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

The key to stoner metal mayhem:

Low: 10
High: 0
Mid: 0

x 100000

: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.

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

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.

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.

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

[QUOTE=magicbus;13664142]I'm sending Om out for the Daily Upload[/QUOTE]
Sweet, I want to check them out.

[QUOTE]Esoteric[/QUOTE]

I didn't actually get it from the DU, but my friend sent me [I]Subconcious Dissolution[/I] and [I]Metamorphogenesis[/I]. 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.

Yeah they're cool

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. :(

NP: Ahab - The Pacific

2. Reclusiam
3. Comatose Vigil
4. Ahab
5. Fallen

Not different from yours, Petey.

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.

Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley.

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

[QUOTE=pate;13702252]Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley.[/QUOTE]

Seconded. Two classic stoner albums.

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

Get some Electric Wizard

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 :)

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.

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

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