Get Stoned!
Here are 50 stoner rock/stoner metal albums you should give a try. Only greg, jethro and a few select others seem to listen to this excellent genre. |
1 | | Kyuss Welcome to Sky Valley
the fathers of stoner rock; an absolute classic |
2 | | Electric Wizard dOPETHrone
as heavy as the genre probably gets |
3 | | Queens of the Stone Age Songs for the Deaf
probably the most popular album, excellent nevertheless |
4 | | Down NOLA
manliest album out there probably, shits at pantera |
5 | | Clutch Blast Tyrant
if you don't like this, you suck |
6 | | Boris Akuma no Uta
the best of Boris' "stoner" albums; crushing and energetic |
7 | | Sleep Sleep's Holy Mountain
much, much, much better than Dopesmoker |
8 | | Monster Magnet Dopes to Infinity
the best album from these stoner giants; trippy as hell |
9 | | Trouble Manic Frustration
doom band turned to pure stoner metal on this one (probably slightly worse than Psalm 9 and self-titled) |
10 | | Colour Haze Los Sounds de Krauts
a definite must for stoner fans who like longer jams |
11 | | Eternal Elysium Spiritualized D
heavy (not) stoner rock from japan |
12 | | Cathedral The Ethereal Mirror
heavier than your average stoner album with a unique vocalist (they dont seem to give a shit nowadays, though) |
13 | | Spiritual Beggars Ad Astra
has that hard rock/(aor) vibe I usually despise but it works surprisingly well here |
14 | | Witchcraft Witchcraft
your favourite sabbath rip-offs; album is fucking fantastic |
15 | | Melvins Stoner Witch
I think they succeed much more when incorporating more sludge into their music, but "Stoner Witch" rocks hard |
16 | | Unida Coping With the Urban Coyote
John Garcia is like the Kanye West of stoner rock/metal (or not), he's fucking everywhere --> Unida might be the best post-Kyuss material from him |
17 | | Spirit Caravan Jug Fulla Sun
Scott Weinrich (Wino) is nearly just as good; "Jug Fulla Sun" is a mesmerizing album |
18 | | Ufomammut Snailking
really heavy and trippy stoner/doom (like everything these guys have put out) |
19 | | Brant Bjork Jalamanta
the relaxing kind of stoner rock; you'll feel high by just listening to this |
20 | | Om Conference of the Birds
they don't always hit but there is so much brilliance in here |
21 | | Karma to Burn Almost Heathen
the sonic equivalent of "fuck yeah" |
22 | | High on Fire Blessed Black Wings
more straightforward stoner/sludge but heavy |
23 | | Acrimony Tumuli Shroomaroom
the album name might tell you what to expect |
24 | | Graveyard Graveyard
their sophomore effort is just as good, but I'd prefer this; psychedelic stoner rock |
25 | | Fu Manchu Eatin' Dust
reminds me of skateboarding and shit |
26 | | Kylesa Static Tensions
got really popular when it hit in 2009 and the "fame" it got is justified; the drummer kicks asses |
27 | | Dozer Through the Eyes of Heathens
RIFFS |
28 | | Solace 13
the album everyone just has to fucking check out; this rocks so much it's unbelievable |
29 | | The Hidden Hand Mother * Teacher * Destroyer
heavy and psychedelic stoner/doom metal |
30 | | Lowrider Ode to Io
really similar to Kyuss but these guys rock just as much |
31 | | 35007 Liquid
like floating in space, seriously |
32 | | Corrosion of Conformity Deliverance
harsh, southern-y stoner rock (reminds me of Sabbath and ZZ Top) |
33 | | Orange Goblin The Big Black
stoner rock/metal with a really spacey atmosphere |
34 | | Earthless Rhythms From a Cosmic Sky
long-ass psych solos and head-nodding |
35 | | Causa Sui Summer Sessions Vol. 1
actually get all three volumes |
36 | | YOB The Illusion of Motion
probably a tad too long, but this is some heavy shit right here |
37 | | Goatsnake Flower of Disease
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM (+stoner) |
38 | | Truckfighters Gravity X
very fuzzy guitars, good production, pretty harmonies, and vocals that don't try to sound stoner |
39 | | Witch Witch
you can be sure that every band containing the word "Witch" is somehow related to stoner rock/metal; this is one of the better ones |
40 | | Monkey3 39 Laps
space rock/stoner rock at its finest |
41 | | Suma Let the Churches Burn
no dont do that but listen to this, it's some great sludge/stoner metal |
42 | | The Heads Relaxing With...
you WILL be pretty relaxed when listening to this |
43 | | The Atomic Bitchwax The Atomic Bitchwax
the most psychedelic, trippy kind of stoner; definitely worth a listen (or two) |
44 | | Nebula To the Center
feel good |
45 | | The Sword Warp Riders
a striking heavy metal influence, but definitely a standout of 2010 |
46 | | Ancestors Neptune With Fire
debut full-length studio album by American (Los Angeles, California) doom/ stoner metal act |
47 | | Slo Burn Amusing the Amazing
EP and the only thing this band has released; Garcia is at his best here, vocally |
48 | | Bongripper Hippie Killer |
49 | | Dead Meadow Dead Meadow |
50 | | Place of Skulls With Vision |
