do Cave and Oneida count
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 20:47 (ten years ago)
Never listened to Cave but the "drone" descriptor makes me wary + only one member appears to have long hair
still, if you are comfortable setting them alongside such lofty company, why not?

I almost wrote "heavy" instead of "hard-rock" but decided that leaves the door open to too much distinctly non-rocking sludgy doom/drone stuff that can gtfo & stay there

xp Oh good call—early records may be too punk / not heavy enuff but by the time they recorded "Light Rail Coyote" they definitely qualified

oh yeah TMV are definitely in this bracket

Ugh, I would sooner admit Tool onto this list than The Mars Volta... & I would rather eat a 7-string bass than ever listen to Tool again

do the Dwarves count? some great early 90's records there, but a bit on the punk side of things

Oneida sucks, haha just kidding, I've only heard a few songs from them & I sorta suspect them of being too art-rock for this thread... is there an album of theirs you would recommend if I want ++rock & --art?also for some reason I tend to confuse them with Beulah

Kyuss pales in comparison to a lot of the bands listed here. Finding a groove, turning up to 11 then moving on to listen to rush Limbaugh or Sean hannity or whatever the fuck that idiot is into is not my idea of a great band.

I really dig the soloing in the last minute of "Hessian", the drumming in the second half of "Face of Oblivion" (but not so much the guitar part), the title track & "Cross the Bridge" in their entirety

I haven't heard anything by them I didn't like, though the early material is a little growing-painy. Amanita/Lapsed/Dilate are my favorite three. Also the recent Record Store Day EPs they did of epic cover versions of other peoples songs are worth a download.

Tommy Gun Angel (opening track off Lapsed) was my entryway into Bardo Pond and is as sublime a composition as there ever was to walk that thin line between sludge metal and shoegaze*
