What i the sound of Stoner Rock

I don't think of Kyuss, Orange Goblin etc. as something separate from the heavier end of 1960s/1970s psychedelic rock as exemplified by Blue Cheer, Cream, Hendrix etc. At worst it's a modern reconstruction but I don't think it's a separate culture.

Exactly what I think for nearly 20 years (and I'm not sure serious rock and metal critics will all disagree).

Fun fact: in an interview for the French magazine Noise published last year, French band Mars Red Sky dismissed the "stoner rock" label to describe their music and prefered to call themselves a "psychedelic heavy-rock band".

Stoner Rock is people TRYING to be Black Sabbath in their first four album.

I like the sound of the bands, but they forget to improve themselves, with another range of instruments and sounds ans stuff.

One band that managed to do it: Blood Ceremony - its stoner, has flute, violon, acoustic songs, etc etc etc...

There are still paths to discover in the Stoner genre, but few artists have done anything than the usual.
