ethan posted:For me, punk metal doesn't get much better than Disfear This is badass, thanks man. A few bands that are worth checking out if you people haven't heard: I'm sure they've been mentioned before but a band I really can listen to in pretty much any mood is Stake-off the Witch. For me, they're one of those bands you don't realise how much you are into them until you notice how often you play their records... if that makes any sense. Fans of ladydoom should check out Azula. Elder - Great stoner/doom. I don't think I've seen Snail in this thread. Check them out, I've been really digging Terminus recently. Balam is like the lovechild of Reverend Bizarre and Electric Wizard.

At the end of the show, Phil Anselmo came out on stage with a birthday cake for Matt and got everyone in the crowd to sing him Happy Birthday. What a bizarre, awesome ending to probably the loudest, heaviest show I've ever been to.

Roeder thanked Al and Matt for being such good bandmates, and wished Matt a happy birthday. They all hugged Despite that wonderful moment, I actually preferred the Portland 2010 show, simply because they played more of "Dopesmoker." They've been slowing the songs down since then though, which was very interesting to hear. Also interesting was a new jam that they used as an intro to the middle part of "Inside The Sun." I was hoping to hear the ending jam of that song too, but no dice.

Is anyone going to London to watch the St Vitus gig this coming Monday? Getting pretty excited about it myself, it'll be my first time seeing them.

I'm about to go see Cough and Dragged Into Sunlight. I am so drat excited. On an unrelated note, how do you feel about going to a concert by yourself? Through various reasons, no one I know is going to see this show and... I'm still going to go, but I never know what to do with myself at a show in between bands (besides drink) if I don't have a friend there.

I go to plenty of shows by myself, just drink beer and talk to people. I am jealous that you get to see Cough.

For Cough, I wouldn't want to go with anyone anyway, I'd want to focus on the music and zone out.

# ? Jun 7, 2012 02:52 |

I did just about that. Cough were sick. I don't think I've ever seen a band that played songs slower live than on an album. I love going to small shows where you end up hanging out with people and they happen to be in the bands you're about to see.

Egypt is releasing their first album since their 2009 debut sometime soon and just posted the first new song. Available here. It seems maybe a little faster/more upbeat than the older stuff but not in a bad way.

From Sleep's facebook feed:quote:Our brother Matt is in our hearts and minds as he starts down the road to recovery from alcohol dependency. Sleep's May 2012 tour was unforgettable but now it is time for Matt to get the professional treatment he deserves. Please join us in sending him healing thoughts and prayers.

Matt Pike is a very cool man. Glad that he recognized he has a problem and is getting it sorted out, but I hope this doesn't adversely affect his marijuana consumption.

So much for a new album I guess. Glad he's seeking help. Guy was bloated as hell.

What do you me... Oh. The recent hospital visit is probably related, glad he's getting help. As someone who has experienced a brain clot, it's really drat scary. Especially after you learn what has happened and what it can cause.

"As good" will be a matter of opinion given the stark differences in sound but Earth has been pretty drat incredible since Dylan Carlson got clean.

I'm probably going to see Black Mastiff open for Ancients open for Boris at Sled Island in Calgary in a week or two, so what's the most accessible path you guys could recommend for getting into Boris? I've only listened to Pink, and I enjoy it, but I know they've got dozens of other albums, I just have no idea where to start. Edit: I should point out I'm more into the faster/harder aesthetic of stoner/desert rock like Atomic Bitchwax, C'mon, Clutch, Fu Manchu, etc., and not so much into the doom sludge stuff like I know they've done with Sunn O))).

I didn't see this mentioned here, but Candlemass released what will apparently be their last album, Psalms for the Dead. They said they won't be making any more albums because they want to stop before they "get too old and start putting out half-lame albums". Candlemass was actually one of the bands that got me listening to doom metal so it's kinda sad knowing they won't be making any more new stuff probably.

Matt Pike was at his finest when he was a lean mean wrecking machine, so hopefully rehab will bring out the best in his artistic ability as well as his personal life and health. Good luck to him. In his prime, he looks like he's on the verge of tearing his guitar apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxbdNuloKVc

Start with the 2002 Heavy Rocks (orange cover), that should be right up your alley.

I'm like a month late on this, but aw poo poo the new Bong is fantastic. The album was recommended to me as "like Om, but more chill", and I was not disappointed.

Has anyone received the Dopesmoker vinyl yet? Or does anyone know if they've shipped yet? Southern Lord's website says they'll ship approximately the first week of June.

Yikes, all that Matt Pike trouble is really bumming me out. I finally got a copy of The Art of Self Defense, after getting all of the other HoF albums. Jamming it right now for the first time and it is RIGHTEOUS. Hope he works it all out so he and HoF and Sleep can continue to rule our wallets and souls.

Pitchfork is streaming another new Baroness track, "March to the Sea". It's not what I was expecting based on the videos I've seen on YouTube, but I can't say I'm not excited as hell for this album.
