http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...nter/EGG02.pngI value my ear drums, so I play it as loudly as I feel is necessary. Would love to see them live.

I could tell that when I tried listening to one of the sides of Oracles at a slightly low volume. I could only hear the loudest things, being a growling voice, drums, and eerie noises, and I could tell I was missing out on all the subtleties they always plant in their songs.

Goofle, I would too, but I hear its pretty exhausting just from the amount of vibrations sent through your body.

I saw Sunn O))) live in a small venue about 4 years ago and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to, but for some reason I've still not heard any of their records. Any of you care to recommend a starting point?

From what I have heard of Sunn O))), 3:Flight of the Behemoth is good. Excellent with headphones!

I'd start with Black One, but Flight of the Behemoth and Monoliths & Dimensions (slight change of direction but still drone) are great too.

Sunn O))) is really great on headphones for sure, an easier listen. But trying to listen on speakers seems like a waste if its too low in volume or a hazard if too high.

Digging a bit of Nadja lately. Their 2007 album Touched (a re-recording of their poorly produced debut) is a remarkable album. I love how fuzzy and full of texture it sounds.

Those songs make me want to suicide...O_O"

You should trust your instincts.

Khlyst - Chaos Is My Name is probably my favorite Drone Doom Metal album outside of Boris's Feedbacker. A brief review from yours truly:

Really good, i think i like this more than Khanate.

Bump.
I’m not really into Black Boned Angel/Khanate/Nadja kind of drone, but holy ****, this is absolute gold. I must have more stuff like this.

Go through the rest of Stephen O'Malley's projects if you dig that, you'll probably like most of them.

Better start educating yourself for the drone doom battle then.

Why is this thread in the experimental section of this forum?

Drone music is usually associated with experimentalism.

It's drone doom though. Should be metal.

It's considered experimental metal largely. There's more accessible stuff out there like Earth but most drone artists such as Sunn O))) really go out there.

Experimental music covers a lot of things.

If I want to talk about noise rock, I go to the experimental section even though it's technically rock. Same goes for math rock, or post rock. There are more people who listen to that type of thing over there than in the rock section.

Drone metal could go either way. I'm not sure what percentage of metal listeners would be receptive to drone.

Math rock is a lot closer to rock than the others, but ja I agree with that sentiment.

I'd still get probably get a stronger response from people in the experimental section, although there's a bit if grey area.

If I wanted to talk about Shellac I'd probably post in the experimental section. If I wanted to talk about Slint I'd probably post under rock.

....................It's doom though. It goes to 11.

It took me like 5 minutes to type this post because I could not stop giggling.

Technically it's grunge, but whatever.
