Stoner/Doom Metal

[metal_wrath]

What does everybody think of Stoner Doom Metal, I have been listening to some bands like Witchcraft, Spiritual Beggars, Bleak Crowd, Daredevil...

 

[Blinded By Blood]

I've liked High on Fire since I first started getting into metal

I like shit that Isis puts out, but alot of stoner doom sounds painfully generic

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

doom doom Doom Doom DOOM DOOM!!! rules.

I agree some music labeled as 'stoner doom' can be generic, but I would recommend Witchcraft as it is a truly unique band, as well as Electric Wizard which are more of a Sludge/Doom/Stoner band...

What does Stoner sound like... never heard of a genre called stoner before. Probably because I never exit the metal genre again.

While I do enjoy Witchcraft a whole lot, I'd hardly call a fiercely 70s influenced retro doom band 'unique'.

Stoner is usually slow doom that is groovy and is uses heavy psychadelic styled riffs and monotonous vocals. Most of it would probably be categorized as metal.

In Flames

 

[Blue_Jay]

Wow if it sounds like In Flames I'm gonna love stoner doom metal.

I understand what you mean, but I think it would be hard to place this band in any category or to compare them to any one band in particular or point out any similar modern bands

 

[dill_the_devil]

I agree with you about 'similar modern bands' - as for category though, I'd say '70s influenced retro doom' pretty much nails it.

 

[LivingCadaver]

JUST LISTEN TO MOTHERFUCKING KYUSS YOU FOOLSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

KYUSS
KYUSS
AND KYUSS!

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Cathedral, Electric Wizard I usually stop though. I do enjoy funeral and traditional Doom very much.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Sleep, Trouble, Grief, Rwake - all bands that all should hear.

 

[skeptik]

This should be in The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like.

Anyway, for those into bands along the lines of Witchcraft, I am obliged to highly recommend Burning Saviours.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Monster Magnet. :Smug:

 

[ResistExistence]

Not too big on Stoner Doom but I like a few bands:

Electric Wizard
Cathedral
Kyuss

I'm not that big on Doom in general but if anything, I like Drone Doom and Funeral Doom better.

 

[Mort Divine]

Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Sleep, Trouble, Grief, Rwake - all bands that all should hear.

Grief is sludge not stoner

 

[Skepticism]

Dopesmoker by Sleep and Dopethrone by Electric Wizard are fucking awesome.

 

[Carcassian]

Dopesmoker by Sleep and Dopethrone by Electric Wizard are fucking awesome.

Yes.

So is Sleep - Sleeps holy mountain.
