Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[Neoteric]

Very good.Sweet, I d/led that album you uploaded, I'm rather enjoying it.

[Daven]

Entombed By Winter is such a good song.

[Txus]

Fallen are really damn good. Yes, I uploaded it Mike :)

Forgotten Tomb are also ace.

[Sleepy]

Confessor is, indeed, good ****.

[pate]

Indeed, Confessor owns.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm a little hesitant in checking out Confessor. To be honest, Technical Doom sounds like it would be pretty gay.

[the2stranger]

I've been whoring Mouth of the Architect for a long time and no one pays any attention.

I never noticed. :(

Are Novembers Doom any good?
I'm seeing them on the 17th of this month.
I'm mainly going for the support.
Agalloch and Saturnus.
:D

[Txus]

Holy ****. Saturnus are great!

[Jondur]

It's time this thread turned up the doom.

Witchfinder General are reforming! But without Zeeb on Vox.

[pate]

I heard that. Great news.

Jono: I was skeptical as well, but they're really good. The technicality isn't in "dwee dee dee" style riffs. The riffs and drums are slightly more technical than most traditional doom. I would even say it's more trad doom than "technical doom"

[Bartender]

It's time this thread turned up the doom.

Witchfinder General are reforming! But without Zeeb on Vox.

Is it a reformation for a tour, or a full-on new material thing?

[pate]

They're starting to write a new album.

[Txus]

New Witchfinder General? Awesome :D

[AlienEater]

I've been whoring Mouth of the Architect for a long time and no one pays any attention.

I didn't know this.

[Sleepy]

Yay for Witchfinder General. Although they better have a good vocalist to replace Zeeb.

[pate]

Calling all Ozzy soundalikes. Maybe the guy from Sahg would work. :p

[Sleepy]

Calling all Ozzy soundalikes. Maybe the guy from Sahg would work. :p

Hah, he might.

Or WG will go the whole nine yards and draft Ozzy himself. They might even make an album or two before he gets too senile to make anything/dies.

[Patrick O)))]

Him from Mastodon's kinda Ozzylike. Brent Hinds, with the awesome tattoos

[pate]

That was a confusing sentence.

[Patrick O)))]

Correction

TWO confusing sentences

[AlienEater]

Not that confusing, but a fair bit.

[Sleepy]

Awful syntax. ftl

I get the jist (gist?) of it, though.

[Kyle]

So The Melvins are playing in my town next month, I don't really know a lot about them, but I guess I should go.

Downloading Houdini now, if I like it then i'll book tickets.

[pate]

So the other day I found three more Solitude Aeturnus albums. I just finished Into the Depths of Sorrow, and it freaking owns!!1 I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, but I expected the albums other than BTCH and TTDH to be kind of meh.

[Sleepy]

The Melvins are playing here on the 28th, but it's a 21+ show. :(

[ATM]

Such a great album.

Any Orange Goblin fans in here?

I'm listening to Frequencies From Planet 10 right now. It's great. :)

Orange Goblin are great :)

I'd like to see them live.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Witchfinder General reunion? Awesome.

Nah - Into the Depths of Sorrow is great! I also really like Downfall. Adagio isn't as great but still has its moments - also has a fantastic production.

[pate]

Downfall is really, really good, but ITDOS is ****ing amazing. After that post I got the new one, and I would have to say it sucks. :(

[Jondur]

I haven't heard the new one yet. I will get it at some point but I've heard mixed reviews.

[pate]

It seems really toned down. The vocals are mellow, and there aren't as many solos. The end of it is much better than the beginning though.

[the2stranger]

/Whores.

I just posted a review on Ahab - Call Of The Wretched Sea:
see it here:
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_9966
:)

[Daven]

Ohhh, some days a go i finally payed close attention to Wormphlegm's Tomb Of The Ancient King and i must say is f'ing good. Its up there as my favorite FD album, along with Not A Gleam Of Hope.

[AlienEater]

Wormphlegm have a funny name.

I'm listening to Floor right now. Anyone else like them.

[Nuke Broadcast]

floor? cant say ive heard anything by them. but Fistula? hells yes.

[the2stranger]

Wormphlegm might have a weird name, but they're great.
Rarely have I heard such insane torture doom/funeral doom.

np:Solitude Aeturnus - Seeds Of The Desolate

[AlienEater]

I know nothing about Funeral Doom.

[magicbus]

Do you guys know anything about stoner metal tone? Like what kind of distortion and settings the Melvins use, for example.

[Kage]

The key to stoner metal mayhem:

Low: 10
High: 0
Mid: 0

x 100000

[magicbus]

:lol: Yea I figured something like that, but I'm talking like the kind of distortion they use.

[Sleepy]

:lol: Yea I figured something like that, but I'm talking like the kind of distortion they use.

Melvins distortion really just sounds like Grunge/Punk-ish distortion with complete low end rape.

[Phototropic]

Gain: full
Volume: half
deep / bass : 3/4
treble / mid: half

:thumb:

I ordered a few CDs the other day ready for christmas!!

Nebula - appolo
Witch - s/t
Cult of Luna - somewhere along the highway
Isis - in the absence of truth
Nebula - Charged (Vinyl)
annnd
Bongzilla - Americajuana

looking forward to sitting back with them

[magicbus]

K thanks dudes.

So Esoteric is sweet, Pelican and Isis are sweet, and I'm digging Om too (who I'm sending out for the Daily Upload). That's what I figured out this weekend.

[the2stranger]

Was it the Esoteric I uploaded?
If so, it's a great album, all their stuff is good, but the production on their latest is so good.

[Kyle]

Charged by Nebula is great, one of my favorites by them. The track This One is amazing.

[Kage]

I'm sending Om out for the Daily Upload
Sweet, I want to check them out.

[magicbus]

Esoteric

I didn't actually get it from the DU, but my friend sent me Subconcious Dissolution and Metamorphogenesis. Both very cool albums.

Kage: I'm gonna upload Om's other album in the next few days too. I think they're both pretty good.

[AlienEater]

Yeah they're cool

[Nostalgia]

I just got Ahab's The Call Of The Wretched Sea and am giving it a listen now. So far it's excellent, but I still need to download the other half of it for some reason. :(

AHAB!
Hell yeah.
I love them!

Their cd has been non stop in my cd player since I bought it.
So dark and collosal.

[Txus]

They're definitely in my top 5 fav. FD bands.

[the2stranger]

What the hell is in my top 5 actually?
/Thinks.

1) Shape Of Despair
2) Comatose Vigil
3) Ahab
4) Mournful Congregation
5) Skepticism

I think.....

Wormphlegm
Skepticism
Reclusiam
Shape Of Despair

[2muchket!]

I downloaded some Kyuss other day. I d/l Green Machine, Freedom Run and Mondo Generator, and so far I've liked what I heard. Any recommendations on albums would be much appreciated.

[pate]

Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley.

[randomthought9]

I just got into Sunn O))), I like them. I don't know too much about doom metal though, what are the biggest bands?

[Sleepy]

Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley.

Seconded. Two classic stoner albums.

[2muchket!]

I was thinking about getting BFTRS but thanks anyway I'll pick up Welcome To Sky Valley too.

[AlienEater]

Get some Electric Wizard

[Phototropic]

Dopethrone by the 'lec wiz is one of the best albums ever

it probably is the heaviest album recorded, i can't think of something that tops it

so much hate :)

[Cocaine]

Man, Sunn 0))) ****ing sucks. I heard a few of their tracks and it sounded like a big wet ****ing fart, it wasn't interesting in the least.

[niobium]

I bought Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley at a used place. It has this on the front in gold lettering:

FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY.
SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS
PROHIBITED. MUST BE RETURNED ON

[Cocaine]

You basically bought a promo copy someone got for free. Is there a hole punched in the spine of it?

[niobium]

Nope.

:D

Ah. Well then that's odd.

[Phototropic]

sounds rare

sounds like a keeper!!

NP: Mogwai - Auto-rock :)

[Patrick O)))]

lol Jon, IT'S A KEEPER ANYWAY! :rolleyes:

[niobium]

I found Blues for the Red Sun a week later at the same store. I also saw Wretch that day, but I didn't buy it because I never heard it before. I haven't seen it since then :/

[Patrick O)))]

Wretch is good, but it's true what they say; the production IS pretty sub-par

Still full of tunes any stoner band would kill for.

Blues... is one of my favourite albums, and pretty much constantly vies for title of Best Kyuss album imo against Sky Valley.

...And The Circus Leaves Town was the first Kyuss album I ever got, so that's another favourite. It was one of those times that you're talking to someone when you put an album on, and you have to tell them to go away ...

Kyuss = the best

every album is great,although recently i've been playing sky valley a lot more than the others

Even though alot of people don't like Wretch i think its fookin bangin :chug:

[AlienEater]

Wretch is OK.

[Patrick O)))]

Wretch is pretty good. But it's let down by the production something awful

[the2stranger]

I just got into Sunn O))), I like them. I don't know too much about doom metal though, what are the biggest bands?

Sunn O))) is't doom though, it's closely related.
Sunn O))) is drone, if you're looking for doom metal try:
Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Katatonia, My Dying Bride.

All sorts of slow music rule tough.
Stoner, drone, doom, funeral, doom/death/sludge.
:D

No





what?

[AlienEater]

I don't understand

[Patrick O)))]

Not heard owt by Dopethrone tbh

[Neoteric]

i've been listening to Cathedral a lot lately.

[pate]

I've been on a big Cathedral kick for a few weeks. Great band.

[Neoteric]

The album The Carnival Bizarre has been on my playlist for a few weeks now.

[pate]

It and The Ethereal Mirror are my most-played Cathedral albums.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only got Forest of Equilibrium by them. I've never listened to it much tbh, even though it was the first Doom album I ever heard.

[AA-12]

Cathedral is okay. Lately i've been into the unholy trio of Orodruin, Count Raven, and The Gates of Slumber.

[Txus]

The Gates Of Slumbeeeer! \m/

I loooove every single album by them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Orodruin, Reverend Bizarre and The Gates of Slumber win as far as newer Trad bands go.

[Daven]

I've been meaning to check Orodruin out.

[AA-12]

Reverend Bizarre can't keep my interest past like 2 songs. Good stuff though.

[Txus]

I bought 1 Candlemass shirt today :)

[AA-12]

Candlemass shirts are amazing.

[Txus]

Indeed they are. I bought this one:

http://rocknrollshirtshop.com/BIZyCart.ASP

[Freezing Moon]

Reverend Bizarre can't keep my interest past like 2 songs. Good stuff though.

Hmm.. I feel like that when I'm not in the mood for that type of thing but when I am I can listen to them endlessly.

[Zedthephish]

Here's some local doom to check out:
http://www.myspace.com/ocean

[AA-12]

That's actually really good. Probably post-metal though, not doom really.

[Zedthephish]

They call themselves doom, I just enjoy it.

Maine actually has a really killer metal scene, it's just impossible to export, because we're basically in canada.

[Jondur]

Orodruin, Reverend Bizarre and The Gates of Slumber win as far as newer Trad bands go.

You forgot Warning. Speaking of whom, their new album is out in the next month. All the reviews I've read are more than positive! I 've ordered mine already (in a limited edition hand-carved box no less!).

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The Strength To Dream is great, so I'll have to check that one out.

[Neowens]

anyone heard the desert sessions by josh homme and others? that cab b epretty stoner at times. Its really hit andmiss though, listen to a#1 though, what a track, its like hendrix and kyuss mixed.

[AlienEater]

the desert sessions are cool, but some suck. 1and 2 are the best

[pate]

I talked with the singer/guitarist of Sahg over youtube yesterday. He said they're working on another album and will return to the States after it's release early next year.

FOR THE WIN :)

I will go no matter who they are opening for.

No idea. They did this time, opening for Celtic Frost, but who knows in the future.

Can someone send me a sample of Sahg?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I was in the Daily Upload recently, the link is still active.

[AA-12]

They were sent to the daily upload a while back.

[pate]

Twice lawl

[rippa32]

Has anyone here got the Sub-Basement album from Pentagram? Ive only got the mp3 of Drive Me To The Grave and I love the vocal style Bobby uses on that compared to the other Pentagram stuff I have. Does the other songs on that album feature this vocal style?

[Shattered_Future]

I'm actually listening to I right now. It's owning my ears rather hard at the moment.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Twice lawl
That is so annoying seeing the same albums in the Daily Upload, sometimes I wish there weren't requests. I've lost count of how many times A Celebration of Guilt and A Diamond For Disease have been in there.

[pate]

Well, Txusie and I both uploaded the Sahg album for our Vs. issue, so that's a bit different. But agreed, way to many albums get done multiple times.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's always the same bands too. Arsis, Necrophagist, Atheist etc. In other words all the bands that are or have been fads around mx.

[pate]

Yeah, Necrophag **** has been beaten to death by the DU.

[AlienEater]

Hey they're not called that.

[Txus]

Don't insult Necro plz :)

I always upload bands that haven't been uploaded before :mad:

What, I just shortened their name :confused:

[ATM]

I finally get to see Wino play! Gonna go to a Hidden Hand show.

[pate]

You're lucky.

all this talk of uploading makes me want to submit some items.

No ****. I was playing innocent, like the Japanese are so good at doing.

[the2stranger]

Damn.
I haven't posted here for ages, or on MX in fact.
So what's new in doom land?
I've been giving Skepticism some more play lately, great funeral doom, I love the sick atmosphere on Farmakon.

I'm also probably seeing Pantheist in ten days.
\m/

[rhcp pman]

Skepticism is beautiful. They play great funeral doom properly.

[the2stranger]

Indeed.
I still need to get Lead And Aether though.

[AlienEater]

I finally get to see Wino play! Gonna go to a Hidden Hand show.

awesome

I got Isis, Oceanic Remixes and Reinterpretations today

[Phototropic]

on the off chance i asked a family member to get me the Isis dvd for xmas thinkin there's no way in hell they could

THEY DID!!!! :lol:

can't wait til xmas day, i can trip out with my family in the same house and not cause offence

[the2stranger]

Wow, this thread can use a serious bump

So what's everyones thougts about te Frsnch funeral doom band Monolithe?
O uploaded a CD by them yesterday for the daily.

I love them.

[Daven]

Monolithe is awesome. I dled the album you sent.

[Txus]

Yeah, they were really good.

[Shattered_Future]

I'll listen to them later...it sparked my interest quite a bit though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I downloaded that Ahab album that Peter uploaded. It was my first real experience with doom and I must say, I was a little dissapointed. :-/ Could have seen it coming though, as it's not exactly my cup of tea to begin with.

[Txus]

It's not traditional Doom though.

[Bartender]

Yeah, listen to some real doom before you write the whole lot off.

[Kage]

I agree with Bartender.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah. Ahab is funeral doom and sound a lot different than most traditional doom bands.

Try Candlemass.

[Txus]

Some good Doom you might want to check, Jake:
Candlemass
St. Vitus
The Gates of Slumber
Isole
Solitude Aeturnus
Solstice
Cathedral

[Sleepy]

Yeah, finally got my hands on that Ahab album; it's good stuff.

I've had Monolithe for a while. That's good as well.

[pate]

I second Mike's list, and add Pentagram to it.

[Phototropic]

I know they ain't really stoner or doom but I'm really getting into Neurosis

ordered A sun that never sets and Souls at zero for christmas

:)

[Txus]

Neurosis are one of my favorite bands. I have A Sun that Never Sets (Japanese Version) :D

Really good album.

[the2stranger]

I downloaded that Ahab album that Peter uploaded. It was my first real experience with doom and I must say, I was a little dissapointed. :-/ Could have seen it coming though, as it's not exactly my cup of tea to begin with.

Hey. :)
The fubneral doom night be a bit too extreme to begin with.
The others mentioned some classic doom, I think that will be easier to get in to.

I am totaly in love with Ahab though.
Great band.
But than again, I love almost every fd band. :p

[Txus]

FD is a really hard genre to get into, once you're in is like cocaine though.

[the2stranger]

Yes it is.
Ahab is my 8th favorite band on last.fm and tha's saying quite something since all their songs are around the ten minute+ mark. :lol:

[Txus]

Haha. I don't listen to FD every day but when I do I always enter a serious binge. I listened to Comatose Vigil yesterday :D

[the2stranger]

I might pop that in to my CD player as sleeping music tonight. :D
FD makes me very happy, how strange. :-\

What are your latest FD discoveries Mike?

[Txus]

Haha, FD gives me inner peace for some reason :p

My latest? Probably Of Darkness (30 Minute songs FTW), Source of Deep Shadows and Asunder.

[AlienEater]

Where's a good FD sarting point?

[the2stranger]

Shape Of Despair is pretty good to start with, or early Skepticism (FD pioneers).

[AlienEater]

Alright. I may get them sometime

[Txus]

Also try some Comatose Vigil.

[AA-12]

FD clicked with me the first band I heard, though they aren't 100% FD really.

[the2stranger]

Which band was that Josh?

[AA-12]

Isole.

[Iron Bars]

I'm now listening to Ahab and it's pretty good, also tried Panteist this week and liked it.

What is the difference between Doom and Funeral Doom anyway? It sounds very the same (both being doom could probably do that).

[Shattered_Future]

I don't think Isole funeral doom at all. I think them as traditional, except they're what I like to call "new doom".

My Dying Bride and Swallow The Sun do it sometimes too...all 3 of the bands have moments where the tempo actually comes out of the ground, which I do like. It helps give the music new flair.

Funeral doom is pretty much doom on steroids. It's got all the elements of doom, except taken to the extreme: tempos are slowed to the point where they almost go backwards, and the vocals and lyrics are completely devoid of anything remotely happy.

I still can't get into FD that much. I think it drags on quite a bit...

[ATM]

I haven't tried any FD but I like traditional doom quite a bit. Cathedral and Saint Vitus ftw :-D

[AlienEater]

St Vitus are brilliant.

[Txus]

NP: BORN TOO LATE :cool:


/Continues playing bass.

[Totenkrieg]

Funeral Doom is a genre largely full of ****, with the exception of Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet.

[RetiredAt21]

What is the difference between doom and funeral doom?

[Kage]

Doom - repetitive and slow
Funeral doom - more repetitive and slower

[RetiredAt21]

Doom - repetitive and slow
Funeral doom - more repetitive and slower

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[Kage]

You're quite welcome.

[RetiredAt21]

What are the best funeral doom bands that I should check out?

[magicbus]

I like Esoteric myself.

[RetiredAt21]

I like Esoteric myself.

Ok, thanks, I'll definitely check them out.

[pate]

Thergothon and Ahab got me into it.

[the2stranger]

I'm now listening to Ahab and it's pretty good, also tried Panteist this week and liked it.

What is the difference between Doom and Funeral Doom anyway? It sounds very the same (both being doom could probably do that).

Classic doom obviously stands out for the use of clean vocals, while FD has more connections with death metal. Mostly in vocal style.
Growled or whispergrowl like vocals, though there are enough bands that use clean vocals too.

Normal doom focuses more on the heavy, doomy, gloomy sound, wile FD is more about the dark, heavy, inpenetrable 'despair' sound; the I want to kill myself sound.
It's quite hard to explain..
Obviously, FD is way slower than classic.
Also FD more often uses synths and layers more.

Funeral Doom is a genre largely full of ****, with the exception of Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet.
If you'd be a bit more open minded you'd see it isn't mostly ****. There's a lot of good stuff. With a view like that you're missing out on a lot.

For people wanting recommendations:
Make sure you've heard something similair before, cause this isn't easy listening music.
You need to have some clue on what to expect before you can appreciate this.
So some classic doom might be a good starter before even going in to FD.

Anyway good Funeral doom recommendations:
Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet (Pioneers of FD, highly recommended, very relaxing at tme and not as suffocating as some other FD)
Ahab -The Call Of The Wrteched Sea. (Newcomers in the genre, made a great album about Moby Dick, very good, atmopsheric stuff)
Thergothon - Stream From The Heavens (Also pioneers in the genre, too bad they only made obne album before calling it quits.)
Shape Of Despair - Angels Of Distress (Finnish funeral doom with female vocals as well. Insane and mourning atmosphere, recommended for synth lovers.)
Comatose Vigil - Not A Gleam Of Hope (Sick Russian FD, lots of synths once again, very eery and sick atmosphere.)

[Txus]

^Lawl.

[Iron Bars]

I'm listening to Below the sun for the third or fourth time now. I love this song, the drums about 9 minutes in are briliant. Haven't gotten past Old thunder yet, I keep going back when I start listening again.

It reminds me more of Black Metal then Death Metal, atmospheric wise.

[pate]

I love everything doom.

[Txus]

I've been listening to a loooooot of Stoner Metal lately. High on Fire are so damn good.

[pate]

*Pretty good.

[Jondur]

What is the difference between Doom and Funeral Doom anyway? It sounds very the same (both being doom could probably do that).

No. Really no.

What doom have you even heard that sounds anything like Shape of Despair or whatever Funeral Slow Death Metal with Goffik Keyboards you youngsters listen to these days? I'm sorry but once again, I fail to see any link between Trouble, Vitus, Pentagram etc and these bands.

Anyway been in bed with an evil virus for a couple of days. My pain was eased considerably by the following: Trouble "Live at Stockholm" DVD, Pentagram "Be Forewarned", Place of Skulls "The Black is Never Far", While Heaven Wept "Chapter 1", Dreaming "II".

[Bartender]

Funeral doom is pretty much doom on steroids.

You mean 'sedatives', right?


If you'd be a bit more open minded you'd see it isn't mostly ****. There's a lot of good stuff. With a view like that you're missing out on a lot.

Well not necessarily. You can be perfectly open-minded and just not happen to like funeral doom much.

[Sleepy]

I love everything doom.

Because doom is just an extremely lovable genre.

/Not sarcasm

I've been listening to a loooooot of Stoner Metal lately. High on Fire are so damn good.

FINALLY!!! Someone who doesn't say they suck. High on Fire are great.

Orange Goblin, too.

[Shattered_Future]

You mean 'sedatives', right?



Well not necessarily. You can be perfectly open-minded and just not happen to like funeral doom much.

In my context, something on steroids is something that's taken to the extreme. Which funeral doom is. It's got the elements of normal doom, but everything is taken to an extreme level.

[south_guitar]

This is currently my favorite style. I've been digging everything from Buried Inside, Cult of Luna, and Isis all the way to Acid King, Alabama Thunderpussy, and Earthride.

[Jondur]

It's got the elements of normal doom, but everything is taken to an extreme level.

Like what? Slow doesn't equal doom! I've been listening to this stuff for a long time (strokes beard, lights pipe, puts comfy slippers on and settles down in favourite armchair) and I just don't hear any doom in Funeral Slow Death Metal.

Doom is about Sabbath basically. It needs that link to the masters. A purity of heritage and a love for SG guitars!

Go and listen to some Rising Dust.

[AlienEater]

Because doom is just an extremely lovable genre.

/Not sarcasm



FINALLY!!! Someone who doesn't say they suck. High on Fire are great.

Orange Goblin, too.

Orange Goblin aren't great.

High on Fire are

I've always taken doom to be depressing and heavy. Which funeral doom does to quite the extent.

[Sleepy]

I love Orange Goblin. They always have a bunch of real jazzy sounding licks thrown everywhere in what I've heard.

[reaperpa]

Electric wizard has to be the best stoner doom band in my eyes
they have so much bass
they are just like a heavier version of sabbath

[AA-12]

Yeah, they are awesome.

[pate]

Amazing band

[BOG180]

I've been starting to get into the stoner metal genre, alittle doom also. Kyuss right now is my favorite, because I haven't found anyone else that sounds as positive as them in a stoner metal band, I understand that doom metal isn't supposed to really sound positve hence the "doom".The only other bands I've checked out so far have been Sleep, Cathedral, Orange Goblin, and alittle bit of Trouble. I like the music and everythign but I do wish there was more of a variaty in the songs.

[AA-12]

Happy doom would just not be good. It defeats the entire point.

[pate]

Cathedral is kind of "fun"

check out bomb the sun

[Shattered_Future]

I have to admit, Bomb The Sun is pretty freaking awesome.

[Sleepy]

I concur.

[Phototropic]

glad you're enjoying it

[AlienEater]

I find them pretty hilarious.

[Patrick O)))]

Neither stoner nor doom, but I'd recommend to any of you guys Octaves Of The Holy Innocents by Buckethead, Helborg and Shrieve

It's an acoustic jazz cd. Just got it on an impulse when I saw a Buckethead cd under Jazz on the system at work, and it arrived today. It's superb

[pixiesfanyo]

Does anyone have a Bomb The Sun album I could get because they're ****ing tight.

[the2stranger]

Nice you're posting this here. :lol:
Accoustic jazz sounds good though.

On doom topic:
I've not been listening to too much doom lately.
I'm back in the binge right now again though, starting of with some Katatonia and some Monolithe.
\m/

What is everyone else listening doomwise?

Give me your email and I'll sent it to you. :)

Hey, I figure you guys are intelligent enough to appreciate it :cool:

I have. Give me your email.

Masters of Reality \m/

I was first. :p

[pixiesfanyo]

Can you just send it to me over AIM?

Would that be easier?

[the2stranger]

I don't have AIM. :-\

pixiesfanyo @ gmail . com

[the2stranger]

sent. :)

[pixiesfanyo]

thx u much

[the2stranger]

No Problem.

I'm still enjoying this massive funeral doom song vy Monolithe.
I love this band.
I love the tranquil(sp?) sound very spacey and hypnotic at times, but heavy at the same time.

[Patrick O)))]

Tranquil like the Sinking Belle? Or just tranquily written doom?

[the2stranger]

Liek Sinking Belle, but more because of the very layered, synth driven riffs.
Monolithe is Funeral doom, so don't expect anything like that Boris track with clean female vox or anything.:lol:
Monolithe is great stuff though.
If I had to compare them I'dd say, Shape Of Despair comes pretty close, with hypnotic and synth layered ambiance, whilst not loosing power and the dark sound.

[Patrick O)))]

Haha, I very rarely do :P

I'll have to make a list of bands to check out, I can't really afford to atm because of the amount of orders I still have coming at work, but once those clear up a bit ... :cool:

Also, jazz bands worth checking out = Polar Bear (one of the best band names I've EVER heard. Right up there with Dr Teeth And The Electric Mayhem Band) and Acoustic Ladyland

[the2stranger]

Dammit, I hate fishing up this thread on the third page or so. :(

SO, I saw the New Solitude Aeturnus Cd today, it was a limited edition one, digipack, is it worth getting?

On funeral doom:
I've been listening a lot to Monolithe lately. I love them, my ahab binge still hasn't stoppe,d I don't think that Cd has left my CD palyer since I got it (2 months ago or so)
Also, I'm really sad for missing Pantheist last friday.
Stupid transport. :(
I'm making up for that by listening to them now.

np: Pantheist - Gluttony
All hail the organ sound!

Anyone like this band?

[pate]

I don't like the new SA. It's the only one of their albums that I wouldn't call "excellent"

[Detox]

The Sword, thats good stoner metal...Freya is kickass

[pate]

I don't find much worthwhile in The Sword.

[Jondur]

I'm listening to the the new Solitude Aeturnus now. I think it's going to be a grower - at the moment there are only two standout tracks but some of the melody lines from the other songs are starting to get under my skin so who knows? Maybe it'll be my favourite SA album in a couple of months.

The Sword are gayer than Elton John's favourite vase.

[Phototropic]

i just got Surrounded by Thieves in the mail

don't get me wrong i like it alot, just not in that frame of mind atm :( all i've been listening to is Isis recently, GAR

but Hung, Drawn and Quartered is great, what a riffup

[AlienEater]

Yeah it's definitely their worst. I just couldn't get into it.

[ATM]

You got surrounded by thieves in the mall? :eek:

[AlienEater]

mail

[magicbus]

So Cult of Luna's pretty fun to listen to. I also really like Isis' Mosquito Control EP. Much better than their newer stuff, which I wasn't diggin' so much.

[RetiredAt21]

Is Funeral Orchestra a doom metal band? I like them.

[Shattered_Future]

I picked up a 2 CD version of In The Rectory... by Reverend Bizarre. :cool:

[AA-12]

That album is awesome.

The Sword is awesome too.

[RetiredAt21]

Are they?

They're funeral doom.
Good stuff.

Funeral Doom is one of my favorite genres. \m/

Is there anything extra in the second album?

because I was pretty sure it only had one CD.

Anyways awesome album indeed.

Ah then good times. Those are highly enjoyable.

[Sleepy]

This needed a bump, because Doom and Stoner hardly deserves the third page.

So, I finally checked out the Ahab album that 2stranger uploaded for the DU, and they're basically awesome. Some of the best Funeral Doom I've heard in a long time, with the exception of Monolithe and maybe Devil Doll.

[pate]

I've gotten a ton of doom lately. What pissed me off was that the newest Grand Magus album I got doesn't work. And I ****ing love them too. :mad:

Ahab. \m/
Good to hear you like it.

I've never heard Devil Doll.

So anyone already d/l the Abdullah?
I did, gonna give it a listen soon. :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't checked out and Doom in a while actually.

[rippa32]

I just bought Cathedral's In The Garden Of Unearthly Delights today, im ****ing loving it. Particularly North Berwick Witch Trials. And the apple scented CD is really unique.

[Phototropic]

got the Isis DVD yesterday

watched most of it

frickin immense fair play, value for money for sure!

hope you're all good!

[AlienEater]

I have that but I haven't watched it yet.

:lol: Leave it to them to pull that off.

Hah, seriously. Once I get some cash from the impending doom of Christmas Day, I'm buying it. I'm really not a huge Cathedral fan (more inexperience than dislike), but how can I miss out on apple-scented Doom?

Good ****in album.


Anyone a YOB fan? Heaviest **** ive ever heard.I need some more stuff like this and not some mediocre stuff that everyones heard of.

Anyone got some suggestions?

[pate]

Yob is decent.

Recommendations:
Church of Misery
Wall of Sleep
Grand Magus

[Bartender]

Don't think I'd recommend Grand Magus as being in the same vein as Yob. Grand Magus have, you know, songs.

Yob are alright though. I picked up Sleep - Holy Mountain the other day too, but haven't had time to listen to it yet.
