Slow and heavy Iommic riffage

Here we have more stoner metal goodness. Hailing from the UK in 1996, this immediately rips. These recommendations I'm getting are plentiful at the moment, so I'll keep the posts coming when I can - it won't always be daily.

Stoner metal with a nice buzz like most should have. Great beat that keeps the head bobbing throughout.

Been a hot minute since I posted that one Baroness track before. Here we have a signal change in their sound, where John Baizley started using clean vocals mixed with his raspy voice. As well as adding a more complex but slightly lighter guitar sound. This is still undeniably progressive sludge metal though.

All their album art was done by the vocalist as well, a very distinctive style; lots of bands out there have been using artwork done by him - Skeletonwitch, Black Tusk, Kylesa, and probably more lol.

This album comes from a Japanese group that makes music from various genres, most notably noise rock, post metal, drone metal and sludge metal. Linked are my big recommendations from this incredible album, being Pt. 2 and Pt. 3 - an amazing buildup and release. Though the whole album is a single drone, all the instruments come together during those two standouts.

I find it fitting to post a Sabbath track this time, since, they played their last show recently. Off the 3rd album comes this last track, with the awesome riffs that we all know and love. Not their doomy-est but influential as all hell.

Through posting here sporadically, I find myself becoming more and more exposed to the fringes of what I thought I'd like, musically-wise. Normally I'm all about the speed - thrash metal, death metal, black metal, and of course lol speed metal, just check my uploads to other metal communities.

However, doom metal is also under the umbrella of the greater extreme metal subgenre and while I always looked at it from afar, occasionally snippets of stuff would osmose their way into my consciousness. I became a fan of sludge metal (though I did not know what it as called at the time) through High on Fire back in the 00's, playing their faster songs in playlists with my other deathrasher stuff.

But more recently, music from Candlemass and Elder, and even some Tom G. Warrior bands made it's way into my daily recommendations and actually got me to try them, so here we are today with more traditional doom metal, with the slow and heavy Iommic riffage, as stated on the about section of this awesome community that's been abandoned by our mod.

Once again I post a non doom metal song. This one has lots of heavy drone among its grooves, and something akin to stoner/sludge metal. Definitely much more different than most Gojira tracks, there's no progressive death metal here.

Their own kind of nonsense they call Doom-Wap, they make a quite pleasing racket. One of my favourite newly-discovered bands of late

Aussie psychedelic prog-rockers decided to release a thrash metal album with stoner tuning and style and it fuckin melts your face off. This track here today tho takes a more doomy approach by slowing way the fuck down. Fun Fact, this album came out mere months before the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Before High on Fire, guitarist Matt Pike was in Sleep and definitely worshiped Sabbath a ton. This upload is probably their most famous track, the opener to their influential second album in the stoner metal subgenre.

Today we have more sludge! Atmospheric and post-rock style. Long ass instrumental from the band Pelican. I present this track today for it's extended length, general vibes, and the flute towards the end lol.

A bit different than my usual sludge uploads, Soulmass are a death doom band writing songs primarily about From Software videogame franchises (e.g. Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Armored Core) which honestly the worlds they create are ripe with depressing subject matter. This song here is such a vibe about the story connecting the two DLCs for Dark Souls 3.

Amtospheric progressive sludge metalcore, with shit loads of quiet moments and introspection. This is their second maserpiece, in my opinion, after their Precambrian album 6 years prior.

This album is a bit of an outlier in My Dying Bride's discography, but I have a soft spot for it. The opening track is immense and feels like a sequel to "The Cry of Mankind" on "The Angel and the Dark River". I love the gloomy vibe this album has.

Not really occupying the Doom metal space, this band is definitely in the heavy metal/power metal camp, but I feel the instruments and voice resonate a lot with doom and stoner metal music. Apologies if you all disagree. Posted and linked is the opener track to their first full-length.

Opening track to Isis's paramount atmospheric sludge album, Panopticon. Every now and then I find myself spinning this masterpiece and just droning out while occupying myself with something mundane.

Stoner doom metal with a beautiful sound. Very introspective and got a warm feeling. A bit trippy too.

Progressive Sludge favorite of mine, aggressive and experimental. Hope you all enjoy the slow buildup and payoff to the main riff, it's rather orgasmic lol.

Celtic Frost worship mixed with a helping of Slayer/Venom. Yes this is Doom/Thrash, and would go on to inspire many underground bands.
