I'm looking for bands that blend doomy-sludgy bass and drums with reverb-y shoegaze guitar and vocals - kind of like if Alcest used doom as a foundation instead of black. Can anyone recommend a band like this, or something similar? sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Feb 1, 2014 |

nerve posted:Old Witch is the first band that came to mind Not really what I meant in terms of vocals, but I like their sound anyway, so thanks! Robophile posted:Maybe try The Angelic Process? THIS is closer to what I'm talking about. Like a 50/50 fusion of dreamy and doom. Really digging this.

This is from a few pages back and I got some good suggestions, but I found a band that completely scratches this itch for me: Year of No Light Pretty much exactly what I wanted. No vocals on this album, but their older stuff does which is also very good.

Seriously digging on Of Solitude and Solemn right now. Atmospheric/post-metal doom. There's only an EP and a demo, but it's all good stuff and most songs are 10+ minutes. Demo: http://ofsolitudeandsolemn.bandcamp.com/album/of-solitude-and-solemn EP: http://ofsolitudeandsolemn.bandcamp.com/album/starlights-guide

Crackerman posted:So John Garcia finally released his solo album. It kind of sounds like if Kyuss stayed together but started running out of steam after 6 or 7 albums. UFOTofuTacoCat posted:I'm still trying to get into the album, I've only gotten to stream a couple of the tracks so far, the production sure is an improvement from the first album. Though I slightly miss the sound they had going on the first album with the melody guitar parts. So far the vocals seem like a huge step up and pretty impressive. Maybe that's what's getting peoples attention?

Thanks to whoever recommended Zebulon Pike's "Space is the Corpse of Time" in one of these metal threads or another. It's a weird album sometimes but it's full of doomy-proggy goodness and I'm really enjoying it.

The loudest band I ever saw was The Boredoms. They're loud as hell to begin with (9 simultaneous drummers when I saw them), but they also played at a tech school with a brand new state of the art venue with acoustics designed for no sound to escape. You could feel the sound rattling your guts through the whole show.

I'm listening to the new Pallbearer and it feels like a return to form. I loved their first album but wasn't all that into their 2nd. It was missing a lot of the guitar harmonies that made the first one really memorable. Liking it so far.DEAR RICHARD posted:The Pillorian album is pretty drat good. Has the other Agalloch spinoff released any material yet?

A human heart posted:well, if the press is inaccurate then it might make sense to be a bit annoyed. Also if the press is giving them attention at the expense of other, better bands, which maybe isn't the case here but has certainly happened in the past. If there's one thing consistent about metal fans though it's their willingness to quickly turn on something that gets mainstream attention. Inter Arma was underrated for years and then got on a bunch of 2016 year-end top 10 lists, then suddenly a bunch of haters came out of the woodwork just because other people liked it. Paradise Gallows is a fantastic prog-sludge album but it's like being really awesome is some horrible detriment for a lot of people. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Mar 31, 2017 |

Juaguocio posted:New Elder has some great instrumental parts, but I feel like the vocals sound less and less suited to their music with each successive album. I wasn't a fan of Nick's vocals on their self-titled. Then from Dead Roots up until Reflections it sounded like he was doing sort of an Ozzy thing. Which was fine, but it kind of didn't matter because there'd be like 1 minute of singing in a 15 minute song, especially on stuff like Lore. I like the synthy prog stuff on Omens, but for lack of a better term, Nick's vocal delivery sounds... "jowly" I guess? If there's one gripe I have about Elder it's that they often save some of their best riffs for outros. They could have whole songs based around the riffs introduced in the last 1-2 minutes of songs like Lore, Sanctuary, or Halcyon, but they don't even start until like 10-12 minutes into the song and then they just fade out. Sometimes the songs even seems like they end before those riffs kick in, so it's like a teaser for a totally separate song they'll never actually write. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 00:46 on May 8, 2020 |

Snowy posted:Speaking of inter arma covers, the vinyl is pretty and there’s copies left They've been one of my faves since Sky Burial & The Cavern, and as some have said they're amazing live, especially just watching TJ and his endless stamina. If you haven't seen it, here's TJ effortlessly aping John Bonham when he was 7 years old. Dude was born to drum.

I've been a huge fan of ERR for years, but I wonder when she's just going to cave in and start an actual metal band already. She's so metal-adjacent and guests for heavy bands so often that she might as well. Marriages is great, but they're alt-rock/hard rock at best.

chunkles posted:i'd settle for just another marriages or red sparowes album I mean yeah, same, but still. I guess there's a collab album with Thou coming at some point, so that'll have to do for now. I know RS had a reunion gig not too long ago, so maybe there's more on the horizon. Her last solo album sounded more like Marriages than her previous stuff and she toured with a full band this time, so that's probably the best we'll get for a while.

I've been listening to Huntsmen lately and they have a really interesting sound. Big mix of doom/post/prog/stoner/sludge, with a combo of classic rock harmonies and growled vocals. One of their Bandcamp tags is "americana metal" and I feel like that's fairly accurate. I started with their 2018 release, but they just put out a new double album a few months ago.

I loved Type O, but I totally get why they're divisive. Leaning into the whole goth thing was a prolonged joke (and presumably an easy way to get more girls at their shows than a hardcore band who sings about killing cheating girlfriends), and even the 'serious' albums are full of dark humor. Their songs are really fun to play on bass too. I met them all once after a show, and they were all very cool and really appreciated their fans. Kenny was sick so he couldn't talk for long, but still made an effort anyway. I talked to Josh about his Moog, had a beer with Johnny, and Peter was a real sweet guy and just as self-deprecating IRL. And he was HUGE. He towered over everyone. What led to Pete Steele's death was pretty sad too. Late in the band's career they were contracted by WWE to write new entrance music for the wrestler Kane. It would've really given them a ton of mainstream exposure, and they worked hard on it and were really proud of it. But at the last moment WWE pulled out and gave the song to Finger Eleven instead, and didn't even tell them at first. Apparently the deal falling through drove Pete Steele into a deep depression and he started abusing substances again. He got clean in his later years, but the damage to his body was already done. There's a pretty long list of lives Vince McMahon has ruined, but that one really pissed me off.

Yeah, I was talking about early Type O. There are a scant few sections of SD&H where it seems like Peter JUST realized he could actually sing instead of shout, and they ran with it after that.

Detective Thompson posted:Saw this earlier today. Love seeing Inter Arma live, and it's far enough in the future to see how live shows go before this one happens. I live closer to Boston, but have friends in NYC and have been wanting to get back to St. Vitus, so two of those dates work for me.

Boredoms were easily the loudest band I've ever seen, and it's not even close. Earplugs were almost not enough. Part of it was that they performed in a venue specifically designed for trapping acoustics. If you walked outside you couldn't hear a thing, but as soon as you opened the door you'd be assaulted by a wall of sound. But it's also that they had 7 drummers and insane guitar effects. I could feel the reverb in my chest.

Huntsmen released a cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash's 'Carry On' ahead of their upcoming EP. https://huntsmen.bandcamp.com/track/carry-on Really on-brand for them since their style is pretty much blending stoner doom & CSNY-style harmonies. I think I've recommended them here before.
