Maybe someone can help me out, I'm looking to not expand my musical horizons, but more to find more music in the same vein as a few of my favorites. There is a very specific sound and structure implicit in all of these songs that I am looking for.

AMT's "Pink Lady Lemonade", especially the early parts when the locked riff is playing at various  intensities, with the accompaniement ebbing and flowing around it.

Boris "Flood 1" , "Flood 2" , and "Feedbacker part 2". Specifically the parts with a strong yet clean sounding lead guitar, playing a very heady psychadelic solo.

Mogwai's first song off their first album, "Yes! I am a long way from home" I like mogwai, but this is their only song ive heard that really blows me away. (I have Rock Action, Come on Die Young, and Young Team)

The Grateful Dead's "Death don't have no mercy", especially the solos around 5 minutes into the Live/Dead version.


reccomend me something that I'm sure to love.

I like calling then Stoner Metal, although some of their work can be called Drone.
Try Oxbow, Melvins, Jesu, Kyuss, Cult Of Luna, Down, Electric Wizard, Burning Witch for Stoner. And SunnO))) and Jesu for Drone.

hm, stoner metal would be more Flood 3, Feedbacker parts 1, 3, and 4....the tracks i mentioned are less raw feedback and more just really long notes, or repetitive riffing.

I hate-hate-hate Absolutego album, Sunn o))) fails to impress me, and Sleep's Dopesmoker is only good as a farce to me.

edit: but im gonna check out some of those bands, ill let you know how it works out.

[Storm Rider]

Sleep's Dopesmoker is only good as a farce to me.

Whoa now.

Whoa now.

Haha, I knew that would set you guys off.

edit(wtf I should probably just make sure I say everything the first time i post): It's ok if im really, really, really, really high. I know this because I'm 15 minutes into the song right now and like it this time through.

edit2: the solos are good, but I'm not into the 10 minute chugging on a single chord... or the redneck vocals.

Jesu are really really good.

Try some Rosetta and Callisto if you haven't already.

[Misereatur]

Sunn o))) fails to impress me.

What?

[jariku]

I lost interest in Sunn O))) after seeing them live (with Attila Csihar and John Wiese, no less). Don't get me wrong, Flight Of The Behemoth is still my favorite of the drone doom genre, but their stuff after that gets boring after one listen or faster.

Maybe I'm just still upset that they didn't perform with the volume a drone doom act would require to be interesting live.

[Misereatur]

Every SunnO))) concert is loud enough to fuck up your ears for good.
Anyway, SunnO))) are still one of my favorite bands, and Stephen O'Malley is my favorite drone musician (and a very nice guy).
Maybe you'll like Cult Of Luna's self titled album.

[TrueNeutral]

I've never seen them live, and I don't own any of their albums, but I've heard some things about how loud they are. Seriously, how loud would they have to be to satisfy you?

I saw SUNN0))) after taking LSD.  I had to leave 5 minutes before the set ended (at the time, of course, I had no idea that I'd lasted as long as I had ... I could tell the concert ended when I stopped feeling vibrations in my lower back a block and a half away).  To this day I'm still glad I stayed firmly in the very back row of pews (they were playing a church).

You should definitely check out OM, the new project by Sleep's bassist and drummer.  Also, try Dead Meadow ... I think you'd be best served by getting the debut self-titled, but "Howls from the Hills" is a bit heavier and might be more up your alley ... for that matter either of the two more recent releases might do it too, I really don't know.  But check 'em out.

You might also really get into 35007 or Colour Haze.  And from a different direction you might want to try Pelican.

And here's a shot in the dark: Jack Rose.  He's an acoustic guitarist (no singing or anything) but a lot of his stuff somehow inexplicably reminds me of the feeling I tend to get from the music you've mentioned and the stuff I've recommended.  Try it out.

[tehjiggles]

I really  like Jesu, Electric Wizard, and the Melvins now. Still working on building up my knowledge of the discographies, but I could tell immediatly the songs have considerable depth.

But the parts I mentioned were not the "heaviest", and people seem to overlook the blues influence. I'm more asking about the psychadelic rock aspects of the songs, the howling solos, and the heady light tones. Not the crushing parts more commonly associated with stonermetal.

[Will]

I am going to start recommending Doomriders to everyone...so, yeah...Doomriders

[mbelassie]

Sounds like Isis are one of these bands too, try the track 'Beginning and the End'.
