For the love of doom metal: C/D?

But: folky wintertime slippers doom

Examples please? I need this. :)

Let y = twinkle fairy dust

X + Y = ILX dream band!

Of course, my weird descriptions are pretty felxible.

Is the Morgion album you own "Among Majestic Ruin" (it has an EP's track size, but an album's duration) or "Solinari"? They just released their third and final album, "Cloaked by Ages, Crowned In Earth," which I reviewed here:

"The Sun That Never Sets" dvd really drives the point home pretty effectively from a visual angle.

Classic!

bloody panda is my new favorite doom metal band, anyone else listen to them? they have a great female japanese singer

http://www.myspace.com/bpanda (check out 'untitled')

Yeah, I like them.

I'm going to check out Bloody Panda when they hit Maine for Stoner/Doom Fest III next week. Should be awesome.

That sounds like a great festival, who is all playing?

It's three long nights at Geno's in Portland, ME -
Thursday August 23rd: CITADEL (ME) VILLAGE OF DEAD ROADS (PA) THE HUMANIODS (MA) CONIFER (ME)

Friday August 24th: 1000 KNIVES OF FIRE (NJ) ELDEMUR KRIMM (ME) RPG (VA) THE BROUGHT LOW (NY) CORTEZ (MA) SOLACE(NJ)

Saturday August 25th: SIN OF ANGELS (RI) COUGH (VA) THE BODY (RI) BLOODY PANDA (NY) OCEAN (ME)

It is like $8 night or $20 for a three day pass. Some bands might still be added, though it is getting late.

I hope to pick up the new Conifer/Ocean split LP either Thursday or Saturday.

Yeah I ordered that from Important. I like both bands. As usual shipping was more expensive than the lp!

I like Solace as well.

I've heard good things about Solace but haven't actually heard them. I hope to make it all three nights if my ears will take it. When I saw Ocean this spring I could barely hear for like three days. Time to get some real earplugs, not those little foam jobbers.

I'd like to see Ocean a lot.Don't think they've ever toured here.

Ocean hope to have their new album out by the end of the year/beginning of next. I think until that's all set they're only leaving the home base for a week at the most (I know they played in Baltimore with Bloody Panda a few months back). I expect a big tour in support.

The first album really doesn't capture just how massive they sound live. Definitely catch them if they come round.

am i the only one who checked out the totem (now jex thoth, a much shittier name) ep on i hate records? mind you, i don't have an actual copy because no one in the US seems to carry it.

ATH were selling it.

Aqua Teen Hunger?

Jex Thoth is the name of the singer. Think Warlock - Doro.

All Thats Heavy (stonerrock.com)

Jex Thoth is the name of the singer. Think Warlock - Doro.

i know. but warlock was a better name than doro, and totem a better name than jex thoth. the latter sounds like some shitty character in a cory doctorow novel or something.

"Jess1ca T0th" is her real name though

and Doro sold more records than Warlock!

Whens the jex thoth album coming?

can't answer your question herman, i just came to say that i love the original post of this thread.

it's ok, the poster above my last post might just know.

Can't stop listening to Nortt's "Ligfaerd", and I've just ordered up Catacombs' "IN THE DEPTHS OF R'LYEH", which has would seem to have Submerged Civilization Doom covered.

. . but my main question is, why is Thergothon out of print?

Where did you find the Catacombs? I have mp3s of that, need cd or vinyl.

eBay. Aquarius have it. Go for it.

Trotsky's original post is 100% OTM. Despite being a genre that is always described as suicidal, depressive, dreary, Doom is really the supreme decadent pleasure. Like watching the sunset from Cleopatra's funeral barge.

Jex Thoth album will be out 2/29. That's word on the streets of Madison, anyway....

Excellent, I couldn't find the cdep that came out under the old name on I Hate Records. Anyone know where I could find that?

i traded mine in for jazz records at the store. but you will like it!

I hope so! It was mailed yesterday so I should have it by the middle of next week hopefully.
Getting fed up with doom, Scott?

nah, maybe just the ocean type stuff. i liked that four burials split that i posted a picture of above. i liked the last funeral album. so, um, i guess i still like funeral doom. but the new wave southern lord type of thing maybe doesn't do as much for me.

Is the new album more drone/doom then?

it's pretty glacial. riffs that repeat forever and ever. like i said on the metal thread though, i never played it all the way thru without falling asleep. which might even be a compliment!

Well I look forward to getting it as I loved the 1st album. I bought that just on a chance from Importants mailing list when it first came out and I am so glad I did.
Hoping they've expanded on the sound though and not just made the same album again. Just like Orthodox did with their last album.
Do you like Orthodox, Scott? Last album had some jazz influences on it.

and btw the answer to this question Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale (Best UK Rock Album This Year?) is YES!

Anyone know anything about Rose Kemp?

No Eastenders jokes please :)

She's a nice enough person, never been overly impressed with her live.

What's her stuff like?

She does too many different things to try and categorise her, every time you see her it's something different. From pretty overt pop-punk to Circulus-type folk to stoner-lite.

Man, that Rose Kemp album is one of my albums of the year. Definitely top 5.

It's heavy rock with organ, soulful lady singing, quiet parts, loud parts, tons of darkness. Who needs to make categorizable music to be awesome?

I discovered her because she sings one of the tracks on the new Ufomammut. Then i heard this incredible 7" b-side on her Myspace site called "Fire in the Garden". Then she sent me the record.

I wish she had a killer US label so I could be brave enough to book her first US tour. She fucking rules.

behalf is sick. didn't know guy was in a doom metal band. kind of sucks maybe

new Ocean is good, first track slays but mainly because of the Bloody Panda songstress....who guests

My Ocean cd arrived, tis great. I'd like to buy that Rose Kemp lp from AB but next months budget is going on that Jewelled Antler box set aQ are keeping for me.

DOOM OVER THE WORLD

Although why do a Finnish band have a Union Jack behind the drummer?

"behalf is sick. didn't know guy was in a doom metal band."

His band is really experimental. Still, he does need to release more solo music...

No doom thread without Winter.

Everyone buy the new Esoteric

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4/ultrashitinferno/DOOMBANG.jpg

i've been listening to sludge for ages and am only now sort of starting to penetrate the wide-eyed universe of doom metal. i've been listening to mostly the more droney side of things like sunn o))) and nadja, but i'm looking to explore the more riff-oriented and melodic side of the dirge, preferrably but not necessarily instrumental, i'm thinking a doom electric wizard sans vocals maybe?

nowt wrong with electric wizard vocals

seems like most of the riff-oriented groups have vocals from what i've heard. if you haven't heard 5ive, check them out. only one of their songs has vocals as far as I know.

You might really like the last Conifer record Samosa.

Good recommendation Nate - just skip the title track at the end.

I got my Worship - Last Vinyl Before Doomsday in today.
Same colour as this one

Corrupted were awesome last night.

lucky you

Fuller report on them and others, including Thorr's Hammer, when I'm not posting from the phone. Esoteric in an hour.

What did you think of Esoteric in the end? I wanted to like them a lot more than I did, just because there's so many highly admirable things about them (their incredible singlemindedness and dreadful typefaces for example), but real talk is that Corrupted and TH did their thing way, way better. I think I enjoyed them more as Jarboe's backing band, actually

Yeah, I thought the same, that they were far better backing Jarboe. Their own set was too cluttered, they seem to want to do too much what with sections that are Bay Area speed, a bass player that DESPERATELY wants to solo and that weird fairground organ. In fact, I wish I hadn't hung onto the end of them, because as a result I missed the first half of the Pontiak set whic was v high quality stoner riffage.

TH are better than Sunn. There, I said it.

TH > Sunn this weekend, though Sunn were great nonetheless; seeing them live really makes me appreciate the extremis of what they do.

Anyone heard the new Unearthly Trance album yet?

the non bleeped promo version

no but i love this band

If you had legit access to the bleeped promp, the same source now has the beep-less version. I gave it one cursory background listen and liked it well enough, but I really don't think I've given it close enough ears to fairly rate it.

$39 + Shipping to europe OUCH!!!

and no, it wasnt "legit" access.
