recommend me an album similar to Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

[J.]

The closest i'll go is CHurch of Misery's "Master of Brutality", which absolutely owns EW as well as the entire SOuthern Lord contingent. The EW albums I heard were lame.

(and I'm still trying to figure out why people like that Warhorse album)

 

[Nate The Great]

Don't bother with 'We Live'. It pretty much sucks. Its not the same EW line-up as on their others. Come My Fanatics and Let Us Prey are both as good as Dopethrone.

You might look into Deadbird.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Nothing to do with EW, but it is a good disc. Traditional Doom. Their later albums suck.

Yeah, I realized that Abdullah really is not much at all like EW, but as you said, fuck it! The disc rules!

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hell yea.

 

[neal]

i agree with Bongzilla and Burried At Sea. especially Bongzilla. check out Reverend Bizzare tracks the wandering jew and strange horizons, you should like those. also Sleep - Dopesmoker is pretty cool. kind of an endurence test, but you listen to that sunn 0)))))))))) business so im sure you can handle it.

 

[Chromatose]

yeah I'd say sleep - dopesmoker should be the very first album to go for if not heard already ..........

 

[Krilons Resa]

Make sure you buy a bag of weed and crank up the speakers as well if you go for Dopesmoker.

 

[NAD]

okay i think sleep is my next step. thanks nukklahz.

ps: and i'm sorta tired right now LOLLERCAUST

 

[NAD]

"Meticulously composed in the style of Gregorian chants as interpreted through the ears of Black Sabbath, "Dopesmoker" esoterically describes -- get this -- the "Weedian" people's pilgrimage to the "riff-filled land.""

SOLD.

 

[Eminor]

Sleep's Holy Mountain > Dopesmoker

 

[NAD]

oh sure now you confuse me!!!

what about high on fire? i guess one of the dudes from sleep formed them later? buh?

 

[Chromatose]

high on fire sucks (exaggerating for purposes of recommendation)

THE post-sleep band to check out is OM



on the whole holy mountain vs dopesmoker thing

on one hand, holy mountain >> dopesmoker

on the other hand, dopesmoker >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> holy mountain

 

[Eminor]

Dopesmoker is good, but it’s so damn long and repetitive that it’s kinda hard to listen to sometimes. Holy Mountain is more song based (and more kick ass based). I really dig all three of High on Fire’s albums, but it’s kind of like doom meets Motorhead. To me, that’s a good thing, but they’re kind of a square peg. I can put up a song or two on you send it, if you’d like.
And I agree w/ Chromatose, Om's Variation on a Theme is a very cool album.

precisely the reason why I think the nadster would jizz all over it

 

[Eminor]

Could be. It's an album worth owning. Do you like Ramesses?

Variations on a Theme... another album i should get before the year ends!


P.S. Just got Sleep - Jerusalem last night and it's very cool, surprised how different it sounds compared to Holy Mountain.

 

[Chromatose]

om mountain

ok it's not funny anymore since my misquoted quote is no longer there

 

[NAD]

ramesses rule.

 

[NAD]

Okay so I've kicked back my legs and polluted my britches with delight over Dopesmoker 3 times so far tonight, and I just got the damn album today. This shit totally smokes, jesus.

Holy Mountain you say? Okay USA.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Holy Mountain also rules. Dragonaut completley oozes stoner hippy vibes.
