Stoner/Doom Metal

[Mort Divine]

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

Check out Bongripper - The Great Barrier Reefer. Even longer than Dopesmoker

Grief is sludge not stoner

Fair enough - always thought the too were faaaaiiiirrrlly interchangeable for the most part though.

 

[AlphaTemplar]

In Flames

What the fuck are you smoking? In Flames sounds NOTHING like stoner metal.

 

[ohiogrinder]

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

haha actually stoner shit is shit like Sleep and The Melvins. if you like fuzzed out guitars playing at a crawl's pace, then you'll like stoner doom.

I actually have that album, a guy on another forum I go on play in that band.

 

[ResistExistence]

Damn, I totally forgot about The Melvins. Is Swans considered Stoner metal?

 

[Skepticism]

I dont think Swans are stoner, but their early releases sound pretty doomy to me. The Swans kick ass though.

they are indeed different, but share a similar aesthetic.

both are slow and dirgey, but usual stoner metal is more upbeat, both soundwise and lyrically.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Spiritual Beggars is one of the best bands of the 00s and "Ad Astra" the best 00s album imo. Witchcraft are fantastic and absolutely unique indeed.

 

[skeptik]

Witchcraft is hardly unique. :zombie:

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Pff, they are.. for various reasons, mainly because noone does what they do.

 

[skeptik]

They're about as unique as taking the Mona Lisa and touching it up a bit with your own little flourishes.

don't forget Southern Lord!!

 

[Todd Jaymz]

Southern Lord does have alot of cool bands, I thought they carried more Sludge than anything?

 

[skeptik]

They're focusing on shitty black metal and drone doom now.

Swans are not in any way a metal band (so they aren't "stoner" or "doom" either). Just... no. Not even remotely close. They started out as noise/industrial and later went into dark experimental rock/folk or whatever you want to categorize it as.

And they're just called Swans and not "The Swans".

(unless you guys were just talking about a completely different band but I cannot find any that would fit that description)

 

[Todd Jaymz]

What bands are on those labels?? Anything cool??
