Good stuff! Didn't hear much UJR Scorpions in there though, which I would've really liked to...

Hey!


I'm looking for a band that sounds closest to those two vids played together (adjusting the volume so as to to balance levels).

Hint: Three Monks albums don't qualify as they don't really merge organ tapestries into slow overwhelming stoner impulse




Anyway I wish you'll have as great a time listening to those two vids as I do !!...

Maligno, a doom band from Mexico that I like, has recently put up a new song from their upcoming fourth album:

https://www.facebook.com/malignodoom/posts/10153195081199821

I don't know what to make of it. The guitar style is very different then what was representative of their previous three albums. Example:


The songs from their old albums tend to rely a lot on groove, which is a lot different from the new one. The reason for the difference is obvious. The first three albums all had the same line-up, including guitarists Zef Vega and Ivan Tamez. This new one has neither, but a new guy named either Dave Coral or David Cordero (depending on whether you want to go by their facebook page or by MA).

This new song is a lot more energetic than I'm used to from these guys, which is fine, but the riffs generally feel pretty generic. Often it's like something I would've come up with myself, had riff influences stayed nobody but Iommi, Paige, and Hetfield, and also while I didn't have much experience, and not coming up with great stuff. On the plus side in regards to the guitars: I do like the riff that comes in at about 2:35-2:40, the solo was good, and actually a lot more what I like compared to the solos from the old guitarists. And, as some of you may remember (or not), I posted in this thread some time ago asking for doom bands that put high pitched guitar notes (such as unison bends) in outside of the soloing, as Iommi did a lot in Sabbath's early days. Well, there is that in this song.

Other than the guitars, I liked the production of the song, and I really liked the singing and the drums, both of which are things I never found at all noteworthy on any of their former albums. So that's good. So the only thing that's worrying me are the guitar riffs, but that's such a huge part of old school doom, it could really make or break the album.

^ It doesn't sound much different from their previous stuff. Just a lot more stoner and Hispanic.

Can anyone recommend me something like this, doom/stoner/sludge/shoegaze/whatever

^ The latest output from Lantlos, Melting Sun which is one of my favourite releases of last year has a definite psychedelic sludge/doom-gaze sort of atmosphere throughout although it's way more uplifting and kaleidoscopic than depressing. Although I've came across King Woman's album premiere on Invisible Oranges I didn't give it a try but based on the song you've posted it's quite similar to latest Lantlos (minus the exaggerated female vocals which is unfortunately not my cup of tea).







Otherwise, Jesu (side project of Justin K. Broadrick of Godflesh) is an obvious candidate.

Familiar with both bands. Not looking for this type of soft clean male vocals. Also I'd prefer something a bit more hazy. I like both bands but I was thinking about something noisier and heavier preferably with a more desperate sounding vocals

Maybe the underrated psychedelic noise/doom wizards Suma from Sweden? Not exactly what you're looking for but they have this sort of hallucinatory ambient/psychedelic leanings cooked up with noise-driven doom/sludge.

what are some bands with a very very very similar instrumental style but a different kind of voice? (I'm not sure what different I want so just drop any kind of different voice, no Ozzy voice style though) - any kind of metal genre not just this thread related ones

You mean considerably faster, thrashier stoner/doom? Well, check out the followings:

High on Fire





Down





Corrosion of Conformity. Blind - Wiseblood era.





Horn of the Rhino




Trouble. Upto the 1990 s/t album. Less stoner than the previous lot but they began to incorporate more stoner and psychedelic elements in their later releases.






Dream Death. No stoner here either. Early Celtic Frost inspired doom/death/thrash. A direct influence to Cathedral's early sound as well.

Not sure what I was hearing the first time around, maybe it just sounded weird after Aktor, but Crypt Sermon seems to rule. I didn't quite get to spin the whole thing on the way into work this morning but I was getting into it. It kinda sounds like Candlemass fronted by Dio.

OH YEY thank you so much for so much suggestions

Does Horn of The Rhino have some songs which sound like the one you suggested but the vocals aren't in the background (if you get what I mean)

and Does Dream Death have more songs like the one suggested but that don't sound old?

p.s. always open for more suggestions so keep 'em coming if you know more

oh yey

Yea, Dream Death released the follow up to their classic debut a couple of years back. It has a much more contemporary production.






Didn't quite get what you mean by that, are you trying to say that the vocals are kinda buried in the overall mix?

I like their sound. Vocals will need a little getting used to but I like the droney compositions.

Oh well the older Dream Death song sounds much better, guess it takes a little getting used to and old sound will be better


As for Rhino, I have no idea lol but let's go with what you said

@projectfear22 You might enjoy Triptykon. They fit quite well within your preferences. Of course if you're not familiar with Tom G. Warrior and his ventures already you might want to give it a shot.



Horn of the Rhino's slower, more dense songs feature entirely clean singing, if that's what you were really trying to say but those songs are mostly slower and sludgy throughout quite similar to early Soundgarden (Louder than Love), especially Javier's vocals. Here's a sample:

Triptykon is a no for me
And that song by Horn of The Rhino sounds so amazing but I wanted something where the vocals aren't under the instrumentals, it (on the first song) kinda sounds like the vocalist is singing from a hole or it's an echo rather than a real voice. Though I'm starting to like it now, but keep suggesting pls xD

^ Are you writing Triptykon off based on just one song? I thought their faster more thrashier tunes would satisfy your tastebuds, hmm...peculiar.

Nah not writing them off but just saying the particular song is a no, "I thought their faster more thrashier tunes would satisfy your tastebuds" well you suggest and I pick, it's not like I can listen to any song just cause of the speed so far everything was excellent

I just heard this stoner metal band Bionic Cavemen play when I went to go see Valkyrie tonight. I thought they seemed like something Metantoine might like. I think they were playing a lot of new stuff because the whole set sounded more like the tracks "Pig Blood", "The 77" and "Hide" then anything else on this album.
https://bioniccavemen.bandcamp.com/album/predator

They weren't listed in the archives yet so I submitted them.

^ Not even close to being (stoner) metal. Bluesy hard rock, more like. Pretty decent though.

Well they may be changing musical direction. because what I heard live sounded to me like southern rock/stoner metal. I still think a few of those tracks on the album sound metal-ish.

Pretty cool but I don't think it's metal either, I mean Kadavar are heavier. Pretty jealous you saw Valkyrie though, Shadows is an awesome record.

You would have really enjoyed the show then, they played everything off Shadows plus a few from the other albums. I actually would have preferred some more stuff from Man Of Two Visions but other then that no complaints it was a great show.

Wytchcrypt I'm really fond !

Finally, something new from Australia's Zodiac. This time a cassette EP through Heavy Chains Records. Great trad doom, perhaps falling more into the epic category than before.

Another new song from the upcoming Maligno album. Pretty good.

New doom from:

New tracks from Magic Circle's upcoming album "Journey Blind":



Some previews from Lee Dorrian's new project With the Dead:


Pretty excited for both, MC's first track is way catchier than their first album and the 2nd is more in line with it.

Album art of the year? Also, one of the best doom of the year!

Guys I'm looking for some sludge/doom similar to Nile - Eat of the Dead. I know that isn't exactly doom, but I really want to hear something with that "bendy" riff style that is so prevalent on that song. So basically any bands you can think of who utilize super slow tremolo riffs or heavy bending. Also, the more dirty the better (I realize Nile guitar tone is very clean) , super nasty guitar tone and all.

Eat of the Dead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXetSYjZ5Vg

That riff at 2:50..... anything like that.

Cool singing and epic riffs! 'Slaying Apophis' for some reason reminds me of the Dark Tower books.

Crypt Sermon rule. The first time I played it I just couldn't get into it for some reason, maybe going from faster stuff to that hurt me. They definitely love some Candlemass but I don't think they have the same commitment to destroying you with riffs. They get their atmosphere workin'. I think everyone's favorite is Into the Holy of Holies and I can't really deny that tune. I love The Master's Bouquet for some reason though.

I'm glad it not only clicked but has become something I'm really into.

I liked Crypt Sermon and I gave them a positive review but they have the Sorcerer symptom, aka "epic doom influenced only by Candlemass and Solitude Aeternus" and I doubt I'll go back to the album when I'm in dire need of doom, bands like the two I posted above (Magic Circle, Magister Templi) are more original while still keeping it trad doom, ya dig?

I tend to agree about Crypt Sermon. I got kind of caught up in the hype and liked the first go, but once the fever broke, I didn't really return to them.

And dope as fuck Magister Templi art for sure. .. though I wish the band/album name were handled better. I shrug.

Thankfully it's been the exact opposite for me with Crypt Sermon. I went in with huge expectations and was initially let down. Shelved it for a few weeks and came back to it fresh, ended up really loving it.

I need to check out the Circle bands. Magic and Funeral. I've been waiting on Funeral Circle until they put out an EP or LP or something with JP that I can sink my teeth into.

I've come across their debut previously but didn't check it out. The artwork seems cool but "Slaying Apophis" kind of sounds mediocre to me although the approach is certainly interesting, early Trouble, MF and the vocals sound like a more dynamic Bobby Liebling. I don't think it can rival the songwriting prowess of Out of the Garden for epic doom release of the year, let alone doom.

Pretty keen to see how this With The Dead thing works out

Oh yea, definitely looking forward to WtD. I think it's gonna be somewhere between early/later Celtic Frost/Triptykon and Cathedral.

If it sounds similar to Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine, Ramesses or Electric Wizard I'll be very happy.

Sounds like Cathedral but way more stoner. It will be excellent, Lee for the win.
