I've been on a bit of a drone kick this week, but I'm having trouble finding something that suits my taste. I really dig a bunch of the recommendations in the OP and figure maybe yall can point me in the right direction. Random/glitch/noise types just don't do it for me right now. Early Earth seems so close, super simple and focused on the guitar's tone, but the sound is way too clean.
Its hard to explain, maybe an example of what I want will help: http://soundcloud.com/modemo/evil-procrastination

It doesn't have to be that simple, but maybe something I can play around with, or play over, or keep on in the background w/o getting too distracted. I dunno... Doom Goons, can ya help a brother out?

Got a link to the new Boris video yesterday http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/music-videos/558-boris/2765-hope-riot-sugar/
Wata.
I don't even know wtf, but I'm mad as hell right now since I missed them last time they came through.

And completely opposite I thought they were great live. They could have come out and played just the Great Cessation and I would have been happy.

Just saw them last night and I have to agree. Their usual drummer was out though they still crushed. They also played one song off The Great Cessation and it was incredibly heavy.
In general I'm not a big fan of vocals, but i guess hearing them live makes all the difference. Dark Castle's were pretty drat intense, and a couple of Yob's were loving surreal.

There was a local act opening, and they might have been alright, but the lead decided to crank his poo poo way too loud in the middle of the first song so i listened to the rest of their set from outside.

Not to derail too much, but I know we have some musicians in here and I need an opinion about a fuzz pedal... I've been looking around and need help choosing between a Fuzzy Lady from PlumCrazy FX or a Hoof from Earthquaker devices. Or maybe another one I just missed completely? I'm leaning towards the Hoof right now.

For content, I picked up Elder's new release Dead Roots Stirring last week and got around to listening to it today, and I gotta say its another pretty solid release by Meteorcity. I guess they have pretty good ear for choosing their lineups cause so many oftheir bands consistently nailed that stoner/sludge sound. I'm not blown away or anything, but it was like :10bux: so I'm not disappointed at all.

Oh yeah I know, its taken me a while to narrow it down to those 2.
I don't play stoner/doom exclusively, so I'd like to be able to use it for other things. But I do play it for fun and I want to be able to nail that sound and maybe a couple others when I do so I figured I'd ask here. I've been getting close with just my overdrive cranked to fuzziness, but it isn't the same as a dedicated fuzz. Thanks for the Black Arts tip, definitely good stuff there.

Nice, I really had no idea what to expect but that is definitely good to hear, thanks.

Also thanks to everyone who recommended Celeste here a while ago, I finally got around to listening to their stuff over last month and I liked it a lot. A whole lot.

Seventh Rule are giving everything away for free on their Bandcamp for Black Friday. Go download some Kongh, Indian, BATILLUS, Lord Mantis and Author & Punisher.

Also Panopticon is the best ISIS album.

Thanks, just found Speak Loud Say Nothing by Wizard Rifle there and I think its loving good, it isn't free, but if the other songs are as good or better than Megatherium I might get it.

Boris has tons of stuff so it might change depending on what you like, but I don't think you can go wrong with Pink or Heavy Rocks (the first one).

Melvins gots tons too, but I started with Gluey Porch Treatments and don't regret it at all

Very awesome.

Huge, Rainbow, Pink, Vanilla, Statement, Angel, Cosmos, and then Flood in its entirety.

My eardrums got blown out my butthole.

edit-- and I will say that if anyone knows how to do atmosphere with fog and lights, it's Boris.


Hell yeah dude, I saw them on Saturday playing an outdoor stage and the sound, lights, and smoke were like perfect.

can anyone tell me if the 1997 Ahab - Käpt'n Ahab are the same as the 2006 Ahab that put out call of the wretched sea? They sound really different and one tracklist/album is in German while the other is in English so I'd like to know.

New YOB track from Roadburn. Pretty brutal! Hopefully it works, youtube has been a turd all day today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BxCSeVfmQg

Last time I saw Yob they had Dark Castle's drummer and it was super dope. If they have a new album coming out and are going to tour soon I am going to be so loving hyped, the venue they played here has closed down but they are so good I'd travel to see them if they play nearby in a place like Austin.

I really want to see a good Drone set played live for once, something like Black Boned Angel or stuff off of Altar w/ Sunn0))) anyone know of some bands still doing that or planning to soon?
