Stoner/ Doom Metal Discussion Thread

MAKE

Discovered these guys via a friend who heard them on NPR. Hits a nice sweet spot between doom and post-metal (with a bit of BM/sludge in the mix). This is like "goosebumps on first listen" type stuff. Really digging it and probably going to PO.

I bought their album Axis a few years ago and really liked it. Now I'm going to have to add this new album to my "Stuff to Buy" list.

Dopethrone Hochelaga vinyl update from Totem Cat Records on FB:

 

Hochelaga vinyl repress will be available in two weeks or so, stay tuned.

 

Need that record.

 

 

This was posted in the black metal thread but warrants a post here as well.

Everyone should snag this abstracter and they have a few other of the labels releases on sale for uber cheap.

I find myself listening to Abstracter a lot these days. Someone here recommended them as an Oakland band I should check out. Who was that?

Saw Elder yesterday and the show was really cool also because the venue is pretty small and there were not more than 40 people in there.

The guys of Elder played it hard and here's what I came back home with:

 

Lore 2xLP | Clear 180g. | Tour exclusive

Is more like a cloudy clear wax, there are just a few white smoke traces inside and it's very nice toward a light.

Elder & Mos Generator screenprinted EU tour poster limited to 30 pieces and a nice patch.

Dang. I've been postponing Lore in hopes of them putting it on coloured LP eventually. That clear looks so good indeed. Unfortunately tour exclusives are awesome but for those who can't manage to catch a tour.

 

Also still can't decide whether I need that Conan live. Can't predict whether they'd be repressing that thing. Eventually, probably?

Lexicon - you ever see or hear a band called Abstracter? They are from your neck of the woods and their new album Wound Empire is fucking awesome. Been playing the hell out of that album the last few weeks.

 

 

Need that record.

For those interested in the clear Lore I have an heads up:

I mailed Stickman records and asked how many copies of that were made since I can't find any detail about that and this is their answer:
"The clear vinyl is exclusive for the tour, but we will also offer them out through our webshop in a few days.
Limited to 500.
Regards,
Rolf"

So I think you can order that soon here http://www.stickman-records.com/

and you can find the screenprinted Euro tour poster /30 here http://visualkraut.bigcartel.com/

Thanks indeed. Hope it is as straight-forward as they told you it would be.

 

This is off their site -
 

 

and we will sell the Elder clear vinyl version - if there's any left - through the mailorder at the end of the tour.

 

granted that update carries the date of June 20th so we might just be in the clear now. :rolleyes:

Was waiting for this...Conan's new live album on green vinyl through Napalm as well. /200

 

http://shop.napalmrecords.com/conan-live-at-bannermans-green-vinyl.html

 

Also, randomly discovered this band Lord By Fire that features members of Inter Arma and have both of their LPs for free on bandcamp. They used to be named Sword but changed it due to their Texan stoner brothers gaining more recognition. After hearing two tracks off 'High Country', I think they might actually be more deserving of the name, though. Kind of reminds me of The Roller a bit.

Kinda lame that Conan would purposely put out false information like this:

CONAN – LIVE AT BANNERMANS – 12″ VINYL PRE ORDER (USA / CANADA ONLY)

LIMITED RUN of 100 copies of this live set from the historic Bannerman’s venue in Cowgate Edinburgh.

Mixed and mastered by Stu at Wall of Sound.

Order here if you live in the US or Canada.

This recording was taken from Conan’s short run of shows with Slomatics in August 2012.

Running order –

Satsumo
Hawk As Weapon
Battle In The Swamp
Headless Hunter
Sea Lord
Retaliator

Black heavyweight vinyl.

Pre order starts now, shipping commences end of October.

- See more at: http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2015/07/20/conan-live-at-bannermans-lp-release/#sthash.vpCBbWIu.dpuf

 

I figured it was really 200, but now they come out with another color. Black is fine. I just don't like being duped.

Definitely. Had I the funds I would've pulled the trigger right there and then and been stuck with a black copy, silly coloured completionist that I am.

 

Just saw this this conversation on FB

 

 

"This says, "Limited to 100". but that is obviously not true. What are the real pressing numbers?"
Conan - "The U.S. pressing is 100. No more."

 

which makes me assume that for some reason they're really trying to separate the US and EU shops. In their US shop they've noted specifically that all merch is available for delivery to USA and Canada.
