Hey One Inch Man (sludge/doom content)

[matt99_crew]

I just reviewed the debut from The Mighty Nimbus, a band with members of Alabama Thunderpussy and Sixty Watt Shaman. Album starts with some pretty solid southern-fried metal and then devolves into sludgey doom. The vocals are exceptional and completely fitting for the genre. Not an outstanding album, but damn fine.

If you want more info, you know where to look. I feel bad about littering the RC board w/ links to another site.

Go right ahead, you're a regular.

Sounds awesome, I'll check it out.

As far as I'm concerned any and all regulars are free to post links to any of their reviews, projects, artwork, articles, suggestions, pornography, family photo albums, private pepper collections, and anything else. I'm pretty sure JayKeeley, RC's Unquestioned Lord and Master, agrees.

EDIT: See? He does! in your presence, O Frightful One!

Thanks guys.
Interested to hear others' opinions of this album. I don't think mp3s are available but their website plays a clip when you visit.

Nice review there, really dig the whiskey analogy (surprise surprise).

I've been looking forward to summer so much because even though all winter I've been listening to primarily stoner/doom/sludge/etc., this kind of music doesn't truly take effect until the heat kicks in. It's midnight and still 80 degrees outside and sweat is induced just by sitting around doing nothing, but it feels good because Eyehategod is blasting your eardrums.

EDIT: Oh and that reminds me, I gave Down II a few more whirls a few weeks ago, I really dig that album now. Not as good as the first, but still pretty awesome. I'll need to adjust my review when the time comes to re-launch RC.

 

[matt99_crew]

Haha, ain't that the truth.

 

[matt99_crew]

I REALLY like Down II. Maybe not as much as the first one, but I really believe that album is seriously underappreciated. God I wish Anselmo would drop Superjoint and do some more Down stuff.

 

[NAD]

No shit man. I can appreciate Phil doing some crazy music, but Superjoint just isn't good. He needs a band with that southern edge, and Down was always a great complement to Pantera (even though both definitely had a southern groove, Down's was more deliberate).

For those hot summers, may I suggest 5ive (AKA 5ive's Continuum Research Project). Just one dude on guitar and one dude on drums playing groovy stoner sludge.

And their one EP is a drone lovers dream.

Oh yeah, 99% instrumental.

I'll need to adjust my review when the time comes to re-launch RC.

Any news on how the update's coming along?

You'd have to ask JayKeeley and Erik since they are handling the majority of the headaches on this, I'm just having to shuffle through my own reviews to see which ones to keep, tweak, or scrap.

I just received the mighty nimbus to review, and after a spin, I am really diggin it. If you liked 60 watt at all, you will love it...
