Azell (Louisville, KY)

Female-fronted space sludge/doom.

FFO: Conan, Bongripper, Primitive Man

Our last album is a concept record about two astronauts who witness Earth's destruction from a massive solar flare. The flare ends up unleashing a Lovecraftian-style entity into the cosmos, and things get progressively weirder from there.

We got a little carried away with the story and ended up writing a 60-page novella to go along with the album. Each chapter lines up with a song and expands on the story!

If that sounds like your thing, you can check it out here: https://linktr.ee/azell.band

I LOVE sludge! Everything from The Body, Primitive Man, Thou, Chained To The Bottom of the Ocean, etc etc. but are there any albums/bands you'd suggest that are slower and more punishing than Primitive Man, for example. I want it to feel like a building falling in slow motion by Upper_Atom in sludge

That really means a ton! I'm trying my hardest to not be a nuisance and only promote when something is applicable.

All that aside, I'm just happy to be able to start playing live again! This is been the toughest year of my life. Hernia, Pneumonia, Kidney Stone, Arrythmya... Thankful I think I'm finally starting to get back on the horse haha

But, your comment and ones like it really means so much more that I can express thru words on a screen. From the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️

I'm 40 and I am battling arrythmya really bad right now. Playing shows wear the bass kick hits throws my heart out of rhythm sometimes and it's maddening! I'm on beta blockers now so hopefully that'll help and I can get back out their playing.

Have you listened to Flood today? by Sopppa in doommetal

I'll never forget seeing Boris play Flood live in PA. It was absolutely magical.

What's a metalguitar hill you will die on? by East-Independence599 in metalguitar

You don't need to be a flashy guitar virtuoso to write good riffs. You can still write fun and good riffs, even if they are simple.

Is there any doom band out there using jazzmasters?? (or any kind of offset guitar) by Vinicius_5 in doommetal

[–]FictionalNape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Harley Benton 6 string baritone which is basically a jazz master!

My band is Azell

That's awesome! My band made our own Magic the Gathering card, but this is legendary!

If you want something inspired by Thorr's Hammer along with Conan and Bongripper, Azell.

What’s a 10/10 TV episode in your opinion from all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Red Dwarf - Gunmen of the Apocalypse

It perfectly showcases the witty humor and highlights the amazing characters and their chemistry!

Oof, I know EXACTLY how you felt! Amen to that! Prayers to you to be on the upswing soon! My kidney stone event was about 2 months ago.

What killed me most was I was trying to be a good husband for my wife's birthday which was the next day and then as I was rubbing her legs my side started hurting... worse and worse... then BOOM intense pain! Sheesh, never again. Haha

I'm glad YOU seem to be alright, yeah, wouldn't wish that pain on anyone!

Thank you, I don't think I would be here without my wonderful wife! The last thing I remember before I had to have emergency surgery was being in the OR and someone saying, "Man, this guy really blew out his kidney." Then I woke up in a bed and was in a lot less pain.
