Doom, or trancendental rock.

Back to the shoegazing indie rock It's not exactly Burning Witch, but this is my favourite Asva track:


Today, I'm mostly blasting some shamelessly Shabbath-shaped shtoner shludge shounds, courtesy of Churh of Misery. Saw them supporting Cathederal a few months ago, and they were the band of the night:

perhaps my favourite band? so f'n bleak...[/quote]

love Jesu, but that album got boring quick for me. it's a shame, because the first time I heard it I was blown away.

Great Celtic Frost reference, but where the flippin' 'eck is St Vitus in this thread?!

I've always wanted to play this genre. I've been sadly lacking in participants. Sadface.

Shrinebuilder album, amazing. Tons of flavours, loads of great moments, going into the cellar to listen again. 45 RPM vinyl, through a good rig.

I adore Wet Sloths. Has anyone heard them?

Not strictly doom, but definitely trancendental - I've been playing the new Zoroaster album a lot recently - it sounds a lot like this:

Ah, g'wan then, have some doom from back when it was measured in Imperial units named after the man who discovered it (the Iommi) instead of this new-fangled metric stuff (is the SI unit of Doom the Om? The O'Malley? I wasn't paying attention in class):

The cover art for that album is great! (The album's pretty damn good too, although like others have said, it's slightly less than the sum of its parts).

+1 to all of the above.
Apologies if they've been mentioned but you need to include Melvins in there somewhere. They did a lot with Boris, as I recall, though to be honest what y'all REALLY are needing is this:

Hell yes. I saw Sunn O))) in Gateshead last December (playing stuff from Monoliths & Dimensions), and it was the most indescribably intense experience of my musical life. It was like being crushed with sound. Apparently they peaked around 150dB in a reasonably small room. Everything was physically shuddering. Just awesome.

From Wikipedia: "In December 2007 the band performed in Jerusalem. Their performance lasted for over five hours."
Awesome.

Yeah, I saw them in Glasgow on the same tour (with Bong, from your neck of the woods, supporting). The venue slowly filled with smoke beforehand until we could see almost nothing, and we were then subjected to an intense barrage of sound.

I also saw them at Primavera doing the Grimmrobe Demos last summer, but what with it being a festival and my mates not being too into it, I only stuck around for a bit of it. As I said to a mate I ran into on the way out - you can pretty much extrapolate the rest.

I managed to snap this photo, which I think pretty much sums it up:

Bong?! Bloody hell, how did they get that support slot? Never really rated them, but I haven't seen them play for a few years. Must have improved somewhat. Good on 'em!

Same here, saw/heard/felt them at Salford. The most amazingly, and entertainingly, different show I've ever attended. And that includes the bowl of free ear-plugs on the way in.

thats a bit better, Burning Witch is what you need though or Thorrs Hammer

if anyone's new to this game, seek out the Roadburn festival and myspace the bands listed. I've been the last 4 or 5 years in a row. tis the motherlode for this kind of music.

I visited Roadburn for the first time this year, and it will definitely be a tradition, as long as I can get a ticket.

Do any of you listen to Ahab? Fantastic funeral doom.
