Sea of Bones - The Harvest

From: USA
Year: 2007
Genre: Sludge/Doom

Sea of Bones are a sludge/doom metal band formed in 2005 in New Haven , CT, USA. They have drawn comparisons to Neurosis and Buried at Sea, but I feel like they manage to do their own thing while using both bands as starting points. Listening to this record is like having a nervous breakdown while being bludgeoned into a deep, dark coma. There are enough tempo changes between the occasional breaks for feedback induced drone to keep it interesting, a problem that many bands in this genre struggle with. They’re getting ready to do some shows around New York and Philadelphia, so if you’re in the area head out and have your eardrums turned to gelatin.

Ahab - The Call of the Wretched Sea

     From: Germany Year: 2006 Genre: Doom 

This thing is fucking monolithic. Everything about this album is just massive. From the reverb filled production. To the deep from the pits of the ocean vocals. This whole album is based around Herman Melville's literary masterpiece Moby Dick. As if you didn't need more of a clue the band is named Ahab for goodness sake. Nautically themed metal. Sign me up. The ocean is hardcore.

Fistula - We, The Beast Ep

   From: United States Year: 2009 Genre: Sludge, Doom 

This is some seriously upbeat and happy music. I think you just might want to play this at your neighbor's next cookout. Or maybe your friend's wedding. In all seriousness, this is some miserable ass down-tuned and pissed off sludge similar to Eyehategod, Cavity, Grief. You get the point. Its seriously great self-help music to curl up in a warm chair and read motivational books too. Or hit on a bong, get drunk, and pass out in a puddle of vomit. Either one is equally cathartic for people. Whatever floats one's boat I say.  As a bonus, they are from my current state of residence.  Ohio, specifically Cleveland.  So you know they are happy and fulfilled individuals.

Buried at Sea - Migration

 From: United States Year: 2003 Genre: Doom, Sludge, Drone  

Here's some sludge/drone/doom whatever the feck you call it. I call it slow and oppressive. No seriously that's the genre tag I gave it in itunes. Due in part to the fact that the music is A. Very slow and massive. Almost lumbering. B. Its oppressively heavy. Another thing I like about it is is their name. Buried at Sea. I feel that the sea and or the ocean are just metal as fuck. How much more metal can you get than the ocean? Storms, poisonous creatures, sharks, etc. I love nautically themed metal. Which may just be the theme for my next few posts if I feel like it. Check this shit out. Its great autumn music.

Belzebong - Sonic Scapes & Weedy Grooves

From: Poland
Year: 2011
Genre: Doom, Sludge

As you may have guessed by the use of both "bong" and "weed" in both the artist name and album title (and even in the song titles!!!), this is some bass heavy and doom-laden sludge in the vain of other artists who probably also have bong or weed somewhere in their titles as well. However what you may have not guessed is that this shit is from Poland . . . so go figure-->>
