My regular tattooist used to babysit a funeral band for a record label and described them as a dull as f##k bunch of miserable c@@ts who wouldn't even crack a smile when she persuaded them to try ecstasy. Apparently straight edge punks were more fun to be around. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 To be fair, I'm not entirely sure that MDMA would be the drug of choice for any Doom/Funeral band. Quote
SteveXFR Posted February 21, 2021 Author Posted February 21, 2021 Not usually no, super strength weed is their preferred drug. Quote
Dapper Bandit Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah, not sure I'd pair off funeral doomers and eccies! And as I'm on the thread again, some more bands come to mind Evoken; funereal death doom heavy hitters, slow as a slow thing Mourning Beloveth; A Disease For The Ages is a crushing disc. Heavy and melodic but not in a twee gothic kind of way. Pelican; have Pelican been mentioned? They were very, very good. The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw received a lot of playtime back in the day, cinematic metal for sure Warhorse; As Heavens Turn to Ash was a banger. Crucial release! Corrupted; glacial, elephantine sludge from Japan. Asva; arty drone/minimalism featuring Trey Spruance! Lovely, heavy, interesting. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Trey Spruance? As in Mr Bungle/Faith No More? That's an odder combo than Doom and Ecstacy! 🤣 Quote
Dapper Bandit Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 The very same! A wonderfully odd lineup that confounds expecation. The interesting and not disappointing version of Shrinebuilder. Quote
MacDaddy Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Has anyone heard of my friends band 'Undersmile' ? They did quite well within the scene. Good reviews in Terrorizer etc. Quote
SteveXFR Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 I've been trying to work out the bass part for GNT by Pigsx7 this evening. It shouldn't be difficult but for some reason I just can't get it. Is there something a bit weird about it or am I an idiot or both. https://youtu.be/HkcwgI-l2aw Quote

Expand I saw Corrosion of Conformity live once and Pepper Keenan admitted on stage to smoking the devil's lettuce. Myself and several others formed a prayer circle in front of the stage to pray for his soul and his recovery from the terrible addiction. I say prayer circle, it might have been a circle pit. Quote
Killed_by_Death Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Doom Metal is basically just original Heavy Metal, but since we have all these sub-genres now... bass & drums (that's all): Quote
thodrik Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 My band have made it into ‘The Doom Charts’ with our new album. One spot behind Cult of Luna so I will take that, though we are admittedly not very doomy. https://doomcharts.com/2021/03/01/doom-charts-february-2021/ 3 Quote

Later their cover would appear on the Nativity in Black tribute album: CoC were so great I came back to see them again the next night, $12 USD at the door At the time I thought two-nights-in-a-row was some sort of standard for the Whisky a Go-Go, but alas it was the last time I'd see the same band two nights in a row. Earlier that same month I saw Lita Ford twice there, on my first two nights in L.A.

SumOne Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 As the seasons turn gloomier my music taste seems to follow suit. Can't go far wrong with Electric Wizard to kickstart the doomy part of the year! 2 1 Quote
SteveXFR Posted September 20, 2021 Author Posted September 20, 2021 I do like a bit of Electric Wizard. Today I'm enjoying some YOB 4 Quote

Haven’t seen Monolord mentioned yet, new album on the way in October. Big Sabbs vibes from their new single, can only be a good thing! Quote
