Cpt. Spring Types posted:I didn't go to any of the shows, but I have been listening to a rip of the vinyl. It does not disappoint. It's extremely heavy, has some super sinister ambient sections. I really like it. For anyone who missed it/is interested, Old Man Gloom preorders went up. I think all the exciting vinyl colours are gone now, but I'd act fast if you want to grab something (unless you're waiting for the CD or whatever). It kind of annoys me that they didn't put a song up to sample or anything. Kind of puts me off ordering. Oh well.

nosophoros posted:I agree. It irks me for no valid reason at all, but still. I've never heard anyone getting upset for this.  At least here many people wear band shirts and those who buy shirts at the gigs immediately put them on, is that weird too? How about sports fans wearing team shirts etc. to a match?I agree a band wearing their own stuff feels kinda off, but then again, the only time that seems to happen if it's a lesser known band so it's understandable they want to "advertise". And like I said, I got the Dopesmoker stuff that day and left it lying around, so that shirt was literally the first one within reach when I came out of the shower, so I thought "why not". Clearly it was a mistake and I must be more careful in the future not to pull off such a monumental faux pas. Enough of that nonsense : the new Ufomammut album seems to be out, anyone checked it out yet?

UFOTofuTacoCat posted:I wish I liked this more. I was kind of expecting some acoustic guitar down tuning/alternate tuning and some interesting vocals. Neither seem to be present. The vocals kind of sound like your run of the mill airy rock ballad singing with the typical rock singing pronunciations. Almost reminds me of Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes or something. I hope the rest of the album is a bit different. Yeah, it reminded of Cat Stevens. I hope that it's just a weak song and that the rest is different/better. It's not that bad of a song, it just feels cliche kinda.

Heh, I was originally going to say it sounds like Cat Stevens + Black Crowes, then I listen to "Wild World" and reeled my comment in a bit as I thought the comparison didn't do Cat Stevens justice.

Hahaha, I got schooled (and rightfully so). I had high hopes for the latest UFOMAMMUT, and while I think it's a solid effort, sadly it's no EVE. Maybe the second part'll blow my mind.

I think it's cool when big bands wear small band shirts, like Metallica sporting a Ghost shirt. Beyond that who the gently caress cares, myself excluded since I cared enough to post this.

The new Ufomammut is great and I think it'll take a huge fuckup for them to make a poor album at this point. I do notice though, that it seems very structurally similar to Eve, the way it plays around a theme over 45 minutes - I don't really mind but I think they'll have to take a different approach after Oro 2 is out, otherwise the formula might get a little stale. Listening to both parts in one go should be a blast, though. Loving the new Horseback as well! Nobody does music like this guy.

Frank Caskelot posted:I just came home from seeing Sleep and let me tell you, it was AWESOME! That live recording of "Sonic Titan" is a bootleg from 1992, so it's not surprising that they can play it a lot better now. It would be pretty cool if they did a proper recording of the song. Interestingly enough, Al has said in interviews that parts of "Sonic Titan" actually became parts of "Dopesmoker." It's pretty hard to hear on the recorded version of "Dopesmoker," but on the faster live version they played in 1994 it's much more obvious.

Bought the single for "Take my Bones Away" from iTunes, sounds so much better than the youtube. I can't believe people (facebook) are like Baroness is the new Nickleback, and that this is their Black album (selling out).

It's really amazing (and sad) to me that so many people want a progressive metal band to just do the same poo poo over and over again. To me, part of what being a progressive act entails is constantly trying new things, and never settling. For Baroness to record Red Album Pt. 2 would be "selling out", because it's safe. The style on Blue & Yellow doesn't seem THAT much different than it did on Blue Record, but because it's different at all, it's a risk, and you'll get idiots on facebook bitching about it.

The same thing was said about Mastodon with The Hunter. Kylesa is a different band now then their first album (looks like they will be experimenting on their next one too). I really enjoy the direction Baroness is going and can't wait for the whole thing. I've listened to the single quite a few times today already.

I've only heard this 14 second teaser on youtube, which basically says nothing we don't already know about Old Man Gloom, but judging from the sheer quality of their past four albums, I'm not worried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2_Y4JTeo-4 Crackerman posted:Do Torche count as stoner rock?

Is anyone making it out to MDF X? I have tickets/hotel/flight reservations, but due to my travelling partner's wife having liver failure and being in ICU, does not look like I will still be going. I might have a couple tickets for sell this weekend, if anyone might be interested. Waiting to hear back from my sister to see if she wants to buy out his half of the trip, but until then it's cancelled. So bummed about missing Electric Wizard.

I found this band promo photo shot in a huge box of assorted promo photos going back 20 years at a campus radio station, and I'm looking at it and wondering if the guy in yellow Mark Lanegan? And if so, who are the other two guys? Screaming Trees era Lanegan, or solo Lanegan touring musicians? Sorry for the terrible quality, don't have a scanner. And I realize asking a question about Mark Lanegan in the doom/sludge thread is a bit weird, but I figure someone more acquainted with stoner rock might know. There is nothing written on the back of the photo.

That Black Sabbath thread died off into the archives it seems. Their performance on Friday at the Birmingham O2 arena sounded amazing. I've been watching youtube videos of it and god drat, they sound great. Ozzy's voice is on point, Geezer sounds great, and of course Tony is fantastic. They are using Ozzy's solo drummer Tommy Clufetos and I think he does fine. I do wish Bill Ward was with them, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad. I'm really impressed and I hope Tony gets well enough for them to do a longer tour at some point.

Sorry if this has been posted, but Morkobot is the greatest poo poo ever. Apparently they're a side-project of the Ufomammut guys but they have nothing in common. In fact no one has anything in common with Morkobot. Two bass players, a drummer and the fattest grooves on earth. Morkobot!

Houseplant posted:New Ahab dropped. Thoughts? I think it may take time to grow on me, like Divinity did, but right now I'm a bit let down by it. Definitely agree with it not sounding lost and desperate which I REALLY like about the first two. Not as many melodic surprises either, like Divinity. The cover art was a sign poo poo would be different this time (I hate it) but it's not the total disappointment I thought it would be based on the song samples they put out. It'll grow on me but I don't think it'll be the perfection Divinity of Oceans is.

I went to the Sabbath gig last Saturday in the Birmingham O2. Such a great night, they were really full on. They haven't lost any of the magic and no one seemed too bothered that Bill Ward wasn't drumming. It almost makes me tempted to get a day ticket for Download just for them. Also, anyone heading to see St.Vitus in June in Manchester or London?
