Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[ATM]

I've heard and I like :)

Really cool stuff, I guess 2 of the members are from some German doom band called Voodooshock so they definitely incorporate that into their music.

Any fans of Dead Meadow?

[Txus]

I don't know how many albums they have but the one I own is ****ing great, they remind me of Toner Low at times.

[ATM]

I'm listening to Howls From the Hills.

I actually saw their guitar player open for Boris which was awesome.

[Nuke Broadcast]

toner low, aye. shame they dont release too many full length stuff.

[Rickabobaloey]

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

:)

I'm trying, and I guess I've no luck when it comes to finding music that's pretty obscure.

My friend has OM Pilgrimage but he's at work until tomorrow. Would it be possible for you to send me links in my e-mail again like you did earlier?

Any of the rest that you mentioned earlier too if you have them.

[Nostalgia]

Anyone know any good music to get high and listen to?

Try searching albums on there.

I just have two Dead Meadow albums, but they are awesome.

[Rickabobaloey]

http://blogsearch.google.com/

Try searching albums on there.

Ohh, nice link there. I usually use google to search, but I didn't think of having it search through the blogs section.

I was able to find a link that way for the OM CD, as well as Cathedral's Caravan Beyond Redemption and Boris Rainbow.

I think I should be set with new things to listen to now.

Thanks for everything Arrest. :chug:

[Cocaine]

I'm loving this Worship so far actually Austin. So take that.

I mean it's still a little odd for me at parts because I've listened to very little Funeral Doom but it seems to do things very, very excellently. I'll take a while to absorb it but so far it's shaping up wonderfully.

I might even review it if I can get a good enough feel for it; I want to do it justice while still coming in as someone not too experienced, but I dont want to sound like an ignorant jackass.

[Nostalgia]

You're just liking it to spite me!!!

[Cocaine]

You're just liking it to spite me!!!

Nah man seriously it's good. It doesn't draw itself out to hit some boring predictable climax and it's paced effectively.

[the2stranger]

I should write soe more reviews too.
It was aways nice and it helps people out.

But which album?
We'll see.

[Cocaine]

Why not Nadja? They havent been covered and you're clearly passionate about them. I mean you did one album but yeah, they have more right?

And I totally didnt know they were from here. Now I have to check them out.

[the2stranger]

I did one Nadja review once.
I wasnt overly happy with it.
Maybe I shoudl modify it some and yes they have plenty of other albums to review. :p

Nadja are from Canada yes, chances you might see Adien Baker (main composer) somewhere as he plays a lot with orchersta, his own bands and does poetry stuff.

[Iron Bars]

I've been listening to Church of Misery's Master of brutality album these past 2 days. Great music, better guitar leads.

Anyone hear the new Boris and Merzbow live album?

[the2stranger]

Nope, any good?

Looking forward to seeing Boris on Roadburn. :D

[Cocaine]

Nadja are from Canada
I mean Toronto though. Canada is massive :P They're from my city.

[the2stranger]

Yeah, Canada is pretty massive indeed.
Even more form me, coming from a tiny country.
I think my ountry is smaller then your smallest county. :lol:

[Iron Bars]

Nope, any good?

Looking forward to seeing Boris on Roadburn. :D

I want to go to Roadburn but I don't think I have the money for it.

Also 11-02-08 Municipal Waste in 013 which would be nice to go to, too.

[the2stranger]

58 euros isn't too bad for a 2 day festival.
I'll be buying my ticket tomorrow.

[Iron Bars]

I hope it doesn't sell out as quick as last year so I can think about it some more.

NP: Black Sabbath - War Pigs

[repcak]

how about an Ahab review?

[the2stranger]

Didn't I do that already?
/Thinks.

EDIT:
Done it already, albeit it's a bit short.

[Shattered_Future]

This is not cool. Searching for Nadja and Worship both brought up 500 porn links on isohunt. :lol:

[the2stranger]

:-\

That's pretty wrong. :lol:

Alright, I just posted a new review, first one since a long long tie, so please don't be too harsh. :p
Go to the site and see if you can pick it out. <_<

[G_Mac07]

I'm going to have to check Fallen out after reading that. The thought of Funeral Doom without growled vocals intrigues me. You make it sound like good stuff though. :thumb:

[the2stranger]

Thanks.
It really is.
Still the vocals are so low. :p

The album is very well produced. thick and atmospheric.
The way I like it.

If you can't find it, let me know, I'll hook you up.

[Phototropic]

i know some of you dig bomb the sun

my band are playing with them next week

hope some of you south wales dwellers can make it!! be great to hook up yes :wave:

[ATM]

I'm getting some Ahab now. Still haven't heard

:-x

I need some Angelic Process too

[Kage]

Ahab kind of sucks.

[Luc214]

Ahab are phenomenal.

They need a new record badly.

**** you Kyle.

[Slaapkamers]

ahab have good things but theyre kind of boring

[ATM]

Winter is the best time for doom.

[Stormrider]

ahab have good things but theyre kind of boring

This. I never got through the whole album in one listening.

[Luc214]

The first 3 songs are amazing. I think the last two are actually from their demo/ep thing.

[Shattered_Future]

I can't listen to Ahab for more than 2 songs...

[Angmar]

I can listen to the whole thing all the way through just fine...

[Slaapkamers]

the pacific is the best song

[pate]

I can't listen to Ahab for more than 2 songs...

Me too. Problem is 2 songs is 700 minutes later.

[Nostalgia]

You listen to the 3 or so albums I sent you Lee?!

[pate]

The Loss and ...other one?

Yes, Loss was good, and other one wasn't as good.


And I haven't downloaded Wothan yet.


What the hell was that other one?

[ATM]

I want to hear some Worship. You got a link handy, Austin?

[G_Mac07]

And I haven't downloaded Wothan yet.

Heh, I have the Wothan sitting on my desktop from when Austin posted it. Still haven't listened to it though. Kind of lost interest in it when I found out it was a high recommendation or something. :lol:

EDIT: I just found a link to the Worship/Loss split. Sexcellent.

[Rickabobaloey]

OM Pilgrimage is fantastic. Jumps into the top 5 albums of 2007 easily. It's got such an amazing atmosphere that's different from anything I've heard before in the genre. It's almost got an otherworldly feel, and the contrast between the soft vocals and the gloomy music creates a sort of 'inner peace' feeling that erupts from chaos. Make sense to anyone else? This is going to be an album I listen to for a very long time to come.

Sun O))) Black One is very intense, and haunting sounding. I enjoyed it, and it's definitely worth another listen but it may be too dark for me.

[Angmar]

Sunn O))) would be just a bit better if they got someone besides ****ing maelfic to do vocals, and only a bit better.

[Rickabobaloey]

I'm not sure who maelfic is (well besides being the bands singer), as I'm still pretty new to this genre and its bands.

[Angmar]

Maelfic is Xasthurs' 1 man member, I despise his vocals.

[Nostalgia]

EDIT: I just found a link to the Worship/Loss split. Sexcellent.


**** dude, send that please.

[Angmar]

Austin, remember the days when you were the resident Funeral Doom hater? :p

Might be going to see the Sword on Wednesday haha

I'm not expecting much, just a chance to drink some beers with a friend I havent seen in awhile.

[Txus]

I can't stand that band.

[ATM]

Haha yea, I'm not huge on them. But it should be fun anyway.

[NemesisDivina]

The Sword would be fun to see live. I like a few songs off of Ages of Winters. They write some damn catchy riffs tbh... even though they're basically just ripping off of Sabbath.

[Txus]

I've been listening a lot of Sabbath lately....and Dopethrone

[pate]

I listen to Sabbath almost non-stop, but it's all Tony Martin era.

[ATM]

The Sword are playing with Valient Thorr and Black Cobra. Anyone heard anything about them?

[NemesisDivina]

I've heard a few songs by Valient Thorr, they're decent. If anything, they should be fun to drink to.

[ATM]

Hey Nemesis, remember that Zoroaster I sent a month or two back?

Seeing them in Feb :D

[NemesisDivina]

Oooh!! That sounds awesome, I bet they would put on an intense live show. I'm gonna go check out their tour dates in fact...

[ATM]

Yea, they just released the Feb. dates.

The cover for their s/t makes me happy:

http://www.beowolfproductions.com/Zoroaster-SelfTitled.jpg

[pate]

Zoroaster owns.

[NemesisDivina]

Awesome, they're gonna swing by Chicago on the 20th. I'll probably end up going to see them if I can convince my brother to go :cool:. I have to make sure this place isn't 21+ as well...

The only bad part is that it's on a school night. But whatever. I'll probably have my license by then too.

[pate]

What venue's it at?

[NemesisDivina]

The Note in Chicago (formerly The Blue Note). I just checked it out and it looks like a pretty awesome place... it's right on Milwaukee Ave.

It doesn't say anything about it being 21+ on the site, but I e-mailed the place just to make sure...

[Txus]

Black Cobra owns.

[pate]

I think it's a bar, so it'll be 21+. I'm not 100% though.

[NemesisDivina]

I think it's a bar, so it'll be 21+. I'm not 100% though.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well, but I'm hoping for just the opposite. They're playing with a band called Sourvein... anyone heard?

[ATM]

Sourvein are playing with them here, too. Never heard of them.

[NemesisDivina]

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=4710

They have members in Buzzov*en, Bongzilla and Weedeater.

[ATM]

:):):)

Sounds perfect.

[NemesisDivina]

All this Zoroaster talk spurred me on to listen to them some more.

Tualatin is such a kick-*** song.

[ATM]

From Sourvein's Myspace:

"see you on the road IN EUROPE/JAPAN/USA....bring weed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

:lol:

Looks like they are actually playing here on Dec 16th as well.

edit: you need to get zoroaster's s/t

[ATM]

Wow, Sourvein are actually awesome.

I downloaded a full length and a split with Church of Misery. They are playing on the 16th with a band called Murderjunkies and then with Zoroaster in February.

Badass. The only weird thing is that the show on the 16th is at 4pm haha

[Shattered_Future]

So wait, did Zoroaster put out another album, or is their s/t and Dog Magic one and the same?

If the former, I need that shiz.

[NemesisDivina]

The s/t is their Demo...

[Txus]

I need the demo.

ATM: 4:20 ftw

You are right!

What a great video, haha. I love both bands.

[rattlehead42147]

ok, i know next to nothing about Stoner metal, but i'm interested. i got Electric Wizard's Dopethrone about 2 weeks ago and have listened to it about 3 times, i love it. i don't really know who else to check out though. help?

as far as doom metal goes i've only found about 10 bands i like so far but a really good one that comes to mind is Pentagram. I have Be Forewarned and it is awesome. everyone here had probably heard the album but if not i recommend it.

[halfdeadhippo]

Get Bullhead by the Melvins, Heavy Rocks by Boris, and Sleep's Holy Mountain by Sleep, and that should tide you over for a while.

music is cool, but the vocals just make me think of ray romano...

Dude, you have any idea on what these mean:

Flaumen går,
i Noreg er vår,
bjørka sprett i dalom.
Dølakar
traust og hard
rydjer ferdregard.
Sjå kor det losnar i alle liom,
skreda fer etter bergesidom.
Flaumen går,
i Noreg er vår,
og dølan' er det som rår.

Asshole, now when I listen to them I'm going to think of that bundle of sticks.

The band's first offering for Southern Lord, Will to Mangle, was recorded and produced in San Francisco with high priest Billy Anderson (reknowned producer of Melvins, Eyehategod, Sleep, High on Fire, Neurosis etc..) at the helm. 2002 and beyond will find Sourvein taking their southern fried blackened assault all over the globe.

can we talk about Katatonia in this thread? I've only got two albums by them but they're both ****ing incredible and I'm definitely planning on getting more.

[Angmar]

Yes, Katatonia, amazing band.

[Txus]

WHAAAAAAAAT? I hope that's a joke

[Angmar]

Wow Steve, for owning all their full lengths, I would expect a more insightful post...

NP: Evidence

Well.... DoDS is my favorite album by them, followed by Viva Emptiness. Also the Great Cold Distance is really good, and Brave Murder Day is good as well, but has some boring parts.

Jonas's harsh vocals>Mikaels'

[ATM]

No joke, but keep in mind I've only been listening to metal for a short while.

[Txus]

Viva Emptiness is their best.

Chris: I'll send you a couple of albums to your last.fm shoutbox :)

[NemesisDivina]

What are Katatonia like? I've never heard.

pure ****ing ownage. they'll rip your face off, sew it back on and rip you to pieces...





...not exaggerating

[Angmar]

Yeah, start with Viva Emptiness or The Great Cold Distance, if you're looking for some really harsh doom stuff then get Dance of December Souls.

[ATM]

Sounds good, thanks.

Are they similar to any bands I might know?

[NemesisDivina]

No... Katatonia are really difficult to put into one genre. Especially their later stuff.

Dance of December Souls is soooo good. I'd say start with that if anything, that's where I started and I was hooked right off the bat. However, I think Viva Emptiness is giving DoDS a run for it's money atm.

[Angmar]

Meh, not really, I guess they kind of sound like Anathema.

[ATM]

Haven't really heard much Anathema either :-x

[NemesisDivina]

Just... download Viva Emptiness and Dance of December Souls. You won't be dissappointed, I promise.

[Angmar]

Yeah, I was hooked on Viva Emptiness the first time I heard it, trust me.

[Txus]

I sent him Viva Emptiness as a start :)

[NemesisDivina]

Plus, Kage loves them so you can't go wrong. :thumb:

[Txus]

yeah, suck kage's balls

[Nostalgia]

I don't really like Dance of December Souls that much, other than In Silence Enshrined. Pretty cool live band though.

[Txus]

I prefer Brave Murder Day, I know, blasphemy and all...but I like it a bit more.

[Angmar]

I don't really like Dance of December Souls that much, other than In Silence Enshrined. Pretty cool live band though.

...I thought you liked it. :(

[ATM]

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

[Shattered_Future]

Sweet, #7 poster. :D

Katatonia is great, but I like their later stuff much more. Could never get into the earlier shiz.

[rasputin]

Turn Loose the Swans from My Dying Bride is also similar to Dance of December Souls. I think Dance... is good, but not brilliant. Brave Murder Day is better, if a little boring. Viva Emptiness is my favourite 'new Katatonia' album also.

Jonas's harsh vocals>Mikaels'
I completely disagree. Jonas has horrible harsh vocals.

[Eliminator]

turn loose the swans kind of sucks. needs more doom and less cheesy piano and clean vocals

Do any of you have a link for Dance of December Souls?

NemesisDivina had one, ask him when you see him.

[Nostalgia]

Because I don't like 1 album then I'm not a fan of Doom? haha, that's stupid man. I love Doom, my 2nd favorite genre in metal.

Dude I'm jk fag.

[pate]

Austin you're so mean.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah I know. This thread should invest in some tampons.

[Txus]

Dude I'm jk fag.

Oh, cool.

[Jondur]

Back to Katatonia, apart from strongly disagreeing that they're doom, I actually only liked Tonight's Decision. I don't know why but sometimes an album just clicks with you. Even though later albums were similar I didn;t get into them at all.

Having said that, they are the worst live band I've ever seen. Worse that May'feedback'Hem, worse than Fear 'prerecorded guitar parts and crap vox' Factory. Even worse than Mortician.

[Shattered_Future]

They don't seem to have too much stage presence from live vids I've seen of them.

[rattlehead42147]

Traditional doom >>> Old school death >>>>>> everything else
what exactly is "traditional doom"? like i said, i'm a doom noob. would it be like Pentagram?

[Kage]

Candlemass

[rattlehead42147]

haha how did i forget them? i have a hard copy of Nightfall and reviewed it....
:p

[pate]

Very good Kage.

Traditional doom is doom metal in its purest, non-crossover form. It is mostly slow, riff-based "downer" metal which was influenced by Black Sabbath, Pentagram as well as the NWOBHM movement. Typical examples include Pentagram, Saint Vitus, Trouble and Candlemass. Four "waves" have so far been recognised in the history of traditional doom: the first one started with the originators of the entire genre, the proto-doom bands Black Sabbath and Pentagram; the second one dates from the mid-1980s, especially in the work of Saint Vitus and Candlemass; the third one started with the success of Cathedral's debut album Forest of Equilibrium; and the fourth has been affiliated with Reverend Bizarre.

Also

Epic doom is often used as a description for traditional doom bands with a stronger medieval and/or fantasy influences in lyrics. It is quite common that these bands present a more progressive style. Also, vocals have a much more narrative, epic, or even theatrical presence. Epic doom traces its roots through more traditional metal such as Manowar and Iron Maiden in addition to emulating the concepts of pre-doom bands such as Black Sabbath. Some of today's most popular doom metal bands with this epic feel are veterans Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus.

They are surely much better than Marduk and Dark Funeral.

Cathedral's debut album Forest of Equilibrium
One of the best albums I've ever heard. \m/

[Iron Bars]

I think everything Cathedral did after Forest of Equilibrium is much better.

[Eliminator]

i should probably go back and listen to reverend bizarre again
first time i listened to one of their albums i thhought it sucked but that was like one of the first few doomy albums i hear or whatrb

[Shattered_Future]

*namedrops In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend yet again*

Only one I have by them that I liked so far, but it's absolutely fantastic.

[Eliminator]

that's the one i've heard

anyway i am going to namedrop Warning! yay namderprrOo!

because Watching from a Distance is ****ing awesome. The Strength to Dream is great too but seriously

excellent clean vokillz

[pate]

I think everything Cathedral did after Forest of Equilibrium is much better.

I felt that way for a long time, but I like FoE as much as TCB and TEM.

And yes, Warning owns.

[Kage]

Reverend Bizarre is great. They're the only trad. doom band I listen to. Candlemass is alright in small doses but after a while I start thinking, "am I really still listening to this?"

[Eliminator]

the production on Nightfall sort of kills the heaviness on some of the songs

[Cocaine]

I never got into Watching from a Distance idono

[pate]

Kage have you heard Solitude Aeturnus? Although I'd be willing to bet that you'd hate them.

[rasputin]

Solitude Aeturnus are good, good, gooooood. Well the one album I've listened too, I haven't heard anything else yet :( But that shall change!

[pate]

Which album?

[Cocaine]

I really don't like Rob Lowe for some reason, but I still really really really like their cover of Heaven and Hell.

[pate]

Rob Lowe is my favorite singer by far, but I don't think their HaH cover is that great. Hah

[rattlehead42147]

Reverend Bizarre is great. They're the only trad. doom band I listen to. Candlemass is alright in small doses but after a while I start thinking, "am I really still listening to this?"
This is kind of vague i know but one song off Ancient Dreams is a complete rip off of another on Nightfall. I'll post it when i figure it out but the song on AD is a slowed down version of the same riffs/structure on Nightfall.

@pate
yeah i knew most of that stuff, i heard SV and didn't really like them that much tbh. But i've never heard Trouble, and Solitude Aeturnus have been on my "wishlist" for a while. i didn't know they were a doom metal band though.
the production on Nightfall sort of kills the heaviness on some of the songs
what about it specifically? i like the production...

[NemesisDivina]

I have a chance to pick up Skepticism- Stormcrowfleet and I vaguely remember some people talking about it itt. How is it?

[rattlehead42147]

i'm really excited now about getting some doom/stoner stuff in the next few weeks now. my collection is sorely lacking :(

[rasputin]

Which album?
That'd be their debut, Into the Depths of Sorrow. If you haven't already, definitely check it out.

[Iron Bars]

I felt that way for a long time, but I like FoE as much as TCB and TEM.

And yes, Warning owns.

Without a doubt the best album released this year for me.

NP: Warning - Faces

[Jondur]

The best album released for a good 8 or 9 years.

I've had it for a year now and still listen to it every day.

[Iron Bars]

I don't listen to it every day but more than once a week this year for certain.

[pate]

That'd be their debut, Into the Depths of Sorrow. If you haven't already, definitely check it out.

Absolutely I have it. SA are probably my favorite band.

[the2stranger]

I have a chance to pick up Skepticism- Stormcrowfleet and I vaguely remember some people talking about it itt. How is it?

It's ****ing great and an essential release if you like funeral doom. :)

[Luc214]

I felt that way for a long time, but I like FoE as much as TCB and TEM.

What about The Garden Of Unearthly Delights?

/only Cathedral I have

[Eliminator]

cathedral's album covers are lol

[Iron Bars]

What about The Garden Of Unearthly Delights?

/only Cathedral I have

Thats my second favorite after Supernatural Birth Machine.

[pate]

It's my fourth favorite, after FoE, TEM, and TCB.

cathedral's album covers are lol

Their album covers are pwn.

[Stormrider]

It's ****ing great and an essential release if you like funeral doom. :)

This. It's the only Funeral doom I've really liked so far haha. I've heard like 3 releases, though.

[Eliminator]

yeah Skepticism are really good

if you like that album you should get some Esoteric

[the2stranger]

This. It's the only Funeral doom I've really liked so far haha. I've heard like 3 releases, though.

:cool:
Li sten to what Elim says.

Esoteric is indeed good.
I recommend Subconcious Dissolution Into The Continuum as starters. :p

w00t.
Recieved Radiance Of Shadows and Truth Becomes Death by Nadja today.

[Stormrider]

Alright, thanks. I'll check it out :)

[Iron Bars]

I was listening to Radiance of Shadows. Best thing I've heard of Nadja so far.

[the2stranger]

No problemo Jammie. :)

Radiance Of Shadows is pretty damn good indeed.
I'm going to write a review about it this week.

[Luc214]

I was really surprised how good Stormcrowfleet is, I hate Farmakon. :\

And Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum is one of the best funeral doom albums ever.

[Stormrider]

NP Doomsword - Helms Deep

\m/

[Angmar]

Doomsword are ****ing awesome, I only have Let Battle Commence though, am I a bad person?

[Stormrider]

I have Doomsword and Resound the Horn. They're both excellent.

I will soon buy Let Battle Commence.

NP One Eyed God

[pate]

I have the ones Jammie has, and they both own.

[Angmar]

Damn you guys need to get Let Battle Commence!

I'll get those other ones too.
