[QUOTE][B]Finally, any chance you will tour the States? And also, I noticed being on Lee Dorrian's label (from Cathedral fame) your first album artwork looked strikingly similar to a few of Cathedral's and the Lake Of Tears album "Crimson Cosmos." Is it that this artist only does album covers for those doing doom metal or trippy psychedelic music?[/B]

We are going to tour the U.S. very soon, it's our total dream! It will probably be with Goatsnake as we did an awesome British tour with them and we really got along well. It was a great show for the fans because we're both total doom live but in a different way. Also, we heard American chicks are suckers for English accents! We used the same artist as Cathedral on the first album but we were sick when we saw it because it's totally weak hippy crap, we asked for a huge dragon dripping blood with naked chicks and stuff like the cover of "Savage Sword Of Conan" or something, not that stuff. I mean she hasn't even got her tits out and there's a queer dolphin on it! (Luckily this is cut off on the re-release). Since then we've used our own stuff! Check out the new "Supercoven" CD on Southern Lord Records out now with new tracks and cover art for the U.S. only. It is SOOOO heavy! If you're into Death, Black, Doom, Stoner, Punk, whatever we guarantee you will get on your knees and pray to the Wizard![/QUOTE]

Hope you enjoy it

Sorry for the double post, I wanted to fit it all in, please don't ban me

The Wizard's magic needs to reach more places, I CAN'T FIND THEIR DARN CD'S.

I tell ya... I've never taken any drugs of any kind, I am but a young lad, and the song Supercoven just puts me on a trip everytime I hear it. It's amazing.

And I missed out on seeing them because I have nowhere to stay in Melbourne. GRRR.

ALL HAIL THE WIZARD.

NP: Wizard in Black - Electric Wizard

EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention, thanks for the interview Phototropic. Everytime I read an interview or listen to a song by the Wizard it's like... "why do I have to be morally objected to weed. Stupid morals." Legends.

[QUOTE=Poofy 666]what Sunn 0))) cd should i buy?[/QUOTE]
White 2 or Flight of the Behemoth.

[QUOTE=RiceMonster]White 2 or Flight of the Behemoth.[/QUOTE]
White 2 is my favorite.

[QUOTE=Freezing Moon]White 2 is my favorite.[/QUOTE]
Me too. Hell-O)))-Ween is my favorite song from them. I LOVE Atilla's vocals is Decay 2 as well.

[QUOTE=Jondur]Stoner rock is happy, clappy, groovy music. It often has a "southern" feel to it. Check out Kyuss fora text book example.[/QUOTE]


Hahh what part of the song Son of a Bitch is happy or clappy?

Kyuss is as angry as bands came


-- ad YOB's new album to the doom list

[QUOTE=Poofy 666]what Sunn 0))) cd should i buy?[/QUOTE]

I like flight of the behemoth. Famous noise-dude merzbow makes some neat contributions to it with a pleasantly varied sound.

Do you guys prefer your doom with clean vocals or harsh? Generally, I'm a fan of clean, but there's something very imposing about slow, sludging riffs mixed with bear-ish, isis-like vocals.

His point is that doom isn't supposed to be happy, the opposite in fact, and therefore as a doomster stoner rock does nothing fo him. Kyuss isn't all that angry, not when compared to early Cathedral and the like.

i like both, but i tend to like clean more. the rough vocals grate on me after a time, and i have to turn them off.

I like almost vocal-less sometimes like Sunn but the occasional chanting is intresting.

Speaking of Kyuss, whatever happened to that Josh Homme mailing list Phototropic?

I dunno where exactly Paradise Lost falls into the whole thing...their first 4 or 5 albums were pretty doomish, eh? (well, first 3 were death-doom, but I'm mostly referring to Icon and Draconian Times). I actually just got my hard copy of Draconian Times in the mail...amazing album.

All depends on the music, but generally it makes no difference for me. Bongzilla sound so awesome with the black metal vocals, and then you get Electric Wizard with the clean vocals with that weird effect over them. The overall effect is the same, really.

Then you have My Dying Bride, who switch between growling and clean whining. Both are as effective as the other.

So yeah, depends on the music for me.

I'll get right on it

If I can find the thread

I think its out of print so I hope its ok to post it here

What do you open .rar files with?

Winrar

Where could i download that?

Type it on google, should be somewhere

Ok guys, I downloaded Kyuss's Blues for the Red Sun. While I'm really digging the heavy guitar (like on Writhe), the vocals aren't my kind of thing. I suppose I could get used to them, but until then can somebody recommend some more stuff with that heavy distorted, sluggish guitar?

[QUOTE=WhoresOfTijuana]Hahh what part of the song Son of a Bitch is happy or clappy?

[/QUOTE]

You see, what you're missing there is the value of a full stop. They separate sentences so different points can be made. Reread the quote - stoner is too happy clappy (read groovey). FULL STOP. It often has a 'southern feel', see Kyuss as a text book example. Anyway Stoner doesn't have the feel of despair etc that doom has. It has a happy feel - I don't care whether the lyrics are happy or not - the music is.

Re clean vs growled. Well Growls have no place in doom. Compare the majesty of Rob Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus to Aaron Stainthorpes whining.

[QUOTE=Dark_Hero]Bongzilla
Autopsy

old Obituary[/QUOTE]

Eh? For the last time - slow does not equal doom. Obituary and Autopsy are death metal bands. In the case of Autopsy, the best death metal band ever.
