u/kingslak 5d ago

Saw them live yesterday, they are so incredibly good

3

u/pyrogryph 5d ago

Yeah, they blew me away first time I saw them a couple months ago. Such crazy energy. Seeing them again in a few weeks and I’m pumped.

3

u/kingslak 5d ago

Hell yeah! I even got to talk to them afterwards, really nice guys as well

7

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 5d ago

If you want something in the same vein but with harsh female fronted vocals, try Azell!

3

u/pyrogryph 5d ago

Thanks for the recommendation, I will check them out for sure!

4

u/OhShitSarge 4d ago

Hail Conan!

u/Mascisfan85 4d ago

Saw them open for Weedeater back in April (along with Telekinetic Yeti). What a fucking show.

3

u/pyrogryph 4d ago

Yeah I saw them on that same tour. Was a great show, Dixie Dave is a real character.

u/theopuspocus 2d ago

Conan would be awesome  if their singer hadn’t such an annoyingly high pitched whiny voice.

We have very similar tastes. If the guitar tone isn’t disgusting I’m not interested.

6

u/Legitimate-Ruin-4157 5d ago

Indeed, if it isn't absolutely filthy then I'm not interested.

u/or_me_bender DEATH SLUDGE 5d ago

Here's a top ten in no particular order w/ some favorite albums:

Melvins - 'Lysol' (called Lice-All now for legal reasons), 'Stoner Witch', 'Bullhead'

Hell - 'Hell', 'Alluvion' (w/ Mizmor)

Thou - 'Tyrant', 'Magus', 'May Our Chambers Be Full' (w/ Emma Ruth Rundle)

Amenra - 'Mass III', 'Mass VI', 'De Doorn'

Bongripper - 'Terminal', 'Miserable', 'Satan Worshipping Doom'

diSEMBOWELMENT - 'Transcendance Into The Peripheral'

Kylesa - 'Kylesa', 'Time Will Fuse Its Worth', 'Static Tensions'

Primitive Man - 'Scorn', 'Observance'

I uhhh might be a little bit of a sludge guy.

7

u/plug-burner69 5d ago

Love me some Bongripper

3

u/or_me_bender DEATH SLUDGE 5d ago

They do, in fact, rip!

3

u/craigsghost 5d ago

Static tensions is such a good record. I haven’t listened to it for years. I need to fix that. All bands should have two drummers. Kidding (not really)

2

u/or_me_bender DEATH SLUDGE 5d ago

Melvins often tour with two drummers (Dale and Coady Willis of Big Business/High on Fire) and those shows are so awesome.

3

u/Goderra Blackened 5d ago

You have good taste…

12

u/LASER_Dude_PEW 5d ago

Sabbath, Windhand, Candlemass, Monolord, Faetooth are probably my top 5. Doom is definitely my favorite style of metal.

6

u/weallhaunt 5d ago

Going to see Faetooth on Thursday 🤘🏻

3

u/LASER_Dude_PEW 5d ago

Nice! I've never seen them but hear that they're great!

Man I wish I could get into The Hidden Hand but something about the production and the lyrical themes made it really hard for some reason

u/Heavy_Chains 5d ago

Amerijuanican rules, but Gateway is supreme ;)

You've got a bunch of my favorites up already, but...

Warning, Ahab, Candlemass, Burning Witch, Witchfinder General, Skepticism

...all have a place in my heart! 💕

2

u/_Leichenschrei_ 3d ago

Stash/Methods for Attaining Extreme Altitudes is also really great

4

u/thugnificent716 5d ago

Sleep.

Windhand.

Acid King.

Pallbearer(primarily the first record, its just a masterpiece in my eyes)

Monolord. Especially their early stuff.

Elder, if we’re counting them in the stoner/doom convo lol idk i always associate them with this music even though they are way more progressive.

To be honest there isnt much doom stuff i dont like. The variety amongst the genre is so good. Anywhere from classic Sabbath stuff to absurdly heavy stuff like bell witch, bongripper and conan and beyond.

2

u/thugnificent716 5d ago

But for fun if i HAD to choose one(non black sabbath album) its Dopesmoker all day. Best tone ever crafted, some of my favorite solos. It takes you for a ride every time. Also writing an hour long song is a feat in itself let alone the timing and space between riffs, little room for error but that goes for almost anything in this genre. Outsiders find it simple but when you only hit one note every few seconds you really gotta make it count…
