We need a Stoner/Sludge/Doom thread here

[Lew]

I don't reckon being high adds or takes anything away from it. Nobody I know who smokes listens to this sort of thing though (more into electronic stuff, especially the more ambient/laid back stuff), if that helps answer the question at all!

Think that's a culture ting. I guess a yankee stoner is nothing like what we have.

I have never been stoned.... unless I inhaled more than I realised at those Hawkwind gigs in the late '70s)

It's never too late  :lol:

:lol:

Anyway, tonight I am listening to Royal Thunder - yet another band with a female frontperson!

Did you check out Jex Thoth?

Did you check out Jex Thoth?

I did, got the first album.  I've only listened once so far, I think it'll take a few more to get into it.  First impression was that I really like her voice, but not so sure there's anything particularly interesting about the rest of the band.... but maybe that'll change.

On the other hand I am really, really enjoying the Blood Ceremony albums, but to be fair I guess their music is much more "immediate".

I was also listening to a very, very bowel-looseningly doomy band called Windhand.  Not sure if I liked it or not....

Big fan of Grand Magus. They tend to bounce around genres (Stoner/Doomish/Metal), but it's all good (and generally about vikings/norse mythology/wolves):

I doubt that stoner bands smoke any more than some of the old school death metal bands like Autopsy.  Listen to Severed Survival and you *know* that was written with the assistance of weed, pizza, and cheesy old horror movies on VHS

I saw a bloke with hair like that the other day on my way to work.  He had a really big, square forehead too.

It actually crossed my mind to ask him if the Predator look was intentional, then I realised (a) he quite possibly wouldn't know what I was talking about; (b) he would probably beat me up.  :|

I had heard of them (through Amazon recommendations, of course).  From the reviews, I thought they might be a bit too lightweight, but I liked the sound of that clip - what little of it I managed to play before my computer started $%&#ing up, that is.  :?
