I love the pop culture references, the album covers and the hot metal chick in the band, but must they really insist on sounding like shit and not writing a good riff to save their lives?

Out of all the EW albums I’ve listened to, I’ve only ever been able to get into the first two

>>127168087 (OP)
Supercoven > Dopethrone

>>127168087 (OP)
all these “doom” bands are garbage

>>127168424
>>127168087 (OP)
Im convinced that people who say shit like this just listen to music on very shitty equipment and have never seen a good band live.
Aka, are faggots whose opinions are to be ignored.
>>127168192
Nah it's pretty good, but for me, we live is my fav, dopethrone second

>>127169260
See, this is what Sabbath revival band fans fail to recognize, that playing a riff louder won't make it better...at all

>>127168087 (OP)
What pop culture references?

>>127168087 (OP)
Yo BRO! You into METAL? I love metal, it's the music of hellfire and blasphemy! I especially love walking over hot coals so that Satan can pierce me through the stomach with his needle claws. But what I really like is this song. It is chained from the foulest pits of Camelot! Got DAMN!

check out /hor/ on /tv/, they have the same taste in European horror movies as Jus Oborn

>>127170458
For all their faults, EW are wholly transparent in systematically using grindhouse movie themes to get a rise out of people and attract interest

>>127168087 (OP)
I've never gotten the appeal either.

>>127168087 (OP)
Electric Wizard would be 100 times better if they muted the retard trying and failing to 'sing' on every song.

100%.
Also they miss the fact that Sabbath actually wrote good songs. Songs with hooks and choruses and vocal melodies. If you have a riff but don't bother to write a decent song with it then you don't have anything worth hearing.

Idk I thought dopethrone was sick. Some of the more well produced doom and the entire thing is pretty cohesive

>>127169260
Amen.

>>127168087 (OP)
It's a Black Sabbath Spoof, and not meant to be taken seriously.
Fuck, even Electric Wizard, themselves, don't take their band seriously.

>>127171678
/mu/ used to worship Dopethrone when it was larger and more influential, like 10 years ago give or take, there were literally daily threads about it

>>127171704
True, /mu/ used to be full of gay hipsters. Now it is full of retard zoomers.

this is the only EW song I like tbdesu

This is album is quite underrated. I love the tape saturation

>>127173107
For me it's this version specifically

>>127168087 (OP)
This album is fucking incredible and if you think otherwis you are retarded and should kill yourself

>>127169260
I worked for Live Nation for years and years retard I’ve seen and met more retarded bands than you can imagine. None of these Sabbath worship stoner bands are anywhere near Sabbath, its just bad larping

>>127173662
OP here, Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley is probably the best Sabbath imitation to date, not even metal tho

>>127173733
>Welcome to Sky Valley is probably the best Sabbath imitation to date
nope

>>127173757
the original cover was so much better. I wish these guys stopped doing dope for a half hour to meet paul and gene, bobby could have been someone in the 70s

>>127174056
yeah, I like it, it's more subtle

Look how stoned that drummer is

this is true of 90% of "underground" music
