    Hey man...don't get bogged down on semantics. What FA and Relentless are saying is that there's both a Stoner metal thread and a Doom metal thread. You are welcome to use either one to talk about stoner doom bands, but we don't need a totally separate thread for "stoner doom" since it falls between either of those categories.

    So the mods are just weary against combination genres?

    Always weird coming on those ancient threads, this one started by a dude with 6 posts who hasn't been back to visit since 12 days after he made this thread 6 years ago. Creepy seeing names of users who don't post anymore. Like being in a cemetery and reading the names off old tombstones like my kid likes to do.

    I fucking love Monster Magnet and I'm very disappointed at the piss poor response they got here. Although I don't see much point in having threads for individual bands, I listen to a lot of different stuff and I don't like to be limited to just talking about one specific band. Even if it's a band I love like MM. Dave's 65 now so not I'm sure how many more MM albums he'll be able to get it up for. His last one was an album of covers last year and I got bored halfway through. I love most of the others though up to 2010's Mastermind and MM was definitely the #1 band of the 90's and early 2000's for me back then at the time. My tastes have since shifted in a more extreme direction but I'll always love Monster Magnet.

    First, you should write a song about seeing old posts being like a cemetery.  Second, I'm a bit of a fan, too.  I haven't heard the covers album, butthe thing about Monster Magnet is that they aren't entirely metal.  Still, they have more spunk than most stoner artists and their obnoxiousness constantly drives their lyrics and their deeper instrumentation.

  4. Mayhem vs Burzum

    I forgot this thread even existed. I can’t seperate Varg from his music so Burzum will never appeal to me. Deathcrush and DMDS are the only Mayhem records I like though.

    Daemon was a good comeback album IMO, and by that I mean a return to their, ahem, "spiritual" roots.

    But this isn't the general chat section.  Help me out here because the coffee hasn't kicked in.

    You'll find specific band threads for some of those groups in the OP scattered around both the doom and stoner subforums. Just like with some other genre combos, people love putting stuff in the right places but have different ideas about where they belong. Don't get too hung up on the semantics... the admin still hasn't gotten around to making a separate pirate metal subforum, and that's been in the queue for years.

    If you absolutely must have a thread called Stoner Doom in order to feel comfortable posting about, I dunno, Sleep or Om or whoever, have at it. Just try to avoid duplicate topics, because we may wind up merging or deleting them, and don't be sad if the discussion isn't popping off in the way you had hoped. 

    But I still haven't been linked to this so called original thread, just a stoner subforum who's only reference to doom was Candlemass's Door to Doom.  Help me out again, what's the original THREAD as opposed to a subforum?  Because I checked for a stoner doom specific thread.

    Dude it’s not a standalone genre. Stoner doom =stoner+doom. It has a thread already, respect the enthusiasm but we don’t need duplicate topics.

    I was linked to the "stoner metal" subforum but no one linked me to a specific thread for the stoner and doom combination, and I checked all the threads there, and the way I see it this thread could be placed in either forum.  Honestly, I really don't wanna argue this.

    700 albums is way too low of an estimate, there have been thousands more than that. It's hey-day was over 20 years ago though so it might not be easy to get a large group of general metalheads to get real excited over the prospect of talking about it unless you stumbled into an enclave of stoner enthusiasts somewhere. But like dad and Blivvie have said this forum has sections for more sub-genres than you could shake a stick at, including stoner. I guess having dedicated sections for this stuff makes it easier to find for new people like you.

    Maybe.  It was only the one website.  But to be fair I specifically looked for albums on that site that were tagged with both "stoner metal" as opposed to rock and "doom metal" as primaries.  I also left out extended plays, demos and comps.  But if what you say is true about the combo being way above 700, then I think this is the perfect place for discussion and recommendations of that specific vein.

    I don't know why this isn't talked about as an official subgenre when we have so many key bands in this specific vein of doom: Sleep, Electric Wizard, Ufomammut, YOB, Spirit Caravan, Catherdral, Dopelord, Monolord, Spirit Caravan, Ogre and Goatsnake.  And that doesn't even scratch the surface; these were tagged as stoner and doom on several websites.  Even later Trouble albums follow this vein from what I hear.  I mean, the two flow so well together, maybe even too well to ignore.  And I was able to run a study on Rateyourmusic: from studio albums and live releases alone, we have more than 700 albums in this vein.  I'd say we got a style worth talking about.

    Favorite metal chorus: Paradise Lost by Symphony X.

    Looking down from ethereal skies
    Silent crystalline tears I cry
    For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise

    Ironic favorite:

    I'm in love with my lust, burning angel wings to dust.

    Did Nightwish HEAR THEMSELVES when they wrote that shit?

  13. Assign a Spirit Animal to Each Metal Genre

    in Deep and Meaningful

    Posted

    Something I thought of within the first 24 hours of signing up.  But I didn't post it before because I had already posted enough to make my mark.  I've got the template prepared for you right here, and I'll post it twice and keep the first one empty, just so you don't have to backspace all of my answers.

    RULES: You can't use the same animal twice.  If you wanna do animals in the same basic family, like wolf and dog or eagle and hawk, that's fine, but no getting really specific like two different geckos.  Also, if you want, you can use mythical creatures.

    Alt:

    Avant-Garde:

    Black:

    Death:

    Doom:

    Folk:

    Gothic:

    Grind:

    Heavy:

    Industrial:

    Metalcore:

    Neoclassical:

    Power:

    Prog:

    Sludge:

    Speed:

    Stoner:

    Symphonic:

    Thrash:

    Viking:

     

    OK, now for my answers.

     

    Alt: Spider for that one Primus single, and for seeing bugs around a few alt-metal album covers.

    Avant-Garde: Platypus (come on, that animal was God's abstract piece.)

    Black: Goat for obvious reasons.

    Death: Snake, something deadly and that wasn't already a raven or crow, which was placed in a better spot.

    Doom: Raven.  Nevermore?

    Folk: Deer because The Mantle and nature.

    Gothic: Bat.  Duh-du-DUUUUUH, dududududuuuuh-DUUUUUH.

    Grind: Pig for Pig Destroyer, and for the squeally vocals you get sometimes.

    Heavy: Wolf.  We need a wolf somewhere, why not go to basics?

    Industrial: Beetle because it looks like a machine.

    Metalcore: Gorilla because growls and constant beating.

    Neoclassical: Lion because Arthurian Legend.

    Power: Eagle Fly FREEEEE.

    Prog: Monkey for taking an "intellectual" route.

    Sludge: Skunk.  Need I spray more.

    Speed: Horse, obvious, right?

    Stoner: Elephants, the pink kind.

    Symphonic: Mockingbird because they have often inspired classical pieces.

    Thrash: Vulture because a vulture is a very metal animal.

    Viking: Bear because of Norse legends of this spirit animal granting strength.

  21. Two related questions about making and posting lists

    in Questions & Answers

    Alrighty then, this has taken a DeviantArt forum turn...

    OK, since I share at least a little responsibility for making the thread, I should throw my two cents in.  It's true that thrash metal is still being made, but there really isn't much of a scene beyond independent artists just carrying something strong on, not like there was in 80's Cali or in Canada.  Thrash isn't hated, it's just that the classics have rarely been replicated.

    Just gonna say it.  The last forum I was on wasn't that great because, unlike this place which answered my questions, the last thread's users went brutally off-topic right from the get-go.  But I got y answers and I'm really enjoying this conversation.  Just wanted to get that off my chest.

    Also, on the subject of whether or not certain thrash songs are good, let me admit that I kinda like this song from an otherwise meh album.
