Anyone a fan of this type of music? This genere is something I newly discovered. Awsome bands I have discovered include:

The obsessed

High on Fire

Electric Wizard

Karp

Mastadon

Their first 2 albums have some very weird and trippy moments to them via their guitar riffs and sound cuts etc. They have very very slow super heavy parts, trippy artwork, very busy drumming like you hear in bands like high on fire etc.

I just call most of that stuff rock and roll or metal.

Some of the cream of that crop are: Isis (ambient metal), Clutch (rock and roll), Yeti (prog metal), Mastodon (odd time metal), Kyuss (rock and roll), Keelhaul (odd time hardcore/metal), Mondo Generator (punkish hard rock), Mouth of the Arcitect (ambient metal), and Pelican (industrial/ambient metal)

I have heard good things about Monster Magnet, but I haven't checked them out yet.


Also, you can start with the originators of the genre, Black Sabbath. I dig the Ozzy years, but that is all I own by them.

All stoner/acid casualty bands are like a delicate flower in mid-bloom, gentle and innocent waiting to be incinerated by the hydrogen bomb echoplex that is COMETS ON FIRE.

I suppose they don't count thought, being that if anyone were to listen to them whilst stoned (especially their first album) they would no doubt be driven insane and begin a murderous rampage that would leave the nation gripped like canary in the cold, harsh trash compactor of fear.

Comets on Fire. are. tremendous.

You could Try "Catherdral" (Doom/Death metal)

Also if you want metal about getting stoned you could try "Exit 13" (albums include "Don't spare the Green Love" and "A Few More Hits" :p ) think Mr Bungle without the jazz bits

As for rock you might be able to find some "Tumbleweed" aussie pub band they have the stoner vibe

The Obsessed are amazing... I'd also second the Cathedral and Monster Magnet mentions.

My fav MM album is "Dopes to Infinity" they did the hippie thing full on with a better production style.

Stoner Rock is a pretty lame term, it's just the psycadellic rock revival more or less.. insert a bit more heaviness.

+ 450 billion!!!!!!!!!


Comets on Fire are probaly the best stoner band, they destroy anything that moves with a sonic wave of sound.

Clutch is a close second, they rock hard.
