Trees and Squids posted:I love how metal fans have claimed 16 Horsepower and Woven Hand as one of their own. I haven't really checked out his Woven Hand material thoroughly yet, I love Secret South and Low Estate though, is there any album I should start with? Might as well start at the beginning with the self-titled debut. Mosaic is really cool too.

Owsla is "epic crust" (I dunno what else to call it but you'll understand if you listen), Elil is a weird middle ground between the sludge and the epic crust sound, it is basically the sound of Owsla put into 20 minute song structures, really good. Inlé is all out sludgey goodness.

The production on this album makes it sound so thick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxBSZW6P0dE Pretty much the last "classic" Melvins song before they went all 70s boogie rock for the past decade. That whole album is one nonstop riff fest.

If the rest of the new Cult of Luna album is similar to this new track it's going to be everything I wanted Eternal Kingdom to be. Back to the heaviness of The Beyond, but much more dynamic. gently caress, it's awesome. https://soundcloud.com/indierecordings/cult-of-luna-i-the-weapon

I'm wasting a Saturday drinking beer and watching Star Trek, so I'll tell a little story when I was in maybe my second or third year of college I was heavily involved in a  forum called rawrshare/etcetera. I was mostly into simple punk and dumb hardcore at the time, but my tastes were beginning to broaden. Someone made a big post of doom/sludge (which were entirely foreign to me at the time) and I downloaded Electric Wizard because lololol that's a funny name. I think I was in between classes waiting for work, when I popped it on in my iPod. It literally blew my mind. It wasn't fast, but it felt like I was getting crushed. I think I sat with a dumbfounded look on my face until a friend walked up and I handed him my headphones and said, "The heaviest thing I've ever heard." I waited for it to hit and his eyes lit up. I don't think either of us have been the same since.

Just heard "You think I ain't worth a dollar" by QOTSA in a T-mobile commercial on TV. That was....unexpected. I think we should all share our stories of when we first heard and got into this type of music. I've always loved rock and metal. My first CD was Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction, followed by Sepultura. When the first Ozzfest tour came around I missed it, which sucked because I really wanted to see Ozzy and Slayer. So when the live CD came out, I rushed out to get it. My 15 year old self didn't have the common sense to look at all the artists on the CD before I bought it, or else I would have known it was going to mostly suck. Fifth track in was a song called "Locust Star" by Neurosis. I....I was unprepared. It blew my speakers and my mind. I'd never heard anything so loud and heavy at once before. I couldn't handle it. Years later I heard the song again on Youtube and loving loved it. From there I worked my way through their catalog, and started branching out. Saw Queens of the Stone Age at a Christmas concert, worked my way backwards to Kyuss. On a completely stereotypical note, I discovered Electric Wizard when a friend of mine handed me a bong and a pair of headphones. Even though I don't smoke anymore, I firmly believe this is the only proper way to be introduced to Electric Wizard.

How the gently caress do you think I feel? This always happens to me, I fall in love with bands I will realistically have no chance of seeing. If you haven't yet go listen to Woods 4. It's as good if not better. Same thing happened to me with Bolthrower. Listened to Dead Armor, fell in love. Found out the don't tour anymore. Then my buddy told me that they were playing MDF next year, and tickets had already sold out.

I'll contribute to the "how did I discover doom" stories: My parents owned a ton of records, and one of the first I ever listened to was the Black Sabbath self-titled, back when I was 5 or 6. I used to stay up late with headphones, rocking out to some dark as poo poo music. I didn't really expand further until the late 90's, when I first got ahold of Kyuss and heard Demon Cleaner for the first time. That blew my mind, but I sort of kept it there for a few more years. Then sometime in the 2000's I found Moss and thought I'd hit peak heaviness. Explored the slow stuff for a while, stumbled across Ahab, knew a bunch of people into Mastodon so listened to that as well. Then 3 or 4 years ago I came across the song "Grasping Air" by Yob while looking for a Moss track. That changed everything instantly. I went looking for more, discovered most of the poo poo posted here, finally found this thread, and over the past few years have been dooming it up nonstop. Oh, and at some point shorty before I found Yob a friend let me borrow some Thou. It didn't grip me at first, but over the past year I explored their many releases and gained a huge appreciation for what they do. I'm not 100% sure how to classify them (sludge?), but they've been a big influence in my own music.

I took a college class on the evolution of metal (counted as my fine art elective), and I was hoping to find some metal that really appealed to me. I was sort of disappointed until the day we did doom metal. When I got back from class I looked up and listened to everything by every band the teacher mentioned that day. The teacher apparently was in high school band with one of the members of Sleep and said that the first time he ever smelled pot was sitting near him in concert practice.

The first doom metal album I heard was "Turn Loose the Swans" by My Dying Bride. This was when the Tower Records in my area installed these "listening stations" and you could listen to specific albums that the staff recommended. I was drawn to this one just by the title and the store's description and instantly loved it. Also my high school girlfriend was crazy about Neurosis and I got into them through her, listened to Souls at Zero and Enemy of the Sun a lot and later got into ISIS when they came out and were touted as having a similar sound.

Re "getting into this kind of music". In my late teens through my mid 20's I was playing in a band that started out playing punk, moved to grindcore and then ended up as some kind of death metal/black metal/grind mixture. Through that process of growth and discovery I had become familiar bands that slowed things down for a song or two or in parts of songs plus a few bands that did the slow thing full time. Because of my perceived familiarity with the metal genre I feel I developed a blind spot for doom/stoner/sludge. I had been to Weedeater, Buzzoven and Electric Wizard shows not knowing that there was an actual genre encompassing them. This was all before I had regular access to the internet. In my mind death metal was where the heavy poo poo was and even there at least 90% of what's out there is no fun for me. What really got me interested was when I heard Sleep's Dragonaut used in the movie Gummo. Here's the part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBevc5qQFYg So that got me to Sleep but I still didn't know this was a genre until I clicked on this thread out of curiosity. Then the scales fell from my eyes. Now I have more bands to listen to/work through than I have time for. Initially Yob, Bongripper, Ufomammut and Ahab really set it off for me. Colour Haze and Asteroid have been doing it for me lately on the lighter side. My only regret is that I didn't know about all this when I was younger and had time to play music. I totally would have been trying to create my own crappy doom flavors. It seems like this is the one genre that has an endless supply of fantastic stuff. I'm continually surprised. This thread has changed my life.

It's a kind of cool effect. My "stoner/doom/sludge" introduction: "hurr hurr Neurisis", well poo poo I like Isis (basically Panopticon and Oceanic only at this time), I guess I should see what they're inspired by. Listening to Given to the Rising's opening riff for the first time was basically better than my first time smoking weed, and that's saying a lot. I guess a shitload of QotSA in middle/high school counts, but that's more rock, yeah? vanov fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 11, 2012 |

It was the usual Isis / Neurosis that got me into this type of music in general, but it was a local metal bands cover of The Cry of Mankind by My Dying Bride that got me interested in looking into MDB's back catalogue, and then Katatonia, Anathema, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzUYqQY_rKY

A couple of years back, I was on Youtube, watching videos of the band Bigelf (themselves quite a good progressive/psychedelic rock band if you're into that sorta thing) and for whatever reason, one of the related videos was a song called Made of Rats by Orange Goblin. It happens to feature guest vocals by John Garcia and the whole album was produced by Scott Reeder, so I was already in the Kyuss ballpark before I even knew it. Anyway, I loved the stuff I was hearing on Coup de Grace, so I started checking out their other songs, which inevitably led me to Kyuss. From there I spread out to Queens of the Stone Age, Brant Bjork, Hermano, Slo Burn, etc. Also bands like Dozer and Fatso Jetson. If it got labelled desert rock, I was there. Then I started getting into heavier stuff. Melvins was first, and then more doomy stuff like Saint Vitus, Warning, and Electric Wizard. Thus began the descent into bands like Weedeater and Buzzoven. I still have the fondest part of my heart dedicated to lighter desert rock like Kyuss, Yawning Man, Brant Bjork, and etc. but I love it all. So here we are.

Boris did Flood 3 and 4 as their last two songs  It went on for about half an hour and I stood there with my jaw open for easily more than five minutes straight, I think I forgot to breathe. They also opened with 8 minutes of pure doom Great gig, so happy they just played such a variety.
