Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

**** me i love neurosis, they're the darkest band on the planet

NP: eye of every storm

[repcak]

i have to listen to some Neurosis then.



edit: ... they are good. nice.

[guitrguy]

I like Neurosis, but I wouldn't consider them the darkest band on the planet.

[repcak]

I won't consider them as the "darkest band" either, Brian, but they are great - i need more of such music. Metal 24/7 annoys me after some time... thats the main reason why i started to listen to a lot of drone, ambient, doom recently, cause i need this Ying in my agressive Yang of Metal. :)

CANDLEMASS guitarist Mats "Mappe" Björkman has been sentenced to two years in a Swedish prison for grand theft, reports Realtid.se.

He was convicted of stealing CDs with a retail value of SEK 3 million (approximately $490,000).

According to prosecutor Mats Jansson, Björkman and and his accomplice Stefan Håkansson skimmed CDs from Entertainment Network Scandinavia AB (ENS), where they both worked at the warehouse. ENS handles product distribution to retail outlets and wholesalers throughout Sweden for the four major labels.

Over a period of several years, Björkman and Håkansson shipped the stolen merchandise to two Stockholm retail outlets who were also allegedly involved in the scheme.

In November 2005, a music company contacted ENS regarding a discrepancy in Björkman's reported sales. ENS investigated the matter and discovered that someone had manipulated the company computer on 301 occasions.

By checking Mats' employee/entry card, ENS determined that the musician's log-in information had been used to access the company's computer system in 279 of these instances.

Mats Björkman denies the allegations and claims that someone else must have used his entry card. But his accomplice Stefan Håkansson has admitted his role in the theft and has implicated his colleague.

The scheme was uncovered after a tip was received that the record stores in Stockholm were selling CDs that were shipped from the Borås-based warehouse for a much lower price than those sold by their competitors.

The information about the weight on orders had been manipulated to conceal how much merchandise had been delivered. A package that according to the computer system contained 8 CDs in reality turned out to include more than 100 CDs plus a few box sets and DVDs.

According to the prosecutor, Björkman was the one that was in contact with the retailers and that received the money for the transactions.

The agreement between Mats and his accomplice was that they were to split the profits — which were estimated to be SEK 1.3 million (approximately $213,000) — equally.

Mats stated in court that he doesn't undertand why Stefan would lie about him being involved in the theft scheme but he thinks it might be because Håkansson was trying to protect other people who might have been responsible for stealing the merchandise.

Before he went to court, Mats told the local paper Borås Tidning, "I'm innocent, no question about it."

During the court proceedings, he continued to deny his involvement in the theft while the other man confessed.

Based on the evidence, the court concluded that Håkansson had no reason to lie about Björkman's role in the scheme and determined that prison was the appropriate punishment for both men.

Björkman's accomplice received a sentence of one year and nine months.


They better get a replacement rhythm guitarist for their US tour.

And I'm gonna be the new drummer for Mournful Congregation! I'm telling you I could totally do it.

[FatalEnergy]

I must say for me,


Reverend Bizarre > All other Doom

[guitrguy]

RB is sick, I need to get the rest of their EPs.

[FatalEnergy]

I've been addicted to them lately. Too bad they broke up.

Any of you guys heard (The) Orne?

Killer stuff with all the RB guys.

[guitrguy]

I think I'll listen to RB next, after I finish listening to the Bongzilla discography.

[Txus]

I still need to get 1 more RV album, they have all been pretty damn good except the new one which is long as ****. It has some good gooooood riffs/ideas but it's too damn long imo.

[guitrguy]

yeah I either listen to it fully at work, or I listen to it in pieces.

[Txus]

I rarely listen to it. My favorite is In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend fo sho'

Burn in Hell! is like the best Doom song ever.

[guitrguy]

II: Crush the Insects is my favorite so far. Doom over the World nigga.

[Tyr]

In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend is the only album of their's that I've got.

[Txus]

I still prefer Burn in Hell! over Doom Over the World, idk, it was the first RV song i heard so that's probably why, but it kicks much much ***.

[FatalEnergy]

I really like the Harbinger of Metal EP.

Plus it's got a sweeeeeet cover of Dunkelheit on it.

Makes the original version seem fast.

[Txus]

True!, haha, it's a great cover.

I also LOVE Return to the Rectory, it has some really sweet songs.

[Iron Bars]

Yeah I know. If it came down to it, WoR would take precedence. :lol:

Good choice, any new material on the way?

RB is one of the best doom bands ever. I love all the albums I think I listen to Harbringer or Return to the Rectory most.

[pate]

We've got like 6 new songs written. The new album should be out late in the year.

We're working with a new band now, that's the reason for the WoR delay.



RB is too repetitive for me to listen to regularly.

[ATM]

WoR \m/

RB is too repetitive for me to listen to regularly.

[guitrguy]

**** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****, I just found out Baroness is playing in NOLA tonight. I want to go, but idk if' I'll make it in time.

[Nostalgia]

I wouldn't call RB repetitive, but I don't listen to them that much. Besides In the Rectory I don't really care for them.

[Eliminator]

i dont see how lee can say that when he listens to bands that are just as repetitive

[Nostalgia]

Yeah but Lee's weird. I mean, I think he likes every band within this genre.

burn/

[pate]

lol

i dont see how lee can say that when he listens to bands that are just as repetitive

Bands I like don't play the same riff for 12 minutes, and then switch to a different riff for 15 minutes, then back to the first for another 12.



Controversial statement:
Reverend Bizarre is the Vital Remains of doom metal: they'd be alright if their songs were 1/3 as long.

[Eliminator]

ya that isnt a bad exaggeration

[pate]

If you look at III it's not an exaggeration at all.

[ATM]

Haaaaaaaalllllllfffffffff hhhhhhhhoooooouuuuuurrrrrr ssssssoooooonnnnnnggggggssss

[guitrguy]

If you look at III it's not an exaggeration at all.

Look at II and it is.

[FatalEnergy]

I like the songs just as they are, unlike Vital Remains though, they don't suck.

[Tyr]

I decided to get II and III. Holy sh*t, II is good. I'm kicking myself for not checking this out sooner.

[Eliminator]

II is their weakest

[Tyr]

Might be. I'm only halfway through it and have yet to hear III. This far I like In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend more, I think.

[Angmar]

I have In the Rectory and III and both rule, I probably just like In the Rectory more because it's not quite as long, III is still superb though. I'll get II later.

[Eliminator]

best songs on II are Doom Over the World and Slave of Satan

[MunicipalWaste3435]

High on Fire,CAndlemass and My Dying Bride are great. Would you consider CAthedral Doom metal?

[Tyr]

best songs on II are Doom Over the World and Slave of Satan

I agree with this.

[Iron Bars]

By This Axe I Rule.

[Dimmu Burger]

By This Axe I Rule.

I mean, you seem pretty cool, but I dunno if you "Rule".

[Iron Bars]

Ok, sorry about that. But the song is great.

[Tyr]

After listening to II and III once each, I think II is better. III drags on a bit too much.

[Txus]

III drags way too much.

[pate]

Indeed.

High on Fire,CAndlemass and My Dying Bride are great. Would you consider CAthedral Doom metal?

Yes

[Eliminator]

After listening to II and III once each, I think II is better. III drags on a bit too much.

Dolorian is so good.
I'm listening to Voidwards, this remains a classic in my eyes.
Dark, brooding and mysterious.

Any fans?

[pate]

Never heard. Probably not something I would like, right?

[Tyr]

faaaaaaalse

The only one of those extremely long songs that stuck was Anywhere Out of This World. The other ones could have been shorter, by half or so.

[the2stranger]

Yes, I guess so.

It's doom, but very dark.
lots of reverb and flanger effects.
I know the term dark metal sucks, bt I guess they'd fit in.
Like dark doom metal with some black influences.

http://www.myspace.com/dolorianfans

[Nostalgia]

Dolorian isn't bad, but I only have When All The Laughter Has Gone. Haven't listened to it in awhile, but I remember it being pretty good.

[Eliminator]

The only one of those extremely long songs that stuck was Anywhere Out of This World. The other ones could have been shorter, by half or so. There's too much meat in those songs for you.

[Tyr]

That's one way to put it.

Lately I've had problems concentrating on longer songs. It's damn annoying.

[pate]

I don't like long songs.


NP: Om

[Nostalgia]

What's Nadja's best album? I'm seeing them on the 25th, and I've only heard one song.

[Tyr]

I like Radiance of Shadows. Petey will most likely think different.

[Shattered_Future]

The only one out of the 2 I liked was Guilted By The Sun, mainly because the production was only 7/8ths assed instead of fully assed.

I'm listening to Remembrance right now. They're not bad...funeral doom metal with programmed drums and assloads of pianos and strings. I like it. I'm a sucker for pianos and strings.

[Kage]

the production was only 7/8ths assed instead of fully assed.

I don't understand what you mean by that.

[Shattered_Future]

It still sounded like ****, but you could pick out the different instruments.

Whereas the other one just sounded like ****.

[Kage]

haha

I think the production is magnificent idk.

[Shattered_Future]

I like crushing production as much as the next guy, but when the instruments are compromised, it doesn't work for me.

[G_Mac07]

I like Radiance of Shadows.

Also my favourite, though largely because it was the first release I heard from them. I'm a bit bias that way at times.

Check it.

So I went to a Virgin Megastore today because I went with my dad into Greenwich Village in the city. He had a gig, and everyone else is in DisneyWorld, so I was like, what the hell, might as well bum around a bit.

Searches for stuff I wanted turned futile: no Peccatum, no After Forever, no random post rock ****. Then, on a whim, I check the A section again, and there it was: The Call Of The Wretched Sea by Ahab.

I now have it on hard copy. :cool:

Nice, enjoy!

I like Radiance of Shadows. Petey will most likely think different.
Nah, I agree with you on that.
Radiance Of Shadows is a very good album, especially Now I Am Become Death, The Destroyer Of Worlds slays, the fat, thick production on that song owns so hard.
Besides that, I really recommend Bodycage and Truth Becomes Death, to get into them. Get Thaumogenesis if you have had the ones mentioned before.

Also the remake of Touched is recommened material.
It's difficult to go wrong with Najd,a but I guess I'm sort of a fanboy.

Just get the pure Nadja releases, they rule, the collabs with other artists aren't bad, but they lack the pureness of Nadja.

New Ufomammut sounds good, I'll go link hunting later on.

[guitrguy]

Got it. Thanks, man.

No problemo, dude.

[Luc214]

I need Thaumogenesis.

But I Have Tasted The Fire Inside Your Mouth is kick ***.

[guitrguy]

Thaumogenesis is rad, and its one of the easier albums to find.

[Luc214]

I actually couldn't find it when I looked for it once.

I second this.

Illusion of Motion is really good.

[Phototropic]

Dude..he is awesome. I saw him open for Murder By Death and he got so drunk on stage.

haha yeah same here, he kept asking people to go get him drinks from the crowd , and there was a big bottle of whiskey being passed about, he was pretty wasted by the end

I got a picture with him but the stage lights ruined it, gay

[ATM]

I had a drunken conversation with him after the set about switching from guitar to banjo.

[AFragileHope]

Cathedral, Sabbath and Mastodon = awesome when high.

[RetiredAt21]

I've always hated Mastodon for some reason.

[guitrguy]

I don't hate them, but I can't really get into them.

[RetiredAt21]

Something about them drives me insane.

[guitrguy]

Probably Brann.

[RetiredAt21]

Huh?

[guitrguy]

idk, i think thats the name of a guy in the band.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

worst name

[BrokenChains]

The only Doom style music I listen to at the moment is Novembers Doom.

[AFragileHope]

Novembers Doom own.

The thing with Mastodon is that they're pretty out there; I've seen them live a couple times and the first time in Portsmouth they owned and at Hellfest they sucked.

They do a lot of hallucinogenic drugs so yeah. But Leviathan is a wicked album. Everything they've done so far has really impressed me. Standout track = Aqua Dementia. Good stuff.

[guitrguy]

Tbh, I wouldn't consider mastodon stoner or doom.

[AFragileHope]

They have elements of both genres. They're a genre shifting band tbh.

My fave doom band of the moment is probably Ahab though. They're pretty sound.

[guitrguy]

eh, I think thats a stretch.

[AFragileHope]

Well okay then. I'll agree to disagree.

Neurosis on the other hand are a great experimental/doom type band.

[Iron Bars]

Mastodon is a great band, but their live show has been getting progressively worse with every new album.

NP: Agalloch - ....And the great cold death of the earth

[guitrguy]

That they are.

[Iron Bars]

Mastodon got me into Neurosis and ISIS a few years ago.

[AFragileHope]

Anything ISIS do is awesome. Oceanic is one of my fave albums of all time.

Relapse Records don't go far wrong tbh. And kudos to the dude talking about Agalloch. The Mantle, Pale Folklore and Ashes Against the Grain are all superb albums.

[guitrguy]

I like ISIS, but I find myself going long periods with out listening to them.

[AFragileHope]

Same with me really. Like a couple of months ago I was really into them. Now I'm in a phase of older deathcore stuff and grindcore; Through the Eyes of the Dead, Between the Buried and Me, Pig Destroyer and Narcosis etc etc

[pate]

Isis can blow me.

The only Doom style music I listen to at the moment is Novembers Doom.

Nov Doom are one of my favorite bands.

[ATM]

Yesss Torche are coming. They are playing with The Sword, who are kind of meh, but I bet it will still rule overall.

I'm having trouble explaining to my friend what stoner metal is. He seems to completely neglect the metal part, and keeps asking my why Sublime isn't 'stoner', because stoners listen to it.

This is my life.

[Cocaine]

Just tell him it's like, really bluesy fuzzed out metal with the occasional psychedelic slant. Or something idk.

[Against Miik!]

I'm pretty sure he musically hopeless. He's convinced that this years Bonnaroo is like, the best music festival ever put together, and that Jack Johnson will not make it a complete bro-fest.

[AFragileHope]

lol haha. Jack Johnson makes me laugh with his easy attitude to absolutely everything in life. Surfers...

Stoner metal is basically metal with psychedelic influence and classic rock/metal (like Sabbath) influence too, melded together to fuse a wonderfully dense, progressive sound imo. Look at Cathedral.

Doom noob here. Lookin' for some suggestions. I don't really want the kinda "depressed" doom metal if that makes sense, but more stuff kinda like Buried At Sea.

Right now, the only doom I really listen to is Electric Wizard (got Dopethrone last week and love it) and Swallow the Sun.

[Cocaine]

You dont want "depressed" doom but got Swallow the Sun? Weird, I havent listened to them much because I think they're shite, but I donno, I'd consider them "depressed".

Go for the bigguns. Candlemass, Reverend Bizarre are huge around here.

you started right where I did. I came in here after a few weeks of listening to Dopethrone. Get Conference of the Birds by Om.

Those two bands can be a little depressing.

[Sponer]

Naw, I kinda consider Swallow The Sun "depressed" sounding too. I just mentioned I listen to them already, but I don't really want more stuff like them.

I guess I should check out Candlemass, I do hear a lot about them. Not sure why I never checked them out before. I haven't heard of Reverend Bizarre though so I'll check that out too, thanks.

Edit: oh yea, I have Om already. I forgot to mention them.

[Cocaine]

Conference of the Birds by Om.
What?
Those two bands can be a little depressing.
What?

[RetiredAt21]

You have to be a pretty big faggot to get depressed by Reverend Bizarre and Candlemass.

[rattlehead42147]

Om aren't depressing, at least not to me.
Candlemass definitely can be at times, ftlog listen to Marche Funebre. Even though they didn't write it the whole Nightfall album has that "funeral" feel to it. Reverend Bizarre definitely aren't upbeat by any means either.

lol Justin I don't mean depressing as in xsuicidalx want to kill yourself or something, they're just not very happy sounding bands. I mean I know they're not Nortt or Ahab or something like that but they're both DOOM metal bands.

[Cocaine]

Om aren't depressing, at least not to me.
Om aren't really doom metal based on that album and it isnt really that good anyways.

Of course Candlemass and Reverend Bizarre aren't upbeat, it's ****ing doom metal. There's a difference between being "depressing" and being "doomy".

true true. that album is good, although mostly the first song. but they are stoner which was pretty much the only reason I mentioned them in the first place.

[Txus]

Om aren't really doom metal based on that album and it isnt really that good anyways.
what?

whatTT???????????????????????????

[Sponer]

lol Justin I don't mean depressing as in xsuicidalx want to kill yourself or something, they're just not very happy sounding bands. I mean I know they're not Nortt or Ahab or something like that but they're both DOOM metal bands.

My name's Justin too. :eek:

But yea, I didn't really mean like upbeat or happy sounding doom, I just didn't want... I dunno. I think you guys know what I mean though. Thanks.

[RetiredAt21]

You're name can't be Justin, too. I'm the only Justin 'round these parts.

[Sponer]

Nobody actually calls me Justin in real life though. Just Sponer or Spohn.

[RetiredAt21]

****, you're from PA too? We must be twins, LOL.

you didn't want funeral doom pretty much. I'm not too into it (as of yet) myself.

[Sponer]

****, you're from PA too? We must be twins, LOL.

Lancaster? Heh, I'm in Berks. Which is like right next to Lancaster. Kinda. And I do actually have a twin brother. Ha.


Anyways, is Candlemass's first album a good one to start with? Cause that's the one I'm downloading right now. :smash:

[Cocaine]

Candlemass' first album is the perfect place to start.

[Nostalgia]

If you're looking for doom metal that's not "depressing" (whatever the **** that means) then I wouldn't bother with Epicus Doomicus Metallicus. Johan has the most naturally depressing vocals on that album, despite the lyrical themes.

Get Nightfall, it's the best Candlemass and is the best album in metal.

[Cocaine]

I agree that Nightfall is a better place to start but Epicus is still better than Swallow the ****ing Sun

[guitrguy]

you started right where I did. I came in here after a few weeks of listening to Dopethrone. Get Conference of the Birds by Om.

Those two bands can be a little depressing.

RB isn't really depressing.

[rattlehead42147]

I mean its depressing compared to stuff like Sabbath's upbeat style of doom, like the song After Forever. I swear to god the riff at 1:55 is one of the heaviest out there.

[Cocaine]

Sabbath's upbeat style of doom?

[Txus]

hahaha.

[guitrguy]

rofl i think he means up-tempo

Damn right. That album is so epic.

[AFragileHope]

Doomshine is an awesome band name. Maybe I'll look into them once I've checked out the new High on Fire album, Death Is This Communion. They were in this month's Total Guitar, I was well impressed.

I'm sessioning Isis' In the Absence of Truth. What an awesome album to chill to.

[pate]

Total Guitar Knows Doom

[guitrguy]

lol total guitar knows total doom

[Shattered_Future]

Not a fan of High on Fire...

if you're a troll **** off but if you're serious then i'm going to have to ask you to namedrop because i can't think of any bands like that off the top of my head.
