Tell me something about these bands listed as influences in a craigslist musicians wanted post ....

"Influences: Melvins, Dystopia, Noothgrush, Kylesa, Celestine, Admiral Angry, His Hero Is Gone, Converge, Ed Gein, Grief, Gasp, etc."

i know and like the Melvins, dig the Converge i've heard, but that's it.
also, i think Noothgrush is an excellent word. Noothgrush. Nooooooooothgrush.
Noothgrush.

Ed Gein is not a band

(well maybe it is but primarily its a serial killer)

Don't go to this guy's house!!!

NOOTHGRUSH Erode The Person (Throne) cd 14.98
It seems like recently, the world has finally begun to openly embrace the joys of sludge-doom-death-drone or whatever you want to call it. Boris, Corrupted, SUNNO))), Earth, Marzuraan, Bunkur, Moss, Khanate, Nadja, nobody can seem to get enough downtuned sludginess, or glacial metallic pummel. And we couldn't be more thrilled. But if you were around the Bay Area way back in the late nineties, you might remember a band who were prime traffickers in such gloriously low end brutality, but who have seemed to have been completely forgotten.
That band would be Noothgrush, who back in the day, released records and toured with Corrupted, released tons of killer splits, and who were known to lay waste to tiny clubs all over SF.
Having broken up way back in 2001, and with almost their entire catalog out of print, Noothgrush seemed to be about a decade too early. If they were around now, we can guarantee people would be losing their shit (and tons of money on eBay) over this low slung, sludge rock power trio. And way before sludge nerds all over the world were smitten by the diminutive Wata wielding her mighty axe in Boris, Noothgrush were being driven by a young woman by the name of Chiyo, an equally diminutive rocker bashing the living shit out of her drums!
Sonically, there's a definite resemblance to early Corrupted. Huge plodding doom, massive downtuned guitars, riffs stretched out into near-drones, glass gargling vocals, a slow motion glacial black hole of crumbling doom destruction.
This cd collects the band's final studio recordings, all of their splits as well as a handful of unreleased material. The first half of their 'discography' was released on Slap-A-Ham and is now unfortunately out of print. But this 2nd part has most of our favorite Noothgrush material. The band really shone on their splits, and this disc collects all of their material from long out of print splits with Corrupted, Suppression, Gasp, Wellington and Carol Ann. Plus a handful of unreleased tracks. Hell yeah!
So completely and absolutely essential. Fans of SUNNO))), Boris, Corrupted and other plodding drone doom behemoths who somehow missed out on the glorious brutality that was Noothgrush can now see what they've been missing.
Includes a big booklet with liner notes, photos and lyrics.

Noothgrush is great! One of the members used to host a radio show called WELCOME TO THE DARKSIDE with Princess Leia Organa and sometimes guest DJ MR. HATE.

That's from Aquarius btw.

How does Ed Gein compare to Ed Gein's Car?

yeah I think that's what they meant.

Kylesa is awesome newish metallo-crush, scott seward could tell you more.

His Hero is Gone are Memphis Hardcore legends.

According to wikipedia entry on Ed Gein, the original, there is a band called Ed Gein, not to be confused with hardcore band, Ed Gein's Car. If Kenan is reading this thread - that one could use a bit of editing, too.

also, i think Noothgrush is an excellent word. Noothgrush. Nooooooooothgrush.
Noothgrush.

IIRC it's a Seussism

thanks all, i figured they'd all be kinda sludgey.

a Seussism? I was hoping it was what monsters used to clean their teeth

Ed Gein is not a band

There is a "politcal" hardcore band called just Ed Gein.

it all makes sense now, i'll bet the good doctor needed a rhyme for "toothbrush".......

Okay, new ad : "...Some of out influences are Periphery, Sikth, Chimpspanner, sky eats airplane etc...."

I have never heard of any of these bands....
