Consider me intrigued by that Ancestors album, been getting into the Stoner genre a lot more recently.

I didn't know there was a new Witch Mountain. That's cool, I enjoyed South of Salem quite a bit. Gotta check it out.

Since you seem to have liked Astra's new album I really don't have any doubt that you'll like Ancestors' as well.

Ah so it has a fair bit of 70's retro sound about then? If they do it as well as Astra did then I think you'd definitely be right.

It does. I'd be interested to see what you think of it. Apparently I'm the only person on MS who has heard this album and I personally think that's a terrible shame.

It doesn't officially drop until June 12th.

Finally giving that Ancestors album a listen and to say its unique would be an understatement I think, I've never heard anything like it. Its a lot to take in at the moment, at times the subgenre blending doesn't come together seamlessly but perhaps that will even out given a few more listens. My favourite at the moment is probably the piano driven "On The Wind", and those vocals on "The Last Return" are mesmerizing!

Nice list dude, I like it when people put little descriptions in their lists

Glad to hear it man. "On the Wind" is certainly the one that hooked me as well. That guitar solo with the organ in the background is jaw-droppingly beautiful. I've been enjoying Conan and Behold! The Monolith which I found on your list. Stoner Doom ftw.

Thank you. I've been lazy with some of my more recent additions to the list though. But it's a work in progress.

I'm almost done listening to that Ancestors album. I can already say that it's one of the best (if not THE best) album of 2012

I'm glad to hear you like it. I definitely don't think this album has gotten enough attention.

One of the best 2012 lists on the whole site. Kudos.

Nice list, I like the descriptions you put there. Made me finally check out Soen. And looked into this Step in Fluid business, but turns out it's actually a 2011 album that's listed wrong on MS.

But seriously, would you really call Monolithe's Interlude Second generic? I've never heard anything like it. It's a pretty unique album both in their discography and in metal in general, I'd say. (I can see why it would be boring or unimpressive, though I liked it a lot.)

Concerning you The Machine entry, since when have SOundgarden been on heroin? And tbh this The Machine has a lot more to do witht he stoner by Kyusss than any of the grunge Soundgarden ever played

I don't know if the members of Soundgarden ever did heroin or not. I just associate the grunge sound with heroin. It seemed clever at the time but I was trying to say that I thought they sound like Soundgarden playing stoner/psychedelic style. It's a pretty terrible description, I know. But they can't all be winners, right?

Oh thanks for pointing that out. Step In Fluid has been removed. And regarding the Monolithe EP I listened to that album while I was at a baseball game so it did not receive my undivided attention. I kept thinking I was listening to Cult of Luna or Ixion. It didn't impress me much but I'm interested to hear their next full length nonetheless.

Love the addition of Wildernessking! Amazing album and a really spectacular South African band! Great list overall.

Exciting list, and obviously good taste;-) I will certainly check out several of the bands I haven't heard here

AH! You listened to Bosse De Nage's latest album. That one was absolutely fantastic and easily my favorite BM full length of the year.

Yeah I loved the drumming. Have you heard the album Spiderland by Slint? It was definitely an influence on III.
