Twistedshabazz Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I tried searching for a thread for this and could not find one. What have you all been listening to? What are some cant miss bands that we should all know about? What new releases or lesser known stuff should we know about? Been listening to the newest Windhand record which I have been digging. Neon Warships S/T record has been pretty killer. Kadavar's new record has awesome jams on it, though not strictly stoner or doom per se. Locally in Pittsburgh there has been a band that has been buzzing a lot and putting out some great stuff. You can check out their demo on band camp for free. http://lostrealms.bandcamp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyShackelford Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 My buddy plays drums in an Austin based stoner/skate doom band called Ditch Witch. They're fucking sick!! Here's a quick clip. They've got their own skate decks too. You can see them if you've got a keen eye and watch that video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justin Maheiny Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't think Torche is a stoner or doom band. Maybe they have a riff or two here and there that are but Floor prior to their self-titled album was pretty sludgy. If you want pretty heavy doom/sludge, current bands Monarch(who has an insane female vocalist), The Body, & Weedeater are all pretty good. My personal favorite records from past bands that are in this category would be Boris - Amplifier Worship, Iron Monkey's Our Problem, EyeHateGod's Take As Needed For Pain & Burning Witch's Crippled Lucifer. Sleep's Jerusalem is an amazing album, but I don't think it's one you should just jump right into unless you can get super stoned first and have decent headphones. But "stoner" and "doom" have such a wide meaning. Doom, in the traditional sense, is almost glam sounding bands like Trouble & Solstice, while stoner music is more like Kyuss & Fu Manchu. I like bands of all types in these categories I just prefer the pissed off sludgy sounding shit. There's basically a shit ton of bands you can listen to that fall into these categories.

It is a pretty catch all category that can bring alot of possibilities. figure most people might find some stuff, including myself, they dig by not narrowing the options to discuss.

Guest Justin Maheiny Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 If you like the more rockin/groove stoner shit here's some other bands I used to listen too. Sheavy(dude sounds pretty close to Ozzy), Los Natas(Spanish but pretty rockin), Acrimony, Spiritual Beggars, Nebula & one of my favorites of all time MONSTER MAGNETS SPINE OF GOD. Thanks for making me think of these lol (edit) I just listened to Kadavar for the 1st time. You definitely might like some of the bands in this post.

amnstypls Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Torche is an American band from Miami, Florida, whose sound is often described as stoner metal, or sludge metal. Granted, that's from Wikipedia, but I'm not the only one who considers them to be a stoner metal band. My introduction to them was the "In Return" EP, which is loaded with those signature "dun dun dunnnnnnn" riffs. If you listen to "Meanderthal" or "Harmonicraft," those albums are certainly much more pop oriented, but by the time I got around to exploring those records, they were already firmly planted in my mind as a stoner metal band.

paranoidantroyd Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Lately- Bongripper, Bongzilla, and Weedeater Weedeater is from my hometown. Plenty of good southern sludge that came out of the Port City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I really got into doom/stoner metal in the past year. Windhand is fucking slaying it right now. I caught their record release show here in Richmond last week and it was fantastic. Check it out if you like the riffs of Weedeater and Bongzilla, but more ethereal vocals. PS: someone sell me those Weedeater LPs. And a pink Gateway. Also, if you dig Graveyard and Kadavar, or the first four Sabbath albums (which should be everyone), get caught up on Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats.

fuckoffleatherjacket Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't care too much for the vocals of Windhand(or an really clean vocals with my doom) but they did a split with Cough who are awesome and have really great vocals dbarksdale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Anything by Greenleaf or Bad Wizard fucking slays, not sure if you'd count Clutch, but I pretty much love everything they've ever done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
