sup dudes, as of recently i’ve been diving real deep into doom metal more and more but nothing is better than the other. Every band has that deep low tuning, but none of them have that true depth of sound of a soul of heaviness. I keep going back to electric wizards dopethrone album, you can say whatever you want about it but two songs will always stand out to me because of the sheer amount of crushing power it brings. Those songs would be Weird tales, and I,Witchfinder.
To start Weird tales, what makes this song so heavy isn’t that break to the slower original riff, but it’s the end after the feedback, the pure sound of despair and destruction of hatred as i hear it, the repetitive riff and drumming makes the end of the song so damn heavy. Now I,Witchfinder, the song is obviously heavy but it’s something you haven’t heard before, but a part that specifically catches my ear is the break that repeats itself with Jus repeating “I, the Witchfinder” makes it feel so turning, like Anakin Skywalker slowly turning to the dark side and resembling the painting of lucifer. Both of these songs stand out so much, no matter how far i go into the doom metal genre, these are one of a kind, but i want to hear what you guys think about these songs or the genre.

I want to know what you think the ultimate stoner rock album is and why everyone should get on board with it.

Mine is Tummuli Shroomaroom from Acrimony; just so, so, so, heavy and lush.

(...The prophecy is being fulfilled. Visions seen through the smoke and revelations were granted unto the highest of high weed-priests...)

Doomsmoker is MÖRK BORG adventure of the sacred smoke covenant delivering sacred herb bales to the Dying Lands from Nazareth to Jerusalem during an impending apocalypse.

For centuries, WEEDIAN priests have cultivated sacred plants and delivered herb bales across the Dying Lands. From the days of THE FIRST CULTIVATOR until now, they have travelled in caravans sharing both their botanical product and music as a part of their SMOKE COVENANT.

The Dying Lands are soon to be snuffed out, according to some scripture. Only a few more Psalms will be read until all is gone.

Crossing the Sand Sea has always been dangerous.  The pilgrimage is more deadly now as Scythians, heretic insects, and demons roam the desert.  

The weed-priests have enlisted the help of believers and mercenaries to help them cross the desert for what will be the last caravan of the SMOKE COVENANT to bring SMOKE and RIFFS to the land.

This adventure is written for MÖRK BORG .  It is written to be simple to play and enjoy, hopefully for seasoned RPG players and stoners alike. 

This adventure features:

• 60+ full color pages, many original illustrations
• Point-crawl through 7+ Locations across a dangerous SandSea
• 1 new Item type
• 10 new Scrolls (new scroll type: Smoke Scrolls)
• 3 new Classes
• 1 Dungeon
• 6 new Enemies
• 2 new Bosses
• Random tables for musical practice, meditations (visions), and atmosphere/weather
• Lore at the intersection of MÖRK BORG, SLEEP's album Dopesmoker and the culture of doom metal
• Tangible sense of DOOM and DREAD  as the world is ending

Original soundtrack coming soon from burgersmoke records.  Follow here or on various streaming platforms for updates:

Sooooo... this is as niche, and unimportant as it gets, but it has been nagging me for 5 years or so; and I guess this community would find it at least mildly amusing, and just mayyybe find some kind of possible answer.

I'm not even a fan of The Midnight Ghost Train, yet here I am. For context: TMGT is a southern rock/hard rock/stoner rock band. Heavy raspy voice, and just archetypical "trucker" kind of stoner (not an insult, as I like other bands with that same vibe, i.e. Shooting Guns). Have a go at their music, and you'll see what a I mean, I promise this is coming of a place of genuine curiosity.

So what's my surprise when listening to their Cypress Ave. record in 2020, that I hear just the most groovy song I've ever laid my ears upon. An inmediate 'Oh fuck, that is so fucking good... What the fuck I'm listening to.' I was flabbergasted, it was on the middle of the freaking album. "The Boogie Down" by The Midnight Ghost Train.

Had to double-check it wasn't a distribution issue. And it's not the case, everywhere, the same song file plays, and drives me further into confusion. Also, it does not seem to be a cover of any other song, blues standard, or jazz standard.

No "feat.", no additional credits, no change in their writing credits... nothing on Bandcamp, Reddit, comments, Facebook. In no other album of theirs, there is a single instance of even something remotely happening like it. My investigation led to nothing.

So as a first time caller, long time listener, I seek your insights. Does anyone had any kind of similar experience hearing this record? Do you know something we don't? The thing is I want to hear more of the people who made one of the most listened songs in my all-time playlist.

After all this years, I've entered resignation, and this may be my last effort to solve this personal mystery. Thank you all r/stonerrock.

I love Acid King and I’d really like to play their stuff on guitar, but what tuning does the singer/guitarist Lori S. use ? When I listen to their albums, it sounds like C Standard to me, but when I watch live videos, she uses very few power chords, so maybe it’s Drop D or Drop C maybe B? If anyone has a good ear and wouldn’t mind helping me out, I’d really appreciate it in advance !
