i second Moss

could you guys rec me ambient/drone stuff which incorporates folk elements?

similar to these

Grouper - Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill
Zelienople
Aidan Baker - Scalpel / Green & Cold
maybe Natural Snow Buildings

reverb-drenched dreamy vocals would be nice

welll now

no vocals, but it's drone/americana ala earth's newer albums, but much more drone/ambient

literally just posted this link in the sludge thread even tho it has nothing to do with sludge but i don't know where a drone thread is

you might like the gentlemen losers too. ambient with alot of acoustic guitars, has a real dreamy and vinyl-like atmosphere to it.

and there's all kinds of psychedelic folk/drone shit to check out. silvester anfang and pocahaunted are 2 of my faves.

perunwit and the moon lay hidden beneath a cloud is really good dark ambient/neo folk if you want to go that way

I second Silvester Anfang and Gentlemen Losers.

Check out Psychedelic Horseshit, Xiu Xiu if you haven't already and Mark McGuire

can't believe i forgot mark mcguire

I got your back

you need to listen to that evan caminiti dude

If it sounds anything like Barn Owl I'm probably going to like it. Will give it a listen later tonight, thanks.

will check these all out soon, thanks a lot

only one i've heard is xiu xiu, and i only preferred their poppier songs off fabulous muscles

lol i read Silvester Anfang as 'silver fang' when i first saw it

[QUOTE=Morumbar;18481607]Can you guys recommend me something as dark and oppressing as Worship's [i]Dooom[/i]?[/QUOTE]

Mournful Congregation. Earlier stuff is probably more suited to what you're looking for, but [i]The Monad of Creation[/i] is their best work by far.

[QUOTE=Txus;18482364]Psychedelic Horseshit, Mark McGuire[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Txus;18482384]Barn Owl[/QUOTE]
yo which albums do i want by these guys

gentlemen losers self titled
silvester anfang II
pocahaunted has a very large number of releases that all generally sound about the same so you can pretty much just grab the first one you find
perunwit - perkunu yra dang I
the moon lay hidden beneath a cloud - a night in fear
mark mcguire - vacation days
and i've never actually listened to barn owl the evan caminiti guy i posted is a member though so all i can do is just tell you to get that album again lol

awesome, thanks

could anyone suggest some good Indie bands that aren't anything close to Godspeed and more along the lines of The National or The Antlers?

trespassers william

televise

bathtub shitter

[QUOTE=megalodon;18486730]could anyone suggest some good Indie bands that aren't anything close to Godspeed and more along the lines of The National or The Antlers?[/QUOTE]
Interpol - [I]Turn On The Bright Lights[/I]
Wild Beasts - [I]Two Dancers[/I]
The Magnetic Fields - [I]69 Love Songs[/I] / [I]Holiday[/I] (holiday would probably be easier to get into)

Trespassers William seconded

much appreciated. I'll be looking into all of these tomorrow.

can someone rec me some metal in the vein of machine head or fear factory?

Meshuggah is the only good one that comes to mind

[QUOTE=thumbcrusher;18487234]can someone rec me some metal in the vein of machine head or fear factory?[/QUOTE]

Ministry - "The Last Sucker" (album)

HEAVY as FUCK.

(yes, they're technically Industrial but Al had some Metal as fuck songs on the last three Ministry releases)

Spineshank
Static X
Godflesh
Ministry definitely

[QUOTE=Tyler;17056658]Kind of an open-ended request, but can anyone recommend me really dark sounding music, does not have to be metal-based. Looking for stuff with identifiable song structures, meaning traditional frameworks. Maybe something with folk, pop or electronic touches.[/QUOTE]
Tyler you may like the upcoming band [B]Lesser Key[/B]. They just did a record with Aaron Harris of ISIS. I listen to them on reverbnation.com/lesserkey

[QUOTE=Clunge;17058367]What about bands in the Porcupine Tree/Tool/Oceansize mould?

I think there needs to be a category for them, somewhere inbetween prog and psychedelica.[/QUOTE]
You might like the band[B] Lesser Key[/B]. Their drummer Justin Hanson, gets compared to Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey. Aaron Harris of the band ISIS just did their new record. Check em out... reverbnation.com/lesserkey

New Progressive Bands

I like the band Intronaut, they are more metal, but they are really progressive and Justin Chancellor from Tool played on their record. I like that Lesser Key band you mentioned, they are pretty sweet.
