[QUOTE=ICB]"Black Dwarf", eh? Looks like I'm shellin' out the 18 bucks for the new Candlemass.[/QUOTE]

it's worth it, i got sent it a couple months back to review, and i love it, it ain't as good as some of their stuff, but certainly has enough for the fan..

I can never get enough of Kyuss, Clutch, High On Fire or The Obsessed.
All fantastic bands with such love for music

The only band described here (including Kyuss) that I've heard is Melvins. I had Pigs of the Roman Empire, and I've downloaded about a gazillion songs. Truly genius, I don't know about any of you guys but I've never heard anyone drum with so much force as Dale Crover, the guy is a madman.

So I have no idea what Doom is (yousendit don't work for me), except that Fantomas are described by AllMusic.com as Doom Metal. I also tend to like gothic music (gothic like The Cure, not gothic like Cradle of Filth), so I may have to try some of this stuff out.

i can't believe i forgot to mention the Melvins!!
'houdini' is a work of genius all the way through.

Paul as in ex-Tangaroa?

Just back from Doom Shall Rise. Am far too tired to type any more. Full details and possibly audio in a few days!

Sorry I haven't posted here in a while.

So has anyone gotten the new Corrosion of Conformity CD, yet? It's called [I]In The Arms of God[/I]. The lead single, "Stone Breaker" is alright, just not classic COC. I could care less for the drums, as well.

Jondur, does your band have a CD or any of that out?

Yep. the new one is called "Different Ways To Be Haunted" - 3 tracks of doomy goodness. Check out the track on [url]www.soundclick.com/theriver[/url] If you like send me an email on [email]jonathon_gibbs@hotmail.com[/email] and I can give you ordering details.

I still have to send you a cheque for a copy of that. Sorry :-/

Bitchin'. So it's just an EP? Yeah, I'll e-mail you when I move into my house this week, alright?

[QUOTE=Bartender]I still have to send you a cheque for a copy of that. Sorry :-/[/QUOTE]

I will email you my new address - don't send anything to that address as I move at the end of the week.

Can someone upload the first song off the Etheral Mirror by Cathedral?
:D
(By the way, fecking love doom metal :thumb: )

Has anyone heard the new Om CD yet ( Variations on a Theme ) ? I'm pretty excited for it, but I haven't been able to get it yet. I've heard a few samples from it, and it sounds really Dopesmoker/Jerusalem'ish , but sans-guitar with cooler vocals.

A couple of pics from Doom Shall Rise (there's bound to be loads more when other people get stuff developed):

hey mate
it is indeed, how's it going, thought i recognised the name in the thread..
:wave:

drop us an email in at [email]paulrawnerve@ntlworld.com[/email] if you want a bit of promotion for your band.. :-)

...

wow, listening to 'a close study' now by your band, Jondur, sounds mint, really really top stuff, am liking it a lot in fact. great hybrid of nice and heavy, The Gathering meets My Dying Bride!

gonna tell people on our forum..

/saves thread


I really have nothing to contribute...I've heard the new High on Fire, sounded like Classic HoF. I'm still listening to the new Corrosion of Conformity CD. I just don't like the drums on that CD for some reason...

anyone else heard pelican's australasia? I suppose its stoner/doom, instrumental. I highly recommend it, if you havent already heard it

it's fantastic.. the second song on there, 'drought', is a masterpiece!

[QUOTE=PaulRawNerve]it's fantastic.. the second song on there, 'drought', is a masterpiece![/QUOTE]

Yeah, i agree, i reckon thats their best song as well

my fave stoner rock has got to be QOTSA

[QUOTE=josh959]my fave stoner rock has got to be QOTSA[/QUOTE]

Their new stuff was highly dissappointing, man. I loved listening to songs like "Tension Head", and for a while it made me proud that a local band was getting so much attention, but [I]Lullabies to Paralyze [/I] was just too...boring for me. I couldn't get into it.

The 1st album was by far their best and rated r and songs for the deaf weren't bad. What i have heard of their stuff is pretty piss poor.

I like Doom Metal, although I havent actually heard that much of it apart from My Dying Bride.

well im no expert but its a genre i enjy and if anyone could reccomend me some bands which might lead on from the likes of neurosis (sovereign era), my dying bride etc....

if you like neurosis have a listen to pelican or cult of luna, they both sound vaguley similar to eye of the storm by neurosis.

I also recommend doomsword, orodruin and reverend bizzare

I was to lazy to read every page in this thread but is there any one that's in to Blind dog, EYEHATEGOD, grand magus, Down, or crowbar. I consider these guys the real stoner/Doom metal bands, if there's one or more you have never heard of check em' out they kick alot of A S S.

[QUOTE=thundercross] I consider these guys the real Doom metal bands[/QUOTE]

Then you're wrong.

Neurosis aren't Doom are they?

Very good though.

Bought a Corrosion of Conformity CD the other, so good.

I think I'm gonna go on a bigger stoner rock buying spree.

Which CoC album did you get?

I suggest you read the first few pages of the thread.

EYEHATEGOD, Down and Crowbar, as much as I like them, aren't doom. They're more of a harder southern rock genre. I describe them as Southern rock with a heavy metal sound. Corrosion of Conformity could fall into the same catergory; they fuse punk, metal, and southern rock into their music. What COC CD did you get, 3rdPlanet?



[QUOTE=joe fresh]The 1st album was by far their best and rated r and songs for the deaf weren't bad. What i have heard of their stuff is pretty piss poor.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I agree. I keep hearing people call this QOTSA's "second album" and it pisses me off. Most people who are into QOTSA nowadays probably haven't even HEARD [I]rated R[/I].

Rated R is the only album of theirs I actually own. I never got into it that much, but it's alright.

I'll tell you one thing, it's way better compared to [I]Lullabies[/I].

Well I've not heard [i]Lullabies..[/i], so I couldn't say. I've heard the first one, and [i]Songs for the Deaf[/i] thanks to friends and sister, though. Maybe just because I own it myself, but I preferred [i]Rated R[/i].

I actually live in the city Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri were from. I point that out all the time, but hey...if somebody else lived in some famous band's hometown, I'm sure they'd point it out as well.

I still can't get over how much the drums suck on COC's "Stone Breaker".

i never heard of most of the bands mentioned lol

Here's a vintage JDZ song. 18 months ago I really sucked at guitar :(

(The Exodus)

Doom enough?

Jondur: I listened to A Close Study, its very good. How much is your 3 track EP?

Also, can you reccommend some similar sounding Doom bands?

I really enjoyed the track by Gates of Slumber that you posted, and I downloaded a couple of Candlemass songs (Epicus Doomicus Metallicus and The Bells of Acheron), didn't really take too much to them (yes blashphemy, I know), probably because of the vocal style.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Which CoC album did you get?[/QUOTE]

I bought Wiseblood, saw it going cheap so thought what the heck after having a few tracks downloaded may as well.

Check out [I]Deliverence [/I] and [I]America's Volume Dealer[/I]. Good stuff by COC.

I like AVD :)

[QUOTE=Jon]I like AVD :)[/QUOTE]

That's probably my favorite by them.
