Green & Wood

Another piece of slowly growing on me good shit, here's another underrated release from '09 by LA doom purists Green & Wood. If you take Pentagram, Witchcraft, and sprinkle in a little Melvins and Big Business you would come up with something close to Green & Wood. But even that doesn't really describe them thoroughly, there's also hints of psych and 70's prog arrangements that creep in from time to time. They're coming through Austin tonight, so I'm going downtown to tune in and probably trip out!
Enjoy...

Sleep

Still recovering from the blast-off I received by the hands of the legendary cult doom-stoner rockers Sleep Saturday night in Portland. I enjoyed what I remember anyway. They sounded so fucking good in fact that I'm posting Sleep's EP Volume 2 which was released in '92 after the band's seminal debut Volume One in '91. Only 1,000 copies were made, it has a rad live cover of Sabbath's "Lord of This World" and two early versions of "The Druid" and "Nain's Baptism" that would later appear on Sleep's Holy Mountain in '93. If you've never heard Sleep I suggest picking up their whole discography which is easy to find for fuck's sake. Sludgy psychedelic ear-popping doom, it doesn't get much better than this. Enjoy..

Saint Vitus

Brutal,heavy snail-paced power chords? Saint Vitus. One of the originators of killer doom metal? Saint Vitus. Loudest ear popping show I've ever heard at the Satyricon in Portland? Saint Vitus. Death, destruction, heavy alcohol consumption, psychedelic drugs and dragons? Saint Vitus. Living in L.A. during the 80's and giving the middle finger to all the shitty glam bands while staying true to their nostalgic doom sound? Saint fucking Vitus. I think you get the point. Grow some balls and put this in your earholes, this is what metal is supposed to sound like- Born Too Late from '87.
Thirsty And Miserable

Big Business

Bassist and singer Jared Warren, former member of Karp, and Coady Willis, former drummer for Murder City Devils team up to create this exploration into stoner sludgy metal with the band Big Business. Their debut Head For The Shallow released in '05 is like Karp with riffs, an original sound that is hard to believe only a two piece can achieve. All 8 tracks on the album rip, "Focus Pocus" and "Eis Hexe" are my personal favorites, here's the whole album. Play loud.
Sludge

Witch

Heavy self-titled debut by Witch from '06. Jay Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. on drums along with some hippies from Feathers. I know, I was also very skeptical but it has surprisingly grown on me. Here's the first two tracks off the album: "Seer" and "Soul of Fire." Pretty rad album cover also.

Acid King

Stoner sludge from San Fran's Acid King. Busse Woods was released in '99, one of their three studio albums. Acid King is led by hardcore front woman Lori S., she named this album after a park teenagers used to party at outside of Chicago where she grew up. Sounds familiar. Here's probably their best track "Electric Machine" off the album.

Om

Metal Monday brings a rad live album by Om titled Live Conference from last year. The album captures how good it is to see this band live, I've included the 21+ minute track "Flight of the Eagle." The album is a full live performance of their album Conference of the Birds and the sound quality is fantastic for a live metal album.

Electric Wizard

It's metal Monday here at furltracks, got up this morning and instantly started blasting some stoner sludge metal to get my day started. Here is some of that sludgy goodness, "Vinum Sabbathi" and "We Hate You" by Electric Wizard. These tracks are off 2000's Dopethrone, a killer doom metal album out of England. Electric Wizard's snail paced guitars and heavy chords brings an intensity and density that separates this band from the rest of the doom metal genre. Their love for weed and everything evil really shines through on this album, play this real loud.
