I admit to not being up on the stoner/doom/heavy psych rock genres, but if it needs any of the sound I imagine then it's gotta be the Hammond. Nothing screams DOOM or STONER or PSYCH like it. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

To me, stoner rock, like heavy metal, doom metal, thrash, etc. is built around heavily distorted "crunch" guitar. A full blown rhythm section is a must, add two guitars doing power chords and fills. Then add a vocalist with a killer set of pipes and an attitude that can keep up with the band I just described.

| Sludgey bass and muffled drums. I don't really have much in the way of Stoner, but I think the Architectural Metaphor album I have fits the bill quite nicely. |

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. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

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 Black Sabbath during their first four albums. ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

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. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |
