Reading over the the gear tips, would pretty much all the guitar recommendations transfer over to bass as well? I got a little practice bass amp for cheap about a month back, but haven't got around to actually getting something to plug into it yet. Doom and sludge have long been my "home" sub-genres, so that's what I'm most interested in playing, obviously. I'm not a total musical neophyte if it matters, but my background is not in the stringy or hitty bits. I've always trended to the lower end in the past though, so I figured bass is where I should go.

Houseplant posted:For the longest time I would have said to go to the BM thread with this, but their new album is loving nutty and fairly southern so I have no idea what to say. The new album is definitely worth a spin or two just to experience it. What I heard was the newest one, yeah. I'll dig back a bit into their catalog in short order though, even if it's less...southern(?) sounding. Killsion posted:They come from Paris, so no. I'm really not into their new style though. It just feels so disjointed. I much prefer their earlier straight orthodox records like Manifesting the Raging Beast. I can absolutely rec that, but nothing after. I kind of enjoy how it shifts around, myself. I'm not a huge black metal fan, though I can certainly enjoy at least some of it. I solid am from southern US though, and it just amazes me how dead on they can nail that feeling down coming from somewhere entirely different.

Juaguocio posted:Anyone have any nominations for album of the year? For me, it's From The Ages by Earthless, with Mario Rubalcaba as MVP. For me it's probably between Church of Misery and Windhand. CoM always hits the part of my brain that just really wants to hear some dirty blues that makes me want to drive fast and murder people. I've tossed Brother Bishop at people who aren't into that side of metal usually and it always gets a look of "oh poo poo," so I figure that's worth something in and of itself. I don't think this album surprised anyone or reinvented anything, but they can drat sure write riffs. Soma's a totally different thing though; it slows me down. It's something I try not to listen to while I'm at work because otherwise I can't get a damned thing done. The tempo sinks into my bones and that's all she wrote. So I listen to it while driving home or whenever I start to get frustrated with something. Basically it's chill out much for me, in the best possible sense. I also really enjoyed Pelagial by The Ocean, but I'm not sure they belong in this thread. It isn't quite up there with Precambrian for me, but I much prefer it to Heliocentric/Anthropocentric.

Henchman of Santa posted:Yeah, Uta Plotkin is my favorite female clean vocalist in metal. She's got a hell of a set of pipes. Cauldron of the Wild was a very underrated album. I'm down with this. Lots of great female-fronted doom going these days but Uta is my favorite hands down. New song rules, any word on a date for the full album or whatever it winds up being?

Preorders for the new Yob are up now, but I'm kinda irked that the shirts that come with the CDs are different from the ones that come with the vinyl. I want that purple shirt, but I don't really do vinyl because I don't have anything to play it on and CDs are a lot less hassle anyway.

Friends Are Evil posted:I'm assuming this is about Southern Darkness Fest, but holy poo poo I still agree with this guy. Bongripper's amp blew partway through their set and they only got to play 2 or 3 songs, but their set was still the most metal thing I've ever seen. Yeah, that's where I was. Losing what...10 minutes? to equipment failure does suck but anytime they were playing it was mindblowing. So loving good. Any idea what the chick who got up on stage, tried to tell the band something, and then dove off and bolted was about? Missed Yautja because I was at ASG's set, and they do a pretty damned good job too. Was kinda bummed that Black Tusk was playing against Bongripper, but what can you do? Had some hard choices to make.

Does anyone know much about Bongripper's merch, specifically if they only do limited runs of things? I really want that loving goat shirt and it's sold out, so I'd like to know if there's hope of me getting one or if it's a pipe dream. Also, looks like High on Fire's coming through in a few weeks. I really do love it when the stars align and I'm swamped in awesome shows.

Agustin Cienfuegos posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHi8mHZQa7o New video from Birmingham's Alunah, female fronted trad doom kinda stuff. I dig it. Thanks for this, I'll probably snag the album when it drops. Been listening to the new Yob since it got to my door last week and I gotta say I love it. Not much to add to what other people have said about it, just wanted to chime in. Also the first time I've actually bought something on vinyl and I have to say that it looks pretty damned sweet. Get to see High on Fire this Friday  . Will be the first time I've gotten to see Matt Pike live, so I'm super stoked about it.

No I do not really think that  I did listen to their latest album that got all the crazy praise something like three times through, but nothing ever grabbed me. The hype did crack me up, though.

clearly not a horse posted:hell, I haven't even listened to Black Sabbath.  This is unreal. Sabbath is like the foundation of this thread. Everything is built on Sabbath. Seriously do yourself a favor and go through the first four albums because if you enjoy stoner metal even a little bit, you'll enjoy Sabbath. Henry Rollins said we should rename el Nino to The First Four Black Sabbath albums, because they've wiped him out on numerous occasions.

Baron Von Ghoulosh posted:From 1995 to 2005 I have probably seen Clutch a dozen times. By 2005 they played almost nothing from the S/T album. Personally, I didn't care most of their albums since Pure Rock Fury either. Then, I caught them last year supporting Earth Rocker, which I would consider a true return to form. They played Spacegrass, Escape From The Prison Planet and I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth!!! Finally... Redemption. I think the real curveballs last night were Texan Book of the Dead to start the set off, and the encore started with fuckin' Animal Farm. As a whole the set felt Blast Tyrant-heavy (Cypress Grove, Profits of Doom, and Regulator all got played), but it was pretty well balanced. Elephant Riders and Pure Rock Fury!  Torche were pretty good. It's the first time I've seen them live but I've listened to them for a while. Was pretty stoked to hear Vampyro, made me smile. Obviously no idea how they stack up to the days of yore but once they started playing I was very quickly in "yeah that's definitely Torche" mode. I'd like to see them in a smaller setting I think, but they worked for me at least.

I caught them opening for Amon Amarth without really knowing much about them and was really impressed with their show. I say go for Yob for sure, and then give Enslaved a chance. Not much to lose, yeah? Also, super jealous of you people that will be able to catch that tour. Atlanta is the closest they're coming to me and that's like 7-8 hours away. Floridaaaaa
