Right just on the off chance that any of you fcuks are in the UK and can sing or play bass:

Singer with strong clean vocals and bassist needed to complete doom metal band.

Influences include Solstice, St Vitus, Celtic Frost, Dio

If you are interested please email me: jonathon_gibbsAThotmail.com and I will send you some rough demos so you can get an idea of the sound.

Cheers

Jon

[pate]

****. I'm in if you want to move to the US.

Or need a session guy or something.

[Motown]

i dont think jondur needs any spoken word in his band

[pate]

I can sing, as you will soon hear. And I can play bass.

[Motown]

all lies

[guitrguy]

i dont think jondur needs any spoken word in his band

lol

[Jondur]

Or need a session guy or something.

Cheers but I want to play some gigs. I haven't played a gig since 2005! Although that may all change come next year (more on that at a later date)

[Nostalgia]

i dont think jondur needs any spoken word in his band

lolll

[moltenlava]

They're airing the Heaven and Hell concert from Radio City '07 on VH1 Classic right now.

can someone link me to good bandz

[Txus]

[Nostalgia]

nurse with wound is some of the most boring music ive ever heard.

[Motown]

which is why txus likes them!

[Txus]

lol, austin talking about boring.

[guitrguy]

Everyone needs to check out The Devil and the Sea right now.

[Ventriloquist]

No wai without the Ufomammut avatar.

[Motown]

lol downloading penance album off of someone on slsk and they logged off when the last song was almost done

[Nostalgia]

Which album? Penance is siik.

[Nepenthe]

eh ive got proving ground and i dont honestly like it that much

[Nostalgia]

thats what i had when i first checked them out and its probably their most boring release to be honest

[Txus]

everything is boring to austin.

fag

[Nepenthe]

that cd really is boring though

[Txus]

penance kinda sucks tbqh

[moltenlava]

What's Moss - Sub Templum? Any good? Four tracks, two of which are 23:25 & 35:31. Is this gloomy doom, or something else altogether.

[guitrguy]

you wouldn't like it.

[Motown]

yeah its good, not your thing molten

[moltenlava]

Why, is it Drone? I like the reply though: yeah it's good, but not for you....What is that supposed to mean, I like things that suck? lol.

[Nepenthe]

precisely

[moltenlava]

I like you....OMG, you're right!

you like me?

In that way too.

Can I touch your junk?...




That stuff in your garage you said you were getting rid of.

[Nepenthe]

wtf did you spend like an hour and a half trying to think of something witty/lame to say?

[moltenlava]

No, it just came to me. And, anyone with a decent sense of humor would think it's witty, not lame. I get told all the time that I'm funny. But, then again, most folks I know already have a college education.

[Nepenthe]

thats like two and a half men funny

[moltenlava]

So, maybe I wanna write for TV. Maybe you and I will be the subject of the show, and we'll call it....One and a Half Brains. You know which role you get.

[Nepenthe]

let me guess! the freewheeling and carefree brother with the hedonistic and womanizing lifestyle, whose only real ambitions in life are getting drunk and scoring with chicks. which of course clashes with your characters sensibility and very linear lifestyle, creating pure comic gold week in and week out!

[moltenlava]

Yep. 'Cept you forgot about the part about you having half a brain.

[Nepenthe]

oh yeah. well yknow my memory just aint what it should be. having half a brain and all.

[moltenlava]

The season starts out with you having the whole, complete brain. But, in a series of follies which your character comes to be known for, you throw out the other half of the brain in that box of junk in your garage you said you were getting rid of for like two years...Then, the real comedy ensues.

[C.O.A.]

omg stfu already.

heres a little gem that ive selected for your viewing pleasure tyler

I get told all the time that I'm funny. But, then again, most folks I know already have a college education.

[Cocaine]

arent you 16? how do you get his jokes? and by jokes, is he still trolling in his unique "coming out of the closet" kind of way?

[Nepenthe]

[Cocaine]

yes see my edit i wasnt trying to be insulting!

so doom.

[Buckey1983]

They are so weird but every once and a while I put it on just to see how it is. If you ever go to sleep with that stuff on it freaks the hell out of you.

[moltenlava]

I listened to the first track on Moss' Sub Templum last night and it sounded like six minutes of a blow dryer being slowly waved in front of an oscillating fan. Fantastic.

[Motown]

awesome dude

[Nepenthe]

i love the sound of blow dryers being slowly waved in front of oscillating fans

i ignore them.

anybody a fan of Middian? im really liking their album Age Eternal

[moltenlava]

You guys should try it. All I ever see in here lately is nonsensical replies to messages I thankfully can't read.

If this moron Coke only knew that 9/10 of every comment I make in here is a reply to some 7th grade insult that the vags in here make, then he'd have some kinda credence. In fact, the only time I ever replied to Coke was because of some weak-asz insult he himself delivered. Then, saw that I wouldn't let him go and he got all scared and his bag retracted into his body. So all of yas can push that rag a little further up ya sniiz.

You're a piece of crap. In fact, the first time I saw you, you were takin' a crap and I mistook the crap you were pushin' for something you were trying to say. Cause your stinky browneye and your crappy mouthole are like almost twins.

[moltenlava]

I can't believe it, but you guys totally got me regressin' back to infancy. It's funny, but ya got me speaking your poo-poo language...But, I do like that I can split my dual nature here at Sputnik. Obviously the Rock/Metal forum is mostly for the dull bulbs who can't count past twenty or spelss their names corretcly. It's mostly one sentence statement and answers. With a lot of pass/fail talk which substitutes for actual dialogue...

Then, ya got the Politics, News, Issues section where actual thought and ideas take place. And, people can exchange actual ideas which require actual thought over there. But, sometimes ya do feel like being mindless and playin' with the infants in the sandbox, and that's what this place is obviously for. Just make sure ya clean the feces off your fingers if you're gunna touch my shirt. And, when do your moms come by ta feed yo baby azzes?

[Ventriloquist]

Dude why can't you just leave? If you hate this place so much I, mean why are you still here posting your weird posts mainly about sh.t and feces. Stop ruining this thread.

[Luc214]

I'm 99% sure he's a troll.

Why else would he post in the STONER/DOOM section about how he hates stoner/doom metal?

[the2stranger]

Meh.
Back on topic guys.

Colosseum, the finnish funeral doom band is making another album.
Which is quite quick, considering the last album came out last year.

:)

[kappala]

Check out The Devil and the Sea right now. This is a direct order soldier.

[jrowa001]

i need to get that. considering that my last post was not seen, anybody like Middian?

[the2stranger]

The Devil and the Sea have a crappy name, but the music is pretty sweet.
They have a nice groove to their sound.

and Middian, OMG, MUST..CHECK..OUT.
YOB was godly, so I'll probably like this too.

np: Esoteric - Circle.
:cool:

[kappala]

middian? I'm guessing they are similar to YOB.

[the2stranger]

Yeah, some of the same people as in YOB.
W00t, someone got banned, and I couldn't mourn for that.

[kappala]

oh snapple sauce i need to check them out.

[jrowa001]

Middian have the same singer as YOB if im correct. theyre awesome

[Tyr]

I haven't heard YOB or Middian.

[kappala]

YOB is earsex

[the2stranger]

Indeed.
The Illusion Of Motion rocks.

np: Esoteric - Caucus Of Mind
High on my yearlist. :D

[Tyr]

Album to start with?

[the2stranger]

Illusion Of Motion.
:)
Ball Of Molten Lead is such a cool song of that album and it does justice to it's title.

[kappala]

yes, what petey said

[Tyr]

The Illusion of Motion it is, then.

[jrowa001]

i only have The Unreal Never Lived by YOB but im planning on getting Illusion of Motion soon

[kappala]

You won't be disappointed

[Tyr]

I'm downloading Age Eternal by Middian as well. Hopefully I'll like it.

I could do without Yob.

I like the classical-like compositions in their music.
ALthough I hope they pump up the guitar sound a bit more.

[the2stranger]

I'm sure Petey has a few :D

I have some, but I have to think well.
C ause I already particpated in two interviews for the Nadja group on Last.fm.

But I'm brewing up some questions now, so get ready. :)

[ATM2]

Nice :)

The interview is at 2:30 PM EST on Thursday.

[kappala]

awesome, I should be back from lunch in time.

[jrowa001]

middian was pretty meh.

:mad:

[kappala]

Sorry, they just don't compare to YOB.

I'll give them a few more listens before I completely write them off.

[jrowa001]

its all good. im not saying theyre amazing or anything. i just really enjoyed their album. i agree that YOB is better though

[Crudo]

:amaze: Which album? Try SpiritualNatural - possibly THE pinnacle of Maryland doom.

the road less traveled

[pate]

Try Spiritualnatural or Alpha and Omega.

TRLT is like a re-done version of their first album or something.

[Crudo]

yeah the riffs are really weird/stupid

*slams head onto pen*

[Shattered_Future]

Is pencil fool. Get it right.

Need more stoner. Somebody recommend me something completely and utterly obscure and riff-tastic. In line with Grand Magus's Monument.

[Luc214]

Grand Magus's Iron Will.

[kappala]

Spiritual Beggars - Ad Astra
Colour Haze - Tempel
Balero -One Planet Short of the Sun
Alabama Tunderpussy -Open Fire

[Shattered_Future]

Never heard of Balero before. Will check out at earliest possible convenience. Kudos.

I didn't like Iron Will. It's more traditional, whereas I want the blues base.

[kappala]

It's instrumental btw

[Shattered_Future]

Fine with me. If I could find it...:(

Google gives nothing.

[Ventriloquist]

What does Grand Magus have to do with stoner metal? Well I only listened Iron Will but it's pure heavy metal :confused:

[Luc214]

Iron Will has less of a stoner edge, yet it would still qualify.

[kappala]

yeah their previous releases are where the stoner comes from.

[kappala]

Fine with me. If I could find it...:(

Google gives nothing.

Which album did you get, The Maniacal Vale?

So far I got, Subconscious Dissolution Into and a song from Metamorphogenesis.

[the2stranger]

Both are ace albums, get the rest of Metamorphogenesis as well and of course The Maniacal Vale.

[Ventriloquist]

On it now.. Can you think of any other similar bands? Doom bands with more atmospheric melodies?

[rasputin]

check out Worship, Mournful Congregation, Doom:VS, Shape of Despair, Colosseum for funeral doom with emphasis on atmosphere. Except Doom:VS is only a little bit funeral doom. but still good

[pate]

Through the Darkest Hour
Beyond The Crimson
Into The Depths of Sorrow

in that order

[willfellmarsy]

iight will download through the darkest hour now

[Shattered_Future]

Such a great album.

[pate]

yarly

[DiamondRope]

I'm pretty new to this genre, but it snapped me up as soon as I heard Kyuss for the first time (don't slap me, I was hibernating) a few months back.

I'll read through the thread and get a few more bands checked out - my boyfriend's a massive High on Fire fan, easy access to le tunage.

[StonesOfOctober]

Kyuss one has on good album and even then its not that good. HoF is \m/ though

Band you should check out:
Sleep
OM
Candlemass
Saint Vitus
Reverend Bizarre
Pentagram
Witchfinder General
Trouble
Solitude Aeturnus (already mentioned)

[DiamondRope]

Which album's that?

[StonesOfOctober]

Blues for the Red Sun

[DiamondRope]

Already got Sleep's Holy Mountain, muchly appreciate that fine bit of work, as for the others, duly noted danka.

[DiamondRope]

Blues for the red sun was the first album I heard, and definitely my favourite. I have come across much better to be fair, but it's the album that tickled my fancy with the genre so I can't complain!

[DiamondRope]

Question - has Jesu been mentioned anywhere here? I've been into pretty much anything Justin is responsible for over the last few months, and I'd consider a lot of Jesu to be pretty doom-laiden and melancholy but in a very bittersweet way.

Any thoughts?

[StonesOfOctober]

Jesu full-lenghts are pretty awesome, but some of the eps and splits are kind of bad.

[Txus]

yeah, jesu is pretty popular around here. I personally love Jesu, silver, the split with envy and the self titled are my favorite Jesu albums I think...

[DiamondRope]

If I had to choose one, it'd be Silver.

I love remembering when I first heard Jesu though, it was a cathartic experience.

[Ventriloquist]

Through the Darkest Hour
Beyond The Crimson
Into The Depths of Sorrow
Alone


in that order

Dude what about Adagio? Should be in that list.

[DiamondRope]

Through the Darkest Hour
Beyond The Crimson
Into The Depths of Sorrow
Alone


in that order

That actually looks a bit poetic, that list. Yes, darkly poetic. You should call it Faustus. Me likey Faustus.

[Tyr]

Silver's probably my favourite Jesu as well.

[Myrrhman]

jesu sucks

[DiamondRope]

If you think Jesu sucks, you should try lemons for that extra thrill.

[pate]

Dude what about Adagio? Should be in that list.

No way. It's decent, but not an essential SA album.

[rasputin]

I like Into the Depths of Sorrow better than Through My Darkest Hour. I haven't heard Beyond the Crimson though.

[Jondur]

No way. It's decent, but not an essential SA album.

Adagio doesn't have the songs of the earlier records, the production is just fantastic. THE doom production - the sound is so dense and powerful.

Usually I don't care too much about production but I can't think of a better produced album.

[Ventriloquist]

Adagio doesn't have the songs of the earlier records, the production is just fantastic. THE doom production - the sound is so dense and powerful.

Usually I don't care too much about production but I can't think of a better produced album.

Agreed. Dunno I quite like that album.

About to interview Nadja, so if you have any questions, post them here.

[StonesOfOctober]

What is Aidan's main motivation when writing for Nadja?

[ATM2]

You listening Brian?

[StonesOfOctober]

yes I am, 8 hours late, but still listening.

[jrowa001]

anybody heard of Blood Ceremony? im really digging their self-titled debut that just came out this year. traditional doom/stoner album with female vocals and...yes...a flute player. it actually adds a nice touch. kind of reminds me as if Camel joined forces with a stoner metal band with a female singer. the keyboards are pretty nice too

[pate]

Sounds cool.

[StonesOfOctober]

did you get that from mercenario? I saw it but I decided against dling it.

[jrowa001]

yeah i think so. i rated the album a 3.5 at first but im thinking of giving it a 4. id think youd like it...hopefully. idk, i really enjoyed it. heres their myspace. listen to the song Return To Forever
myspace.com/bloodceremony

[StonesOfOctober]

Anyone else excited about the Shrinebuilders upcoming album?

[JoshuaHomme]

yeah i listen to stoner metal, and by that i mean i listen to metal while i am stoned.

Anyone else excited about the Shrinebuilders upcoming album?

Yes. When is it coming out?

[kappala]

2009

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/ep/reverend_bizarre/dark_world___deceiver/

no chance if this not ruling

[kappala]

Yeah I know, I was looking for it the other day and couldn't find it.

[parvenu]

yeah i cant find that or the EW split

anyone liek internal void?

[boredoms]

wtf there is a new EW split?

edit: just read about on wiki. damn I need to get that too.

[myhigherpie]

uhh... I like crowbar. Other than that, ive never gotten into doom metal.

Ive tried sludgecore... kingdom of sorrow is pretty wicked at times.

[Stormrider]

Which Esotric album should I start with?

EDIT: man, Skepticism truely is brilliant. I'm listening to the Ethere EP for the first time and this is amazing.

[Ventriloquist]

I listened to most Esoteric albums recently, Metamorphogenesis is my fav. so far. I'd recommend that.

[Stormrider]

Alright, thanks.

[Nostalgia]

Esoteric sucks.

[Luc214]

no

Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum is my favorite.

But The Maniacal Vale is also very good.

[Kage]

i like esoteric a lot, but their albums are sort of interchangeable in a way. maybe i need to listen to them more

[Txus]

Esoteric sucks.

this

[Kage]

why do you say so, mike?

[Txus]

They bore me to tears. Seriously, their albums are wayyy too damn long, and they release the same stuff over and over again...that's how i feel :(

[Kage]

i agree to an extent--but when I'm in the right mood for them, I love them

i dont even worry about listening to a full album. i just put it on until ive had enough, usually about half or 3/4 of an album

[rasputin]

when I'm in the right mood for them, I love them
Exactly

They bore me to tears. Seriously, their albums are wayyy too damn long, and they release the same stuff over and over again
I somewhat agree with you, but that's why one album by them is sufficient.

Which Esotric album should I start with?
You should start AND finish the The Maniacal Vale, that's the best. Some others like Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum, but I think it's only a little better than average. Just get The Maniacal Vale and that'll be more than enough Esoteric.

nah, Metamorphogenesis and Subconscious Dissolution into the Continuum are better

ok, ive been listening and i was a little shortsighted. they're not interchangeable and they both rule.

anybody heard of Blood Ceremony? im really digging their self-titled debut that just came out this year. traditional doom/stoner album with female vocals and...yes...a flute player. it actually adds a nice touch. kind of reminds me as if Camel joined forces with a stoner metal band with a female singer. the keyboards are pretty nice too

from Toronto? Seen em live, good ****.
