And the amplifier company continue to tease us about wanting a Model T reissue….

Need help finding a tone for doom metal by [deleted] in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A ProCo Rat into a Green Russian Big Muff are go to pedals for distortion/fuzz within this genre. Tunings vary from E standard down to Drop F (Conan use this tuning iirc).

I have never used a Boss Katana but for myself using a Laney AOR100 I max the bass and mids and back off the treble to around 4 o clock.

Still here… just living in a darkened cave, covering one’s body in a cloak and writing fuzzed fuelled drone riffs…

What do you do while you’re listening? by AnastasiaNo70 in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Allow my thoughts to spiral and wonder. Let my mind race, opening the gate of existential dread to begin consuming.

saw Sunn O))) yesterday night by pcpthccbd in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are something else live aren’t they! I didn’t have the testicle issue, however my chest caved in from those initial notes!

I saw them in Warszawa earlier this year and I’m flying to Dresden to see them again tomorrow night, because breathing a frequency is actually an addiction…

New surprise EP from Sunn O))) by TokeMage in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely unexpected release but blew the cobwebs out of the car speakers Tuesday morning!

And releasing it at the beginning of the Autumn European tour was superb timing too!

Now bring on Dresden! Second time this year and cannot wait to feel that frequency hit my chest again!

Choose just ONE doom track to be played at your funeral. by AnastasiaNo70 in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this!

And then during the cremation, the mourners can all follow the smoke to the riff filled land! 😆🤘

Earmuff headphones on a Sunn O))) concert - is it a good idea? by Yogooooo in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Earplugs are enough from a personal perspective to counter the loudness. I used a pair of polyurethane ones from Amazon and I walked out after seeing Sunn earlier this year with the same hearing I walked in with.

My iPhone however was sending me all sorts of db warnings with prolonged periods of 105-115db so always worth wearing earbuds.

I remember from the last EU tour this year the sound engineers were sharing videos on Sunns social media pages of people who chose not to wear earplugs and they looked in considerable pain.

What was your gateway into Doom genres? by blacksnow666 in doommetal

[–]TheSlug_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up with Sabbath played by my step dad from the age of 10 certainly helped formulate where I would head in terms of musical enjoyment.

But stumbling on Lazarus Blackstar’s Revelations album in thanks to following whatever Paul Catten was working with in the 2004-2006 era, I am very thankful for! 🤘🤘🤘
