This group from my hometown seems to be making some noise in the genre. I'm no Doom expert, but some friends who have a better handle on this stuff are really pushing for them http://beastmaker.bandcamp.com/album/you-must-sin-2 EDIT: This just popped up in my FB feed by one of the aforementioned friends:
Pre-Ordered that as soon as I saw it. Way stoked for this album. Recorded them on my handheld when I saw them in 2013. For some reason the sound ended up being pretty blown out. Disappointed as it was a killer show.
was never much of a Salem's Pot fan, but I think I am now. Killin it on this new one! http://salemspot.bandcamp.com/album/pronounce-this

I've got three hard tickets to the sold-out Friday, 1/27 Sleep / Melvins show at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood that I'm looking to sell. Change of plans after purchase and I'm going to Sat. night show now instead. Asking $40 each (they were $29.50 face value + $12.25 in fees). They're all GA/Floor. Lemme know if anyone's interested. Just saw Sleep up here In SF last weekend and they totally ripped it up!! "The Clarity" live was pretty sweet and I think they played a new one towards the end (but a friendly fan behind me got me a bit too "elevated" and I'm not sure - ha ha) [edited: looked it up and I was wrong, it wasn't a new song - I was just "too" high] REALLY excited to see em with Melvins... I'm dreaming of some sorta team-up for at least a song, but that might just be wishful thinking. Since I'm in NorCal and the show's in LA, I'd be looking for Paypal payment for goods/services (to protect your purchase) and then I'd mail down. Please DM me if interested.
http://www.laweekly.com/music/henry-rollins-i-am-a-stoner-at-heart-7913989 Some words about Sleep from Henry Rollins. I heard him mention them when he was on JRE recently. I had no idea he was such a doom advocate. Pretty cool.
Hey Brent @evom listen to the last 3 tunes off of My War. He was doing sludgy doom back in '84. Awesome!
