I like Fu Manchu, but the songs all seem to blend together. Except Evil Eye of course because it was drilled into my ears all through childhood.

Yeah, that's why I can only listen to them in phases. They don't quite have the variation of some other stoner bands who will go into jam phases, but they rock a whole lot harder than most. It's all about King of the Road!

The only one I ever cared for was California Crossing, but then again, I've only heard a few.

[QUOTE=Kyle]I don't really mind the vocals at all, I mean it's not really singing, but the laid back style kinda suits the music. I'll upload some Fu Manchu in one of the mailing lists if you're in any?[/QUOTE]

Im in the Alt/indie one. I got deleted from the rock/metal one :-/

[QUOTE=Uberman]I have become interested in doom via Reverend Bizarre, as I love every single one of their songs, so can people recommend bands similar to them?[/QUOTE]

St Vitus
Warning
Orodruin
Pentagram

You guys [B]need[/B] to check out this band for me and tell me what you think, I absoloutely love them, favourite band no contest

They are local and they have an album which is absoloute stoner genius (Flows like no other) so if you guys like the stuff I'll upload it for you

Apparantly Swansea has a tight music scene, that band The Screamin' Eagles and The Buffalo Kings are pretty sweet too. I'll probably be at uni there next year (assuming I don't get into Cardiff), so all this music is making be pretty happy.

Anyways good stuff, would be cool if you could upload it.

Sorry to bring yet more stoner into a thread that's lacking enough in doom as it is, but is anyone here familiar with Mannhai? I read a good review for their debut album when it was released back in 2001, so I downloaded a couple of tracks, loved them, couldn't find the album anywhere and eventually lost interest. Finally bought it (Amazon marketplace) about twenty minutes ago. Dug up the songs too, and they're about as good as I remember.

Esoteric's Epistemological Despondency is one damn trippy album. I love it! It has that lo-fi sludge of Stormcrowfleet and all of these bad acid trip samples...aaaah glorious.

I suppose this question could start some discussion in here; when you listen to really trippy bands, or just stoner bands, do you feel like doing drugs (if you're not already)? I used to be really against drugs, even saying that if I saw one of my friends with illegal drugs I'd report them, but after I got Dopethrone and got into all of the sludge, stoner and funeral doom I have suddenly developed this craving for everything brain-melting and am now very "legalise it!" So yeah, has this music had the same effect on anyone else?

I feel like I should be saying no, and calling you stupid, but Stoner Rock has always had a similar effect on me. I don't know why exactly, but the experience of listening to it just seems to be amplified by drugs. I don't really like getting mixed up in all that on a regular basis though, I get just as big a thrill out of driving to it.

That's some good ****, I'd like an upload

Thats the only one I have, and I love it.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]Awesome album definitly their best.[/QUOTE]Really got into that this week, cheers for the upload.

I like Let Us Prey better. Dopethrone just has too many parts that have inaudible guitar, like most of the title track and I, Witchfinder.

Yeah [I]Let Us Prey [/I]is my favorite too, but I've always liked more upbeat stuff.

Thanks for this.
But if I were you I'd remove it from your psot and just assk the people to give their email adresses.
You aren't allowed to post copyrighted stuff ( assume this is)

You're a champ for uploading this though!

I doubt it's RIAA covered.

How's the production?

Great stuff, they did it at Sonic One which is probably the best studio in South Wales

[QUOTE=Kyle]Yeah [I]Let Us Prey [/I]is my favorite too, but I've always liked more upbeat stuff.[/QUOTE]

That didn't make sense to me, are you saying Let Us Prey or Dopethrone is more up-beat? Or neither?

One thing I love about Let Us Prey is how the drums sound. I know their drummer is probably the worst ever but he does some cool stuff on that album and yeah, they're produced well.

I got the Reverend Bizarre/Orodruin split today. Great stuff.

I guess I feel like I should like[I] Dopethrone [/I]more, because it's the one everyone raves about, and that must be why I said 'but'.

[QUOTE=Wotan]I just bought Electric Wizard - Dopethrone \m/[/QUOTE]

My third favourite album ever. :thumb:

It's fantastic.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I got the Reverend Bizarre/Orodruin split today. Great stuff.[/QUOTE]

That's a great slab of metallic vinyl! I particularly love the Orodruin side.

I did, I'm gonna listen tomorrow, after my final exam.
