You want to get in to doom and sludge, you gotta be comfortable with Bong/Weed-based names.

Blast Fantasto posted:You want to get in to doom and sludge, you gotta be comfortable with Bong/Weed-based names. This is only really true if you think doom metal started in the 90s, and even then the best bands usually have enough originality to not just have their name be a madlib of bong and some other word.

Yeah, don't underestimate the importance of random occult terms to pre-'90s doom bands.

I enjoy this Space Bong stuff. Dumb name or not, it's cool. Anyway, here's some new jazz from Forn. https://gileadmedia.bandcamp.com/album/weltschmerz

In really yet to be disappointed by a stoner/doom metal band with bong in the name. Space Bong is good, thanks.

One of my favorite bands that doesn't seem to get much love: Mars Red Sky is putting out an EP before they release their third album. The EP is called Providence and will most likely be really good if you like nice clean vocal melodies on top of heavy fuzzy catchy guitar riffs. You can check out their first album here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyxZZTodsE

It's common knowledge that every band is actually named Crowbar at its inception, and may only choose a name containing BONG after buying a certain number of Orange amps. This rule was put into place after the original band BONG took the name everyone was thinking of.

nerve posted:Don't have Bong in the name, not interested Ahh sorry, I should have specified that their name is derived from the lyrics of Sleep's "Dragonaut" and even though Sleep's name does not contain any verbiage that might link the band to the recreational usage of marijuana I've learned that Sleep often references the recreational usage of marijuana and even uses images of the marijuana leaf in their promotional material. edit: The Seven Degrees of Wake'n Bake'n. Also, in case you missed it and you are Yob fan (mike does the vox) you might checkout the new VHÖL as it is streaming here: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/vhol-sigrid-sheie-interview-stream It's not doom sludge stoner but it rules.

OH poo poo a tour is actually stopping in DC proper on a weekend night!!! And it's Graveyard so I can maybe talk friends and friends' SOs into going!! Totally agreed on the Thy Catafalque, too. I was like "ok" when I clicked through a track but added it to a playlist, then every time I shuffled onto it I was just like "wait...what? WHO IS THIS???" so now I'm telling everyone.

Sleep is playing two shows in Chicago in January http://m.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=6294555&REFERRAL_ID=twet450241 http://m.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=6294565&REFERRAL_ID=twet450241 I had to sell my tickets the last time they were here because of a prior engagement. Not going to make that mistake again.

I saw elder and earthless last night. While dead roots stirring is probably my favourite album I own, I was a bit disappointed by their live performance. Technical issues aside ( they blew up their bass head during "the end") opening with probably their best known track "dead roots stirring" on a Luke warm crowd probably wasn't the best. Filling the rest of the set with stuff from Lore was a let down too - spires burn or the first album didn't even get a look in. Earthless was just earthless. They played songs I knew at least, but it was a little too much guitar wank for my taste. Yob still reign as best gig I have ever been to. All hail yob
