The Doom Metal Bassist Thread

[Deluge Of Sound]

Any news about this? I'm dying to hear it too.

EDIT: Surfed the net a lil' bit and found out that the album is recored and now the mastering, artwork, etc. needs to be done and voila! They're even having their first show soon.

Yeah, I'm hoping it'll be incredible, even though I haven't really liked any of Wino's other bands...

Anyone here a fan of punk or some of the punkier Doom bands out there? From what ive seen on the internet most Doom/Stoner/Sludge(though id imagine most Sludge fans would like hardcore) fans love punk. So anyone else a fan? Im a huge lover of Crust, early Grind, and 80s Hardcore.

I tend to agree but I saw The Hidden Hand with Cephalic Carnage and Mastodon a few years back and they were awesome. Made me like The Hidden Hand alot more.

Anyone here use a fretless? They sound pretty badass if your using them in some Psychadelic or Stonery stuff. Also does anyone know any Doom bands with bass players that use fretless basses? I remember finding a couple bands with double basses, they werent that audible though.

Wormwood: Link Removed, though it seems like the fretless has little effect on the ambience.


That's what I'm doing with my solo project'ish thing though, lots of fretless bass and lots of distortion. Fretless + sliding chords + fuzz / distortion = epic win.

Sad news that Abdullah is calling it quits.

 

[DoomandHeavy]

That sucks about Abdullah, ive listened to Wormwood before and dont love it. Also good luck on your project, sounds badass.

 

[Tired_Thumb]

Wormwood always seemed to do everything for sake's sake, defeating any "sake" the music had, just my own meager opinion.

Bongripper are great too, their bassist posts on this forum quite alot but can't remember his name/handle atm

Ron Now is his TB name, I don't know his real name though. Kick ****ing ass bass player though. I need to re order a copy of hippie killer, I gave mine to a friend to check out. He liked it so much that I gave it to him.

 

[Joe Gress]

Oh yeah, and Bassenstien's band is pretty damn good as well. Now to get him to make an album.

 

[DoomandHeavy]

I remember him posting up a Bongripper song, and it was amazing. Anyone know any Doomy bands that use a chapman stick?

Eventually we will. We seem to be soo lazy though ha.
Yall can PM me for a download link for our old crusty demo.

EDTI: and BTW thanks alot for the kind words

You guys know any bands that use keys or synths? I know Neurosis, Rwake, and Type O, have full time key players but i cant think of anything else.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Minsk and Rwake both use synths.

Anyone else here listen to Sofa King Killer?

 

[Fnord Explorer]

When I think of the heaviest doom band ever, I think of Tyranny's Bleak Vistae album. Criminy that's the slowest, sludgiest album I ever heard. The drummer must have his click set to 64th notes to be able to keep time.

 

[DoomandHeavy]

Any fans of Funeral Doom here?

 

[MaskedJackal]

How's abouts Jerry Orne from Warhorse? Those guys are HEAVY, and he uses a Ric!

Also, Winter. Just got their double-album rerelease. Doom-death pioneers, I believe.

I love Skepticism, but that's really the only band I know from that subsubsubsubgenre. I regularly list a bunch of doom/stoner bands for people to check out 'round here, but my favourites are probably Electric Wizard, Ufomammut, and Acid Bath. Of course I've also worshipped Black Sabbath for as long as I can remember, how can any fan of doom not love the inventors of the genre?

Also, hi. I'm hoping to work more on my solo doom project this year because I have ignored it for quite some time, and last I was not doing just that it began to lose focus from the main goal: The Riff.

I thought about turning it into a band, but I don't really know any doom type drummers, and I already have two gigging bands as it is, so therefore lack the time anyhow. Maybe some day.

 

[DoomandHeavy]

I recently went on a Doom spending spree( which is odd since us Doomy folk are quite poor) and picked up some great Doom and Stoner albums.
Broken Glass-Crowbar(gotta relisten to this as i dont remember most of it)
Witchcult Today-Electric Wizard, this thing is godly except for the stupid ambient song.
Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1-Helloween, not Doom in the slightest but it kicks ass.
Iron Will-Grand Magus, Hard rocking Heavy/Doom Metal
Surrounded by Thieves- High on Fire, really good album. Reminds me of Motorhead.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Surrounded By Thieves is absolutely incredible.
