the internet but sometimes that seems a little too hit or miss to get good copies.

[malaise]

about to get my first listen of Electric Wizard. What should I expect?

[Rickabobaloey]

I've only heard their one album, Dopethrone and I found it's great music to zone out to and just nod your head with it. The lyrics are muddled and distorted, but it's not a bad thing it actually creates the atmosphere along with the sludgy simplistic riffs on guitar. It's really quite good, actually.

[ATM]

Have you guys heard Beehoover?

[G_Mac07]

I never got into Electric Wizard. I heard Dopethrone a few years ago and thought it was boring. Perhaps I should give it another go, as at the time the only Doom I really liked was Candlemass and everyone seems to love that album.

NP: The Epitome Of Gods and Men Alike

[Txus]

Have you guys heard Beehoover?

I've heard and I like :)
