Spiritual Beggars

[J.]

I'm totally loving these guys. Forget Arch Enema. Spiritual Beggars is easily Mike Amott's best project/band. This shit totally rawks! With the warm weather outside, and all the green grass and trees around me, this stuff totally fits the mood. Gawd I love spring and summer, so much better than winter.

I haven't given Mantra III and the s/t many listens, but Ad Astra and On Fire are great spring/summer music. My favorite song so far has got to be Until the Morning from Ad Astra, and Escaping the Fools rocks hard as well.

I don't even know what to call this stuff. It's sorta retro stoner groove metal. The keyboards give it a 70's vibe, and I'm diggin' on that.

I need to check out Mushroom River Band, because Spice rawks. And how can anyone not love JB from Grand Magus singing on On Fire.

Can't wait till Another Way to Shine shows up. Who else digs these guys?

Oh yes they are GODS. "Ad Astra" is probably the best 00S album. Check my other thread now

 

[J.]

00S?

yay, another SB thread.

EDIT: oh OK, 00S=the 2000's

 

[J.]

oh, and I'm sure I've asked before, but there's no search function.

is Mushroom River Band as rockin' as SB?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

yep. "Music For The World Beyond" that is. Its sound is very beggarish

 

[J.]

awesome. the current weather is so perfect for this kinda music.

Amott needs to give up Arch ENemy and tour the states with SB. that would rule.

 

[Captain Beard]

I likes the SB ladies.

 

[J.]

they are hawt.

I stepped into this thread to tell you exactly that. MRB is significantly better than Spiritual Beggars.

Haha, no fucking way. They cant be even compared anyway

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Wow, I didn't even know Mike Amott was in Spiritual Beggars. Rock on!

 

[J.]

yep, much better than that band with the chick singer

 

[Demilich]

thanks to this thread I broke out my Spiritual Beggars s/t cd and IT FUCKING ROCKED!

 

[J.]

I haven't given that one many spins, but I plan to. I've been stuck on Ad Astra, along with some Orange Goblin.
