2011 Rolling Doom/Stoner/Sludge/Drone/Psych/Space Metal Thread

A thread for those who want to discuss new Doom/Sludge/Drone but dont want to start a new thread on every album released.

When this board is deleted please can we keep this thread so we can discuss stuff that does kinda get lost on the rolling thread?

I posted about this on the trad/epic doom thread but thats more for older stuff.
I really cant recommend this album highly enough

CONDENADOS - A Painful Journey Into NIHIL
SKR040CD
Release Date: TBA
CD
$12.00
A relatively new Doom Metal band hailing from Chile; with a very traditional Heavy Metal / Doom Metal sound. The majority of the songs are sung in English, only a few are sung in Spanish. Carrying the old flame of Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus; Condenados takes those influences to create an ultra heavy and hypnotic rhythm and riff driven album while all sung in clean vocals. The album is an epic and emotional journey to explore the dark side of your mind. Check out their latest work at http://www.myspace.com/condenadosdoom

1. Las Puertas De La Catedral
2. Cargando La Cruz (El Inquisidor)
3. Welcome To My Grave
4. Centuries Of Darkness
5. The Shadow Within
6. Final Transmutation

really enjoyed it.

Looks like it was out last year but dont sleep on it like I did!
http://www.roadburn.com/2010/10/album-of-the-day-sungod-first-matter/

plan on checking these both out

good to see you here! Im hoping the sub-genre threads will make things easier for us all to follow plus easier to search.

no problem; I'll try to post more to the main rolling thread too, even though imo I'm more false-metal psych dude than anything. Also really want to check out the Liturgy and Orthodox albums talked about in the main thread...

God I need that Liturgy so bad. Im waiting on my Orthodox lp arriving but obviously I downloaded it and its bloody great.

you can order it here http://www.the-stone-circle.com/store/index.php?language=uk&osCsid=b3544abb77353867d2ae1e056ba36c9a

the cuzo lp from last year is on Alone Records, i need to pick that up sometime.

ohh didn't know about this

Available for PRE-ORDERS. Ltd. colour vinyl. DAMO SUZUKI, the legendary vocalist of the German band CAN, (with whom he recorded four of his most important records, Tago Mago, Future Days, Soundtracks and Bamyasi Ege), and the Spanish band CUZO are releasing in Alone Records, a live album recorded in one of their dates together last year. The title of the album, 'Puedo ver Tu Mente' (I Can See Your Mind), reflects the experience of see live these two acts. Ahead of what usually it can be found on a standard live album, here there are songs that have less recognizable structure. 'Puedo ver Tu Mente' is the recording of a gig that took place in November the 4th 2009 in the small town of Huesca, Spain, where DAMO SUZUKI and CUZO met for the first time on stage. From here, the band and DAMO started a Spanish tour of 7 dates. On the album we have a single piece divided in three movements from where many songs could emerge but that dilutes any trace of structure and links the musical passages with undeniable perfection to other states of mind, sometimes more relaxed and other times more electric. The pause between tracks is no more than the required oxygen intake before making another dive on the listening experience. It seems quite obvious that is very difficult to fit compositional brilliance, technical virtuosity and creative talent in songs that last no more than 4 o 5 minutes, but what if those three components were released from the limitations of time and format?. This concept which is so close to the 'free-jazz' definition, is the glue where the music of DAMO SUZUKI and CUZO mix together and sculpt a sound speech that is constantly mutating and fed back with bites of progressive-rock, stoner, psych, kraut, improvisation and many similar styles. Throughout the length of the album the peaks of intensity and changes of humor are happening continuously in response to the exposure of the mutual influence, the sum of both entities. This is precisely the purpose of the Damo Suzuki's Network through its 'Never-ending Tour', where he plays with other musicians from the different countries. This keeps his discourse alive and dynamic, being reinterpreted every night, without egos among the artists who are really at the service of the music they are playing at that time. This is what CAN and DAMO SUZUKI called 'Instant Composition'; each concert is unique and therefore is a unique opportunity to create a new sound work. That is what DAMO SUZUKI and CUZO made in their first gig together. Listen the album is to feel sorry for not having being present the day the album was recorded and an aware state for staying tune in order to know when and where will tour to introduce the album to the audience. Until then, 'Puedo ver Tu Mente' is also a notch in the gun of DAMO SUZUKI, and a great opportunity to enjoy the best weapon of CUZO, their live performance.

oooh

are they gonna release any of this stuff on CD cause I don't have a record player (though I might be getting one...)

oh i dunno, i just copied from the vinyl page. Alone usually do both i think

though if you are in the usa you might be better waiting til ATH gets them

ATH?

you heard that Hypnos 69 album yet, pfunkboy?

http://www.allthatisheavy.com/

no, ive not heard it yet. They've been around years right? All my stoner rock friends from audiogalaxy/slsk rooms loved them.

I thought you would have heard of ATH. Sadly the stonerrock.com forums gone now but ATH is still going. Just wish it was a bit cheaper, plus everytime anyone in europe orders, they wont mark value down/as a gift, so almost everyone gets hit with a VAT charge from the customs (and the even higher mandatory and despicable £8 post office charge) which means most euros cant order from them now.

I had a Cuzo album ages ago and found it to be just the most generic post-metal waste of time... maybe they're better now and I got <3 for D Suzuki but he's not exactly choosy about who he teams up with

realest of talk, and sorry to get my promo swag on, but the Witch Mountain album is probably the best doom-related thing I've heard this year so far! I think it is out in about a month and is released by the band themselves so I guess you can direct all questions to Nate not that I've seen him posting for a minute

So is "Dopesmoker" by Sleep really the must-hear epic I have had ppl tell me it is recently?

yes

but any album no matter by who is always a disappointment if its been really bigged up

Dopesmoker seems a bit of a commitment, I was planning on hedging my bets with Holy Mountain which seemed like it had more in common with the High on Fire albums I loved

great album too. get both!!

xpost- yeah "Dopesmoker" is some kinda monument, but it can be a chore to listen to imo. (I've only got the "Jerusalem" version of it- not sure how different the one you get in stores these days differs)

(btw Trayce have you heard the first High on Fire album The Art of Self-Defense? I'm not exactly fluent in metal, but it's one of the best heavy albums I've ever heard, and one of my favorite albums from this last decade...)

not heard them (read about them on a swamp thats sludgy if you know what i mean ;) )
but this may be what drugs a money is after

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/artistsofwar

1st HOF is still my fave HOF

what that blog said about artists of war btw

Really powerful and heavy debut, the best way i can come up with to define their sound is High On Fire meets The Sword. The vocals are a bit strained when they try to reach the higher pitch (actually VERY strained) but its kinda part of the deal. The music, though, is a freeakin Sludge/Doom sledgehammer. Titan sized riffs (that owe to Matt Pike volcano tones a lot), eardrum violating drums, and a geral feeling of a stampede war-like epic rage.

interesting

you know the blog I speak of?

no...and I'm not really after anything anywayz but I'm gonna check em out regardless...

I havwnt heard any HoF yet, ... at least I dont think I have, I listened to some Om and Sleep stuff, some stuff that had a bit of a Sabbathy riffin going on, quite liked it. Really like Earth, was wondering if Dopesmoker was in a similar vein.

High on Fire is less drone than those bands I think...

early stuff is stoner later more metal

you ever listen to any Vitus, Trayce? Born Too Late is pretty droney...

the 1st ep even more so

also yay for the thread title change

yay indeed I was just thinking that put the words "space" and "rock" together and I become a huge fan...

well id be surprised if spacerock doesnt kinda have its own thread but stuff like SubArachnoid Space and Paik definitely belongs here. Bardo Pond have their own thread but have no probs discussing them here either.

hey have you guys ever heard of this one band called Hawkwind?

tell us more!

are they new? out in 2011?

what a dumb name, sounds like a bird fart

xxp awesome...I was just reading over the 2008 albums poll thread, and I'm just now getting around to checking out all the stuff like paavoharju, lau nau, and grouper that you were repping for in that thread...

but be warned dude; I'll probably end up trying to get you to listen to Erykah Badu once or twice in this thread...

hawkwind's first album is the best

metal poll or big poll?

big poll

(metal poll too though)

yeah theres a rolling thread on ilm for that kinda stuff. This one is for the heavier stuff obviously

Do you guys arcross the pond pay any mind to the High on Fire vs Electric Wizard harn locking? I heard there is a great divide between the Americas and the UK regarding those two bands.. idk, thats why I'm askin.

I liked their last album, doomed doomy doom doom of doomish doom

the song you played didnt really sound like Vitus to me, it sounded like X if there was no Exene and they fetishized Motorhead instead of rockabilly

http://malleusdelic.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/ufomammut-fall-tour.jpg%3Fw%3D450%26h%3D623

Anyone in Europe gonna see Ufomammut's fall tour? As far as I can tell, they only played in the U.S. with a one-off show in San Francisco in 2009. Perhaps because they're buds with Neurosis. Their signing to Neurot hopefully will mean a U.S. tour sometime next year.

It might mean their cds and lps will be cheaper!

Tonight they're in Tampere, Finland. Tomorrow, Helsinki. Wish I could jet over!

Yeah, I'm going to the Bristol show.

dont think they're playing up here

Are they doing Supersonic?

No. Would have been a good opportunity for them though.

What am I saying, SSonic has ElWiz, Monarch and Orthodox. That's a big chunk of doom right there.

yeah dog corrupted ftw obaby.

http://www.smallstone.com/img/posters/chitownLO.gif

Looking forward to the Small Stone showcase on Saturday, with Gozu, Suplecs, Sasquatch, Lo-Pan and Freedom Hawk. Not sure if that's the order. I would have thought Freedom Hawk would be co-headliner, as they just released a tremendous second album, Holding On. All the bands have some solid recordings, should be a great show.

Not that it's nearly as good as any of the above, but The Roswell Incident's HOPING FOR A CONTACT just went up today at bandcamp.

http://theroswellincident.bandcamp.com

Live set from 1997 in anticipation of perhaps future recordings should Elvis T. and ever be in the same county again.

Might even be worth the download cost of absolutely free.

I've been enjoying Causa Sui - Pewt'r Sessions Vol 1, and finally picked up Vol 2. A search in Google Reader showed that this site has their whole catalog! http://psych-rock.blogspot.com/2011/08/causa-sui-pewtr-sessions-2-2011.html

Perfect, massive dose of Colour Haze Jr. to hold me over 'til She Said comes out in just over a month!

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTY0vUZ1n5I/Tk9bskLdEzI/AAAAAAAAB0A/Ln9Xs6q-3oU/s320/Life+Is+Psychedelic.jpg

Causa Sui (Elektrohasch) 05
Free Ride (Elektrohasch) 07
Summer Sessions Vols. 1-3 (Elektrohasch) 09
Pewt'r Sessions Vols. 1 & 2 (El Paraiso) 11

That Causa Sui Pewt't Sessions disc doesn't suck at all. Spacetastic.

Highly recommend Summer Sessions Vol. 1

Really looking forward to this

Last one was really good.

And it was really good

just now im listening to some finnish funeral doom. Some really nice melancholic piano mixed in with the heavy downtuned guitars and the vox. The finns really do rule funeral doom.

most albums discussed here available in the group.

for fans of trad doom with clean vox

Is Ratfucker the same guy as Algerian Goalkeeper.

never heard of him

Welcome back

Gomer Pyle, Causa Sui, and the Samsara Blues Experience all seem v interesting to me...

Plus the Roswell Incident ;)

There is a band called Gomer Pyle? Maybe we should start a band called The Ropers. Or Jack Tripper.

Aww, that's gonna go right to my overinflated ego, Drugs.

Digging the new Freedom Hawk album, which you can hear here: http://drdoomslair.com/2011/10/13/freedom-hawk-holding-on/

Though it could be slower and sludgier...

and less ozzy? :)

remember how Sheavy used to sound like a ringer for ozzy era sabbath?

I suppose it's most Ozzyesque on that first track, but yes, less Ozzy would be fine.

And this is actually the first Freedom Hawk I've heard, so I don't remember that...

Wasn't a huge fan of the Causa Sui, though I'm thinking about seeking out the first Pewt'r Sessions.

I think Pewt'r Sessions are a definite improvement on the Summer Sessions. Anyone in Chicago going to see Sleestak at Cafe Lura tonight in Chicago?

I just finished an updated and expanded version of my Stoner Rock Primer that covers Sleestak at the end (and Causa Sui, and many of the bands in this thread) -- http://www.fastnbulbous.com/stoner-rock.htm

that rundown was sweet, fnb!

Thanks! In a fit of completism, I added a few more items to the article since then (Goatsnake, Los Natas, Cowboys & Aliens, Been Obscene, Pyrior, Spiritual Beggars, Blind Dog, Numbah Ten, At Devil Dirt), and I compiled that and recent articles in ePub (iPad, Nook, Android) and mobi (Kindle). Also reposting lots of related album blogs on FB page.

News of interest to some of you, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats' Blood Lust will be available on CD November 16th.

fastnbulbous, I love your lists, but for the life of me I can't understand what you hear in that Ufesas album that makes you place it higher than the Cosmic Dead & Psychic Paramount albums, which are two of my top albums of the year...

Psychic Paramount is cool like if Sonic Youth took a turn in 1982, and I like the lo-fi Cosmic Dead, but I freakin' love Ufesas. Can't stop playing it. So you listened to it?

fastnbulbous - did you hear the Argus record, Boldly Strode the Doomed? Great classic metal record that caught me hook line & sinker.

The name caught my eye as it's a great Wishbone Ash album, but I did not hear it. I missed so much stuff I'm sure. Like I heard some streamed songs from Maligno - The Funeral Domine, but once I grabbed it, realized it's pretty great.

Left out the part where the streamed songs sounded like crap.

I streamed the Maligno and assumed it was poorly recorded versions of good songs. Guess I should track down a cop and hear them as intended.

For my last post here, my final list for 2011. I spent a bunch of time looking up which ones are on Bandcamp. I bought several that way, especially the ones that are less than $10 for FLAC.
