That's awful. I'm not big on Black Tusk but that's really lovely. Thankfully his girlfriend made it okay. I can't find anything on him passing though. Where did you see that? Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Nov 9, 2014 |

I'm not sure which member of Baroness wrote this (I'm guessing John Baizley), but here's a tribute. Serious  ahead:quote:Some folks shine more brightly than others. Today we lost our dear friend and brother Athon, who distinguished himself, unknowingly, by shining just a little more brightly than the rest of us.

Yeah, I live down in the area. The whole local music scene has been totally shaken up, Athon was one of the most genuinely nice people around.

Looks like the border guards caught Wino with 11 grams of amphetamines, resulting in him being expelled from the country. Make sure to see Saint Vitus now if you get the chance, because this does not bode well for his supposed sobriety.

Oh it was a great night. In fact I'm listening to Necro Deathmort right now. At 8am. Bong cancelled at the last minute which suuuuuuuuuuuucked as it was the main reason I went, and a few people I talked to felt the same, but I could hardly turn up my nose at the rest of the lineup. I hadn't listened to NDM that much and it was a huge surprise, I was captivated from start to finish. 11paranoias delivered some amazing riffs for an hour which is exactly what you'd expect from their material, and I actually missed Dragged Into Sunlight at Temples so I was really glad to have another chance to see them. It was super intense and heavy, and so tight. The songwriter is a close friend of a friend actually, but back when I got to know the guy they were opening for sludge and doom bands like Bossk and Manatees, rather than the other way round. Glad to see them doing well. I love Exchange, I saw Bongripper and Conan there too and it's the perfect size and sound for doom gigs.

I've been following the band since the beginning, they're like a family to me so I'm glad you enjoyed the show! We were a bit pissed off with the really bright EXIT signs and lack of smoke but at least it wasn't as bad as in London the night before where they kept way too many lights on, we were furious. Oh well. The lovely lady Sofi who put it on was by far one of the best promoters ever, she made the entire evening so comfortable. I can't recommend her enough to other bands, she deserves some sort of reward for her work. Plus the venue was hella' cool, security was awful though. Ended up doodling these two while sort of passed out backstage thanks to ~good things~ Solefald fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Nov 12, 2014 |

Oh well. Hey, I was at the London show, and I enjoyed it because I love DITS (I'm wearing a tshirt I picked up at the show now, actually), but you're right about the lights. Wasn't nearly as intense as the first time I saw them at Damnation with all the smoke and the darkness. Still really good musically though. Excited to hear some new recordings from them. The Dome is a kind of sucky venue though. It's a shame it seems to be being used a lot recently for bands who either don't suit the size of the room, or aren't big enough to fill it. I guess it's cheap or something. I'm sort of worried that Ascension (a German BM band, just in case you're unaware) who are playing there in a few months are going to be sort of swamped. The issues with the lighting reminds me of when I saw Celeste in Brighton. They play in complete darkness with poo poo-loads of fog, and wear head torches to see their instruments and stuff. Unfortunately, the fire exit sign was so bright that it was killing the atmosphere. A bunch of people took turns covering the sign to try and keep the atmosphere right, and then in the last 20 minutes or so of the gig, they opened up the curtains which shut the bar area off from the venue, entirely killing the atmosphere. Then they refused to close them again. Sucks. From the DITS london show, Hooded Menace and Resurgency were great too. We didn't see anyone else because of pizza and beer preoccupation.

About a year ago I went to a Windhand show that was a couple hours away at a venue I'd never been to before. It was at The Hideaway in Johnston City, Tennessee. I saw a Dragged Into Sunlight flyer on the wall. I was so happy...then I read that it was from a show in 2012 that I could have gone to if I had known what was up. Now I'm afraid they will never come to the U.S. again. I'm so sad about this. This Old Man Gloom is really good, thanks. In the past for whatever reason I had categorized Old Man Gloom as not for me but this stuff is clicking with me.

Just got in from Destroyer Fest in St. Pete. Lots of good stoner-y metal goodness all night, and topped off by the mighty Weedeater. Best $15 I've spent in a long time. Fuckin' tired now, getting old kinda sucks.

Eyehategod and Today is the Day were sick last night, but gently caress having five bands on the bill when winter is coming in a city where people rely on public transportation to get home. Shows shouldn't get out at 1:30 in the morning. Also the venue doesn't really have a backstage so I literally rubbed shoulders with Mike IX Williams and learned that he's even shorter than I am. I kind of wanted to talk to Steve Austin but just couldn't deal.

Saw mastodon last night. They're touring their new album, which I haven't really listened to. They played a lot of stuff from leviathan though and a few tracks from crack the skye. Their sound was pretty good live compared to what I've heard in vids of them. Worth checking out!

Wiser Fool are one of the best rock bands in Vancouver right now. I saw them play a great set opening for Bison earlier this month, and their new album is killer: http://wiserfool.bandcamp.com/album/all-that-is-left-behind Their last release had more of a doom vibe, whereas this one is generally faster and more on the hard rock side, which is where my taste has been running lately. I'm a sucker for 9/8, so I particularly like track 4, "What Is In Your Head?" Juaguocio fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Nov 24, 2014 |

A couple of y'all have mentioned Witch Mountain's latest Mobile of Angels. Don't sleep on this people. Uta's last record with the band and it's an awesome one. I love every track and that last one is a killer knowing that it's the last new WM song with Uta I'll ever hear. WM definitely fits the bluesier spectrum of doom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP0-pYCvhuM Also another standout for me this year was not-so-strictly doom from Agalloch with Serpent & The Sphere. Fantastic. Both bands outta Portland and both albums recorded by Billy Anderson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czl1kemvgNs

I don't know what it is about Old Man Gloom but I can never get into them the way everyone else seems to. They're nice and heavy and I like all of the other bands the members are in, but I feel like they're always less than the sum of their parts. And the ambient sections suck.

Yeah a lot more of the heavier gigs have gone to Exchange since The Croft closed, so it's more of a recent thing. It's right in Old Market - basically just across the roundabout from Cabot Circus (the main shopping centre). So it's basically right there in the centre - you'd have no problems if you got a bus to the centre, just walk through Broadmead or around Castle Park.
