The first time I heard Ball of Molten Lead by YOB was basically a religious experience for me.

YOB - Grasping Air Thou - Summit (whole album) Ahab - Call of the Wretched Sea The Ocean - Precambrian (okay, more prog but amazing and they just came out with the sequel) Isis - Oceanic And for good measure, the list of non popular sds bands that changed my musical life - these are probably more recommended than the above since they’re not huge: Adrift for Days - The Lunar Maria KAMNI - A.T.O.M. and self titled Horseback - The Invisible Mountain Jack and the Bearded Fishermen - Places To Hide Judd Madden - Drown/Float Major Kong - Orogenesis Moss - Sub Templum Natural Snow Buildings - Shadow Kingdom (not sds, just cool drone) Snailking - Samsara Tank 86 - Rise Warhorse - As Heaven Turns to Ash 35007 - Sea of Tranquility

Besides being a long time Sabbath fan and all the bands like Witchfinder General, Candlemass, Trouble and St. Vitus in the 80s that showed heavy influence from them, I remember hearing the first Kyuss album in '91 and thinking this is really a thing. Yeah, Kyuss, Electric Wizard and the Melvins took s/d/s to a new level for me. Specific albums: Melvins - Gluey Porch Treatments Kyuss - Wretch Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics...

Darthemed posted:Out of curiosity, what are some of the most personally influential S/D/S albums for people in this thread? Sabbath was an obvious staple when I started college in '91 and discovered the joys of music +  but for the niche stuff in this thread it wasn't until I picked up Surrounded by Thieves after reading a review when it came out, that I wanted to deep dive into that doom sound. It sounded dangerous and the band members were all made out of resin. Panopticon from ISIS whet my appetite for post-rock sludge.It's odd how tastes can change and expand. Back in the 90's, I wanted clean vocals and shoegazey guitar. Smashing Pumpkins were my number one band. Ministry was heavy. I swore I'd never be into bands with harsh vocals and black metal grows. Decades later and I'm pre-ordering that Inter Arma record because I can't get enough of the sludge. Random aside: King Buffalo were ridiculous last night and they played to a room of maybe 40 people.

Not necessarily stuff you still listen to regularly, but albums which had a significant effect on your appreciation or perspective towards the style(s). "World Coming Down" by Type O Negative in 2000 to some foray into Crowbar in 2001 or 2002, then "Tears of Mortal Solitude" by Forest Stream in 2003. Reverend Bizarre in 2005 was what finally sent me down the path, saw them live opening for a black metal band called Ajattara, Albert was wearing naught but his underpants and combat boots, Void was also topless and had angel wings to boot. My life was forever changed.

I always cite Melvins' Lysol EP as a fundamental album for me and one of the heaviest things I've ever heard but no one ever knows what I'm talking about.

I could only find a couple of their songs to download, but they sounded cool, so I went to A&B Sound and bought "Sky Valley" on CD. QotSA were one of the most influential live shows I saw too, on the Lullabies tour in 2005. What were some other shows that influenced y'all?

Oh yeah leaving Blues for the Red Sun off my list is a major oversight. I was obsessed with the two big Kyuss albums in high school.

I took a class on heavy metal for a GE as an undergrad. One of the weeks focused on stoner/doom. The professor had required listening each week, and had Sleep's Dopesmoker as "bonus listening". I listened to it five times in a row, the rest is history. If I remember correctly the professor said he was in the middle school band with Al and that was when he first learned what pot smells like.

I didn't really enjoy music growing up, until I was given a dubbed tape of Primus's "Seas of Cheese" album. That's not stoner/doom but the guy who gave it to me basically said, "Oh, and there's this hillbilly band called Clutch that you might like, too." From reading Clutch's message board I found Kyuss, and then that lead me to (eventually) Los Natas, Colour Haze, Sleep, Om, ISIS, Sunn0))), WeedEater, and Electric Wizard. So I guess I have to thank/blame a guy who dropped out of high school in 1996 for introducing me to decent music.

I'd say hearing the classic Black Sabbath stuff when I was a kid did it for me, but my fandom for S/D/S really didn't pick up until I heard Fu Manchu's "King of the Road." Ever since then, it's been a nearly 100% dose of S/D/S.

I - like I’m guessing a lot of people - went from Queens of the Stone Age -> Kyuss -> diving deep into stoner. Which led to sludge, doom, etc. I had always liked Sabbath but I didn’t know what to call it other than old metal/hard rock.

Black Sabbath albums + Dopethrone taught me all about the way slow and loose can be incredibly heavy. Sunn and Om made me realize how ritualistic, meditative and spiritual doom/drone can be. Even if I didn’t realize it early on. Boris/Wata is why Orange is my amp is choice. Watching from a Distance thoroughly hosed me up as a sad introspective teen and is still one of the most humbling albums to listen to. Very few albums hit me so deeply. It’s unbelievably powerful. All of his music is like that really but WfaD is something special. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Nov 10, 2018 |

Was at a brewery last night and right as I walked in Funeralopolis started and I learned they play about half an hour of the wiz as their closing music every night. Definitely going back there. Funeralopolis was what solidified me as a doom fan, years before I had ever smoked a weed.

Definitely going back there. Which brewery? Kindred is ALWAYS playing Dopesmoker in their bathrooms. They otherwise have a stoner/doom playlist going in the restaurant. Dopesmoker, Satan Worshipping Doom and Dopethrone, in that order, made me a diehard sds fan. I was really into prog metal and concept albums and found that sds is really good at building atmosphere.

Local Option in Chicago is always playing metal and they’re particularly fond of doom and stoner stuff. They also had a habit of playing my own band’s stuff whenever our frontman would take dates there.

Atlas Brew Works is the best s/d/s venue in DC, arguably the best for metal in general. Sipping a beer called HaSaWoDo while watching Bongripper play on the factory floor  Plus when the backdrop for the show is several large beer vats you can make "heavy metal, heavy metal" dad-jokes between bands

Fu Manchu played an awesome show. I think that's the best one I've seen them do yet. They did a lot of the new album, which sounded great, and the rest of the set was mostly killer Brant-era songs. "Il Mostro Atomico" worked really well live. Balch is a great guitar player in his own right, so he was able to shred through the solos almost as well as Lifeson does on the album.

It makes me wonder if that track was a long distance collaboration and Lifeson just added the his guitar tracks to a mix from his home studio or if they actually jammed on it together.

I'm curious about it too. I mean Lifeson has been on Trailer Park Boys a bunch so he seems like a cool dude, it wouldn't surprise me if they jammed together in person especially considering the length of the track.
