Pelican - Australasia or the Pelican EP
Baroness - First EP

These are probably my favorite "heavy" albums, in a varied sense of the term. Do you mean heavy in terms of bass, like stoner rock, or some other conception of the word?

Zingoleb:
I don't entirely know exactly what I want. I know it's something heavy but nothing I can quite put a finger on.


You guys are awesome, you know that? I'm like, "I want (general)" and yer all like, "THEN YOU WANT (SPECIFIC)"

I'm keeping these all in mind.

casull:
maybe I should have described them somewhat. the first two are classic stoner rock, torche is... weird. it's fast, but very heavy. Bison is in the vein of mastodon and pelican but a little less avant-garde and a little more retro, I guess? Jesu is kind of shoegazey and pretty in the context of that list, but it has some amazing tones and textures if you have decent headphones. The angelic process sounds like... stars being born. it sounds like the universe being stretched to the breaking point. the sunn/boris collaboration is droneish, much slower paced than anything else on that list. lots of cool drumming on that album. Pelican... I think of pelican as the earth screaming as it wakes up after the winter, which interestingly enough, one of the album titles actually implies. It's slow, downtuned post-something. that baroness EP is short and sweet- 15 minutes, 3 songs. Awesome riffage. probably the most head-banging of anything I listed.

hope that helps.

Christophe:
and if you like some chime and prog with your heavy.

For all-out heaviness, I would recommend Sleep.
