That's pretty much what Alexis Marshall from Daughters picked out, haha. Such a wonderfully weird band, and his influences are so fucking interesting to me.

[@seaofseeof]

Greg Anderson is definitely more purely rooted in metal between him and O'Malley.

[@jmason61]

I'm older & only know his music a bit, but he nailed the connection between the Sabbath fans (as kids) who saw Black Flag & became bands like Soundgarden & Melvins

[@alexhunt990]

Seen them live in Australia with Boris, fucking insane. One of the best live music experiences. We all just layed on the floor, feeling all the vibrations.

Several years ago, I asked my local record store if they could order a Sunn O and Khanate album for me. Any albums would do. I had no idea what they sounded like. I was unprepared for both of them but they are so unique and menacing and truly two of the most unique albums in my collection.

[@B1tPixel]

If only i could do the same thing with my favorite bands, man. If only... Living in Russia and listening to obscure music do not go along well.

[@Hontonoki]

phwarg, it's not about judgment, it's about awareness and availability. there are several "-in" stores, mostly in moscow and st petersburg. the rest of the country gets a tough break pretty much

[@Guizmopeg]

What Sunn album did you get?

[@richardaaron4454]

I did the same with Sigh and Vintersorg, both were unlike anything I'd heard.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

I love when a musician of a certain genre enjoys more than just the genre they specialize in. It expands the boundaries of their own personal creative growth.

00:45 - That's funny, in my 5th grade class, the teacher allowed us to bring in albums to play for the class on special occasions...we had this one kid in the class who was the youngest of 5 kids and had older brothers and sisters who were known burnouts that did drugs and got into trouble and this kid fascinated and scared me at the same time...he brought in Sabbath Sabotage to play and it blew me away...after that, I had know about Sabbath and lucky enough I had a friend on my hockey team that also had an older brother and he had all the Sabbath albums and we would go down to his basement and play them and all the other hard/heavy rock albums that he had.

Dream Delirium The details from both of them are a little vague, but from what I’ve read it seems like she didn’t want to have sex with him initially, but she got drunk, blacked out, and they ended up having sex. I’m liberal, but I’m not one of those people that considers that “rape”. The far left is getting fucking ridiculous with that kind of shit. I was kinda just being a smartass when I said “he is busy raping”.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Greg Anderson to me is one of the best riff writers in metal. His riffs on Goatsnake are just so heavy and groovy... Ample Fire Within by Ascend has some amazing riffs as well. No wonder he's a Black Sabbath fan. Stephen O'Malley is more the guy that brings the drones and mood, while Anderson brings the groove, that makes for a good balance. For groovy and heavy riffs the only other guy that surpasses him is probably Justin Broadrick (although his return as Godflesh sucked). Plenty of other guys are way more technical, but these two can write the catchiest riffs.
