A thread to discuss the Stoner Metal/Sludge/Doom/Post-metal/Blues Rock/Psychedelia rock sounds






Bands of the moment:

Pallberer
All Them Witches
Royal Thunder
Causa Sui
Biblical
Kadavar
The Dead Weather

just to name a few of the recent post from bands with NEW music within the last year




As you scroll threw the many pages you will see recommendations galore from all sorts of sub genres of the type of music mentioned above. Click links, see artwork, and discuss... most of all SHARE YOUR MUSIC FINDINGS


I have quoted the OP:
quote:

Overall this is my favorite type of music. I love the way most ''stoner'' metal acts try and capture the nostalgia of classic rock with their funky artworks and fullfilling song time.
I tried to think of the best three songs to describe the "stoner" genre. These aren't the bible, but rather some defining songs IMO. Hope you take the time to listen:
SLEEP- Dragonaut
Kyuss- Demon Cleaner
Electric Wizard- funeralopolis

Feel free to drop tracks from all the mentioned genres or similar.



NO HOLDS BAR





quote:


Another simply outstanding recommendation. I cannot get over how so many of the bands you mention are love at first listen. Every single song is righteous on this one. --Sayre

Would QOTSA be considered stoner metal? Not really a fan of metal and not familiar with the sub genres...

Anyway, saw them at Stubb's in Austin in 2002 and they were pretty damn good...

If they arent considered stoner metal, disregard above...

Anything by Fu Manchu

Fu Manchu - Mongoose

This is a good one that was on the soundtrack ofHighway. The Desert Sessions was a collaboration from a lot of different Stoner Rock acts.
The Desert Sessions - Johnny the Boy

Some of these may be borderline stoner rock.
Corrosion of Conformity - Albatross

Alabama Thunderpussy - Heathen

Sonic Flower - Goin Down

Kyuss - Gardenia

I consider this the first Stoner Rock tune:
Black Sabbath - Wheels of Confusion

Impossible to do this genre justice without mentioning any of Wino's bands
Saint Vitus

The Obsessed

Spirit Caravan

Wino

Most stoner bands are influenced by Black Sabbath, but most of their music was just a heavy version of blues. The real originators of the stoner rock sound was Pentagram

Some more modern bands
Weedeater

Buzzoven

Bison BC

Bongzilla


This is one of my favorite genres overall and one I could go on all day about.

Sabbath isn't 'stoner metal', but this song damn sure is.

QOTSA may be a really good band, but they arent stoner metal or any metal for that matter. DOWN is a stoner metal band. They sound nothing alike.

RWAKE

More sludgy and doomy. I describe them as what the noise inside Jordan Jefferson's head in NC game must have been.

New Red Fang music video

quote:

The video for "Blood Like Cream," off Red Fang's third LP, Whales and Leeches, begins with Portlandia's Fred Armisen running into the band's local bar and frantically explaining that zombies are on the attack. The band themselves seem unconcerned until they learn that the zombies aren’t the kind that want to eat brains. It's worse: they're the kind that want to drink all the beer.

So this thread is 8 pages long and no one has mentioned the band Thou? They're from Baton Rouge and certainly one of the more prominent bands in the sludge metal scene. They have been called stoner metal before but I would say they are more doom/sludge. They're one of my favorite bands regardless of the fact that they are local and I try to see them whenever they play.

Dopelord - Black Arts, Riff Worship & Weed Cult





DOPELORD-Acid Trippin'


quote:

As far as band comparisations go, Dopelord is like a "best of" with a heavily influenced sound they proudly make their own. It's as heavy, trippy, spaced out and stoned as we always love and loved it in the stoner/ doom departement. Dopelord's second full-length continues where Magick Rites left off with added charm and flavor. A more fuzzy and rawer approach than its predecessor. It's seems like the band added a more sleazy and vintage feel to their overall sound and production quality. The riffs are dirtier and the vocals are more exposed.






So far so good... some of you will enjoy the hell out of this

Surprised no one has mentioned Earthless, great music mostly jam little vocals if any, long songs

LINK

Also huge fan of Mastodon and The Sword though both those bands cross into different Genres depending on the Album but hell I have liked everything both have done

AFAIK, Black Sabbath's Master of Reality album is considered the first Stoner/Sludge Metal/Rock album.

For example, Dragonaut by Sleep sounds a LOT like the songs on Master of Reality.
