Bands like Down

[Jono]

I realy realy love Down. They are up there with Thrax and saint. Are there any other bands similar to Down. I especially like the song "where I'm Going" on Down II. Are there any bands that have slow songs like that... aside from Pride and Glory. any bands old or new.
thanks guys

COC

metal comes in all different forms, some bands i guess are, the classics like sabbath, ozzy, maiden, preist. Not the fastest but defintly metal. but as for modern bands i cant think of many.

I would say check out Amorphis, Cathedral. Opath or maybe Morgion.
Get the Amorphis album Tounella first then Tales from a Thousand lakes.

I like amorphis and cathedral but I can't see how either of them sound anything like Down. COC is a good suggestion I also think I should give black label society a try, and look for some other southern metal bands

High On Fire (whom i saw with Superjoint Ritual Tues. night) are what I would call a more aggressive and less personal Down. By the way, the vocals are in the vain of Tom G Warrior, in case you're not into that sort of thing.

In fact, they cover Celtic Frost's "The Usurper" and at the show they closed up with Venom's "The Witching Hour". I really recommend seeing these guys and getting their albums. Somewhat impressive.

COC, Fu Manchu, Clutch, BLS, these are real good places to look for something similar to Down. Clutch's self titled record from 1995 is a classic, bona fide. COC has several great ones. I'm less familiar w/ BLS and Fu Manchu, but that have that sonic groove thing going on.

Its not that they sound the same but have a "feel" or an ambiance to them and yeah the Fu Manchu is a good call. I saw a band called Halfway To Gone open for Nashville Pussy that has a really hard,groove, southern, swamp rock vibe to it. check em out if you can. Soilent Green would be another one you might like. (not the movie the band ) but the movies not bad either.

 

[Madkill]

Dig in the past and check The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Pentagram ... then to the present and check Sleep, Spirit Caravan, COC.

I'm going to make a list, KYUSS is one of my favorites along with soilent green. "DO YOU THINK YOUR PROBLEMS...MEAN SHIT?!?!?"
yeah anyway. Goatwhore is good too but thats basically soilent green. thanks guys.
