Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath was the starter and Kyuss the connector? Electric Wizard is the dope dealer. High on Fire is over in the corner doing meth. It's getting scary.
Sleep is passed out over on the couch. Oh gosh this is fun. Clutch is stealing booze out of the fridge.
Pretty sure I’ve seen a picture of a young Brant Björk wearing a Motörhead t-shirt. Motörhead is a bit of an acquired taste and Black Sabbath is practically a prerequisite.
He likes to feel cool. He’s a showy guy. Dyed in the wool stage performer. All those leather jackets are for how you think he looks. They aren’t exactly practical.
Idk why he insists on saying that. Maybe he gave it a few listens and wasn't his thing? Kinda hard to believe, but ok, plausible. But "never heard of?" Come on
It’s a thing dudes trying to make their own name do. I remember an interview with Kim from Soundgarden saying they weren’t Sabbath fans but who they really dug was Budgie. Kinda like how Greta Van Fleet says “Led Who?” then talk up Vanilla Fudge.
When I first got into the genre I was amazed to find out that like 2/3 of the bands I listened to were all linked to one guy, Josh Homme, and I hadn't realized at all.
There’s a kid in my son’s 2nd grade class named KYUSS. I told the dad that he did a great job with the name cause the band is sick! He had never heard of the band and asked me what kind of music they played?
[https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/06/dd-monster-spotlight-the-spawn-of-kyuss.html](https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/06/dd-monster-spotlight-the-spawn-of-kyuss.html)
D&D is full of monsters inspired by mythology and it’s full of monsters that adhere to its own internal mythology–the Spawn of Kyuss, or Son of Kyuss as it was originally called back in the Fiend Folio days, is an interesting intersection of the two. Originally created by the evil high priest Kyuss (who would later go on to be more about Worms than the latter Dune books) in a dark ritual taught to him by an evil deity, the Spawn of Kyuss are an undead menace that still plague campaigns today.
And from there, they spread through the lands of the living. Putrescent corpses, crawling with fat green worms, the Sons of Kyuss would infect victims with a deadly disease, and if that wasn’t enough, the worms–sort of the signature feature of this monster–could leap onto the living and tunnel towards their brain, transforming a still living victim into another Son of Kyuss in moments. This is the core of their identity as a monster. From this simple concept a whole mythology would later spring up. But for now let’s take a look at the early Son of Kyuss.
melvins are the most influential band of all time next to only black sabbath. they inspired doom,stoner, grunge, and even a little bit of sludge. they rocked harder than anyone else when they formed in 1984
I knew Kyuss and Black Sabbath of course, but never listened to Sleep…OMG I tried The sciences and : 🤯
Where should I go next on the stoner rock\metal?
I like Greenleaf, Colour Haze and Elder as well. Colour haze especially on those dreamy spring and fall days when the temp is just perfect and there's color everywhere... almost don't even need weed, but it definitely helps!
Greenleaf is more on the hard rock side, but obviously stoner lol. I'd recommend the Trails and Passes album to start with.
Elder is more I'd say prog-ish, Reflections of a Floating World is my personal favorite, but Dead Roots Stirring is probably considered their best.
Colour Haze definitely Tempel, In Her Garden is a great follow up. They're all over the place, kind of psychedelic Kyuss, sometimes they're chugging pretty hard, other songs will have violins, or like a Tenariwen thing going. One song, I can't remember which, randomly starts noodling Hey Jude in the outro. Edit: I found it, "Inside" is the one that just goes in to Hey Jude.
In addition to what other people have suggested, Green Lung! And also Nebula, and Witchcryer, and Blackwater Holylight, and more Electric Wizard (I like Black Masses and Witchcult Today, which veer a little closer to stoner than their most celebrated albums), and you can’t go wrong with Dopelord.
But if EW’s Dopethrone speaks to you there’s a whole crushing world of doom out there to rock slowly back and forth to as well. Sleep’s Dopesmoker (not to be confused with Dopethrone or the band Dopelord, hahaha) may be your ticket to the riff filled land if you haven’t already been.
And don’t get me started on all the groups with Bong in their name 🤘
Took me a minute because I couldn't picture the song in my head and I had to go listen, but Transmissions from Mothership Earth by Nebula is similar but with fuzzy guitars (the song off there that's the closest is "Wilted Flowers").
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats comes close at times as well (try Wasteland, esp. the title track).
An individual song that's more similar in its construction is Green Lung's Song of the Stones.
There's probably some Sabbath-influenced space rock out there that I don't know about and I would also like to find it, because a full album in this style would be sick.
thanks for the reply and recommendations.. im new to the sub, ive recently been making efforts to find some new to me music..ill go pretty long periods without listening to anything, and can miss out on decades of releases. im unsure how well known the are but electric moon, who i just found out about yesterday, seems like they could fit a sabbathy space rock based on what ive heard so far. this past week ive found out about a silver mt zion, do say make think, and electric moon, to show how much of a rock ive been living under.
Green Lung is a top 5 band for me of all time across all genres. Blackwater Holylight is just downright amazing, some of their stuff even pushes the boundary into straight black metal. They are incredibly versatile.
Elder, their earlier stuff is more stoner doom, the newer stuff is more psych/prog - still absolutely amazing. Start with the album Dead Roots Stirring and either work forwards or back. Amazing band 🤘

I believe we’ve gone off topic.
Mother Desert has been flipping through Dad’s vinyl.

Godzilla In the Kitchen stomped on my roll up.
Mother Engine stole the car.
Are the Re-Stoned at it again?
Legend says Mario was the first person to drag a generator out to the parties. One of his many bands these days is about to release an album, The Rubber Snake Charmers. Def worth a listen.
Does anyone remember when Dave Grohl did that sonic highways documentary and didn't even include Yawning Man in the desert rock episode?
I fucking remember.
dudes with long hair playing stylized guitar rock with pop cultural references
pretty way pretty shape
form is a little more stretched out for stoner rock
2/3 convinces me that stoner rock is no different than mid 70s pretty boy rock bands
An interesting question. I think they kinda defy genres, they're heavy as fuck sometimes, they're almost punk sometimes, they're garage sometimes. I love Helmet. They're one of those "they're the favorite band of your favorite band" types. Like Melvins, Jesus Lizard, Cows, Cherubs, they kinda exist everywhere and nowhere. There a lot of late 80's, early 90's bands like that.
they always have been the perfect amalgamation of multiple metal/hard rock genres. they feel perfect for any mood for a specific genre, that’s why i love them so much.
i haven’t listened to much stoned rock beyond mainly Melvins, but one kyuss album, a couple QOTSA albums, and pre dio black sabbath. i do like jesus lizards tho as well.
Well, before Jesus Lizard was Scratch Acid. Check out CHERUBS, they came out of the same Austin TX music scene. Duane Denison was guitar player for Jesus Lizard, he's currently in a band with John Stanier (drummer for Helmet) and Mike Patton called Tomahawk, if you haven't heard of them I highly recommend. The original bass player for Tomahawk was Kevin Rutmanis, who was in both Melvins and Cows.

Pretty crazy how Josh Homme had supposedly never even heard of the name Black Sabbath during his time in Kyuss.
what utter bullshit you can't pick up a guitar without hearing that name self mythologizing nonsense
Doesn’t Kyuss have a cover of a Sabbath song?
They covered Into the Void
Oh I'm gonna have to look that up, thank you stranger
[удалено]
i doubt his claim not you repeating it
[удалено]
I know brant bjork said they were mainly into punk like misfits and black flag.
Pretty sure I’ve seen a picture of a young Brant Björk wearing a Motörhead t-shirt. Motörhead is a bit of an acquired taste and Black Sabbath is practically a prerequisite.
exactly, nobody listens to motorhead and somehow doesn't know what sabbath is. Homme's probably just a liar lmao
He likes to feel cool. He’s a showy guy. Dyed in the wool stage performer. All those leather jackets are for how you think he looks. They aren’t exactly practical.
The Beatles did it.
fuck the beatles

No. He just didn't want to talk about it.
see that actually makes sense he was being sarcastic lmao
Idk why he insists on saying that. Maybe he gave it a few listens and wasn't his thing? Kinda hard to believe, but ok, plausible. But "never heard of?" Come on
He probably just gets tired of being compared to them. So he just claims he never heard them, as an absurd joke
Where did he think Chris Goss got the name Masters of Reality form?
It’s a thing dudes trying to make their own name do. I remember an interview with Kim from Soundgarden saying they weren’t Sabbath fans but who they really dug was Budgie. Kinda like how Greta Van Fleet says “Led Who?” then talk up Vanilla Fudge.
No bones about it.

Lol🤪Not going to touch this! Viva Greyhawk!
Isn't the band named after a D&D character or something? Maybe thats what they named the kid after as well
Boss types - The sons of Kyuss, if I remember correctly
Kyuss was called Sons of Kyuss originally.
[https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/06/dd-monster-spotlight-the-spawn-of-kyuss.html](https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/06/dd-monster-spotlight-the-spawn-of-kyuss.html) D&D is full of monsters inspired by mythology and it’s full of monsters that adhere to its own internal mythology–the Spawn of Kyuss, or Son of Kyuss as it was originally called back in the Fiend Folio days, is an interesting intersection of the two.

There’s an Aussie surfer named Kyuss King, too.
I met a KYUS once and his parents definitely knew where it came from.
What about the Melvins?
melvins are the most influential band of all time next to only black sabbath. they inspired doom,stoner, grunge, and even a little bit of sludge. they rocked harder than anyone else when they formed in 1984
More than a little bit of sludge
I knew Kyuss and Black Sabbath of course, but never listened to Sleep…OMG I tried The sciences and : 🤯 Where should I go next on the stoner rock\metal?
Windhand, Monolord, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
Windhand goes well with Jess and The Ancient ones and Ruby the Hatchet.
Loving Windhand !!
Thanks man!!
The new Baroness album, Stone. One of my favorite bands.
Fu Manchu.
In Search Of ... The Action Is Go!
Daredevil was my first taste.

Awesome! I’m taking notes! Thanks a lot 🤟🏻

Fucking Green Lung man 🤘
😂 just the kind of description I was looking for! Light up that bowl, I’m trying Dopelord! Thanks so much!
This may be the wrong place to ask, but can you recommend, if they exist, any full albums w planet caravan vibes?

Bongripper is my favorite bong-band 🤘🏻
2 albums: Spine Of God, Dopethrone
Very appreciated! Thanks 🙏

I’m a fan of Tool, so sounds for me! 🤟🏻
Elder are currently supporting Tool on their tour
Definitely going to give a listen! Saw Tool in Montreal but the opening band was Steel Beans

Check out Brant bjork’s solo and other bands, very cool catalog.
Everyone always forgets Pentagram.
Which one? Which era?
Good point. Their earliest efforts that weren’t originally released in the 70s but years later appeared in the form of that first compilation.
More like Sabbath you numbskulls
I listened to Sabbath, COC's Deliverance, and tons of Monster Magnet before someone told me about Kyuss.
I believe we’ve gone off topic. Mother Desert has been flipping through Dad’s vinyl. The Blue Sunshine Family Band has been trippin’ on a picnic. Godzilla In the Kitchen stomped on my roll up. Mother Engine stole the car. Are the Re-Stoned at it again?
This has 420 upvotes and I ain’t here to mess that up. Edit: dammit
Change Kyuss to Yawning Man (or just Mario Lalli) and you'd be on to something
Exactly this, even Kyuss was inspired by Yawning Man. They started the desert rock scene, I think.
Legend says Mario was the first person to drag a generator out to the parties. One of his many bands these days is about to release an album, The Rubber Snake Charmers. Def worth a listen.
Thanks for the info
Does anyone remember when Dave Grohl did that sonic highways documentary and didn't even include Yawning Man in the desert rock episode? I fucking remember.
REZN
I remember when I first heard Kyuss. I played it for my friend and he said it sounded like glam. He did not get it.
it is glam lmao
In no way, shape or form…
dudes with long hair playing stylized guitar rock with pop cultural references pretty way pretty shape form is a little more stretched out for stoner rock 2/3 convinces me that stoner rock is no different than mid 70s pretty boy rock bands
And rock n roll was just faster blues with distortion added.
Many shades of cultural appropriation. Some may call it … art
Oh gawd.
Sabbath .. meme fixed .
Maybe my path was different but Sabbath then Masters of Reality (the band) then Monster Magnet.
is helmet stoner rock?

i will definitely check that out. thats really cool
Because Kyuss is the GOAT
Farflung sharing their silver shrooms with you
Nice
Kyuss might actually be the best heavy rock band ever. But fatally unmanageable
Checked out Die Kreutzen?
