Torche - s/t


Genre: Stoner, Doom, Psychedelic
Year: 2005
About: The debut album from Miami based stoner band Torche, it features driving rhythms and hypnotic riffs that draw you into a world of sludge only Torche could have crafted. This is not your typical doom album either, it's not "solely" suited for "stoners". Many of the songs are very melodic (save for Fuck Addict) and the vocals are sung in a clear, understandable way with low distortion. Torche perfectly blend the greatest aspects of doom metal with catchy and complexly written songs, resulting in one of your new favorite metal records.
Sounds Like: Mastodon, Baroness, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, 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
