PLEASE LIST GOOD/GREAT DOOM/BM/DRONE/SHOEGAZE/AMBIENT/EXPERIMENTAL/WHATEVS BANDS[views:3934][posts:33]________________________________ [Oct 22,2008 11:42pm - Murph ""] I have been listening to a lot of really stripped down Black metal, a lot of droney stuff, and I'm looking for more bands in the nerve of Mouth of the Architect, Giant, Agalloch, Darkthrone, old Dimmu, Burzum, Callisto, Thou, Conifer...as you can see, I am painting with broad strokes. Help a kneegrow out. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 22,2008 11:51pm - the_reverend ""] Callisto? must be a different band from the power metal on. you want shoegazing fo' real? what about space rock? molasses is awesome stuff. I suggest just putting in slowdive/slowdive and then mellow out. |

I suggest just putting in slowdive/slowdive and then mellow out. yeah, I'm talking about Callisto from Finland. They are awesome. as far as shoegaze stuff, I'm thinking things more on the drone side, not the alternative, early-90's Jesus&Mary Chain, Dino Jr spin off stuff. Recently I've been in love with sound. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 12:01am - the_reverend ""] ha! I found that callisto on my computer. a minor forest, azusa planes (burnt hair), americana analog set, angels of unlight, auburn lull (ftw!), mohogany, bethany Curve (somone on this board turned me on to them), the sound track to the movie dutch harbor, codeine, damon & naomi, windy and carl, low, dead voices on air, eluvium, garrison, gluestick's 2nd album. I don't feel like looking through my mp3s anymore. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 12:13am - the_reverend ""] gluestick's 2nd CD is one of the best CDs around. space rock mixed with dino jr. it's fucking awesome. |

| _______________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:09pm - aril ""] stripped-down black metal/ambient/shoegaze kings right now, to me, is Darkspace. check them out. it's somewhat hard to actually find their albums, but I think soundcave has them (or used to). Regardless, you can download it. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] JESU Godspeed You, Black Emperor! |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:11pm - brian_dc ""] Checking out We're From Japan right now...pretty decent |
| _____________________________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:16pm - New dip shits on the block ""] What the fuck is a shoegaze? |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:16pm - orgymf@work ""] have you ever heard the only good quality song my old band "Maggot Feast" ever recorded. doomy and satanic. check it www.myspace.com/maggotfeast666 |
| _______________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:21pm - aril ""] the term shoegaze was originally coined in england in the late 80s-early 90s I believe. most of the musicians in the bands were droned the fuck out and would remain somewhat motionless, hence gazing at their shoes. i believe, now, it's just a generic term for any drone-type bands. but yea, gaze at your shoes when you're tripping out and you'll understand. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:23pm - brian_dc ""] lately, I've heard the explanation added that so much of it is effects oriented that you actually look like you're staring at your shoes to an audience. more likely drugs though |
| _______________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:31pm - aril ""] as far as that band Darkspace goes, let me try to explain what they sound like: first off, don't expect unbelievable production. the production isn't that great, but it's fucking awesome and adds to the atmosphere. they primarily focus their music/ideals on space, so you can assume how ambient it is. they have a lot of ambient key parts, but when the blackmetal kicks in, it throws you right into a trance. their music bombards the walls of my consciousness and attacks my subconscious to a point where you're feeling in a trance-like state. if you like darkthrone, if you like shoegaze, if you like space-like ambience, then I HIGHLY recommend anyone of their releases. I believe they have their 1st demo or release available on their webpage. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:33pm - aril ""] also, they are friends with one of my favorite bands, Lunar Aurora - a german BM band. Lunar Aurora's "Zyklus" album is almost the same way. again, one of the best trance-inducing black metal albums ever. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:57pm - quintessence ""] holy shit aril, we need to hang out. You listen to like everything I do. Also Dwyer's recommondations are great. Some newer shoegaze stuff that i LOVE is Grouper, from Oregon. Its a 1 women project by the name of Liz Harris and its awesome. Everyone should check out "dragging a dead dear up a hill" |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:58pm - quintessence ""] Oh and how can you mentnion darkspace without mentioning the amazing Paysage D'hivar |
| __________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:59pm - darkwor ""] Njiqahdda is similar to Darkspace imo, check em out http://www.myspace.com/njiqahdda |

| _______________________________ [Oct 23,2008 3:09pm - aril ""] I love Paysage D'hivar and Njiqahdda. yea Frank, I don't live too, too far from PVD. about 25 min. plus, I always see you at our shows. awesome that you guys know of Darkspace though. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 23,2008 3:10pm - aril ""] have not heard Grouper. Interested. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 24,2008 4:56pm - aril ""] MURPH, any luck or what |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 29,2008 11:18am - the_reverend ""] ___________________________________ [Oct 23,2008 2:21pm - aril] the term shoegaze was originally coined in england in the late 80s-early 90s I believe. most of the musicians in the bands were droned the fuck out and would remain somewhat motionless, hence gazing at their shoes. the musicians were socially awkward and would be uncomfortable on stage so they would just stare at their shoes (feet pointing inward). see my bloody valentine. |
