stoner metal

[destroyer1326]

what are the best stoner metal bands and albums?
:Smokedev:

 

[Doomguy]

In my opinion:

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Bongzilla - Stash
Sleep - Dopesmoker
High on Fire - The Art of Self-Defense
Clutch - Blast Tyrant <-- Not strictly 'Stoner Metal' but shows vague traits of it.
Acid King - Busse Woods
Cathedral - The Ethereal Mirror


Most of these are stoner/doom bands however; I haven't explored pure stoner too much recently.

What the hell is "pure" stoner?

 

[Doomguy]

What the hell is "pure" stoner?

Stoner metal without a fusion with other genres....?

 

[MetalRiffa]

Personally i have never really understood what stoner metal is. Is it more just focused on the lyric content etc or is it actually defined by the music aswell?
BTW I find most metal great to get whacked to!

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Stoner metal without a fusion with other genres....?

Uh...I thought it was a sub-genre of doom to begin with?

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

No it's not. It's a branch off psychedelic music from the 70s.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Are you talking about stoner rock? I always considered stoner metal to just be a combination of the two.

 

[CF87]

ObscureInfinity does not understand influences/genre's. I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that by now.

 

[VelociBrad]

Spiritual Beggars - Ad Astra
Orange Goblin - The Big Black
Blowback - Morning Wood
Eternal Elysium - Spiritualized D
Wo Fat - The Gathering Dark
Lo-Pan - Sasquoanut

Some of my favorite "pure stoner metal" albums.

The Sword and Kylesa are definitely worth mentioning.

 

[ConnorFromHell]

I like:

Electric Wizard
Spiritual Beggars
The Sword

Karma To Burn too, but they're not really that metal.

I reckon Sabbath count too. Planet Caravan, Sweet Leaf, Into The Void, Symptom of the Universe? Fuck yes.

 

[A Journeys End]

Dozer has always been my fav

 

[GamerOfDK]

Electric Wizard and Cathedral, is the only Stoner Metal bands i've ever really listened to, but they're quite good.

 

[lusonius]

Sleep, that's stoner metal. Nothing but stoner.

 

[Doomguy]

Sleep, that's stoner metal. Nothing but stoner.

Um, no. Sleep is stoner/doom. Still good, mind you.

Also, lusonius, do you happen to be a clone of the person above you?

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Sleep, that's stoner metal. Nothing but stoner.

They were originally nothing but doom. Anus.

I'm just listening to Repent by Sahg. Fucking brilliant stoner song.
