Well after soooo many years trying to find that pure sound of rock, raw and powerful, I kept thinking I found it but still felt empty... untill I found Stoner/Desert/Doom. Them three genres that are all closely related to eachother are genres of Rock that still keep that motherfucking sexy riff sound of the 70's metal bands like Black Sabbath and Pentagram, yet continue it till this day mixing it not to far away but with other raw sounds, like psychedelia.
I came across Kyuss about 2 years ago maybe a little more, and it blew me away, and ever since then I listen to constantly and in any mood, I listen to Stoner Rock. from Fu Manchu to Kyuss to Albatross Overdrive, and now its influenced to find some guys and make a band! and I did! Rohypnol.
What I love about this genre is that it still feels just as raw as it did when it started... also writing this in the summer of 2012, I can see it defitnily coming back, many people are starting to take in Stoner Rock, and many bands are popping up. and you can clearly hear the influences in many modern songs including Marilyn Manson's "Lay Down your Goddam Arms".
and the fashion also is coming to be very similar to the 70's with flags being very popular and high short short jeans. God knows why that came back...
but there is still something missing with everything... The attitude, that rock n roll feeling... But its coming back.
This year and last year many bands like Albatross Overdrive, Stoned Jesus, Elder, Monkey3 and many more and bringing out amazing new albums that are pure and raw full of energy.
and the concerts! at least there is one stoner band in every major rock festival.
Its coming back and BIG! and Im glad I found this genre just now :D
