I've been spinning this album a ton recently - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ZZtkDq1G4 Black Betty's self-titled (and only, sadly) album. It's nothing too unusual, just fun stoner metal/rock with big riffs and big vocals and plenty of catchy bits. The band has been on indefinite hiatus since the album came out in 2007 I believe, but it's worth checking out! They could probably benefit from having a bassist but it works well without.

I really need to see Windhand live, they're from my city so I have no excuse not to. They're playing a show with Dead Meadow at a venue 2 blocks away from me next month, I'm stoked. I did manage to catch Inter Arma over the summer, also from my city, and they did not disappoint. Great year for Virginia metal.

Nit Wit Dog poo poo posted:They're on bandcamp. Rad! Sadly lacks The Hemophiliac Dream; I legit have no idea how to legitimately get that release other than ebay. It is kind of weird that they aren't more well-known, being on Tortuga and having Jeff Caxide as a bassist for a while. Their split with Kid606 is one of my favs, incidentally I saw Kid606 a while ago at a glorified house show and he was super great.

Dyna Soar posted:speaking of yob and that shadow of the torturer shirt, there's a doom band called shadow of the torturer that used to have travis from yob on drums. also mike played with a lot of the same dudes in h.c. minds, including old yob bassist isamu sato. I found these guys a while back in my search for Gene Wolfe related music and was pleasantly surprised, pretty good stuff. Didn't know about the Yob connection. I've been listening to Clearing the Path to Ascend all day tho. Anytime is good time to listen to YOB. How is Acid King live? I'm not a huge fan of their recorded stuff but seems like it might be a lotta fun. Def. gonna hit up that Yob tour.

There is a new Witch Mountain album that officially comes out tomorrow. They got a new vocalist. I'm listening to it now and it's not immediately clicking, feels less heavy and doomy than their last one, more chuggy and rocky and bluesy. It's streaming in an embedded Soundcloud thing in this Vice article - https://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/article/gykv5q/witch-mountain-is-still-reinventing-itself-after-20-years Definitely gonna see them on tour when they come through, at least.

I've never seen anyone switch between harsh and clean vox that seamlessly before. Good to see ya briefly! I talked to their drummer quite a bit, super nice guy. Said the band is in a great place right now so there should be plenty to look forward to from them. Next doomy show I'll probably hit up is THE BODY in a few weeks. Do they typically play studio material or do different stuff live?

They've been moving in this direction (clear production) over their whole career and I think they pull it off really well. She is a great vocalist.

poop dood posted:I am currently at the first date of the current Satan�s Satyrs/Windhand tour and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Satyrs are playing new material from their album dropping on the 19th and the new Windhand songs sound tight as gently caress. I anticipate having a sore neck tomorrow due to the amount of headbanging during the Satyrs set. I wholeheartedly recommend catching them on this tour. Welp guess I gotta drive 3 hours to LA on a weekday  Did they play any older stuff? Windhand that is

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.

I think Im the only doom fan in world who doesn't care much for HoF. I dunno I love Sleep and Matt Pike is the poo poo but they've just never clicked for me. Prolly gonna try again by listening to them a lot at work, that usually helps me start liking stuff. Glad they won a Grammy tho. They did put on a real fun show when I saw em in like...2009? on tour with Converge (great) and Dethklok (gimmick wears off even faster live)

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.

Blast Fantasto posted: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. 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.

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

I saw Boris last year at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland as I happened to be there they were, that was nice. Good venue for them. Joe Preston opened as Thrones and he was really cool too. saw Acid Mother's Temple at the Casbah here in San Diego recently and it was sick so def gonna try to catch Boris there. Nthing that Boris rule live, go see Boris

Darthemed posted:Somebody's probably gonna jump in with 'that's more indie rock than blues!', 'cause they do kind of feel like a swamp rock White Stripes on their last album, but the lead singer of Acid Bath had a side-project called Deadboy and the Elephantmen which dipped into blues somewhat. Before this Dax and some of the other Acid Bath guys also had a band called Agents of Oblivion that they formed after Audie died (rip) that's some pretty sick bluesy rock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b-9N7giy2w one album that idk how easy it is to find, there's some demos on YouTube that are generally better than the final recordings anyway

But luckily BWHL is going on another tour after with Monolord, who I am indifferent to, but will go to - maybe Monolord is good live?

Snow Cone Capone posted:Is this the right thread to talk about how bands like Graveyard and Witchcraft are great? double posting but. if you are looking for "occult rock/doom" vibes in general then there are a bunch of 'em that popped up around 2010, give or take a few years in either direction. all of these happen to have women singers, shoutout to Jinx from Coven for being the ur-witch. they're all a bit derivative-sounding but most are worth checking out, in rough order of how much I like them: Blood Ceremony, Jex Thoth, Purson, Electric Citizen, Black Moth, Sabbath Assembly, Psychedelic Witchcraft, The Devil's Blood, Jess & The Ancient Ones. I am sure there are more too. oh and try Devil's Witches too. one-man act that does some neat stuff. the first two songs from the "Velvet Magic" album are like always stuck in my head.

'Samaritan Burden' is definitely Magnus's tribute to Tool lol. probably gonna buy a cool Witchcraft shirt to let everyone know I like Witchcraft. Jex from Jex Thoth used to be married to Jackson Toth aka Wooden Wand who is not stoner/doom but still makes really cool folky music. now I wanna buy a Jex Thoth shirt too urgh
