There should be a fucking doom metal tinder for finding bands. So many bands and so many tick boxes. Riffs? Vocals? Production? # of times the singer says “YEAH!!!!!”, amp to riff ratio, usage of occult themes, validity of the band name, etc
Tits or a hot rod car on the cover? Swipe left asshole!
Bad rock with “occult themes” and a keyboard? Swipe left asshole!
Going for Kyuss but you sound like Creed? Swipe left asshole!
A band name like Bong Wizard of Druid Weed Mountain Yeti? Swipe left asshole!
You say doom, I say uninspired post rock with a weed leaf on the cover? Swipe left asshole!! BLOCKED.
I constantly use my wife’s Spotify account to try new bands and I’m routinely put off by the sheer number of uninspired Sword clones. Y’all remember when Church of Misery was good? Fuck I was listening to Master of Brutality on the way to Home Depot today, that record fucking RIPS.
Hey, at least BONGZILLA are BACK and writing new material. If they put out a record in 2018 I’d praise the bong witch who lives in the lizard mountain or whatever.....
