NoRhino Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I went to see sunn O))) in Glasgow last month. Saw hee haw ( it's a Scottish expression) and left after an hour. They seemed to be playing the same piece over two chords. This was all we were treated to visually. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjeKtWEREWOLF Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I absolutely love Doom. Almost as much as I love Black Metal. The new Bongripper LP is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of smoke and even less chords than Status Quo. I'm not sure they're really doom, it's more like experimental soundscape type stuff.

Loads of smoke and even less chords than Status Quo. I'm not sure they're really doom, it's more like experimental soundscape type stuff. Worked on a metal festival in 2005 lasting three or four days - they played on the last day. Drunk and wrecked people were lying everywhere so we thought excessive use of smoke cannons was a bad idea and turned them off to prevent people get trampled over. The room was filled with smoke when the decision was made and it made for an interesting half hour at work. To their credit they were loud enough to make most people pinch their eyes anyway so no smoke was really needed . Man they were loud. Which reminds me of an anekdote: A friend did lights at a Motorhead show and asked their sound engineer if they were always this loud and got told they used to be way louder in a manner that made me laugh: "It wasn't LOUD, it was like -squints eyes and shouts desperatly- YOU COULDN'T SEE!!". For further interesting info , look up the Tensor Tympani muscle which is usually coming into work when people squint their eyes because of noise. I can control it without squinting and probably many here can out of necessity for blocking loud noise/music. It produces a "distant thunder like" sound.

DocTrucker Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 This genre has come into my awareness via an unmentioned group. https://shreddibnah.bandcamp.com/ It appears I have lots of catching up to do! Don't get out to anywhere near enough gigs. Hopefully that'll change as the kids (7 & 3) get a little older. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 @DocTrucker the best life hack for that is to join a doom band. Then you HAVE to go to the gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocTrucker Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 @MichaelDean 😁 I'm in a covers band and trying to drag up my standards while I learn the songs. Fair bit of development to do before I'm doing original stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I just discovered a band called Green Druid (which I’m assuming is a play on Orange Goblin). Really enjoying this album: Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) hey! managed to get myself in a band with some people at uni, does anyone have any cheaper amp recommendations, ideally on the lighter side. ive got an old sound city b120 i found broken and fixed up, but i dont think its really loud enough and its about 25kg to lug around if we can get gigs in the future. the orange stuff (ob1 500 or terror bass) is interesting but on the expensive side, ive also seen alot of cheaper peavey stuff, seems theres a few peavey tour 700s around anyone have any experience with those? ill give the sound city a go at practice this weekend see if it competes, guitarist has an orange super crush head that was pretty loud and he only had it halfway up and the warwick head the rehearsal space had was struggling to keep up. thanks!

I'm surprised to hear that you don't find this head to be 'loud'. In good state, they are often used to explode ex-nazi coastline bunkers with sonic power. It won't work well with small 1x10 cabs, but given a 4x12 stack, or 2x15, it'll remove all the glass from your house, and the neighbours. What cab are you using..? All this depends, of course, of it being in its original (or correctly upgraded...) specification, original 'Partridge' transformers, and six matched output valves. In full swing, it would melt the Orange Super Crush. There's no comparaison with Peavey amps, either. If it's not loud, get it fixed, and stand far enough back when you turn it on afterwards. Yes, they are heavy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use a Terror 500 for Doom. Its a high gain amp but the distorted sound out of it is bloody awful. I'd always go with Ashdown, they work very well and are indestructible. The sound city head may do the job, give it a try with a big cab. The best setup I had was an Ashdown ABM600 in to an Orange OBC410 cab with a Darkglass B3K and Two Notes Le Bass for dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using an Ashdown ABM 600, but I've moved on to a Laney Digbeth 500. Lighter, looks cooler, sounds darker. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 thanks all, ill hold off on going for anything soon, id really like to try keep spending under 250 or so, sounds like the laney digbeth or an ashdown abm600 are a decent bet to go for and i think ive seen those ashdowns pretty reasonably priced before so ill keep an eye out. definetely see how my sound city goes over the weekend through the 4x10 at the rehearsal space and maybe ill just keep running that, my only fear is it crapping out but i guess cross that bridge when i come to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 gave it a go today, it goes alot louder than i thought... definetely loud enough! though something lighter would still be good but ill definitely hold off on something new for the moment 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely amazing. Just such a massive feeling listening to it. Even my Ex who absolutely detests heavy music actually genuinely likes YOB. In other news, I am very disappointed with the new Swallow The Sun Album. A let down. It's very tame and paint by numbers... 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
