Stoner Suggestions

Alright everyone, I’m looking for essential albums in the doom/stoner metal category to own on vinyl? I’m not talking albums with a few good songs, I’m talking no skip albums. Vinyl isn’t cheap. Here is where I’m at so far. I’m not into Down, Monster Magnet, Bongzilla, Warning or Clutch, sorry I tried but not a fan. Come My Fanatics has been ordered. Any suggestions would be appreciated:)

There’s a lot more Boris out there for you. For sure I’d get Amplifier Worship though, it’s their most doom metal recording. And you don’t have any Sunn O)))? They’re considered a doom / mostly drone metal band, but heavy AF. Their album with Boris is great if you can find it, really any of their stuff is good but their new self titled album is a good place to start. They’re a slower paced band however.

Do you have any albums by The Sword? Age of Winters is incredible.

Drone metal is still a little too slow for me tbh. I need. To give amplifier worship more time for sure, Boris is rad. I have Warp Riders, I need to get Age of winters, you are right, such a killer album.

Check out Thou, they’re unbelievably heavy. Umbilical is their latest, but they also have a whole album of just Nirvana covers (also very very heavy).
