elsanto Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 For the A list...Acid King and Ancient Warlocks definitely. ATW seems like it breaking out of this category for me...but we all are fans it seems. I need to check out Asteroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Once we decide we are done with a letter i can compile the reccommendations on the first page if that makes the most sense. I dont think we need to vote just divide it into essential and check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 this is the best goddamn thread on these boards. are there labels like STB and Riding Easy that pump out Thrash specifically??? i can google but too lazy. also anyone going to buy the Crown of Thornz from the STB Hardcore? I'd be curious about a "boutique" thrash label. I picture thrash dudes as less likely to shell out $30 for an album. Doom dudes seem more into the deluxe packaging, small run thing. I'm probably wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'll also vote Acid Witch as a 101, and Ancient Warlocks as a check-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we need to vote just divide it into essential and check this out. That would make the most sense I think. I already fooled around a bit and thought it would be cool to equip every entry with some basic info and direct links to listen to them. something like this: Abstracter. Wound Empire | Vendetta Records | Oakland, CA | 2015 || Doom, Sludge, Black Metal, Crust BC: https://abstracter.bandcamp.com/album/wound-empire Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/album/3Kf5WUNqIl0id84LYJVurF Acid Witch. Stoned | Hells Headbangers | Detroit, MI | 2011 || Psychedelic Doom, Death Metal BC: https://hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.com/album/stoned Spotify: https://play.spotify.com/album/31DbYsp8hL2iHGheQrJtxZ Amenra.

Eliminator Jr. Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 You've seem to have forgotten to include the bands I mentioned. Not forgotten, they are quoted on my list, but not yet embedded, because I wanted to start with those votes that mentioned band + album in order to be able to give better info and direct links to check them out.

Eliminator Jr. Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Why make the list without including everyone's suggestions? It's just a work-in-progress draft, I didn't mean to exclude any suggestions. It's meant as a proposal as to how we could go about this. If the consensus goes in the direction of collecting artists without album suggestions, that's totally cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Id be happy to compile the list with artist and album but i honestly dont have the time to make it all pretty with imbedded videos, band camp and spotify links. If we keep it simple im cool with it. I think we are over complicating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74R Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is why I hate how popular this type of music is nowadays. Non-pot smokers listening to stoner rock over complicating things. You used to be able to go to shows, do drugs and just lie on the ground in front of the stage. Too many people at shows to do that any more. Selfie sticks at EHG shows! Kill me.

Not sure if you were referring to anyone in particular from this thread, but i've been listening to heavy music since the mid-80's and stoner rock since the early 90's and I am far from what your post described.. I've been to hundreds of shows and I don't recall seeing to much of what you described especially people lying on the floor at a show. I've seen shows where there was 6 people in the crowd and when I left the show I felt like my ears were bleeding.I much rather see a show at a small venue or bar than one of those huge arenas, festivals or even a venue that holds over 500 people. Part of this bands from each letter is to bring awareness to bands that some of us have not heard of. Sure, we all know Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Baroness, Eyehategod and so forth, but honestly how many of the bands from letter A that I mentioned has anyone heard of? I like doing these kind of lists and i don't have any problem with how Eliminator is doing it. I'll make a point next time I list bands to add albums to make things easier for everyone.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Although I'm sure it was a joke, I have to say it was really weird going to see sleep, and being like "who wants to smoke this joint?"

stranaspank Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Random aside: anyone know of any stoner/doom band weed strains? You can find beers, sure, but if Dragonaut isn't some kind of indica I don't know what to do with the world. (All Sleep-related strains should be indicas. Deal with it.)
