Blast Fantasto posted:Yo, I created it. I'm really happy that it's taken on a life of its own and people are regularly adding new stuff. Right now there are about 1 - 2 albums per artists, with exceptions for Sabbath, Melvins, Sunn o)))). I don't know that succinctness is going to happen, it's already 63 hours of doom and terror haha. Great stuff, yeah I trimmed down the artists with a bunch of albums added, hope you don't mind. Again feel free to chop and change things if you think the album choices are off. It's been a great Instant Riffs Button for me too and I'll think of more great albums to add to it.

Just bit the bullet on High on Fire/Pallbearer/Lucifer tickets. That's an insane triple bill for $20.

Henchman of Santa posted:I've never understood that. Florida has a huge population, is the cradle of American death metal, and - at least in regard to sludge and stoner - is not that far from a lot of hotbeds. Is it just too much of a pain and too expensive to get to south Florida to justify touring there? Florida is a pain in the rear end to tour in, it's a pretty big detour to go south to Orlando or Tampa when you could be heading west to NOLA or northeast to all the big east coast cities. Also it's flat, and its boring, and the weather sucks.

Of course. It's just really odd because they could definitely play a bigger one (like the Crofoot in Pontiac or St. Andrews Hall) and their Chicago show is in a converted opera house.

Thalia Hall is REALLY well converted, though. I've been there 3 times since it opened and it's quickly become my favorite venue in Chicago. It's also not as huge as you would imagine a converted opera house being.

Yeah, Jalamanta might be Brant's masterpiece. When it was reissued, there was a nice little documentary made about the writing and recording process: part 1:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv0XGtLcFyQ part 2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cTtbsY2DBE Brant is the real deal. You can tell that his music is just who he is.

This old video of Acid King surfaced, before they released their first album. Thought you guys might be interested, supposedly the earliest live footage of them playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5AkUDbHIBY

Man, I wish there was a doom band that used crazy instruments like a hurdy gurdy, nyckleharpa, wheelharp, etc. It could sound pretty awesome, just real heavy and interesting. wheelharp - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGOqIYo9cBE hurdy gurdy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypuaJLHK_LQ (reminds me of OM's Haqq al Yaqin or something off Advaitic Songs) flirty dental hygienist fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jun 21, 2015 |

Maybe not quite what you're after, but for something outside of the usual drums/bass/guitar you could try Ore. Also that hurdy gurdy video is pretty cool.

Polegrinder posted:Ore sounds pretty great. Who knew a tuba could be so heavy! If he were playing true tuba doom he's bust out a Wagner tuba  Seriously though I'm kinda surprised that the low voiced horns don't pop up in doom or sludge bands more often. To my mind horns like trombones and bari saxes are a natural fit so long as the player thinks "doom" rather than "jazzjazzr&bjazzPAYATTENTIONTOMEEEEEEjazz" which as I think about it is probably the reason.

Josh Homme loves adding horns to his records. I think every QotSA album has at least one example.

I've never been huge on QotSA and I didn't see any session horn players on wikipedia the few seconds I looked, so if you could toss me a few specific examples I'd appreciate it. What I really want to hear is like a trombone player who listened to a poo poo ton of Weedeater and Bongripper and so on. What the world needs is riff-obsessed horn players.

Their other stuff is an awesome hybrid of prog, punk, and klezmer, but that track's pretty heavy.

Earth used to tour with a (baritone?) trombone player actually, not sure whether he's on any of their records but I definitely remember seeing a horn with them back around Coma Mirror. Bohren und der Club of Gore play very doomy and minimally wanky jazz that uses a sax to good effect. I don't think I'd compare them to Weedeater and Bongripper but they're definitely worth checking out.

I saw Pelt open for Earth once, and while it's more on the psych drone side of things they did use a fair amount of exotic instruments. Other than that one show I don't know anything about them so I can't recommend any particular releases but hurdy-gurdy like pumped drone box instruments were in full effect.

Ok now this is a stretch but talking about interesting instruments in dark music makes me think of the Rhythm Devils album recorded for Apocalypse Now. I guess it's more tribal percussion or something but the whole record has this great spooky evil feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yUanhu3svk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r6-XC_uMzQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PD1I_2YgAI theres Grateful Dead members in the band but don't let that scare you off, it's good

nomapple posted:The atmosphere is what keeps me coming back. It sounds really stormy. I don't know how to explain it better. Yeah this. I like it way better than any other Thou full-length, they only really have one mood and it's so aggressive and...down, for want of a better word that after about half an hour of it I'm usually done. I like their EPs better mostly, but Heathen really struck me as listenable by contrast to any of the other full albums, it's got a much warmer/fuzz-heavy sound than any of their other stuff and comes off as much livelier/more passionate rather than just loud and harsh. also Free Will is a drat good track.

Hey, you Europeans, Elder is touring your weird continent with Mos Generator. Go check 'em out. Started a couple days ago, so the first few shows have already gone by, but there's plenty more. Not sure if this the most up-to-date schedule. Elder was talking about adding some dates, including a few in Netherlands, so check out their Facebook and see if there's any not on this list. Click to big.

I did kinda crack up when the first track went for the Spinning Wheel-style ending though, amazing. Thanks for both. To contribute for a change if people aren't familiar with Disemballerina they are worth a listen. They're kind of like a string quartet but violas take the top voice spot instead of violins and on the whole the music is darker sounding. Not metal per se but not too out of place in doom.
