Buy the new album by The Sword on CD or vinyl, get a free cassette. I think they're just trolling hipsters at this point: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=179571

Since we don't have a "NWOBHM Revival" thread, and since these guys are spiritual cousins to Graveyard anyway -- I just discovered Horisont: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fELhPgQgDVY and it's a thing of beauty.

Their sound is pretty distinctive, at least to me. Probably tough to match perfectly. Maybe the likes of Karma to Burn, Truckfighters, Samsara Blues Experiment? Kyuss and Earthless for instrumental stuff in general, although Earthless is much more straightforward psychedelic rock. Orchid, if you don't mind pure old-fashioned Sabbath worship. But I'm on an Orchid kick, so that's my go-to suggestion for everything.

Saw Down in Austin last weekend and it was probably the worst concert I've seen them put on. Hell, one of the worst this year period. A messy sound mix, killed any the momentum they had with a lousy performance of Conjure, Phil couldn't sing worth poo poo or remember the people who opened for them... I'm not saying it to be a jackass -- they were my gateway into the genre so it's a genuine bummer. I saw them reform in 2002 (or 3?) and every show I've caught since has been sloppier and sloppier. Or I simply became a greybeard, that's possible too.

Fly McCool posted:I dig the Sabbath-esque, twangy (?) sounds of Kyuss, The Obsessed, and some of Bjork's solo work. Who are some other bands within the genre that veer towards more of a "rock and roll" sound versus a heavier one? I don't know how much of a Sabbath sound you'll get from some of these, but they're definitely more r&r than super-heavy: Troubled Horse, Witchcraft, Graveyard, Orchid (total Sabbath worship there).

Zoben posted:Anyone hear this new tune that Phil sings on? It's a bit more "metal" than "doom" (I don't post in the metal thread) but I think his voice hasn't sounded as cool and bluesy since NOLA/Down II with all those harmonies and poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgFGODoXXbY Dig it, thanks for pointing it out. I'm with you, his singing style went away from what I thought was one of Down's strengths. Glad to hear it still exists somewhere.

Saw Earthless last night and I'm now convinced their drummer is a cyborg of some kind. Octopus, possibly. They played for about 75 minutes, or 5 songs The openers -- Eagle Claw and Ruby the Hatchet -- were both great too.

RTH debuted two new songs at the show ("Killer" and... I forget) and they both very much had that sound we seem to like. They're releasing the new album in March, I believe.

Laserface posted:I have these and they are much better than the old ER-20s. Just realized that I have the old version (got mine in 2015, thank you Amazon order search function) and I must be using them wrong because they don't do poo poo for me. As in, they don't attenuate the volume at all. Gave up on them after a particularly painful show and went back to the plain foam kind. I never thought I'd be using earplugs incorrectly, but here we are. Any... tips?

Thanks all, I'll try them again keeping your suggestions in mind (except for yours, inappropriately named forums user 'A human heart'). I think the next show I'm going to is... Soundgarden?Darthemed posted:Every time I see a bunch (relatively speaking) of posts in this thread, my expectation isn't that there's a new album out or cool concert coming, but that a band member died. Yeah, same here.  Or if I hear the same band on the radio more than once in a given day. "poo poo, that's the second Black Sabbath song today..."

I loved Lore so I'm really looking forward to some quality headphones-on time with new Elder. In other news, some Austin-based musicians (from The Sword, Brown Sabbath, Brownout, etc.) are working on a Doom Side of the Moon tribute album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9toFP9jdqI

I'll admit that I generally prefer more unique covers myself, and they did go safe with that first song. Then again, I can't really complain -- I prefer the stoner sound over straight doom Sludge Tank posted:That looks sweet! Any idea when the rest is due? Looks like the official release date is Aug. 4th, although you might get it a week earlier if you preorder: https://www.indiemerch.com/doomsideofthemoon

^ That is fantastic! Is your work all digital? I'm sloooowly working my way into linocut printmaking and what you did there is inspirational and is giving me ideas. I'm digging the music too. I might have the auditory equivalent of prosopagnosia, but the very opening to the album has echoes of Tool to me. I know Tool and their fans can be... controversial, so it's not meant as an insult -- I genuinely liked it.

I went on a rollercoaster of emotions: 1) Elder is playing Austin on 10/20! 2) Hmm, better check my calendar to make sure I'll be in town 3) Aw man, I already have something scheduled for that evening 4) It's the Elder show! Because I bought the ticket 3 months ago

If you've got some time to waste, I could use help putting together a playlist loosely inspired by Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" and could use some help. I've got stuff like: Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan, Zeitgeist Cathedral - Astral Queen Down - Jail Kyuss - A Day Early and A Dollar Extra, Space Cadet Monster Magnet - Black Balloon, Zodiac Lung but I'm open to suggestions!
