Colour Haze is officially the greatest band ever, seriously.

[lizard]

sure, you'll be totally gay, but you'll be a gay individual.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I haven't heard colour haze yet, but I'm pretty sure that it's stoner stuff that I wouldn't really get into.

I should probably listen though just to make sure.

 

[lizard]

I'm pretty sure some of the new Tempel album is odes to shrubberies but I could be mistaken.

 

[Chromatose]

you'd probably be surprised. edit: @moose


and it's got a lot more going for it than typical "stoner" riffs or whateva your interpretation of said genre amounts to.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Sample Colour Haze Lyrics

Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver

So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Agalloch to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

These are the words
Mistah Haughm, keep on tellin' me
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)

If you are the big shrub, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

(To cut you down)

(To cut you down)

These are the words
Of Mistah Haughm, tellin' me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever receiveth a wooden box
shall receive a bone, oh yeah
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)

If you are the big, big shrub
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big shrub, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened ...

 

[Chromatose]

haughm lolz

 

[Krilons Resa]

to simply Colour Haze "stoner" is a great injustice.

 

[swizzlenuts]

It is... It's hard to even describe their music to other people...because it isn't like any other stoner rock bands.

 

[lizard]

true

the interplay between the musicians is great, but I have something of a jamband background so of course I'd appreciate that.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I don't think I can consider them a jam band, but they have a jam band vibe their music is alway coherent, and seems to stay together, kind of like post-rock stuff.

 

[Krilons Resa]

more jammy than postrock...but i dont like where this convo will be 5 more posts down the thread, so lets leave this discussion alone. lol

 

[lizard]

they rock too hard to be a jam band per se, but they definitely have that early 70s vibe for when jamming was a virtue. You can follow each of the three musicians as they weave around each other.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

LOL, Iofthestorm would have a fit if he saw you guys mentioning the words "stoner" and "Post-rock" in context to Colour Haze

 

[Chromatose]

yes, the biggest influence is apparantly 70s. They take a lot from their krautrocking forefathers, which is in part why you hear that "jamband" sound in there, among the other recent scenes that are taking cues from there.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I have a hard time describing non metal bands.... basically because I listen to so much metal.

[Ellestin]

Let's sum it up by saying that, founded 40 years ago, Colour Haze would have had Jimmi Hendrix fronting them at some point.
