I'm graduating from Oh I DIdn't See That One Sorry so don't be too shy about it when telling me what I missed. I even forgot my own present band Fuzzifer from the list, somehow. Bands ending with an asterisk (*) are still for reason or the other are still to be verified.

They have had a guitar player appear on albums once or twice, but they are mostly just bass & drums. This album had sax all over it, too. Kinda jazzy / proggy. A college friend from Seattle (their hometown) hipped me to them back in the day. Dunno if they're still around.

Thanks jrmy, You can always be trusted to come up with something. :thumb:

Guess I should add two Finnish bands that, again, I somehow had forgotten to list:
Kaaos In Eccentris (two basses, three computers - experimental group in which I played)
Electric Void Summoner (two basses, drums >> doom).

'hail the skull' is a reference to Man Is the Bastard's logo, not a band. And Emil is the drummer from Om, who is also in Holy Sons and Grails :)

And I can't remember if this has been mentioned earlier in the thread, but Nerve is drums, bass & keys:

I know there are some others that are still percolating back there in my brainstem...

My one band is just bass, drums, and vocals. We get booked with christian metal bands because of our name I guess (The Modern Hymn), which is hilarious because we're all fucking heathens. We also suck.

Machine that Flashes
Skultroll

Those immediately came to mind apart from the already mentioned OM.

I just scrolled through this thread and didn't see any mention of some of my "less heavy" faves.

How 'bout these?:
