Metal!!!

I'm more doom/drudge/sludge metal: Sunn0))), Boris, Earth, Pharoah Overlord, Om, Nadja, etc. Don't mind me some proggy metal in the form of Pelican, Isis, and Red Sparowes, but that's less and less these days.

Last show was Om and it was deathly loud...amazing that a single guitar and drum kit can nearly blow your eardrums out.

Doom/sludge is the one type of metal I am not really into. I don't dislike it, it just not my thing.

Was going to ask if anyone was into stuff like this. I'm a fan of doom/drudge/drone stuff like Asunder, Ataraxie, Catacombs, Comatose Vigil, Saturnus, Until Death Overtakes Me, Colosseum, and Slumber. Isis is great too.

That's all stuff I'm not as familiar with, but I move slow.

not surprised, the only one from your list I've heard of is Sunn0))). There seems to be a ton of bands in this sub-genre. Maybe it's because anyone with a guitar and garage band can record a power-chord being held for 5minutes over white noise.

Yeah, there's definintely a lot of crap in this subgenre out there, but every now and then you come across something like Sunn0))) & Boris' Altar from last year, and you have a revelatory experience. I've been digging deep into Nadja/Aidan Baker this last year for just that reason...dude is ridiculously prolific (like 10-15 albums per year under various monikers) and each one is full of epic melodies that rip dark and dank-like. The recent split release he did with Atavist and Satori is a great example.
