The Metal Thread Genre • Page 684

Yeah see that's what baffles me. That's the release I can't get into the most. I enjoyed that first EP they released, and the first full-length was alright to my ears but definitely more middling to me, and then their newest I just can't wrap my head around. I'm not even a stranger to super bizarre extreme metal with twisting and bending riffs. My brain just refuses to accept that record. I can't explain it.

 

Must be the weed…

 

I was one week into my freshman year at college and didn't have a car (or know anyone with one yet) so I remember walking like 3 miles to Hastings to buy this the day it came out.

 

Hey, 1. I use THC vape oil thank you very much, there's totally a huge difference, /s, and 2. thanks to my ADHD, getting high usually actually helps me concentrate on dense releases like that (it's how Karmacipher and Cosmovore sounded so good to my ears and clicked with me) so it's very unusual it isn't helping here.

 

yeah, didn't smoke enough

 

That's always the answer.

Except when you accidentally smoke too much that you just fall asleep.

 

lol metal is great stoned and sober. versatile genre!

 

For sure! Not super familiar with stoner metal though actually, come to think of it. I should fix that.

 

It’s all stoner metal the way I listen to it brother

 

Sleep, Kyuss and Sabbath are all you need.

Probably not true, but that's as far as I've gotten with the subgenre

 

depends on what all you consider stoner metal i guess. some high on fire, some baroness, stuff like that can lean into it.

 

I don't smoke and I love stoner metal. Calms my hyperactive brain.

 

random, but on the topic of baroness, they posted this song on their socials since it came out exactly 6 years ago and im not sure how i forgot how much i fucking love this track. one of their best songs of all time, and one of my favorite songs of all time. i remember seeing it live, so fucking huge.

 

I’ve never done drugs a day in my life but stoner metal is pretty badass.

 

Exactly how I feel with Jinjer. The songs on this album just clicked for me. And Phineas is just damn good metalcore.

 

amen brother

 

Add in Om, monolord, weedeater, electric wizard, acid king, windhand, cough, all them witches, uncle acid and the deadbeats, red fang and even then you're barely scratching the surface

 

anyone into this one?

blackgaze post metal with some clean vocals with like jazzy sections?

 

revisited this one when Joey passed away - still a very good & powerful album

still surprises me how something this dark & violent was being played in the radio & cracking the Billboard etc.

 

Do what you will with this but it’s here. The thread goes into more detail.

 

the lurking danger of listening to black metal bands youve never heard of before

 

As a reference for the leftists who want black metal that caters to their political ideologies, the r/rabm subreddit is a great place to check out left-leaning and antifascist black metal bands, labels, and distros.

 

dawn ray’d all day baby

 

and panopticon before he started making music about the woods or whatever

 

thank you - was not aware
