I posted this poster for a show down in Kentucky a couple days ago in the metal thread, and while it's a mix of bands, there's some good SDS stuff in there and the whole lineup is real solid.

Yob is always the way. Dead to a Dying World put out one of my favorite albums of 2015. They're coming out with a new one next month. I am really looking forward to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBSNToAlERA

baroness posted about how several years ago they opened for opeth and high on fire and now they're stoked to be headlining their own shows and I thought that was cute. And then I thought drat I saw that opeth/hof/baroness tour over 10 years ago and it was fuckin sick and I thought I was cool for knowing baroness when most folks were just there for opeth. And then I realized I've seen hof twice which I totally forgot. baroness' Second ep is still one of the coolest vinyls I own, got this really rad etched design.

John Baizley did a pop up record+art shop last time Baroness were here and I bought a rad silk screen from him. It’s still above my bed.

I think Baroness is more popular now in the mainstream sense than High on Fire. At least if you look at Spotify streams as a metric; Baroness top 5 tracks range from 1.5 - 7 million streams each. As opposed to HoF’s top 5 ranging from 275k - 1.5 mil. As for me, I still really like Baroness. I’ve been cool with their gradual change from a S/D/S band to more of an Alice In Chains/alt-metal band.

I’ve been cool with their gradual change from a S/D/S band to more of an Alice In Chains/alt-metal band. for sure, they've been consistently good and held on to a real distinct style despite the changes. I think Blue is my fav album but I'll keep listening to whatever they put out. it seems like so many sludgy doomy band are destined to mellow out as they go...mastodon, isis, kylesa, rosetta, etc. or guys like Dax Riggs who went from acid bath to indie guitar music with a bluesy rock period in between. keeps things interesting. then you've got bands like neurosis that do all kinds of cool stuff without really changing the core formula too much. it is the duty of all cool doom bands to become alice in chains, with the charge led by baroness and windhand.

All of those bands got significantly more boring too (except Windhand, who were always boring). Baroness and Mastodon are probably handling it the best. Maybe when I’m an old and broken 30 something I’ll appreciate these mellow approaches more. I’m also a huge AiC fan but don’t really get that vibe from any of these bands.

A human heart posted:for real, it just sounds like a dull retread of everything they've done for like the last 10 years Yeah Earth are possibly my favourite band ever and the new track does not grab me. It's fine as it goes, but it feels like more of a throwback to Bees Made Honey and after Primitive and Deadly that's a bit of a disappointment. Still, maybe there's more interesting stuff in the other tracks, and I'd still go see them live again no question.

They’re just metal dudes and ladies playing hard rock with a bunch of psych/sludge/prog/etc influence. Same with Mastodon now really. I love the sound. Some Baroness songs remind me of Queen and that rules.

Those three bold ones are all north Georgia-based and to my ears always shared a lot of sonic DNA anyway. That they wound up taking similar paths never seemed that shocking to me  Not talking smack of course because I like all of those bands, but I'm originally from the other, shittier half of Georgia and I've always felt that similarity.

The first time I saw the former, the latter was part of the tour.

Members of both bands went to school there.

I’m sad Kylesa broke up and that Laura Pleasants got dealt such a horrible lovely life card.

isn't Baroness originally from Lexington VA too? or maybe Baizley is just from there idr. it's a nice little town. heart breaks for poor Laura P indeed. her new band The Discussion is pretty good, spacey rock, her voice fits real well. who knows what the future for them holds tho

The other founding members quit the band after the big bus wreck in 2012. Peter has gone back to just playing with his brother Jake in their band, Valkyrie. They're also based out of Harrisonburg.

I had posted a comment on one of her Instagram posts mentioning something about how I hope Kylesa goes more towards a spacey synthesizer sound. Welp, I feel like The Discussion fits that vibe pretty well so I'm really happy. EDIT - I also told her a few times to release a photography book because her artsy photos are really good. So hopefully one day she will. Or maybe do album cover art

I guess I should check out The Discussion. I’ve been in a space rock mood and didn’t realize that’s what they were. I thought I had maybe listened to them once but I guess not. My memory is poo poo.
