Damn, how did I miss this thread. I've gotta give a lot of these bands a listen.

I'm loving Kyuss, QOTSA, Desert Session, and Fatso Jetson.


Fatso Jetson (to my surprise) i don't think have been mentioned in this thread. To all my stoner rock friends, listen to Fatso Jetson. I suggest Cruel and Delicious or Stinky Little Gods. I have a feeling many of you will appreciate it. These guys are very close with the palm desert/josh homme stoner rock genre.

Lord By Fire's album Sword is good stuff.

I've been listening to two pretty cool stoner records a whole lot lately.


Blessed Be by Fireball (a buncha girls from Brooklyn making a loud crunchy racket) and


And Then What by ST37 (a buncha old folks from Texas making a mess of crazy psychedelic noise).

I'm not much into it anymore but I used to be pretty heavy into Sheavy, Orange Goblin, Alabama Thunder Pussy, Nebula, Kyuss, Lowrider, Eternal Esyluim (Japanese), Brant Bjork's solo stuff, Unida, and Clutch.


I never got into Queens that much but I think they are killer musicians and can write some good grooves.

i would consider them stonerrock, i don't know what you'll think.

A 15 year bump!!!!

Is anyone from this thread still around?

I went from loving Drone, to getting really heavy into Black Sabbath…

But now I’m ALL IN on Sleep!!!

Everything since their reunion is fan-fucking-tastic and epic as fuck! I made a playlist of their two post-reunion singles and their 2018 album The Sciences and it says it’s an hour 20 minutes. Probably could’ve all gone on 1 insanely long album.

I love their album Dopesmoker as well. Saw they have a lime green cassette for it on Southern Lord’s website! Definitely want to grab that.

Besides these guys I do like the album Welcome to Sky Valley by Kyuss but haven’t heard much else by them.

I want to listen to Electric Wizard next specifically their album Dopethrone, then both of Sleep members other projects Om and High on Fire.

Anyone else here a fan of the stoner rock/metal genre? I just find it so damn relaxing and solid there’s nothing else I’d rather hear right now. Currently jamming to Sleep’s single The Clarity, what an epic track.

I know none of you responded yet, but if I may drop a hot take on Electric Wizard (Dopethrone)…. I have to turn it off due to the poor muddy mixing and raspy singing. Hurts my ears :(. Doubtful if I’ll be able to get into them if this is their primary sound. After going from everything Sleep has done to them I unfortunately just can’t. Makes it so apparent how much we take for granted carefully chosen guitar tones, proper mixing for your headspace, and clear singing.

This is part of the reason why I can’t listen to Deftones as much as I like. When I turn them up sometimes the mixing just hurts my ears. I can have Sleep at full volume and I don’t get anything in terms of ear pain. It’s just so full and meticulously planned out in terms of guitar tones and atmosphere.

dopethrone is dope but yeah its pretty raw, high on fire is cool more traditional metal than sleep, But yeah i really dig Kyuss and the projects that came after qotsa, etc. Also check out Fu Manchu there super rad
