Stoner Doom Metal
Oct 11, 2020
On the 9th of October I was grooving and passing out continously with this album on the background, hence the two days delay in celebrating the 20 years anniversary of this beast of an album.
This is considered by many to be the band's magnum opus and it's not difficult to see why given how songs like "Funeralopolis" have reached the status of modern classics. From catchy sludge tunes to drawn-out dirges of the drone variety, Dopethrone pummels through with dirty and distorted riffs, redefining the heavyness of stoner metal. Approach with caution, though:
When you get into one of these groups, there's only a couple of ways you can get out: one is death, the other is mental institutions...

Continuing my trend of blasting stoner albums while working in the garage, this was on yesterdays playlist. Much like Sleep's Dopesmoker (that I played last time I was in the shop), It is very same-y, but if you focus in, there are quite a few layers happening in most sections. Really like the mega fuzzed out production and organic drum sound. I actually think this album is extremely well mixed. Funeralopolis is the track everyone talks about from this record, but We Hate You and Dopethrone are also bangers.
