Gawd, I love Doom Metal...

Thanks to the Death Row show at Roadburn I've been enjoying the hell out of the first three Pentagram records.

Hey SAHB also happy to help spread the word

It will be the best $75 you will ever spend

I don't feel like slogging through the last 6 pages, so pardon me if they've been discussed. Anyone have some opinions on the doom band SAHG?

Their name keeps getting thrown around on my Amazon account. Heard some clips and they sound decent enough, even if they aren't breaking any new ground.

Any thoughts on SAHG?

Good to see my old thread alive and kicking...was spinning some Candlemass in the car not long ago...

I have their first album. It's good, but nothing really special. You'd be better off with checking out The Lamp of Thoth/

DOOM DAY!!

Paradise Lost, Las Cruces, Orodruin,

Picked up the Terrorizer special issue "The Secret History Of Doom Metal". Nice little encapsulation of Doom-related bits. Short articles on American Doom, British Doom, Epic Doom, pieces on Bobby Leibling, Place Of Skulls, Paradise Lost, Lee Dorrian, the A-Z of Doom, 50 Essential Doom albums, and a 13-track CD featuring Saint Vitus, Pilgrim, Witchsorrow, Lord Vicar and more....

Just discovered this band and ordered their debut EP.



Sounds really good. Chick singer, too. Anyway, the EP is $5, ordered from here: http://demonlungband.com/store.cfm

yeah, i just ordered that one myself.

just finished up a big run of the Ozzy-era Sabbath and have been listening to some Electric Wizard. "1000 amps toll the end time riff". Most of all however is the continuing obsession with the extreme continuation...sludge some would call it.....drone..et al...that I have had for quite some time. Went through Boris 'Amplifier Worship', 'Feedbacker', 'Cloud Chamber', and Earth's 'Earth2' all in the same day yesterday and then passed out during the tropical storm with the windows open.

I ordered it as well.

Another band I discovered tonight:



Really cool stuff. At times, the girl has a serious Ann Wilson tone to her voice. I ordered this album, South Of Salem, from eBay, so I downloaded it from their Bandcamp page (http://witchmountain.bandcamp.com/releases) for free. It's up as a Name Your Price download.

Normally I kick in some cash, especially since they can see my e-mail address and know I'm a cheap ass if I don't, but since I'd just spent $14 on the CD of it, I wasn't very inclined to pay.

Plus I already spent $91 on CDs at Newbury Comics earlier today. Haha.

Saw these guys and Saint Vitus last Sunday:

This is a good band. They actually have a new cd coming out June 12th through Profound Lore called Cauldron Of The Wild.

Yeah, that's how I discovered them, by seeing that album up for download. That's how I find out about new releases these days, through download sites like www.GetMetal.org and www.MediaBoom.org. It's insane how much new music is released that we never hear about through the popular sites.

South Of Salem was self-released on vinyl before Profound Lore signed them. The label pressed the album on cd.

Speaking of doom metal I'm going to see Church Of Misery and The Gates Of Slumber tonight.

Love The Gates of Slumber, but they're douchebags.

Should make for an awesome gig! Enjoy.

Leo, how much ganja was going around at this concert?

That clip of Witch Mountain was cool, I like the vocalist and the song has a good groove.

Demon Lung didn't really do anything for me, nothing really wrong with it, but not enough personality for me to run out and grab it.

I have many albums of this style of music, so many that I don't really need to add any more bands unless there is something that REALLY moves me.

When I saw Iron Maiden in San Bernardino in 2010, that was the most ganja I had ever seen at a concert in my life - 30k+ people at the show. Electric Wizard far surpassed it with how thick the air was with smoke... and there were only 4 - 5k people

Gotta say, as much as I dig Witch Mountain, I like the Demon Lung EP more. Has more groove and is a bit more uptempo, which I prefer. Both are great, though.
