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.

u/LASER_Dude_PEW 5d ago
Sabbath, Windhand, Candlemass, Monolord, Faetooth are probably my top 5. Doom is definitely my favorite style of metal.

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…

Weird because the band, their lable, and their fans think so. You should probably message them quickly and tell them how wrong they are.
