There are a couple tracks up on YouTube from a recent show in Springfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpdQyFPUtHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYR0PvDnOqw Really liking Rush The Face, both in title and in sound. I guess it'll be one of the slower tracks on the record though, because it certainly doesn't sound like the fastest or heaviest Clutch material I've ever heard.

Rush The Face seems like it could be a cool album closer. Here is another new one, "Crucial Velocity". Pretty bad-rear end song, with some sweet funky break downs. Can't wait for the new album, I loving love Clutch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJUCR9ZsM5k

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.

Just hit those crash cymbals a lot and you'll be ok...lol. And watching Dixie play bass is pretty fun. Also whiskey.

Apologies if this has been posted here before, but I just came across it. Basically one of the guys who runs Doomantia, a dedicated doom metal info and reviews site underwent heart surgery and has a massive medical bill to pay off. To help him do this, they've put together a 4 hour doom compilation available off Bandcamp for $7 USD. The compilation looks pretty good, and it goes to a good cause, so I thought it would be worth posting here. Also any vinyl fans who missed out the first time, Southern Lord have second presses of the Dopesmoker reissue available now, on blue vinyl with a metallic jacket, or purple vinyl with a regular jacket. These look really awesome, I wouldn't hang about waiting though as I reckon they'll go pretty quick. OK enough of sounding like I'm just trying to sell you things! Did anyone hear the new Eyehategod 7"? Releasing a 45 second sample online was really loving stupid. Is it any good?

The new Sword album is out there for listening. I like it so far but they're definitely latching on to the sound and structure they made with Warp Riders. It's just not grabbing me like that one did. They're definitely still listening to Hawkwind while they write, I just wish they didn't stick to a formula so hard. It's worth hearing though

Morbid Florist posted:The new Sword album is out there for listening. See, and I felt just the opposite. I mean, yeah, it's definitely more Hawkwind than either Winters or Gods, but overall I feel like this is a much stronger album than Warp Riders was. I will admit that I don't really like Seven Sisters or Hawks and Serpents however.

I thought Warp Riders was a completely lame retread of their older albums. The songs even sounded bad live, especially compared to the old ones. I also don't hear even a hint of Hawkwind in their music, apart from the goofy sci-fi lyrics. Where are you getting that comparison from?

Definitely; Hawkwind was more spacey and drifted a lot over droney repetition; they had tons of horns and group vocals. The Sword is much more driving, and changes up the riffs a heck of a lot more often. I still thought Warp Riders was pretty cool, though. e: Holy poo poo this is hard to watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeUOPr4HTlU

Listening to The Sword always makes me want a '70's model Dodge van with a spaceship landing on some unknown planet or a Frank Frazetta painting airbrushed on the side or it and a mattress in the back with wall to wall black light posters. I'll always adore this band for that. Hell yeeeeeeeeah...

I really wish they went more in the direction of the song Apocryphon, it's the only one that really stands out to me on the album. I'm hoping these last two (Warp Riders and Apocryphon) are just stumbling points where they are trying to progress their sound but they haven't quite got it yet. I don't think they wanted to get stuck in repeating the first two albums over and over. I like the direction they are going, but they just aren't there yet.

So I recently stumbled across an album called Tumuli Shroomaroom, by the band Acrimony. It seems like it's a bit of an unknown (or at least under appreciated) release, but I think it should be up there as one of the best stoner releases of the 90s. http://youtu.be/gAhyAh7IzIs

I've always liked the track you posted, along with "Motherslug" and "Heavy Feather." There were a lot of good releases in the late 90s and the turn of the millennium, right around the time that "stoner rock" became a catchphrase. Lowrider have always been one of my favourites for straight-up Kyuss worship, and Sgt Sunshine take the Kyuss thing further with interesting Latin influences. Speaking of Kyuss and Latin influences, Ciudad De Brahman by Los Natas has been in constant rotation for me lately. Their combination of desert rock riffs, mellow psych interludes and melancholy vocal harmonies is really wonderful. Ciudad lacks the Billy Anderson production of their later releases, but it still sounds fantastic.

It's substantially the same line-up as Acrimony IIRC. Also Wo Fat have got a Kickstarter up to try and fund a full European tour built around their Roadburn and Desertfest shows. Not sure how many Eurogoons are in the thread and might consider pitching in, but I certainly will be once I shuffle some money off my Visa.

So, Honor Found in Decay. I waited for my preorder to arrive to hear this one. So far I am finding it pretty difficult to get into. I expected it to be dense, but I think the fact that it is pretty mellow by their standards, and the fact that it moves at a slow pace contributes to this. I like the sounds overall, but Bleeding the Pigs, for example, is totally passing me by at the moment. The first 3 tracks are totally fantastic though. Hopefully with repeat listens I'll really get into it. I don't think Neurosis records are supposed to be instant anyway.

My pre-order was delayed by Sandy, so I have no idea when it will get here. I'm also waiting to hear it until I have it in my hands. I really liked the only track I've listened to so far, At The Well, and I enjoy their more recent work just as much as their earlier heavier stuff. I also really like Scott Kelly and Steve Von Till's mellow acoustic projects, so I'm expecting to at the very least enjoy this album, even if it isn't super heavy. They've never put out a bad album imo, and I don't expect them to start now. I'm a little late to the game, but I also picked up Ancestor's In Dreams and Time yesterday, and man that album is a beast. I'm glad they got rid of the noodley organ stuff from the last album and put in a bigger variety of synth sounds and effects. The songwriting is also much more focused, and the production is a big step up. Thalamus fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Oct 31, 2012 |

Thanks for hooking me up, I've asked if they planned to visit other countries besides Holland and the UK I'll share the answer. Also chipped in enough to get a vinyl. Wo Fat and YOB are my two favorite bands that I've discovered through this thread, make sure you give them a listen if you like bluesy fuzzy sludge. edit: answer came quick: "Right on, man! Thank you for your kind words. I am pretty sure that we will be playing in Paris when we're in Europe next April. We're doing the tour with Abrahma, who is from Paris, and I think that's probably where we'll fly into and out of. Thanks for helping us out. Maybe we can have a beer together next spring.

So I've been listening to Torche--Meanderthal and I love it. "Sludge Pop" is the closest I can describe it, like a balls out Foo Fighters. Besides the new Baroness, are there any other bands out there that resemble Torche? They are almost a missing link between sludge and more guitar oriented indie rock.

This song (and everything by Neurosis save for the one song Locust Star) pretty much encapsulates my dislike for anything neurot: it's all so pretentious beyond belief. Easy and fake depth everywhere. I consider myself an Isis fan though, so maybe I've got no leg to stand on with the above opinion. For content: Serpentine Path is great.

Yeah, I feel the same, but I started with Harmonicraft. Really hope there are other bands that have this cool turn on normal sludgy stuff.
