I only got into these guys retrospectively through Gene Hoglan on SYL City, but I think it goes some way to illustrating that many new bands try to fix what ain't broke. Just ******* thrash the **** out.
 
I am after some recommendations from those into doom and sludge.

I'm not much of a metal guy at all as I have mentioned - the things I really am not into are screechy black vocals, extensive high pitched guitar solos and over the top drumming/blast beats.

What I do like is raw, deep, doomy, slow and heavy. As most who read this might know - I like stuff like swans and melvins so metal that has that vibe is stuff I'd like to check out a bit. I'm also a fan of early UK punk and some bits of crust and grind. I don't mind a wee bit of stoner vibe like early Sabbath but really after that heavy, down tempo detuned shit with less vocal content and minimal solo/metal wank/satan salute vibe.

Will listen to anything at least once.
 
Revisit Electric Wizard's Dopethrone if you haven't done so recently.

Or this, your call:

Dopethrone is dope.

I should buy it.

Listening to darkthrone; Blaze in the northern sky and reminding myself of exactly what I dislike about loads of Black. I feel like Gollum is angrily playing guitar about 3 blocks away because someone ate all his biscuits.

Should make it clear too - any recommendations, particularly classic/seminal bands of note. I don't own any sludge* or doom stuff - just like what I hear a lot of the time and wouldn't mind expanding.

*melvins excluded: own a fair whack of that.
 
try Minsk.
their album "With echoes.." reminds me of later Swans.

also, Yob. heavier but more direct.
 
Yob's good especially since i can get hops from him too. Enjoying what I hear from Sleep.

Probably need a touch of sunn0))in my life too.

Totally not what I'm looking for but actually quite cool and could find a place on my record shelf with hank III and Tiger Lillies
 
Minsk is a good call.

The first Cathedral album is a good gateway to this sort of thing. Contained in the liner notes is a massive list of Doom bands circa 1991-92 that will keep you going for a while

Indian
Khanate (member of Sunn0))))
Cough
Keelhaul
Toner Low
Fattura Della Morte (Sydney EHG worship)
Whitehorse (Melbin)
Weedeater (southern sludge)
Sourvein (Liz from Electric Wiz was/is a member)
Kowloon Walled City
The first 2 High on Fire albums.

Explore and enjoy!
 
Cheers guys. Will slowly check all this stuff out. Recently ordered some eyehategod and just placed an order for Buzzov-en's first album as I've not minded their stuff that I've heard.
 
Seven Sisters of Sleep are grabbing my attention of late. Perhaps a littler faster than what it seems you're after (?) but still relevant.
 
Hey Manticle, I don't think anyone takes Darkthrone seriously. I always used to think they did their logo with an eyedropper full of ink and blowing through a straw to steer it over paper, just like in kindergarten.
 
And again, Manticle, is it way too obvious to ask if you are aware of Comets on Fire?

ED: oooh, ooh, or Saint Vitus?

ED II: or even Neurosis?

I have certain difficulties to deal with, I suppose, but, on the whole (no pun intended), I generally think life is pretty good.

Then posts like the above go an ruin that little charade.[/

Haha, glad I could be of service. Would you prefer FIDLAR or Slayer? Seriously though I hope you feel better, sorry to Bum you out.

Don't worry about being obvious. Even if I've heard a band, I'll check them out again.

Only one from your list I'm familiar with is neurosis and I haven't heard any for a while (and was probably in a different mindset when I last did)..

Currently listening to Buzzove-en: at a loss and glad I've got some of this coming my way.
