Melvins - The Maggot

Genre: Sludge
Year: 1999
About: This band really showed their teeth with this release, the first part of a trilogy. The consensus is that this is their heaviest offering to date, and I'm not disagreeing! The monster riffage on this album will knock you on your ass. This is heavy and drags along at a grooving pace, just like great SLUDGE should be. Murky.
Sounds Like: Big Business, Harvey Milk, Boris, Sleep

Om Discography

Genre: Stoner, Doom, Psychedelic
About: Om formed in 2003 out of the rhythm section of Sleep, with music similar in structure to Tibetan chanting. In 2007, the band played a set in Jerusalem that lasted over 5 hours, which marked a first for a Doom Metal band performing in a very religious country. This is true bong-ripping music, with most tracks lasting well over 15 minutes and each consisting of addicting riffs and heavy, driving drums. Just listening to Om with a focused mind is enough to get you high.
Sounds Like: Electric Wizard, Burning Witch, Sleep, Shrinebuilder, Zoroaster

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

Genre: Stoner, Doom
Year: 2000
About: Filled with eerie samples from old horror b-films, this masterpiece of stoner metal epitomizes the genre. The riffs are heavy. The vocals echo with lost hope. The songs are carried along by monster riffs that put you into a manic trance. Old tube amp distortion brings back vintage Sabbath to the mind, whilst the songwriting gives it a more fresh edge. This is the soundtrack to the sound of bongs a-bubbling. LET IT REVERBERATE IN YOUR SKULL.
Sounds Like: Black Sabbath, Orange Goblin, Acid King, Bongzilla
