Space Ritual by Hawkwind.

The perfect blend of British Hard Psychedelia and Detroit-area proto-punk.

Blue Cheer-one of the bands that started it all, and just about the loudest and heaviest band ever

Good cautionary statement.  Electric Wizard is not to be approached without proper mental preparation.  "Dopethrone" is almost ridiculously heavy.  I personally am relieved that the vocals aren't either screechy or growly (which they very well could have been, given the genre) - instead, it sounds more like some bonehead hollering into a megaphone. Cool.
 
Almost? Give me a break. Me and my friends laugh our asses off when we hear some of their songs LOL


I read some reviews before I bought it, and these reviews actually cautioned me to be careful about damaging my speakers.  Imagine music that is so heavy that an average stereo system will destroy itself to avoid playing it.  Now THAT would be ridiculously heavy. Cool

Good song, though i prefer "Hands all Over", which is probably my favorite Soundgarden song ever. Not many bands can do such a simple riff so good. It's so simple it's ridiculous. Two power chords one octave apart and some slides.
 
And yes, Soundgarden will surely appeal to fans of stoner rock/metal. They have such a great blend of heavy, punk, psychedelic and classic rock elements, all mixed together in a grungy seattle sound Approve

The only album rom that genre that i have that isn't by any of those bands is this:
Sleep - Holy Mountain
 
Can't say i've listened to it much, but it sounds pretty stoner to me. If you like heavy, stoned, riff-based music, you'll probably dig it!

There's a great album by a supergroup known as Shrinebuilder.  It has Dale Crover from the Melvins on drums, as well as guys from Neurosis (Scott Kelly), Sleep (Al Cisneros), and St Vitus (Scott "Wino" Weinrich).  It has a classic heavy metal sound to it, like early Sabbath (the model of all stoner rock).

Big smile

I would like to get to know some more stoner rock. Up till now Iīve only listened to Kyuss, QOTSA and Fu Manchu. Now I would like to hear something similar. Any suggestions?
