I just had my brain melted by listening to Satan Worshipping Doom for the first time all the way through. I fuckin love metal so much.

Polegrinder posted:The Heavy Eyes, very 70's bluesy stoner metal. The bandcamp EP is very rough, they really emphasize that point lol. If they sound this good on a rough recording I can't wait to hear a properly produced album. I hope they just mic up the drums and bump up the snare, because seriously everything else is perfect.

Do any of you musicians know of any good resource/forum for learning about amplification/technique/tips + tricks that's specifically tailored to playing sludge/doom metal? I've been playing music for a long time and I'm finally starting to dabble into playing the genre, but with a genre that's basically defined by amazing tone and sound quality it would be nice to have a primer.

Are there any drone bands out there like Sunn that are a bit more melodic? I love the idea of just pure bass and sound at insanely slow tempos, but I need just a little bit of melody or something to really seal the deal.

Also, if you're brand new at guitar buying good quality used things that keep their value is a great idea because you can always resell for a good amount and trade up. Like, if you're gonna get a microphone get a Shure SM57/SM58 because they're basically an industry standard and you're always going to get a good price out of it. Stay away from behringer/bugera and research your stuff. I just recently got into sludge guitar as well (been playing for years) and there is nothing better than hearing the rattle of your speakers and making sick rear end riffs that move your bowels.

I'm absolutely excited to see that Thou is supporting Wolves in the Throne Room on their east coast tour. Get to see two kick rear end bands next month.

I was just flipping through some TV and I heard Acid King's Drive fast, take chances on the CW for a supernatural preview. Can never forget that riff, its so sick.

fidgit posted:Saw Thou/WITTR last night at a mill/loading dock in Providence. They both sounded really awesome. Should have skipped the opener, whose gimmick was woman lead singer who assaults crowd with mic cord and body odor. Ya, I was at the show last night as well. Probably one of the coolest venues I've ever seen. Wolves seemed kinda boring after seeing Thou play. I felt like instead of being a black metal band primarily, they made the shift to drone/doom and kinda forgot to bring the bass guitar. It was weird as gently caress that literally no band said anything to the crowd, I've never seen that before. Just weird creepy silence. Thou is a must see live though. I was in the back so I missed the opening band's body odor/mic assault, but they sounded like they had potential to be a good band. Just needs work.

fidgit posted:I couldn't see Thou when they were playing, but there was an awesome shadow of them on the left wall. It gave me a huge black mass vibe, like witches dancing in firelight. I've never seen a show there before. Ya, I'm hoping some people took a lot of photos, because it looked fuckin amazing.

The Gasmask posted:Awesome, I'm glad to hear it kicked rear end! I was mainly going for Thou but got into WitTR after I got the ticket (and I think they rock btw) so hopefully I'll catch them soon. I have found a couple sites for east CT/RI there might be some spillover into the west and NY. www.lotsofnoise.com Www.returntothepit.com

Idioteque Dance posted:Yeah I absolutely love the middle section - one of those riffs that's good enough on its own merits that it can be played over and over for 10 minutes. Nice use of delay/looping too. The ending is great, too. Good to hear their roots anyway but Hippie Killer is definitely a superior follow-up Ya, that middle clean section starting around 42m is by far my favorite. It's just 20 minutes of mind soothing beauty, I love that in doom music if you really enjoy a song you can be happy that its gonna go on forever.

Besides ebay and craigslist, do you musicians have any websites you frequently surf to find vintage amps/gear? I'm talking about the usual suspects like old Peaveys, Sound City, Sunn, and maybe some Ampeg.

Mindfish posted:They're not making cool music as much as they are bleeding the legacy dry by playing the same 20 year old songs. Also they have apparently been selling meet-and-greets after shows for $75 a pop. And trying to secure sole ownership of the Kyuss name. Where does it say this? Being in bands is absolutely awesome until someone realizes they can make money or a career from it. Then you start to see who the REAL people are. It's not fun at all. lordblytzkrieg fucked around with this message at May 23, 2012 around 17:49 |

That kind of poo poo standard for tours nowadays, I saw Nachtmystium open up for Cradle of Filth and CoF was selling the same exact poo poo. Can't fault a couple guys trying to make extra cash.

Stand out tracks on the new Ahab are definitely "Deliverance" and "The Giant." The second half of both of those songs are so loving awesome.

Oh my loving god, I was not prepared for all that bass. My biggest pet peeve for Om was that for a band that is only supposed to be a bassist and a percussionist there really isn't a lot of "oomph." Welp, now they fixed that because holy poo poo that is amazing.

I do agree with you completely, but I already love Bongripper. Hippie Killer has some killer parts that fit that bill perfectly, but it's all instrumental. I like hearing SOME vocals.

Agustin Cienfuegos posted:I knew I had read somewhere who it was, but couldn't remember where. Me being un-musical I always wonder how hard it is to learn a bunch of songs real fast. It's very easy to learn songs like Weedeater's (along with most music) quickly. Music generally follows the same pattern. Metal does change up these conventions, but it's a lot of the same poo poo repeated. Intro (which is usually a shortened chorus) Verse Chorus Verse Bridge Chorus Repeat chorus 1/2 step up Outro You just need to learn the important cues like where to be quiet, stops in the music, clean parts, and solos. A couple quick listens of Weedeater's setlist and you can bullshit your way through a set. Most people (I would, because I play drums) don't pay attention to that poo poo because they just want to see Dixie play bass. For tech death/prog metal it's way more tough. There are a lot of odd time signatures and weird poo poo happening so, depending on the musician's prior-knowledge of the material and skill it would take a while. lordblytzkrieg fucked around with this message at Oct 19, 2012 around 17:56 |

bleedbackwards posted:The riff around 7:50 of Burning the Altar is the second heaviest thing I've ever heard. I'd definitely be interested in reading more PYF sludge/stoner riffs. For me the ending of Bongzilla's Keefmaster is heavy as gently caress. The production on this album makes it sound so thick.
