When Black Sabbath released Masters of Reality back in the 70s, it spawned a new generation of music that came around in the 90s. Nobody really knows the exact term for this generation, but it's been called stoner metal, doom metal, sludge metal, and drone metal...
Does anyone here at PA enjoy these metal subgenres? I for one, really enjoy the sonic experimentation and just extreme heaviness that many of these bands utilize.
Count me in! Cathedral is my fave "stoner metal" band. The 1st album was pure doom but I think "The Ethereal Mirror" is the greatest stoner metal album ever. Also like Catacombs, Warhorse, Burning Witch, Goatsnake, Triptykon, Khanate, early Celtic Frost, and the Cephalic Carnage EP "The Halls of Amenti".
I actually HATE everything that is Drone-related, but Stoner Rock/Metal gets me crazy, and I particuliarly love everything with John Garcia on vocals, so I add Unida and Slo Burn

I really forgot about Boris. Their collaboration with Sunn O))) (Altar, I think it was) is one of my favorite drone albums ever. The Melvins are really great too, kind of the forefathers of many contemporary acts
