Finally what we always wanted, the ultimate thread about Drone. I figured since most of the Drone-related threads die a quick and painless death, somebody should do something about it!

So discuss Drone in all it's forms and shapes here, for it is a great genre. Let me start with some of my fav. bands:

The Angelic Process: Due to their nature of Drone/Doom and their awesomeness, I've included them in here. "Weighing Souls With Sand" was a frikking masterpiece and their "Coma Waering" is great too. Absolutely amazing stuff, in my opinion, though I might have overplayed it a little. Full review here..

Hjarnidaudi: Another amazing band. Their (his) debut album will schorch your balls off, so much heat is present on this album. One of my favourite bands atm and certainly one of my most-played. Full review here..

Hlidolf: The former version of Hjarnidaudi. Same dude, different music. The only album, V01D", is a collosal astral space trip, and a long one too. Seventy minutes of pure void-music, hard to digest, but good.

Furthermore I have ordered two more Drone albums, which I cannot wait to hear: "Fulci - Dead Sky/Red Lights" (more Drone Rock, I believe) and "Hyatari - The Light Carriers". I'll post my opinion on them here, hopefully soon!

So emmmm drone.. I don't know what to say right now about it Hopefully this won't be too much offtopic but do you guys have an idea how long it takes usually from Paradigms to send you something? I'm feeling like finally I should dare to order something from them. I was thinking of some Hjarnidaudi and The Angelic Process among other shit. I live in Sweden and I have ordered from them, it usually takes quite a while, around 4-5 weeks to get the package. Oh well, I can understand... Then again it's still quite cheap, pretty much 100 SEK/cd. Do you know how much it cost for the shipping? Another offtopic question: Have you ordered from tpl.se? ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass Written by Milena on 20.06.2012 at 10:49 Rod, let me love you.

!J.O.O.E.! Account deleted	Permalink 02.04.2012 - 01:09 !J.O.O.E.! Account deleted KTL haven't been mentioned yet. They're a collab between Stephen O'Malley and Peter "Pita" Rehberg who's a noise artist from the UK (don't know his work though but will investigate him). Given them a proper going over tonight and I can safely say they're exceptional. Not really drone metal though, as well as dark ambient their style extends beyond into the likes of abstract industrial and noise territory. Highly textured and quite unnerving. It's annoying the song I really want to put on here, called 'Abattoir' from the '2' album, is not on Youtube. A total dronefest of the highest order. I imagine that song is what Velvet Cacoon might sound like if they made the full transition to drone music. It's on Spotify, along with all their full lengths.
