With "Bong Mountain" being released by "The Wizard of Bong Mountain" which contains one riff being repeated for about an hour and twenty minutes, I'm afraid that the genre has reached its peak, everyone must now go home. Sorry.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzIe415YegE

I just saw them last Monday, it was good as usual but not quite as loud as expected. Probably because of the venue, last place I saw them in Madison was in a smaller venue and it was more intense in general. This newer venue is kind of cavernous; lots of room, but, almost TOO much room. I had a hard time hearing Pike's solos which shouldn't be an issue at any loving show.

To further belabor the point, are those who forgot plugs or never wore plugs to shows a lot younger or something? I'm not asking in like a snide or condescending matter (maybe a little bit, gently caress you young people lol), I'm just curious because I'm old as dirt and I the last time I attended concerts without earplugs was in my early/mid 20's or so. It was cool because of the overwhelming noise while at the show and all that but long-term effects aside, it's just a pain in the rear end to have your ears ringing nonstop for 2-4 days.

Detective Thompson posted:I know everyone is talking about it and I've already called anyone who doesn't wear plugs dumb, but as someone that has tinnitus (developed, of all things, from a cold I had a few years back, not from shows since I WEAR MY PLUGS!), wear plugs, please. Tinnitus sucks, hearing loss sucks, major hearing loss in old age is bad and can contribute to cognitive declines/dementia according to some studies. Protect yourself as much as possible. Don't be some cool tough guy/gal/whatever that thinks not wearing plugs makes you seem like a badass. It doesn't. Most people at shows wear plugs. If anyone gives you grief for wearing them, just tell them to gently caress off in a low voice and laugh when they ask you what you said. And it has been said before, but I've found plugs actually make shows sound better, cutting down on that over-modulation that fuzzes things out. It comes up in this thread like every three pages (of course that's when we actually get replies in here, heh) and I was just harping on it because I sincerely wasn't understanding it, that's all. I can dig if somebody is always forgetting to bring them to shows, but I bet that people forgetting the plugs sure as hell don't forget their weed! Sheeeeit. In fact: http://shiiiit.com/ I don't think that anybody is giving another person grief for wearing plugs. I've never had that occur to me nor anybody I know at any show, so I can't see that being a cause for any sort of peer-pressure anxiety. Like it you quit drinking and you're worried that somebody is gonna call you a pussy, it's not hard to blow it off. Just be like "what are, you, twelve?" I have my own lil' SDS band like half of the peeps in here too, so I always have earplugs on hand which makes it easier to remember them. Vincent from Dopethrone just posted on FB that he woke up with complete hearing loss in one ear, which is hopefully a temporary oddity, but it's kinda sobering at times. Old man rant over. Oh and new Baroness is pretty eh. I dig Baizley but his voice is starting to get too "sing-songy" for me in areas, to the point where it reminds me of pop-punk Blink-182 horseshit, and the only time I want to hear Blink-182 is when they're screaming from being boiled alive in a vat of acid

Anybody go to Psycho Las Vegas? Seeing lots of cool videos posted on Facebook from the show. I heard that at least 3 bands got denied visas (among other reasons) and had to cancel -- the ones I'm aware of are DVNE, Rotting Christ, and Oranssi Pazuzu. I've never been able to go but always interested to see the set lists and whatnot.

Varg posted:so is this a cover for the real Telekinetic Yeti or the fake one? Looking like another Batushka situation here.. Heh, yeah this art is for the drummer's version, or the "fake" one, or whatever people wanna call it. I just got contracted to do the illustration, I'm not privy to the drama details. I'm sure Anthony will tell his side of the story soon, my part of the deal is finished -- if the project is deemed not "legitimate" or whatever, I got a cool piece of art out of it (I usually sell prints of the work without the band's name on it of course). Generally the music/band/personality stuff is really none of my business, I just draw purty pictures. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out though.

It was supposed to come out in like June but their label had some kind of big tour with a headliner lined up which fell through so they decided to focus on polishing it up and getting more songs on it perhaps. Looking forward to it because "Rift" was loving killer

This is only notable to me I guess since I was involved in the artwork side, but the Telekinetic Yeti situation was resolved with Anthony (the drummer) changing his group's name to Twin Wizard. They released their first full-length so check it out if you'd like, it's got Brad from Droids Attack on vocals (Anthony played all the instruments on the album but when they play live Brad will do guitar/vocals). https://twinwizard.bandcamp.com/releases Here's the cover what I did, I've shared it before but this is the final one (I made one with the Telekinetic Yeti name on it before so I had to change it)

I was completely starstruck even though he's not like a "superstar" and my buddy was taking pictures of us surreptitiously because he and I were hanging out watching the opening band, and my buddy knew I was all geeking out on the inside. This was when he was doing Deadboy as a two-piece with Tess (who was kind of bitchy, actually). Anywho, I hate Rotten Records but you can hear some Agents of Oblivion here.

Forming the Void released their new album "Reverie." Lots of great stuff, very Eastern vibe for lack of a better term. Vocals are great, some of the songs are a real trip. They'll start kind of clean and melodic and end on some sludgy doom poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUSG3KDjnfY

Just chiming in to say that I love Type O Negative and Peter Steele. I used to listen to a local radio station when I was like 13-14 in 1994 or so, this show called "The Mosh Pit" would be on from, say, 2 AM to 5 AM. I would listen to it and tape songs (on CASSETTE) which I liked or requested (on the LANDLINE PHONE), so the first one I heard was "We Hate Everyone" which I fell in love with, mainly because of the slower middle breakdown part. Their poo poo was so tongue-in-cheek and sardonic, and it was obvious that Pete was just being contrary and edgy in interviews and lyrics and such. I mean, yeah, today it's cringey but I loved reading the front page of SA in 2001, and the monkey cheese humor in the forums was a blast. Looking back at any post from then is awkward as gently caress. I feel like Pete would have changed with the times and kept making killer romantic doom/goth music, maybe doing a more croon-y side project or something. Some of the edgelord imagery notwithstanding, by all accounts the guy was a sweet fellow at heart. Nostalgic follow-up about that radio show: I used to listen to it and be a zombie the next day at school because I got 0-2 hours of sleep, but it was worth it. Through that show I discovered Korn when their first album came out in 94, when they were refreshing and heavy; I heard "Ball Tongue" and I thought they were like an odd Japanese band. I also discovered Acid Bath, which would make it worth it just by itself, Morbid Angel, Amorphis, also weirder stuff like Anal oval office, Brujeria, Gwar, and X-Cops. And TON of course.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:New All Them Witches is actually pretty heavy. There's some good sludgy riffs in there. Cool, thanks for the link. These guys have released some of my favorite albums in the past decade, but some of the more recent material was relatively lackluster to me. On a completely different note, I wish that they'd get a different artist for their covers other than their drummer. He's got a scribbly aesthetic which has started to look shoddy compared to the music. I'm a big ol art nerd though so it probably doesn't make any difference anyway

HenryJLittlefinger posted:Yeah, I just can't get excited about their album art at all. Or their logo. I've come to expect more traditional psychedelic art from stoner bands, I guess. I've listened to a handful of bands just because of their album art, some of which you did. My eyes just slide right off theirs because it doesn't match their sound at all. In general the art doesn't matter too much if the music is great, but it's a nice way to visually complement the musical and lyrical content, and you're right -- it must be the genre, because I've grown accustomed to seeing some interesting and elaborate art for stoner albums. At the same time I don't want to bash the style simply because it's different, it's just not my cup of tea. I'm with you though, I've listened to some bands without necessarily knowing how they sound because the art was rad, it's all part of the marketing and packaging. I've even tricked myself into getting some substandard beer/wine/etc because I liked the label. I've seen ATW a couple of times, I don't know if he always does it but one time the singer dude had a lot of fuzz on his bass so it kicked the heaviness up a good notch

I smoke tremendous amounts of weed. I take heroin daily and I overdose every night and take narcan to come out of it. I lick paint and soot off of the ground and puke it up and wear it on my shirt.

Seriously though, it's wonderful to be able to come clean and admit that you don't need drugs to like music. And heck -- we've all learned something along the way, I think. (I do still have "purist" (lmao) friends in the scene though who think that you've got to be a hardcore smoker to play/listen/etc to SDS, which suggests that the music isn't good enough to stand on its own without the altered state that is provided. There are some bands whose music you've got to be stoned to enjoy IMO though)
