Iāve probably listened to dopesmoker by sleep 1,000 times. I used to listen to it every day at night when I would get home from work.
I love king diamond and mercyful faith, they donāt get enough credit in America. I read that the reason the band broke up was their record deal was so shitty king diamond went solo just to make more money. That broke my heart we could have had like 5 more mercyful faith albums.
Check out spirit adrift. They arenāt stoner rock per se but they had the mid tempo heavy rock/grief style down with quality clean vocals.
I started listening to Metal when Metallicas āRide the Lightningā came out. I am and always will be kind of old school when it comes to my Music. My Faves are:
Venom
Old Celtic Frost
Motorhead
āKill em allā era Metallica
80ās Slayer
AC/DC
Ozzy era Black Sabbath
All Godflesh
Also love my Punk rock:
Misfits
Minor Treat
FEAR
Sex Pistols
The Damned
Some other ones I really like:
Church of Misery
High on fire
BackSlider
Beastmaker
Corrosion of Conformity
Iron Monkey
lair of the minotaur
Satanās Saytars
If there are any of those bands you have not heard of I suggest you check them out. They are all great.

I just burned through some vale of pnath. They check all the boxes for me. Guitar sweeps check, death vocals, multiple guitar solos on every track check, black metal backing vocals, bolero parts, classical guitar. This shit is nuts. I think blacker than even has glockenspiel. Good get dude. This is going in the rotation.

My kids daycare called me one day and they are like your daughter keeps singing this song thatās like I need your skull I want to put it on my wall. We just felt like we should tell you sheās not in trouble. I just hung up the phone and threw horns in the mirror.

Brutal thread man. This griz thrashes to the symphony of brutality and the girls in the tent get their daily dose of Megadeth and Slayer.
My best plants are off the peace sells album.
And dystopia is looking like another winner.
As for the supremely heavy I turn to Entombed, left hand path.
I love a bit of five finger death punch to get through five oāclock traffic.
Iāve gotta give mention also to the adult swim show metalocalypse.
yeah this is good shit good recommend

Gets my highest recommendation, lace the albums if you can the pacing is really good.
The touring band of metalocalypse is fucking dope. They have gene hogan from death on drums. Like I consider them a great band.

So I was listening to this the other day, I bet king diamond listened to the screamy part at the end and was like if I make the whole song this part it will melt face. Then he formed merciful faith in rural Scandinavia.
Also lol at downing dressed like heās in leneard skynard
lmao merciful FATE , gene HOGLAN.
Heās definitely one of my favourite drummers. Has so many styles.
Sweet! I was thinking over the weekend that I should make this thread so kudos to who was the that did that.
I myself love all kind of music but metal and itās sub genres are have been a huge favorite since I was a kid.
I was in a band in high school. We were like hardcore ābeatdownā styleā¦ I really enjoyed it but creative differences and hard drugs tore us apart while weāre recording our first EP deal with a small label. I definitely miss those old days hearing people sing my lyrics back to me and jumping into crowds.
These days I donāt go to a lot of shows but I want to start again. Thereās a venue about a mile down the road but there schedule doesnāt have anything great coming up. Suicide Silence was there in December but I had to work.
@BloodyAxe I totally agreeā¦ Psychedelics and metal shows arenāt PB&J! Also agree with the Meshuggah opinion. Lol
@Swayze Iām surprised I didnāt see Red Fang on that list. We should formally a band named The Swayze Express! 
Sorry bro Iām not the speller, I know itās irritating.
Dude get back in the game. With people recording into laptops you donāt even have to be in the same place as the rest of the band. Thereās never enough good metal drummers.
Kolias is awesome. Nile is hit or miss live but heās always super tight.
they are rad as fuck! seem em onceā¦ but like i said the list goes on and on haha
