Apparently Wino was a few people behind me at the Mastadon show, I had no idea :-/

Isole has my favorite vocals in the genre.

:o Shame you didn't notice.

I love going to small shows, cause you almost always have the chance to talk to the artists afterwards.

yeah i much prefer smaller shows to big ones

plus most of the swansea bands are amazing so I'd choose them over a lot of bands from elsewhere anyway so i don't often feel the need to go to a bigger show

Brant Bjork always seems to have intimate shows, went to see one in Cardiff and it rocked, hes so chatty and cool

What's a good Novembers Doom album to start on? I have To [I]Welcome The Fade[/I] and I'm not really liking it, maybe there's something better?

The reason I'm trying to get into them is because my guitar teacher was going to start a band with the Rhythm guitarist for Novembers Doom, but they broke up upon meeting each other. Just thought I'd check out the band, though.

Go eat a cupcake fatty.

Finally checked Boris out. I got [I]Pink[/I]. Which one should I get next?

Depends which bits of what they do you like. [i]Akuma No Uta[/i] is like a condensed [i]Pink[/i] (or at least, on hearing [i]Pink[/i], it struck me as an expanded [i]Akuma No Uta[/i]; I assume it works both ways), only much better. [i]Feedbacker[/i] is my other favourite, and it's basically one 45 minute song, drenched in feedback.

I prefer The Pale Haunt Departure and The Novella Reservoir (the new one). You're going to Powerfest, right?

Yeah, I am. That's the other reason I wanted to get into them.

They're an excellent band and cool guys. :thumb:

If you want more traditional-esque doom (it's not trad doom at all...it's just more doom-like), Amid It's Hallowed Mirth or Old Sculpted Ivy And Stone Flowers are pretty cool. Personally, I think their new one is the best I've heard so far though.

king crimson! check these videos out..

King Crimson really aren't stoner or doom, so far as I know. Those look like good videos, though.

king crimson, the new DOOM METAL GAWD

They're closer than Sunn O))

Listening to Swallow the Sun for the first time, I like it quite a bit.

One of my favorite bands ever now. I love the atmosphere they create.

Anyone like March Into The Sea?

Wow, awesome vocals.

I like the vocals, too.

Just posted an Evoken review: [url]http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review_11189[/url]

If anyone hasn't heard of Evoken, get them now. Awesome band.

All the Evoken I have is Quietus. How does that compare with Antithesis?

Both are great. But I've listened to Antithesis alot more.

Jeez, post about a band that isn't Ahab and look what happens to this thread! :p

Check them out if you don't listen to them already.

Bongzilla and Bongripper are two of my favorite stoner metal bands. Bongripper is more stoner instrumental though.

March Into The Sea is one of my favorites.

[QUOTE=Elliptical Ion;14301107]Bongzilla and Bongripper are two of my favorite stoner metal bands. Bongripper is more stoner instrumental though.[/QUOTE]

Bongzilla is excellent.

I've never listened to Bongzilla. Do they sound similar to any other band?

Their bassplayer is in Weedeater where he does vocals but I never checked out Bongzilla (which I should because of the cool name alone).

Bongzilla are a mixed bag

great grooves and riffs, useless vocals

I really enjoy Bongzilla as well as the vocals.
They fit the atmospthere really well, somehow.

I should get more Bongzilla.

np: Lair Of The Minotaur - Behead The Gorgon

I guess the closest comparison would be to Electric Wizard, but even more fuzzed out.

I must say as much as I love EW, I like the production on Bongzilla better.
Cause the fuzzed-ness on EW can sometimes get in the way of the actual music.

Still both bands are as cool as the bees knees. :cool:

[QUOTE=pate;14306320]I guess the closest comparison would be to Electric Wizard, but even more fuzzed out.[/QUOTE]

I love Electric Wizard, so I guess I'll check these guys out.

The blues influence is more appearant with Bongzilla, so that's pretty cool. :cool:

The only two albums I have from them are Amerijuancan and Gateway. I'd love to get hold of Stash, Apogee and their '98 EP.
