If I love: The Sword - Gods of the Earth...then I will surel

Eyesore, I think these bands have a retro feel about them. Do you differ?

This thread rules!!!

Great suggestions guys!

I'm loving the stuff I've heard that's a little more on the metal side and has a little more getty-up.

Priestess
Grand Magus
Spiritual Beggar

So far those are hitting me hardest.

...don't forget about Orange Goblin.

Karma To Burn

By the way, De, has Graveyard put out anything else? I was spinning the debut last night. Love that album.

I just checked their myspace page and the headline is..."Believe it or not, the album is being mixed".

Sounds like good news! Now if Witchcraft would just record a new album! The vocalist (Magnus Pelander) is releasing a solo EP, but no word yet on the next band record.

He should focus on a new Witchcraft album.

Conclusion:

This has been a great thread! What I've picked up:

Spiritual Beggars - On Fire (great overall, with a couple of fillers. Tall Tales is a monster song!! It's in my head constantly)

Robot Lords of Tokyo - Blood, Whiskey & Napalm (Just love their sound, silly lyrics - got this cheap. Worth a listen if you haven't)

Priestess - Hello Master and Prior to the Fire (Just a good rocking hard rock/heavy metal band)

On its way:

High on Fire - Snakes...(?) samples I've heard prove this to be monstrous. Can't wait to get it.

Still need:

Grand Magus - Iron Will (everything I've heard on youtube is fantastic)

NP: The Sword - Gods Of The Earth

Great selections! High On Fire is incredible, definitely get Blessed Black Wings and The Art of Self Defense when you get a chance.

Scott, I asked the same question of the person who recommended me The Sword (whose 2 albums I take to the gym at least twice a week) and he said, Baroness. Peace.

I can't agree with that. Baroness has good music, but it's typical "monotone, hollering vocals" with no sense of melody in sight. I can't listen to them for 10 minutes without running from the room.

Maybe BARONESS

Scott, there's a new cd by The Sword coming out on 8/24 called Warp Riders.

Try these guys on for size...Puny Human

I think they're done, but the 3 albums they put out are good stoner/sludgy fun rock'n roll. You should be able to find their stuff fairly cheap. A band that writes a song about Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High are A-OK in my book.

Check out the Briton Rites debut album. Doesn't sound like The Sword, but if you like your heavy metal doomy but still rocking it should be right up your alley.
