This is turning out to be a great week for documentaries on the southern metal scene. Slow Southern Steel was finally released today after four years and its all on youtube.

Plot Outline Slow Southern Steel is a film about heavy music in the modern American South, as told by the very people who have created this music during the last two decades. Shot in back alleys, parking lots, and the seedy green rooms of the dirtiest clubs that the Bible Belt failed to snuff out, these diehard musicians discuss their love of music and the south, as well as the difficulties, contradictions, and insanity that haunt every southern artist. There are no illusions here, no apologies, no distractions - only the straight truth as told by those who would know the difference. Narrated by the notorious Dixie Dave Collins (Weedeater, Buzzov-en, Bongzilla), Slow Southern Steel is an authentic and honest and thorough look at one of the most remarkable music communities ever spawned on the continent.

LINK I remember when they filmed a piece at The Bar in Metarie four or five years ago. The director had some kind of legal issues holding up the release but its been shown at a few film festivals and he took it on tour once. Can't wait to finally watch it.

Just checked it out. Solid so far, but for me personally I was never super big into any of those bands. Hope them talk about Acid Bath more

Love the Melvins plug and how they changed the game for the sound comming out back then. "Slow can be heavy"

Will watch the entire doc. once avaliable.

Really digging Down. Never paid them much attetion until now, serioulsy my bad there.

Thats what Ive been listening too. Not sure whatever stopped me from jamming sooner.

Some catching up to do with 2014 releases:

Chick singer... kinda stony, very bluesy... worth a try if you want something different. May or may not fit YOUR bill of the mentioned genres
Blues Pills- Little Sun (BLUES ROCK)





Bong- Out of the Aeons

Wo Fat- The Conjuring

NOLA by Down is the GOAT.

It really is. It's in my car CD player right now, and it's just one of those albums that stands the test of time.

I also really loved II because it stretched out into some areas (jazz/country blues) that these guys just wouldn't have done with their other bands.

And I really liked III as well. Not as much as the other two, but it was really strong.

Now that Rex and Kirk are out, they've really gone to shite. They're doing this four EP bullshite because Phil wants to for some reason. And the first two EP's are boring as shite. Every song sounds the same, blah blah blah.

I hope Pepper's imminent return to Corrosion of Conformity will inspire him creatively.

That Wo Fat is just absloutely stunning

That Blue Pills is quite new to me. Anyone know more?

good call. digging harsh toke a lot.
