Yes, this track is loving amazing. I tell ya though, if you haven't listened to it already, get YOB's The Great Cessation and listen to the 5th and final track (also called "The Great Cessation") on the album. It's like all of YOB's previous efforts culminating in one monster 20+ minute track of unrelenting badassery. I shudder to think what it would sound like live. My pants would probably stand-up on their own afterwards...
The Great Cessation has seriously been a mainstay in my library for a while now. I'd also recommend The Unreal Never Lived. The last track is obscenely heavy.

Also, I would say some parts of Middian's Age Eternal (especially the last song or two) are right about on that level. They're a lot different from what YOB goes for, but still pretty great.

Well, saw them about 3 weeks ago, and as I recall the first half focused on the three new ones, and some from the first Heavy Rocks and Pink in the second half. Pretty much what you'd expect, although it's been a little while. Very good show.
Yeah, a lot of their set list seemed to focus on their older stuff. Even though I know it never would have happened, it would have been great if they maybe threw some stuff in from their dronier albums like Amplifier Worship.

Great show otherwise, though.

Pretty awesome for Yob, and I guess now I have a reason to go see Tool for a little bit.

If nothing else, Tool seems to have good choices in supporting bands.

Yeah, I really want to see to Yob again and wouldn't mind seeing Tool but $55 before fees is a bit too rich for my blood. Definitely well-deserved for Yob though. I saw Yob in a tiny venue here in Atlanta this summer, it'd be interesting to see them in a big arena. I want to see how the more casual fans react to Yob's mega-doom.

They're going to be at my college so hopefully they have some sort of discount in place for current students. If not, though...

Can anyone point me in the direction of bands that have a dirty, low-fi, "sludgy doom to raging grindcore and back in a single track" sound like Eyehategod? I've been listening to Dopesick way too much recently and I need more music like it. Lair of the Minotaur is close to what I'm looking for, but they're too thrashy.


Lord Mantis?

I guess this is more black metal than grindcore, though.

So there's a new supergroup called Corrections House featuring Scott Kelly, Sanford Parker, Bruce Lamont, and Mike from Eyehategod. They just released their first single.

It sounds more like the experimental stuff Lamont's been doing with Yakuza and his own solo work. Of course, I don't have a problem with this.

Please recommend me more hate filled, crusty doom, kind of like this. I stumbled across these guys when Grim Kim wrote about the vinyl release for Metalsucks, and now I am desperate for more doom that sounds like this. I have Eyehategod records, but that is the closest thing I could think of in my library. The only other doom band I have that I would consider fast enough to be "violent" would be High on Fire.

Lord Mantis and Indian might be up your alley.

Does anyone know a good source for band merchandise such as t-shirts? I want to support these bands and get some sweet shirts.

The best I know of is http://www.rockabilia.com/ but their selection is lacking unless you're looking for the latest Avenged Sevenfold gear.

Also if anyone spots a particularly awesome design relating to the bands in this thread, it'd be cool if you shared it.

Usually, I just buy straight from the bands/record labels. I think it's a more direct way of supporting the bands than going through sites like Rockabilia.

This band crosses enough genres that I'm skeptical to post it in here, but goddamn, you guys have to hear Inter Arma if you haven't already. Can't get enough of this. It just came out on Relapse.

Their Bandcamp page. The song "'sblood" is the one that's being touted around the usual metal circles right now with a lot of positive responses.

Here's a Pitchfork review for the album. Not the best review, but nails what I dig about it.

Besides Sleep and Gorguts can anyone point me to any other heavier bands on that list? With the exception of Sleep this line-up doesn't seem to have the metal that the previous year had.

Mount Moriah isn't really heavy, but the guy behind Horseback is in it.

Wold's on it too, if you're into noise/black metal. So are Evoken, Loincloth, and Inter Arma.

Does anybody still listen to 90's style doom/death?

After a long time listening almost exclusively to the stoner/sludge varieties of doom, I got a strange urge the other day to get some new doom/death. I'm treating it with Bilocate(a band from Jordan... they'll be one of the opening acts for Orphaned Land in Europe. Pretty good stuff), but I don't really know of many bands that play this style of doom anymore. Suggestions?

Black Sabbath's new album topped the Billboard charts.

I think this might be the first time I've ever seen a doom metal album top Billboard.

As for 13, it's certainly not a bad album. Way better than I was expecting it to be.

Any recommendations for occultish doom bands that rely heavily on organs, choir chants and such? Clean vocals are a must. While I know Ghost is maybe leaning more towards ABBA than Black Sabbath, I'd love to find bands in the same vein.
