Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part Ten - What is this thread about again?
- Thread starter Lazarus.Bird

I have a friend down there. I know there is a big death metal scene, as well as a bunch of annoying scene kid deathcore bands (yuck). Confused Little Girl is from Orlando, awesome band. Played with them when they are on tour and they are good friends with my old band (and probably father of fires). Floor/Torche is Miami rooted. Don't know about the actual scene though.
It seems to me that Florida has historically had zero for a heavy music scene. Torche moved to ATL, and I'm pretty sure Brass Castle is in Portland now. Can't think of another active heavy band from the sunshine state. Forgive me if I'm wildly misinformed or outdated but that's been my impression for 20 years.
It seems the warmer it gets the less likely you are to have heavy bands...maybe latin america is the exception, but they are just crazy.

Kinda got that feeling. What's there to be doomy about with sunshine & bikini chicks?

My brain remembers them from my punk days but they could have easily not been. I may have to dig out my old mix tapes!

Why do you think MD/DC/WV/PA are so jam packed? We hate everything and life sucks donkey balls.

My homeboy Troy is on the Gibson. He used to play in Hardcore punk band Holy Mountain amongst others. Don't tell me about heavy and Florida. Fort Meyers might suck, but Tampa is where it's at. Bands like Fatal, Nazi Dust, Sorcerer, Murder Suicide Pact, Volcanic Slut, and Thrillhoes are playing heavy. Not necessarily slow, but there are plenty of dudes that like the sludgey.

WHOA. No heavy bands from Florida? Maybe not stoner/doom bands, but there are a lot of amazing death metal bands from there.
Cannibal Corpse, Death, Decide, Atheist, The Absence, Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel, Iced Earth, Cynic, etc. Death Metal was practically founded in Florida. Also, Georgia is not far from Florida, and they have a killer sludge scene.

Maybe you should move to Florida and start a Disney-themed sludge band, I dont think I've seen one of those yet.
That's cool. I saw them back when they were touring for this first album. Still have one of their shirts that on the back says "TOTAL ****ING ANNIHILATION" or something like that. Great shirt to walk the dog around my neighborhood in haha
It's because we're all on speed. Can't handle the slow. Need fast and manic. Seriously. This is why.
So I'm going to try to re-incorporate my Big Muff Pi pedal into my setup. I haven't used it in forever, and never used it with what is now my rig.
Anyone use this one? It isn't the Bass Big Muff.
