I wanted to buy Holy Mountain on vinyl :-x

The bass tone live was ridiculous. My ears were ringing so bad for 3 days.

I think I would poo my pants with Om's live bass sound.

The best part was the drunk metalhead who was trying to head bang but kept wobbling and almost falling over.

I'm just now getting into this type of music.

A friend lent me the following;

[B]Electric Wizard[/B] - Dopethrone
[B]Godspeed You! Black Emperor[/B] - Can’t remember which album.
[B]Kyuss[/B] - Welcome to Sky Valley
[B]Sleep[/B] - Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker

I already listened to [B]Neurosis[/B] and [B]ISIS[/B] although the latter I’m not really sure falls into the category even though it’s great to get stoned to. :thumb:

Nice list, you're off to a great start except that Godspeed You Black Emperor doesn't really fit with this.

Dopethrone is also a good start.

My friend Ben ruined Kyuss for me completely.

How?

How so? Please tell.

EDIT: ****!!

He just played non-stop Kyuss for 8 hours every day at work.

It got a little better when I showed him Pandora, but of course the first thing he did was make a Kyuss radio station.

[B]The Godspeed You![/B] was just in with the mix, which is why I assumed it might fit into the genre. Is it what would be more classified as the post-rock, or post-metal (I'm not that up to date on genre names)?

Oh! I almost forgot [B]Monster Magnet[/B] in that list, he let me borrow Monolithic Baby! too. Which I've not listened to as much as the others, I'm feeling [B]Sleep[/B] and [B]Electric Wizard[/B] more.

What are some other bands you guys suggest I should check out?

Om
Nadja
Back When
Men In Search of the Perfect Weapon
Fistula
Neurosis
Isis
Cathedral
Pagan Altar
Boris

No.

ROFL ATM for a split second I could swear I saw Finntroll in that list. :lol:

I'm one of the few on MX who likes Finntroll :P

:hi5:

I'm ashamed but yes...

I'm not ashamed, they are fun to listen to once in awhile.

I'm going to have to say that [B]Sleep[/B]’s [I]Holy Mountain[/I] was much more preferable than [I]Dopesmoker[/I]. The hour and few odd minutes song started droning on, with no breaks for the performers or listeners. I'd have to say though, it'd be pretty awesome to see and hear live.

Check out the bands I posted for you on the last page

:)

I will. I'll either call up my friend in the morning and see if he has any of them, and if not I'll try and track them down on the internet but sometimes that seems a little too hit or miss to get good copies.

about to get my first listen of Electric Wizard. What should I expect?

I've only heard their one album, [I]Dopethrone[/I] and I found it's great music to zone out to and just nod your head with it. The lyrics are muddled and distorted, but it's not a bad thing it actually creates the atmosphere along with the sludgy simplistic riffs on guitar. It's really quite good, actually.

Have you guys heard Beehoover?

I never got into Electric Wizard. I heard Dopethrone a few years ago and thought it was boring. Perhaps I should give it another go, as at the time the only Doom I really liked was Candlemass and everyone seems to love that album.

NP: The Epitome Of Gods and Men Alike

I've heard and I like :)

[QUOTE=Txus;15621685]I've heard and I like :)[/QUOTE]

Really cool stuff, I guess 2 of the members are from some German doom band called Voodooshock so they definitely incorporate that into their music.

Any fans of Dead Meadow?

I don't know how many albums they have but the one I own is ****ing great, they remind me of Toner Low at times.

I'm listening to Howls From the Hills.

I actually saw their guitar player open for Boris which was awesome.

toner low, aye. shame they dont release too many full length stuff.
