Conan and Bongripper were pretty great last night. I had to leave about half an hour into Bongripper's set to catch the last train, which was a shame because they were slaying it. Support from a local band called Atargia (I think) who were decent although the mix wasn't great and I could barely hear the vocals. Humanfly apparently had van issues and didn't make it, pity as I've seen them before and like them a lot. e: it was pretty loud but not as much as some gigs I've been to (Earth at Thekla probably top that list for me). That said I couldn't find my earplugs and I'm paying for it as I've had tinnitus all day. big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Apr 27, 2013 |

Ah Crap! posted:i don't listen to much slow stuff but i could listen to Bell Witch over and over. Dylan, the bass player from Samothrace, is in it and does so many bass nibs and sings awesomely. they floored me when i saw them live. Thanks for the heads-up. Checked out their first LP because of this post, and I'm really into it.

I realize I am quite late on the news that Baroness have had to replace their drummer and bassist due to complications from the accident: http://baronessmusic.com/update-3/#more-596 however Baroness will be hitting Dallas and Austin soon. I'll either be going the short drive 20 minute to Dallas, or I'm gonna make a road trip out of going to Austin. Either way. With the accident and personell changes I can easily see a situation where, if Baroness continues to develop as a band, the remaining members' mental and physical injuries might change the quality or style of their work. For better or worse, I'm not trying to be a doom sayer. Maybe they'll go back to the wonderfulness of Blue or something? What I do know is, I should probably see them at least once before they start making new material and shifting their style more like they probably will. My question is, does Baroness put on a good live show? I've never liked recordings of live shows because the audio is always total poo poo and it's never a fair representation of being there. So I'm curious for those who have been, is it worth the price of tickets? Riot Bimbo fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Apr 29, 2013 |

Having seen them on the Blue tour, I can absolutely say they put on a great live show. Highly recommended.

It's sad they were forced out of the band by their injuries. I don't know how involved they were with the writing but I hope baroness keep developing their sound. I don't share the desire for a return to red or blue style baroness, I've loved every album so far.

Definitely worth checking out the list. http://baronessrelief.org/items

So the body's new EP Master, We Perish is out today on At A Loss Records and they posted a new video for the song Worship. This is my favorite type of video, minimalistic, yet memorable and striking. Also eerie unsettling, just like the band. I will never stop talking about them because they are so awesome. A great mix of punishing heaviness, noise, doom, sludge, and those vocals... it's like the captured the tortured screams of Hellbound victims. Don't know if this was posted yet, but they previously released another video for The Ebb and Flow of Tides in a Sea of Ash from the same EP and it is equally haunting. They are doing a tour with Subservient gently caress and I am so sad they aren't coming through my town, but that just means more people can experience them.

It's my dream to see Boris play "My Neighbour Satan" live. The version from Smile:Live is blisteringly amazing. In other news, Kylesa have posted another new song, further confirming my suspicion that this is going to be the metal album of 2013 for me, even if they have probably posted half the album by now.

Someone posted the same setlist in the Boris thread, with Vanilla and Angel marked as new songs (like, new new, not Praparat new). Boris is passing close to me in two weeks with Pallbearer opening, I'm hoping to make it out to that one.

Here's Matt (the singer) doing his doom dance while they were opening for Unida last Friday night:  I've seen them a few other times live too, most notably this time last year when they opened for Black Cobra and Fu Manchu And here's a band I never thought I'd get to see: Unida featuring one John Garcia.  It was a pretty awesome evening.

Yeah it was a pretty intense pit. At the beginning of Unida's set I was in the middle of the front row and got pushed towards the left for a bit, then as the set ended got pushed nearly out the door on the other side. For the encore I just went and stood by the bar with the other guys I went with. Edit: Just saw Truckfighters and they are one goddamn amazing live band.

Wow. Not what I was expecting at all. Definitely gonna have to buy some at some point. I'm particularly looking forward to hearing Domkirke, the album they recorded live in Bergen Cathedral in Norway.

I'm listening to Sunn's first "album" Does Your Cat Know My Dog? and the sounds do not match up with the cover art. At all. I'm glad on later albums they matched the art with the music. EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. They're compilations.

big scary monsters posted:(Earth drone supremacy) 100% this, although I do love Boris' drone stuff too. I wonder what makes one sort of drone preferable to the other? I guess the notes they pick? That said, I saw Sunn live and I thought they were pretty incredible. "Have you ever felt a sound?" is a very apt way to advertise them. Still haven't managed to see Earth or Boris yet though  Any other drone I should be listening to whilst we're on the topic?

So I just started listening to Ramesses, and they're super heavy. I really like their first ep, it really reminds me of the old days of electric wizard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTSWO-jCVBE And then in one of their songs, there's a sample where a guy says "Dig the music kids". So I was googling the quote to see where it's from. Instead I found this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cXdGS1dgYw, labeled as music for children, and I unironically enjoyed it. Normally I listen to a lot of the doom / heavy stuff in this thread, so is it really weird that I liked this
