Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[Luc214]

Khanate is one of the most amazing bands I've ever heard.


I love Stoner Metal from what I've heard of it. I'm in love with Electric Wizard.



No, they aren't doom...

Swallow The Sun isn't doom? Then what are they?

[Magicaltroll]

Swallow The Sun isn't doom? Then what are they?
I thought you said Nightwish and that other band were.

Your post was confusing, sorry.

[Squirrel]

Been listening to The Melvins quite a bit lately. Good stuff.

[Jondur]

Swallow The Sun isn't doom? Then what are they?

Slow atmospheric death metal with keyboards.

Show me the link with Pentagram and St Vitus and maybe I'll accept that they're doom metal

[Luc214]

Slow atmospheric death metal with keyboards.

Show me the link with Pentagram and St Vitus and maybe I'll accept that they're doom metal

Saint Vitus is classic doom.

Swallow The Sun is death/doom, Draconian is gothic doom, etc.

Different branches is all.

[Jondur]

No. St Vitus is Doom Metal.

I understand subgenres. I know that black/death is death metal with elements of black metal. But surely by that reasoning death doom should sound a teansy weany bit like doom metal?

Put it this way. Most people accept that Pentagram were the first doom metal band. In the same way that most people accept that Death (or Possessed) were the first death metal band. You can trace a lineage from Scream Bloody Gore to say Behemoth or even Swallow the Sun. But there is not one element of Pentagram or Vitus, or Trouble, or any other Doom Metal band in Swallow the Sun.

Usually I let this go (see early pages for similar arguements) - it's just you were pulling someone up on genres and then getting it wrong yourself.

Anyway Type O are a lot more doom than Draconian!

[Luc214]

I suppose every music review site has the genres wrong then.

[Jondur]

That's just a cop out man.

Call em doom death if you want but try and explain why they should be called that. The fact remains that they have nothing to do with doom. The name doom death just came about to describe Paradise Lost because they were doing really slow death metal and people didn't understand it. they never sounded like doom at all. But people equate slow with doom. Which in itself is bollocks. There's loads of uptempo doom.

[Stoic]

Doomsword are godly, I have Let Battle Commence and I love every second of it. They're so damn epic, like a mix between Viking and Doom Metal.

I have yet to find a band that sounds like them dammit! Scald (\m/) are somewhat close though.

[Txus]

I've never heard of Scald, if they sound like Doomsword I should check them out.

[Werny]

I fail to understand how Paradise Lost's Gothic doesn't sound doom at all. Just listen to the riffs. And it's not very slow at all.

And for the record, I'd call that 'doom' before I call any of the trad stuff doom. I've never got how Sabbath-imitating 70's rockers got called "doom metal". It's hardly metal, let alone doom. But that's my view.

You must be kidding. How the hell is a band like Reverend Bizarre or Candlemass not metal?

[Werny]

You must be kidding. How the hell is a band like Reverend Bizarre or Candlemass not metal?

Candlemass are an exception, being that instead of a retro rock band imitating Sabbath, they are a classic-ish metal band imitating Sabbath. Reverend Bizarre sound perfectly rock to me.

Seriously...I mean people call Witchcraft doom!

Of course I still call all of these bands Doom (except Witchcraft) out of habit and to save myself from the doom elitists out there.

[Txus]

Reverend Bizarre....rock? wtf?

[Bajs]

Hawkwind!

Spacerock at its finest :D

[Smackers]

Aarni -Bathos


I still don't see what's so interesting about that album, but I never expected to see someone mention it.

Anyone mentioned Wormphlegm yet?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Candlemass are an exception, being that instead of a retro rock band imitating Sabbath, they are a classic-ish metal band imitating Sabbath.
How are Solitude Aeturnus, Solstice, Trouble, and The Obsessed any different to Candlemass in that respect?

Reverend Bizarre sound perfectly rock to me.

I can understand your point about Witchcraft, but man... Reverend Bizarre... Rock? Please tell me you are joking.

They're quite good.

[the2stranger]

They're quite good.
I can't find any of their stuff, I'm really intressted though. :(

Yes, that would be awesome Alex.
The songtitle is weird. :p

Haha.

The upload should be done in about an hour :)

[the2stranger]

Awesome.
I'm currently uplaoding Mar De Grises - The Tattermedailion Express.

I can probably tell if a band is Doom or not by listening, but I guess I'm an idiot since I usually go by slowness and that "bluesy" feeling from the music to judge whether or not it's Doom.

[Poofy 666]

Awesome.

You've lost the plot man. You really have. You can't start redefining music on the basis of how YOU think it should sound. For example, I've decided that [insert generic metalcore band here] are what I'd call thrash. Therefore Razor and Forbidden are no longer thrash. You see how ridiculous that sounds? Well that's exactly what you're doing.

And as for Reverend Bizarre not being metal? Madness

[Kyle]

Do any of you guys listen to Acid Bath? Im liking them quite a lot at the moment.

Oh, and can somebody tell me which genre they actually belong to? I've always had trouble placing them.

[the2stranger]

Sludge/Doom.

[dfcslings]

Any Kyuss fans??

One of my favs at the moment.

[the2stranger]

I like them.
Stoner is exellent to listen to on a warm sunny evening with a beer and a joint.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that and it's great driving music.

Anyway, Kyuss are one of my favorite bands.

[the2stranger]

I love Sleep too.

You win on account of my young mind completely losing track of what you're saying.

[TojesDolan]

I recently downloaded welcome to the sky valley.

It's awesome.

[Phototropic]

I think everyone agrees Kyuss are the feckin daddies

What a band, the ideas and the feeling...immense, pity Alfredo was a bit of a square, his drumming lacks any of the raw energy that Bjork had

[Kyle]

Ya, I seem to be in a minority around here, in that I prefer WTSV over BFTRS. They're both great though :)

[Phototropic]

Yeah I used to like Circus more than the rest, then I realised each one is amazing so I just take it as kyuss a 4 album package :cool: Best way

[Tyr]

I realized after a couple of listens that one of the reasons I like Solitude Aeturnus is because the singer reminds me a little of Layne Staley.

[pate]

.....wow. I don't get that at all. They are both pure ownage, but different kinds of ownage.

[Jondur]

You win on account of my young mind completely losing track of what you're saying.

Haha! That's my tactics - confuse em to death!

Anyway your madness has been superceded by the comparison of Rob Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus and Layne Staley!!?!! :confused: This thread's gone mad I tell you!

[Bartender]

Jondur, have you heard The River's album yet? What's it like, if you have?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I need to order that :(

[Jondur]

I have heard it. It's great (although the drumming is obviously not as good! I'm kidding, Chris is a good drummer). Boken Window and A Close Study off the demo are on there but some of the new songs are truly magnificent. I'd recommend it even if I wasn't biased.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

A Close Study is my favourite off the demo.

[Bartender]

Sounds good. Amber (re-recorded?) seems to be on there too.


I need to order that :(

Yeah, me too. I meant to a couple of days ago but then got caught up looking for somewhere to buy Cardiacs albums. I should go do so now.

[Magicaltroll]

Off subject, but I love Boris :D

The only thing I don't like is how they can change so drastically with each album. I don't mind growing, but COMPLETELY changing the genre of their music (basically that's what they do), is kinda weird. Like, when I get comfortable with something, they change it again.

It can be cool sometimes, but it can also be bad if you ask me.

[Tyr]

.....wow. I don't get that at all. They are both pure ownage, but different kinds of ownage.
It's not that they sound alike or anything. I just get a Layne feeling from Rob Lowe.

Oh well, as long as it's related to doom/stoner stuff it's all good in this thread. :cool:

I'm playing some Skepticism right now, exellent funeral doom.

[Daven]

You love Skepticism, heh.

Maiden Voyage - Opaline Waterfalls

[Nepenthe]

Skepticism are ace. My latest Doom find is The Funeral Orchestra. Really sad stuff, I highly recommend Feeding The Abyss to any Funeral Doom fans.

[the2stranger]

As is Maiden Voyage. \m/

I've been order doom only for the past few months.
I'm loving it and want to add the Funeral Orchestra to my collection.

[Daven]

I havent listened to funeral doom in some time now.

Is The Eleventh Room good?

[the2stranger]

Never heard of him.
He's a dutchie though.

My latest doom find is: Mar de Grises - The Tattermedallion Express.

That's what I like about them. Boris is incredible. Amplifier Worship is too good.

[the2stranger]

Aw.
I just found out why my distro doesn't have Feeding The abbys; it's limited to 999 copies.
:(

[Nepenthe]

I can send you a link sometime within the next few days, if you'd like.

[Frequently Tripping]

I never really associated stoner with doom, how did these two cross paths?

[Nepenthe]

Stoner Metal is very sludgy and rarely faster than mid paced, so it's oft associated with Doom Metal.

[Kage]

Didn't stoner and doom really originate from the same source--Black Sabbath and all that? I always considered them to be very closely related.

[Nepenthe]

In a matter of words, yes.

[AA-12]

I'm looking for stuff that is a lot like Electric Wizard and really dark. (probably a Sabbath rip off, haha). Any suggestions?

[the2stranger]

I can send you a link sometime within the next few days, if you'd like.
I won't say no to that.
Thanks. :)

np: Reclusiam - Parasellar

[Nepenthe]

I just found out that Solitude Aeternus was formed about an hour from where I live.

[Magicaltroll]

I'm looking for stuff that is a lot like Electric Wizard and really dark. (probably a Sabbath rip off, haha). Any suggestions?
Graves At Sea

Or, if you want REALLY heavy, and REALLY dark, but not so Black Sabbath-y, check out Boris' album Amplifier Worship.


I kinda wanna second this request though, I'm looking for more bands like Electric Wizard, and Graves At Sea. The bands aren't too much alike, but they're both really slow, and really heavy, and dark. So if anyone could help me out, that'd be awesome.

[pate]

I just found out that Solitude Aeternus was formed about an hour from where I live.

That is awesome. They are my favorite doom band, and borderline in my top ten overall.

[Jondur]

Didn't stoner and doom really originate from the same source--Black Sabbath and all that? I always considered them to be very closely related.

I'd consider them as different as black metal and death metal. Both came from the same source (Venom in the case of death and black) but approach it in a completely different way.

[Phototropic]

Purchased 3 CDs in HMV today, havent bought any in ages

I bought

Sleep - Jerusalem
Goatsnake - Trampled under hoof
Red Sparowes - At the soundless dawn

Haven't listened to them yet, will give them a blast later tonight

Any of you like them?

Nice man.
Sleep is exellent stoner.
Goatsnake, isn't that a drone sideproject of Greg Anderson?
Red Sparowes is also nice, but not really doom or stoner. It's exellent post rock though.

I'm listening to Earth right now and it makes me very happy.
Exellent music, fuzzy drone-ieness.
Anyone else enjoy them?

I like the one newer song I've heard (from Hex..) more than the couple I've heard from their 90s albums (no idea which), despite the relative absense of volume/heaviness/etc. I really liked the new one though, so I'm thinking of getting that album some time soon.

[Kage]

Earth is great.

Cool. I should check out some newer stuff by them. :)

[Phototropic]

Just downloaded Enemy of the sun album by Neurosis

Anybody here into them? Very atmospheric, I love it

[Smackers]

Goatsnake, isn't that a drone sideproject of Greg Anderson?

Actually is was a Stoner Rock band Greg was in that formed around 1996. They had a few releases, but they haven't released anything in a while.

[Phototropic]

Not that fussed on Goatsnake to be honest, Pete Stahls voice seems a bit...bland, the musics jolly sleazy though...Scott Reeders in it so whoo

[Daven]

Can someone recommend me some Funeral Doom along the lines of Comatose Vigil, please.

I cant get enough off Not A Gleam Of Hope.

Reclusiam comes pretty close, but you already know them.
Wormphlegm might be worth checking out, althoug it doesn;t have the synths.

[Daven]

Damn, what i love about CV are the synths. Thanks anyway. :)

[the2stranger]

Damn, what i love about CV are the synths. Thanks anyway. :)
Shape Of Despair uses a lot of synths too.
But you probably know them too, the genre isn't too big. :(

[Daven]

Well, ive heard of them but havent listened to them yet. Ill check them out, thanks.

[Magicaltroll]

Has anyone here heard Sally?

They're pretty sweet, I got their album two days ago, and it's like slow heavy-Electric Wizard. Or atleast that's how I describe it :p


Oh yeah, I'm in a new band (for those of you that even kinda cared about Animal Cruelty). It's basically Doom Metal, but it's weird, I don't know. But the name's Of Fire, Of Stone. We've had one practice, and we already have four songs, haha. If any of you guys wanna check out our music, we might be recording today, so I can upload the mp3s to here or something.

[Magicaltroll]

This is kind of a bump, and a question.


I just got a 100$ Best Buy gift card, and I was wondering what the hell I could get at Best Buy that's like Doom Metal.


Any one have any ideas?

[Tyr]

What's Swallow the Sun like?

[Txus]

Like utterly amazing.

Magicaltroll: I liked your AC stuff, if you can upload the songs in here or send them to Txus.mx (at) Gmail.com that'll be great.

[Tyr]

Alrighty, I'll check them out.

[Txus]

If you want to listen to a song that captures everything about them, check out The Giant.

[Kage]

Boris is undoubtedly the best Stoner/Doom band. That is, when they are being a stoner/doom band.

[Luc214]

Naw, Swallow The Sun's best song is Through Her Silvery Body.

[Txus]

I never said The Giant was STS's best song....

[Daven]

Descending Winters is STS's best song.

[Luc214]

I don't believe I've listened to that song.

I still say Through Her Silvery Body is their best.

[Magicaltroll]

I like them alot, but Electric Wizard is my favorite.

[the2stranger]

What's Swallow the Sun like?
Swallow The Sun is a doom/death band from Finland.
It's really good stuff.
They have two albums out, which both rock.
The songs mentioned here are must hears for this band.

So:
The Giant
Descending Winters
Through Her Silvery Body

I can hit you up with both albums if you want.

[Tyr]

Yes, please.

Have you heard Boris' album Dronevil? It's heavier and ten times better than anything Electric Wizard has put out (this coming from an EW fan!).

If you want it I will send it to you. It's two discs, one drone disc and one "evil" disc that overlap if you synch them up. It's one of the best heavy albums I've ever heard.

[the2stranger]

Could I have it too?
peter_time (at) hotmail.com
Thanks a lot.

Anyone love Wormplhelegm too?
Damn, I've been on quite a binge with Tomb Of The Ancient King.
Really awesome and creepy, the atmopshere with this howling clean guitar over a wall of sound is just mesmerizing.

np: Wormphlegm - Epejulamat Monet Tesse Muinen Pauveltin Lauran Ja Lesse

[Werny]

Wormphlegm are ace, I didn't like their demo due to the extremely thin sound but I love Tomb of the Ancient King heaps.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got Tomb Of The Ancient King and it's alright.

[the2stranger]

I only have their full length, but that owns imo.
I love it, so eerie.

np: Sunn O))) - The Gates Of Ballard

[Werny]

I love their original take on Doom, it's neither Funeral or Death/Doom. It's almost sludge, really.

[RetiredAt21]

Do any of you guys like Grief or Graves At Sea?

[the2stranger]

I love their original take on Doom, it's neither Funeral or Death/Doom. It's almost sludge, really.

They do justice to 'Torture Doom' That says eough, they do sound sludgey at times.
I love them, so dark and creepy.

Do any of you guys like Grief or Graves At Sea?
Only heard them by name, any recommendations?

[RetiredAt21]

I highly reccomend you listen to anything you can get your hands on. It's all really good.

[the2stranger]

Aight. :)
With Grief, I assume you mean the american band and not the Icelandic or English one?

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Grief I'm talking about it American.

[the2stranger]

There is one other Grief that you could mean a drone/ doom band, one man,
But he hasn't released anything.
I'll be looking out for the american one. :)

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, I checked up, and I was talking about the American band. If you want, you can go to their myspace and listen to some songs. World Of Hurt is a great song.

Thanks man.

Also: Because I'd like to knw and because this thread could use a new sicussion impulse:

Does listening to (funeral/drone/stoner/sludge) doom influence your state of mind?
Do you get depressed by listening to it, or does it not affect you?
Or do you get affected in some other way, like get happy (eg Stoner music)

My answer:
I'm not really affected by the music I listen to, I listen a lot of Funeral Doom, one of the most depresing genres I could think off. But I dn't get :( because of listening to this genre. Same with any other 'slow' genre. Stoner makes me relaxed and layed back ( I don't smoke while listening to it, but still).

How about you guys?

[Nepenthe]

Nah, it doesn't really affect the mood I'm in. It can bring me from upset to happy though, just not the other way around. I remember the first time I heard Thergothon, it put me in such a good mood because it was so good, haha. Usually with Doom, it just puts me in, like you said, somewhat of a relaxed state. It never actually makes me depressed, but I can still enjoy the beauty of it's depression.

[Jondur]

I did a balanced, objective little peice on Candlemass's "Nightfall" on the reviews site. Have read if you want an even, non-sensational view on the place of this album in the metal pantheon.

Nah, the only music that affects me is Black Metal, only certain bands.


Like Blut Aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God, Wolves In The Throne Room - Diadem Of 12 Stars, and Leviathan - The Tenth Sublevel Of Suicide.
And Sigur Ros - ( ), but that's not really Black Metal :p



Do any of you listen to Giant Squid?
I love this band, I've been listening to them ever since my friend told me about them, after he saw them live with Aggaloch and Wolves In The Throne Room.

[the2stranger]

I only know Giant Squid because they're on The End records.
But besides that I draw a blanc.
Any recommendations? :)

As far as I know, they have only one album, and that's Metridium Field.

It's extremely good though, check out the songs Neonate, Summit, and Revolution In The Water. Neonate is my favorite though, the riff in the song is so awesome, I have it stuck in my head forever after I listen to it :p

Cool. Thanks a bunch, Ultima Thulee is such an amazing album :)

[RetiredAt21]

Does anyone like Kylesa?

www.myspace.com/kylesa

I think they rule.

You guys should check this band out, if you don't already know about them.

KHANATE Calls It Quits - Sep. 24, 2006

"Extreme doom" metal band KHANATE, the brainchild of Stephen O'Malley
(THORR'S HAMMER, BURNING WITCH, SUNN 0))), LOTUS EATERS) and James Plotkin
(OLD, SCORN, ATOMSMASHER), has disbanded. In a statement, Plotkin writes,
"I have decided to leave KHANATE due to the lack of commitment of certain
members. The decision was a difficult one, as I've put six years and
immeasurable amounts of creativity into the band hoping to take it as far
as possible. The past year has brought about many missed opportunities and
the realization that some players are more concerned with personal careers
and day jobs rather than the advancement of music as an artform.

"I will continue to work with drummer Tim Wyskida on a number of other
projects, mainly KHLYST and our improvisational duo.

"Gratitude to all those that have supported what we have done and
acknowledged our importance in modern music.

"The companion album to 'Capture & Release' is currently being mixed. This
yet untitled work consists of spontaneous recordings made during the 'C&R'
sessions dating back to February 2005. This will be my final work in
KHANATE. There are plans for Japanese issues of the self-titled and
'Things Viral' CDs with expanded packaging and bonus discs with unreleased
material."

:(
The only reaction I could conjure after reading that was "eh."

[the2stranger]

Why "eh'?
Is that good or bad?

[Kage]

It's just not caring. I wish I could acknowledge their importance, as he so eloquently put it, but I don't really find them to be all that important.

[the2stranger]

I enjoyed their music, that's all for me.
I don't find them to be very important, but still it's a shame. :(

[Tyr]

The new Katatonia was really good. I'll be sure to give it more listenings soon.

[the2stranger]

:D
Yes it's awesome eh?
Jonas has such emotive vocals.

Have you seen this:
http://metal-videos.blogspot.com/2006/07/katatonia-concert-in-poland.html
Live gig, awesome quality.

[repcak]

i never gave Katatonia a second chance ... i still prefer their death-doom era... and i love Brave Murder Day... this album is just perfect.

[Kage]

I love the part in the song Deliberation where he says: "See us sleep behind the glass, unaware of crime. Wil you wake us up before it is time?"

Great album. That concert you linked to is awesome. I get to see them this November, I'm so excited. :D

[the2stranger]

BMD is awesome, but I must say, I enjoy their rock-ish stuff better now.
Melancholy. :D

[repcak]

i don't know but i can't stand the lyrics...


so which rock-ish album their best one?

[Kage]

Why not?

[the2stranger]

I love Jonas lyrics.
Let me find some of my favorites:
My lips are dry you gave me drugs to try
Hold me when I die
The sky has frozen to a wall
We die we all

[repcak]

i have the great cold distance and viva emptiness - which is better?

[Kage]

Viva Emptiness is probably better because it's less produced and is more consistent throughout. I love that album so much. Plus, it's more unique, whereas TGCD basically just extended what they did on Viva Emptiness with better production.

[the2stranger]

VE is way more vocal driven, which is never bad with such an amzaing vocalist.
TGCD is great too, but I prefer VE.

A Premonition is so awesome, with the mellotron and Jonas vocal line following it's lead.

I'm going to play the album right now actually. :D

[repcak]

two more songs and the Hollenthon cd will end... then i will listen to VE.

[Kage]

I'm listening to TGCD, but VE is next up on my playlist. My favorite song on VE is Evidence. The ending, "I'm the evidence, you passed the test and that's so good for you.." is killer.

two more songs and the Hollenthon cd will end... then i will listen to VE.
Sweet, let us know.

[the2stranger]

Killer as well:
Look at me now they have cut my hair
It's a long way back
They kicked me down and I could not rise
I will never arrive

Great!
Repcak: Wht Hollenton cd do you have?
I heard a few songs by them on i-net radio, pretty cool.

[Kage]

Killer as well:
Look at me now they have cut my hair
It's a long way back
They kicked me down and I could not rise
I will never arrive

Great!.
Oh man, that part is so amazing, I get so lost in it every time.

[repcak]

I have Domus Mundi... i love them, how the mix all the elements + they are from vienna :D


Hollenthon is one of my fav bands... sure there are fav bands lyrical-wise, atmosphere-wise, guitar-wise, and so on... but hollenthon has its own category... "epic" will describe it at its best!!

i can recommend this cd to everyone!!!
http://sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=1194
can't imagine there is anyone who would not like it...

[the2stranger]

Oh man, that part is so amazing, I get so lost in it every time.

His vocals, he just sounds like he's going to die of misery.
Jonas is one of my favorite vocalists and Katatonia my top artitst on Lastfm.

np: Sleeper :cool:

I have Domus Mundi... i love them, how the mix all the elements + they are from vienna
Cool, never knew that.
Let me see if my distro has it.

[repcak]

NP: Katatonia - evidence

[the2stranger]

No Hollenton at my distro, sold out. Damn.

The lyrics to A Premonition are great too:

This is when I listen for the forgiving voice.
It haunts my dreams....
It haunts my dreams....

/Shivers. :)

[repcak]

i like the lyrics to sleeper... great song!

[the2stranger]

Anyonne fan of Damiel's chops?
They certainly made a progression, drumwise, since Brave Murder Day.
I'm so glad they took Daniel as a drummer, he has such creative beats and fills, he's a great axemple for me. :)

I really like him, yeah. I think I explained why in my review for Last Fair Deal Gone Down on Sputnik.

[the2stranger]

Great review.
I love the album.
I listened to it last week.

[Shattered_Future]

I personally like TGCD more, but both albums are excellent. Great lyrics.

Listening to some Mar De Grises now...South American death/doom band. So far, it's pretty good.

[repcak]

i am surprised about VE ... its better than i thought... its not that "great" but its nice to chill out...

[Txus]

Mar De Grises are awesome, best Chilenian (sp?) band I've listened to. Katatonia are one of my favorite bands EVER. Viva is their best effort yet, their old stuff is quite good also...especially Brave Murder Day.

[Poofy 666]

Mar De Grises are awesome, best Chilenian (sp?) band I've listened to.

Coprofago :)

[marinos321]

Doom is ok, but stoner is great!!! i dont like doom that much, even if they are very close. sludge will do better for me :P
Down is the best band, and kyuss of course!!!

[the2stranger]

Sleep is my favorite stoner band. :smoke:

[Magicaltroll]

Hey guys, tell me what you think of my Doom Metal song so far. IT's just the intro part, but I need to know if it's good or not, since I'm entering it in the MX Competition this month.

(my vocals are ****ty, I know, and they're also a ripoff of Electric Wizard basically)


It's called, Addi-what?.

http://www.snapdrive.net/files/52848/addi-what.mp3

[repcak]

the vocals could be a little louder and maybe a 2nd guitar track? overall its nice...

edit: and mix up the drums... some bass, some snare (i'm not a drummer and don't know how this all is named) - it sounds a little bit like only a metronome....

[Pirate Satellite]

Hey guys, this is actually my first time ever in Rock and Metal.

I'm in the market for music that's more stoner-than-metal stoner metal. Something kind of like Dead Meadows/Black Sabbath. The thing is, I really haven't stepped too deep into the genre at all and don't know much of where to even begin.

Hell, I don't even know if I'm asking this in the right place.

Well, thanks in advance, guys.

Yeah, I got that feeling too :/

But I was going for simplistic, so yeah.


I do plan on making a lead part for the intro though, I just have to find the right guitar tone for it. Thanks for the feedback.

[repcak]

keep me informed...

[Phototropic]

Sleep is my favorite stoner band. :smoke:

I bought the Jerusalem album the other day

I can see its greatness, but I can't listen all the time you know

Have yet to sit down and listen to the full hour

[the2stranger]

^
And have a nice beer with that ( and a smoke if you do that, I don't do that anymore) You'll have the most awesome time and WILL enjoy it. :)

Even if your vocals are shitty, it sounds nice when they're buried under the guitars like that. Keep going with it.

[Magicaltroll]

I know, that's what I thought.

Other people don't like that though. But this isn't their song :p



I'm gonna add more to it later on tonight, or tomorrow morning.

KHANATE Calls It Quits - Sep. 24, 2006

"Extreme doom" metal band KHANATE, the brainchild of Stephen O'Malley
(THORR'S HAMMER, BURNING WITCH, SUNN 0))), LOTUS EATERS) and James Plotkin
(OLD, SCORN, ATOMSMASHER), has disbanded. In a statement, Plotkin writes,
"I have decided to leave KHANATE due to the lack of commitment of certain
members. The decision was a difficult one, as I've put six years and
immeasurable amounts of creativity into the band hoping to take it as far
as possible. The past year has brought about many missed opportunities and
the realization that some players are more concerned with personal careers
and day jobs rather than the advancement of music as an artform.

"I will continue to work with drummer Tim Wyskida on a number of other
projects, mainly KHLYST and our improvisational duo.

"Gratitude to all those that have supported what we have done and
acknowledged our importance in modern music.

KHANATE. There are plans for Japanese issues of the self-titled and
'Things Viral' CDs with expanded packaging and bonus discs with unreleased
material."

:(

I'm glad I got to see them before this happened. At least it's not like one of them died or something, I'd be so pissed if Plotkin died.

[Magicaltroll]

Do you honestly think no-one would notice how much it sounds like the song Black Sabbath?

By... who?

Black Sabbath?


If so, I don't listen to them much (only heard War Pigs and the other radio songs), but if it sounds a ton like a song already, I'm gonna be really pissed off...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Man, anyone who hasn't heard Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath is really missing out.

That riff is so damn heavy.

[Jondur]

How the hell can you not of heard Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath?!

Anyway - hear it now. The best riff ever written.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Anyway - hear it now. The best riff ever written.
:thumb:

[Phototropic]

Been digging a fair bit of sleep, just discovered Dragonaut which seems a lot more mellow than jerusalem / dopesmoker

Is Holy Mountain a good album!?

[Stoic]

Other Black Sabbath songs are better than Black Sabbath. My favourite has always been NIB, followed by Electric Funeral and After Forever <3

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You are wrong Orestes.

WRONG :mad:

[Stoic]

Oh, come on, how can you like "Black Sabbath" more than the songs I mentioned?...:(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Because it has THE RIFF!

<3

[Stoic]

Ah the riff :-\

Anyways, I don't think MagicalTroll's song is THAT similar to "Black Sabbath" except for the intro of course. It heavily reminds me of Electric Wizard.

NP Genesis \m/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've been meaning to check out Electric Wizard.

Are Spirit Caravan worth getting? They have Wino so I assume it is pretty good but I still want an opinion.

[RetiredAt21]

Electric Wizard are pretty sweet.

[Stoic]

Jondur hates Electric Wizard Jono.

[Magicaltroll]

How the hell can you not of heard Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath?!

Anyway - hear it now. The best riff ever written.

So, I pretty much wrote the best riff ever written, but Black Sabbath beat me to it?

[Magicaltroll]

Ah the riff :-\

Anyways, I don't think MagicalTroll's song is THAT similar to "Black Sabbath" except for the intro of course. It heavily reminds me of Electric Wizard.

NP Genesis \m/

Yea'.

If I was 'ripping off' anyone, I'd say it was Electric Wizard.



And my friend said my song sounded like Black Sabbath because of the rain behind the riff or something, so is that why it sounds so similiar to the BS song? Or is it just that the riff just really sounds like them? I don't really get it...


I'll download the song later I guess.

[Stoic]

No the riff is not the same. Just the rain effect with the buzz I would say :) Hey guys, does anyone care to upload the song, I don't have the album anymore..

[Magicaltroll]

No the riff is not the same. Just the rain effect with the buzz I would say :) Hey guys, does anyone care to upload the song, I don't have the album anymore..

Ok, as long as the riff doesn't sound stolen, then whatever.

I just grabbed a sample from an At TheDrive In song, that's where the rain came from. I haven't heard alot of songs with rain in them, so I thought it'ds be cool to try.

what are some other great funeral doom bands that are similar to Shape of Despair?

the thing i just love (i live on the 8th floor) is listening to doom (especially Anathema, My Dying Bride, Shape of Despair or some other great bands) and watching out of the window... whole vienna under my feet and you can see the main church of vienna in light... its so beautiful... wait i will make a photo for you (its already dark)

[CabbageStabbage]

So I might be covering an Earth song for a concert at school...

I say "might" because I don't know if I'm in. I'm in with my band, but this is just going to be me with a clean guitar. I'll be in if there aren't too many bands auditioning. For the last song, I'll get my friend to back me up and we'll play Raiford (the felon wind) by Earth.

[repcak]

i was so much disappointed by Earth live ....

[CabbageStabbage]

I saw they have a trombone player. Didn't hear any trombone in any of their songs though

[Niflheim]

I have been listening to alot of Witch lately.

[repcak]

btw. i can't wait for winter (and autumn) ... its always the time when i listen a lot to doom metal bands like Anathema, Katatonia, My Dying Bride, etc.

it just began for me.... i haven't listen as much doom metal in the last few days as in the last half year before... its such a great feeling. on the one hand melancholy, on the other happiness... its strange.

ps.: don't forget about my post on the page before ;)

[Stoic]

i was so much disappointed by Earth live ....

why?

[repcak]

i never heard a single song by them - on the sunn O))) concert it was the first time i heard them and i expected something different...

for me they were progressive rock, not drone

[Bartender]

Their newer stuff isn't very drone-like, except that it's slow. Their earlier albums are reputedly really groundbreaking in terms of it, thuogh.

[repcak]

for the first time of my life i wrote lyrics for a song....

i always wrote time "ideas" for songs/lyrics but never finished one... and now i wrote one in 10minutes :D (not 100% satisfied but its ok)

[Kage]

Let's see it!

[repcak]

ok, but don't be too harsh in critics ... its my first (real) text i wrote for a song, while i was listening to lacrimas profundere... but ok.... maybe you have some better ideas (in the sense of vocabulary) ;)

sitting on the beach, staring at the sinking sun.
all my fellows gone to the sea of forsaken.
the sand as uncomfortable as myself/my mood. (i'm not sure about this one)
the last actinism reaching me,
leaving a shadow of my shattered soul

chorus:
desire hope
desire fortune/luck (don't know which to take)
desire hate
desire love
desire acceptance
... all at once ... forever

darkness surrounds me in the nescience
ask myself ... will i ever reach the path to fulfillment?
in the black water i will find my answer.
in the deepness of knowledge of death

... i fail
... the world won't come back ... again.

[Kage]

Wow, great metaphor there. I like it. Really powerful.

[repcak]

^^ thanks

maybe some suggestions? some better words i could use? i'm not really happy with the chorus and as you can see its similar to Trent Reznors Eraser.

and i'm not sure if i can leave the following words (i took them from a dictionairy :p )
sea of forsaken?
actinism
nescience
in the deepness of knowledge of death (or maybe: in the deepness of the knowledge of death)

are the meanings of the words delivered? how i said, i took the german word i was searching for and searched in a dictionary...

[Cocaine]

I just listened to Solitude Aeturnus' cover of Heaven and Hell. Their ability to cover one of my all time favourite songs is making me look further into them.

[Nepenthe]

I just listened to Isis' Hand Of Doom cover.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Solitude Aeturnus are extremely good.

[Sleepy]

That Bongzilla album that Txus uploaded is pretty awesome. Spiritual Beggars are cool too.

[Nepenthe]

Welcome To Sky Valley kicked my high *** a few hours ago.

[ATM]

Any Graves At Sea fans?

[pate]

Solitude Aeturnus are extremely good.

My favorite doom band.

[repcak]

NP: Novembre - Swim Seagull In The Sky

[pate]

I've been listening to a lot of doom recently, to get in that mindset for my band's upcoming doom album.

I went through Grand Magus "Monument", Candlemass "Nightfall", Cathedral "The Ethereal Mirror" and "The Garden of Unearthly Delights", Solitude Aeturnus "Beyond the Crimson Horizon" and Black Sabbath "Vol. 4" twice.

[RetiredAt21]

Any Graves At Sea fans?

I love Graves At Sea. They are such a great band.

[AA-12]

Anyone like Witchfinder General?

[pate]

ME!!!!

They completely rule!

[RetiredAt21]

I'm listening to Grief. They rule.

[AA-12]

Yep. I just got the Soviet Invasion EP.

[Txus]

I've been listening to A LOOOT of Funeral Doom lately, Comatose Vigil FTW \m/

[Bartender]

Anyone like Witchfinder General?

I've been trying to buy Death Penalty for quite a while now. It's difficult.

I haven't even heard them, I just can't see how I could fail to like a band called Witchfinder General.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Death Penalty is really good, Soviet Invasion isn't bad either. I see you have been browsing Metal-Archives, Josh :p

My favorite doom band.
Hah, I was wondering when you would appear.

[pate]

Death Penalty is really good, Soviet Invasion isn't bad either. I see you have been browsing Metal-Archives, Josh :p


Hah, I was wondering when you would appear.


Yeah, they both own.

I've been in this thread since it's creation, I just haven't had many points in which to interject.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well I was refering more to the mere mention of Solitude Aeturnus :p

[pate]

Ahhh. Indeed, I can smell a mention of Solitude Aeturnus from....anywhere on Earth.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I need more of their stuff, actually.

I've been listening to A LOOOT of Funeral Doom lately, Comatose Vigil FTW \m/

\m/
:cool:

My distro is really slow at restocking the funeral doom releases so I'll prbably be buying some traditional doom this week and some drone.

np: Sunn O))) & Boris - Akuma No Kuma

I do too. I only have Beyond the Crimson Horizon and Through the Darkest Hour.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only got Through The Darkest Hour :(

[pate]

Then you have the lesser of the two. There's a link for BTCH (I love that abbreviation) on the famous Russian site.

[Phototropic]

I just bought Saved by magic and Brant Bjork and the Operators....anybody got them / like them?!

Tell me bout them :D

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Actually I made a mistake, the only Solitude Aeturnus I have is Beyond The Crimson Horizon.

[pate]

Ahhh. Good man. Russian site has a link to TTDH.

[Phototropic]

Seems like this is only a doom thread now :( Haven't seen any stoner bands mentioned for pages / months

[the2stranger]

Sleep ftw!
