Iota: Tales IOTA

Coffins: Buried DeathCoffins

Ufomammut: Idolum

Grand Magus: Iron Will

Graveyard: s/t Graveyard



Webmonkey: That Black Mountain is some seriously good stuff, true.

Ants in the Afterbirth is an 07 release, but definitely also top-notch tuneage. Those guys kicked ass at SHoD.


EDIT: Not that I don't make mistakes - I originally linked a Coffins song to the Graveyard link (now fixed). Despite the similar names, there is a huge difference.

Graveyard is more retro-Doom; Coffins is way more brutal.

Fleet Foxes s/t debut is awesome. Pretty hyped, but deserving in my opinion.

I have only heard 2 or 3 songs from the Fleet Foxes. Not sure what to think yet, how is the rest of the album?

It's awesome. My only complaint is that the lead singer sounds sorta like the dude from My Morning Jacket. But the songs are really good-tons of texture and harmonies and cool instrumentations. It's definitely not a first listen kind of record, but it grows on you. It's really good.

All these bands sound pretty similar - and similar to Supergiant. You definitely go for the straight-up, sludgy, downtuned, Sabbathy hard rock. What else do you like?
