Yeah, I've noticed a growing popularity in much slower, heavier metal. Which is good compared to the regurgitated bullcrap that has become known as death metal.

It's been slow coming too... like I got into the melvins back went nirvana still existed

So did Nirvana.

Lol, I got into big boy underpants back when nirvana still existed.

Anyone have any good bandcamp finds lately? It's been a few weeks since I've gone on a binge over there.

Good to see you bro!!!

Have you heard the live Bongripper album yet? http://burningworldrecords.bandcamp.com/releases

I hate to be a downer, but I feel like "doom" is going through the same hipster renaissance that "black metal" did. I'm not trying to dis anyone here, or anyone anywhere specifically. I'm just saying it's a zeitgeist which is a nice way of calling it trendy. Yes, The Melvins have been around for decades (and are not traditional 'doom' anyway) but it seems to me that it was one of the least mainstream forms of metal and thus akin to the really ugly clothes at Salvation Army that nobody wanted until some kids who were trying to find some fashion that hadn't been appropriated yet. Granted, doom metal is much cooler than stained bike shorts and a paisley blouse. I just don't trust anyone who doesn't make or appreciate doom "naturally"; that is, regardless of what anyone else is doing.

That's why everyone should try to play this at half speed instead:

You know what I mean, Melvins are multi-faceted and unpredictable.

Interesting. I'm guessing the Carver/Tapco side does the extreme harshness? Either way, thank you. I'm going to have to leave this forum, so that I don't start thinking I need an aluminum guitar. You guys and you're damn albini love and EGC thread...

From all I know, yes.

Honestly, bridge p90's on aluminum is pretty bright and cutting. Pair it with any overdrive and a compressor and you've got the sound. It's definitely by far one of my favorite sounds ever

Stoner rock and to a lesser degree doom, has already kinda done that and passed at least a few years ago. When Sleep first reformed there were tons of hipsters and then hipsters at High on Fire shows. Either way it won't last.

Then we must.. innovate.



edit: damn copy/paste..

Not going to quote everyone on the whiskey stuff but Black Bush is awesome, as is JW Green (which they are getting rid of in the next 18 months so stock up)

As far as vodka find yourself some Russian Standard Platinum, I'm not a vodka fan but I would never turn that down.

Just got put on a waiting list for this:

Two completely different movies, they lift the music in the beginning of the Tarantino film, and Franco Nero has a cameo in it, other than that different films.

Isn't this the only Django Unchained? I mean there are like twenty movies with the Django character.
