Cool album, I really need to listen to more Gong/planet gong and Steve Hillage in general.

Anything from the trilogy is a candidate for trippiest sound around!

Yes man! Only a matter of time before a fellow Ozrics fan chimed in....been with them since tape days, their highs and lows, but Brandi's playing with them heralded a great return to form....esp. "Mooncalf"...and gorgeous to boot :)

Glad to see another here!

Early days eh? I was there at the Crypt in Deptford (still have my membership card) when they only had a couple of tapes :) My mate is a good friend of Ed, and still is, so I've been lucky enough to hang outa few times and share a spliff or several backstage.

Eds released a new album this year, which is well worth a listen - he's still got it!
If you also liked the ullulators, you should really check out what Gavin has been up to too - he has released some amazing stuff lately - check out bandcamp for his stuff.

Take care, fellow old person! :) hehe :)

Heady days they were, great craic! Will check that out.... Happy trails man....

Cant have psychedelic rock thread and have no Ozric Tentacles? I've righted that wrong! Hope some of you enjoy!

Lucky to see them few times. At a free (illegal) festy at Wycombe common, had several micro dots and thought I was watching floyd circa saucers era, wow, a very colourful memory.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

:)

Never not be a fav one of mine. awesome to have a smoke alongside

Hi, new member hope you dont mine me Tagging on.

Big fan of these at the moment, very pink floyd

Nice. Post away :) Guitars Matter !

Tool - Third Eye

Love a bit of Monster Magnet! Think you can consider them stoner rock!

100% Stoner Rock

the mars volta la via la vieques

At the drive are my fave ultra loud band, saw Mars Volta twice in Portsmouth, wow brutal gig.

I would love to have seen Mars Volta.. Seen At The Drive in a couple of times. Once at Reading festival a long time ago (think I saw Sparta there aswell), and caught them at Cochella around 2012. Still, loud, mental and awesome.

No idea how far back I'm commenting here. Just wanted to express my solidarity re: ATDI. The summit of early Emo, beyond which lay only death (and Mars Volta).

I hit play on Sunday morning... perfect track.

Saw these guys around Christmas, had a crafty smoke beforehand of course. Fantastic. Heavy as fuck.

Oh man, gotta have that crafty smoke before live music, it’s the only way. Awesome band too.

This is probably my favourite track off the new Lowrider album.

Nice and fuzzy. Happy smoking!

Thanks for introducing to this band mate!

Me too!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nuclear fusion.

Check out the crazy microtonal fret spacing on the guitars!

White Denim - Drug

Haven't spotted any Moon Duo on here yet. Lots of tracks to choose from. And properly intense live too

I think you might enjoy Devil's Witches mate.

Oh nice one man, love it. Those down tuned guitars are like the audio version of a heavy Indica haha. Cool video as well, thanks.

Just found this from that Devil's Witches song, I dig it a lot.

I digging this to my friend! Awesome sound.

I agree mate glad you stumbled across it as well! I love it when I get a comment on one of these songs and I get to listen to them again.. some of them I forget about, it's a nice surprise. :D

Me too, love the way it builds.

khruangbin - maria tambien

Man I'm just jamming now, love this channel

Yeah mate 100% agree, KEXP are representing all the best music at the moment.

Preach! The drummer in this one gets me every time, he is really in to it.

Yeah what a channel! Nice, Just smoking my Friday afternoon fatty to this :)

Sounds like a good time, I'm right there with ya. What you smoking on?

Nice, I’m back on the 0.0. So smooth, I just ordered some more.
What you on at the moment?

Heard so many good things about the 0.0, hows the high? Got a little mixture of G13, Guava Dawg and Grape Ape, very sweet flavour to them.

It sounds like you’ve got a sweet shop!
The 0.0 has got a real nice quality to it, it doesn’t send me into space or anything it just gives me a real nice lift that leaves me happily lazy, very hard to leave it alone.

Haha I know, still in awe of all these strains man. Ah that sounds like a lovely little treat indeed.

I dig this a lot, great song to start your day to :D

This album is great. Found it on my YouTube rec's last year, proper Sky Valley vibes.

Haha great analogy.

Adding more Elder to the list,

Their new album is dry, but this 18 minute kraut rock inspired jam from last year's Silver & Gold Sessions is a screaming banger.

Get your smoke on and enjoy biggas!

Some Swedish vibes for ya.
Gothenburg space rock

Asteroid from Orebro

Siena Root from Stockholm
A bit more psych here and there.

Stuck in motion from Enkoping
Laid back psychedelic blues

And for those of you into more proggy sounding stuff From Reykjavik, Iceland. Lucy in blue a fine band to chill to (superb live).

This is cool. Evi Vine, Sabbath.

Not rock but stoner music none the less

Likewise

Sweet cover! \m/ \m/

So many good bands on this link, I loved some of the early Monster Magnet and of course Black Sabbath are great. If you haven't heard of Elder they are good. As they've progressed they've really got some mellow flows.

Hadn’t heard of Elder but awesome, love that SG sound.

Also, listen to Chowder - Passion Rift album...can't find much on youtube but it's worth getting.

Black sabbath is in my opinion the greatest fucking band ever.

Found these guys recently, sound like the melvins mixed with jimmy hendrix

Love Sabbath and loving Slift too, saw them posted on reddit while back! Increidble ! Prob my fav find of the year so far.

I thought about Gong, Hawkwind and all the possible candidates.
But I think this track by Ash Ra Tempel featuring Timothy Leary is another level.

Dead Meadow, Earth, Loop, Spacemen 3, Nothing, BJM, Flying Saucer Attack, Black Mountain, The Black Angels, Sleep

Off the top of my head.

Deftones, Tool and Pantera all day long 💯❤️

I'll second that,deftones tool pantera to name a few,90s and 2000s metal/rock for me 🤘

The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasn’t so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.

Preach bro 💯

Sorry dude didn’t mean to offend anyone. Just didn’t personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.

Oh no man I’m with you on the LB thing bro, loved Korn though 😎

Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.

I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.

yes but thrash, osdm, 1st wave black metal and the list goes on. So quite a different list but yeah I'm a metalhead

Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.

No I do just lower down on my list. Celtic frost absolutely genius band although there was a time they were called death metal

Or even avant-garde?

Fucking love Slayer. Almost find it romantic.

That is the best comment I’ve read. Ever!! It’s fucking brilliant mate!!!🤘

Meshuggah, Sikth, CB Murdoc, all for if you like something properly, properly heavy.

Alcest is love :D

Alcest is true love. I finally see them in October!! Yippee!!!

Dimmu borgir , Old mans child and dissection for me M8 .... Ave satanas

Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.

sorgens is one of my fave tracks pity m8 i love most of their stuff although my fave albums are Puritanical and In sorte. stormblast will always hold a special place in my heart..

Didnt know this band tahnks :)

does screamo count

Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if they’re Screamo bands?

I'm mid-forties now and grew up on bands like Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head and NIN. I've always been into other stuff as well but it's what I mostly listened to during my teens and twenties.

I don't listen to metal as much as I used to however I've found the old adage that your tastes mellow with age to be untrue in my case. I listen to some much heavier, more extreme bands than I used to and I'm much more open to sub genres I wouldn't have considered before.

My current favourite heavy listen is Lullabies for Eternal Sleep by Apes. Hadn't heard of them until I read a brief review that described that EP as being sort of like post-metal if all the quiet bits were replaced with nasty grindcore. One listen and I'd bought the tracks off Bandcamp. The first track, Cornwall, is savage but has such an amazing groove too.

If you like blackened stuff then check out Apes' earlier album, Lightless. Different to the latest material but still bloody good.

I pretty much listen to every metal track thrown at me with passion :D.
I love albums in every genre.
Some of my favorites bands are Decapitated, Dimmu Borgir, TBDM, born of osiris, meshuggah, lamb of god, well theres too much really ^^..

Metal is definitely a way of life.

Recently i've been listening to the Nomad album by Kublai Khan (insane tone/sound) and a gradual decline in moral by Kim Dracula, pretty strange shit but i love it haha.

1."Reign in Bud" - Slayer (A stoner metal twist on Slayer's classic "Reign in Blood")

2."Black Sabbath's Munchies" - Black Sabbath (Featuring their heaviest hits to satisfy the munchies)

3."Master of Bongs" - Metallica (An epic blend of metal and cannabis-inspired anthems)

4."Weed the Lightning" - Megadeth (Thrashing through the green haze with high-intensity riffs)

5"Paranoid and Paranoider" - Black Flag (A punk-infused, paranoia-inducing masterpiece for the metalheads who like to keep it raw)

check out Mac sabbath .... its burger vertions of sabbath songs XD

I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.

Always wanted to check Bloodstock out. What’s the crowd like? Friendly?

Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival I’ve been to. Really chilled and there’s not too many people like major festivals.

NWOBHM or?

What do you mean dude?

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal

I’m old but not that old!!! Lol. Do love my Maiden though!!

Seeing Municipal Waste again in October, really looking forward to that one

Recomendations wise, I've been really digging some of the "new wave trad" by the likes of Eternal Champion and Visigoth, super cheesy power metal about goblins and dragons, epic stuff...

Thanks for the recommendations man I’ll check them out. I’m seeing Alcest in October and can’t wait for that.

Yeah I was thinking the same,that’s why I made the post just to see what bands everyone was into.

Oh if they get that right it should be awesome. Early Sepultura rocks. Love the Arise album lost interest around Roots. That album wasn’t for me. I really like Derrick on vocals even though a lot of Max fan boys gave him a hard time when he joined.

Derrick is a much better frontman than Max

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath 🤘Music just keeps on getting better.

Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Can’t remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Can’t wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.

Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.

I'm wearing a Primitive Man t-shirt at the moment.

Brilliant. I've got my Sleep Dopesmoker one on 🤘

Got my Alcest tee on and had my Emperor one on yesterday! Lol.

They’re ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. 🤘

I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.

Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Can’t wait to see them live,I’ve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.

Next years fortress festival looks up your street,

Mate it looks epic!! Panopticon are headlining day one and are playing their entire Roads To The North album!! The entire weekend looks genuinely great too.

Saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour. It was one of my first gigs. Christ I'm so fuckin old.

Would love to of saw peak Maiden.

The Boris/Uniform album sounds like it's going to be a good un.

Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..

Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldn’t exist.

and if you into black metal check out Blackbraid they just relesed their second album its Native american black metal if you like melodic stuff check em out i feel they are only going to get better...

Thanks for the recommendation man. I’ll check them out later on they sound very intriguing.
