I remeber finding this band online, listening to a couple albums, finding out that they're from England, and wondering if they'd ever come to Portland, Oregon in the U.S.. I checked their tour schedule and discovered that, that night, they were almost finished with their set about 20 minutes walking distance from where I live. What a letdown.

[@cymbolic_space1832]

i am so sorry that happened to you. I know the pain. I was starting my third year of music school in a small city in canada. country ski town basically. went in to my first day of classes to find out that my peers had seen Sleep the night before at the local club. fucking Sleep. in a town of 10,000 during the busy season. 😭 oh and then covid started that spring and all live music has been cancelled for eternity.

[@joeredmond7227]

They are doom

[@R_Marinho]

There are basically two kinds of doom metal bands: the pessimistic evil-embracing one, sinister and usually a kinda nihilistic, and the contemplative, spiritual pilgrimage one who drowns itself in acceptance. Electric Wizard is the true manifestation of the first one. The second one, I don't know... YOB, I think.
