Anyone else agreeing that they should finish the marathon with Sleep - Dopesmoker
a little quickie in the end
Hahahahahaha
God aint no fuckin way 😂😂
It should be a requirement :P
They would spend the whole day reacting to that, BUT YES I WANT IT A LOT
Discovering Electric Wizard was like discovering the band I've been looking for my whole life. This is my shit. That's what I appreciate about stoner metal, it's all about grooves, riffs, and heaviness. Checks off everything I look for. And Electric Wizard kills it.
You check out “monolord” yet?
This. And proof you don’t need growled vocals to sound heavy.
@@AspiringSpaceWizard nah, I'm gonna look them up right now though
I remember first hearing this album and really enjoying it, wondering if they'd ever come to my city of Portland, Or, seeing as they're from the U.K..
I looked it up. They were in the middle of playing a show within 10 minutes walking distance from my home.😢
One of the heaviest songs ever conceived by mortal man. The introduction riffage, alone, can push trees back and crack statues. Welcome to your doom, our doom.
Im not sure about the mortal part but yes! ^^
I get what you mean. But I cringed hard enough to melt glaciers reading this comment.
But fair enough - anyone who hears music in imagery like you did - is cool with me.
You think you're civilized but you will never understand ;)
@@XViTNg Not as cringe as your comment.
This is the best comment on the Internet 🤣
The way you feel about this song is same way people felt about Black Sabbath when it was brand new.
Is the same way I feel about Black Sabbath even now
@@inmort_usself titled and paranoid are some of the best albums ever made
This is the deepest metal cut you could have made for this channel and I NEVER thought you would have gone here, but I love that you did. I love these band, but for sure I don't have anyone else in my life that would like it. Doom metal is amazing music and Electric Wizard is a fantastic band and mad respect for you guys giving them a shot.
If you think this is deep you have not tread into what dares to become truly noise.
Imagine those guys reaction to Planets Collide or Lasting Dose by Crowbar...
Would be a great day
@@AK-vs9nr Why stop there. Check out band called Locrian.
@@AK-vs9nr I almost made a comment about Planet’s Collide
@@AK-vs9nr they need to check out Acid Bath
Ryan being so shook by this one I think is the highest compliment to Electric Wizard. They did their job.
In the end he was almost depressed lol
He compared this to shitting on the sidewalk lolol
Not really... I don't think these two are into these kind of music at all.. he keeps on looking for melody and chorus with hooks 😂.. at this point they are reacting just for the sake of channel and because fans are asking for a reaction. They need something else..this is beyond what they can handle.
@@666MrAlexi totally agree, we must always consider that what they do remains entertainment
It’s because throughout the whole marathon on Patreon he wasn’t like any of the songs and didn’t even wanna do these songs lol
This track is so dark it made Ryan look beige in comparison.
I convinced my wife to go see Electric Wizard live, and they closed with this song. Between the unrelenting doom and the video backdrop of occult movies, I remember her turning to me at one point and saying, "well, it's a good thing that we have church in the morning!" Haha! I think Ryan was ready for a spiritual cleansing too after that listen.
Our local boys, finally on LOST IN VEGAS!! We are a Rock Bar here in DORSET, that regularly puts on stoner/doom shows, and Mark(EW drummer) is a regular! Sleep - Holy Mountain needs to be done!
holy shit!! this is awesome!!
Yes even though Dopesmoker/Jerusalem is considered their masterpiece I think that Holy Mountain gives a much bigger sample size on the bands sound and how it ebbs and flows! So yeah when I introduce Sleep to people who have never heard them before I’ll say ok I need an hour of you time and completely undivided attention and then preceded to listen to every song from first note til last note!
Not *a* rock bar, THE rock bar, one of my favourite spots in bournemouth \m/
Well, Electric Wizard has officially broke George and Ryan. Funeralopolis was the waterboarding moment in this marathon.
Well that entire on what sludge they're gonna do.
Indian or something like that would absolutely break them
@@k0bra3eak40 facts a bit of thou lol
@@guitaristcam5573 Nobody is ready for Primitive Man. Ever.
@@IndustrialBonecraft I’m a big metal guy, I love Electric Wizard, Sleep, Kyuss, Ahab etc. Who are primitive man? Are these guys stoner or funeral doom or what?
@@basserman The extreme end of doom/sludge.
Uncle Acid & the deadbeats: Death's Door
Yes! Or 'I'll cut you down', more accessible but still great stuff.
Melody Lane
Amazing song they definitely should do it.
literally anything by uncle acid would be amazing
I recommend Mind Crawler
I love Electric Wizard to death. I listened to pretty much only Death Metal for around ten years (not because I'm against other types of music, but because I legitimately love DM so much), until I finally listened to Electric Wizard, and I don't regret it. I've since listened to hundreds if not thousands of hours of them. Their music is such a primal, visceral thing, it's pure dark and mysterious beauty. I've been clean and dry for a few years now and haven't been able to enjoy their music high or drunk, but I'm sure it's a blast and the first thing I'd do if I had a relapse one day
It's like a piece of unsettling art. I love this, it touches me somewhere in my brain. It becomes one sound. A pure emotion. Like a trip, where the vocals are there to guide you through so you don't get lost. This music makes so much more sense when you're stoned and/or very down. It actually lifts me. I totally get it isn't for everyone, though.
I don't care what anybody says this song is metal perfection
its music perfection
Feels like napalm bombs encased in 77 layers of tar, syrup and gravel
It's an incredible song.
George is right on track. This is not a song that's intended to be an 'easy' listen. It's psychotic, unsettling, and it's wonderful.
Absolutely on the money there
100%
For me it's a song that takes all these negative feelings about the world - hopelessness, frustration, the sense that shit wont get better, laughs at the absurd nature of it all (not in a "haha" way, but in a "that's fucked up" way) - and turns it into this big, angry, powerful release of raw emotion.
It's music from a dark place mentally. It's gives a voice to the mix of depression, nihilism, absurdism and utter hopelessness I've felt at some of my lowest points and it's an incredibly cathartic experience.
The way it falls apart a little plays into all that too - it just fits the lyrical themes brilliantly.
That said, I wasn't sure what to make of it the first few times I heard it either. George is spot on with his take on it. And I definitely sympathize with where Ryan's coming from, it's a lot to take in.
@@NihilistCrab Spot on. I feel with music like this, your personality is a big indicator for your enjoyment of it. If you're a person who's never felt these emotions on a deep level you probably won't like it. Familiarity is also important as you mentioned. You might need a few listens to really get used to and appreciate it.
Its because they're fooling us!!! It's boring hearing a band do the same thing for 16 minutes. That's why I love Ramones! It's the same concept but they're humble and do the same in 0:45 secs for not getting the audience bored!!
@@alessandrogouveia2268 because this isn't exactly supposed to be enjoyed sober
If Art invokes feelings, consider that this form of art moved you. It may have moved you in a way you didn't expect or didn't like. But you were moved.... How much better is it then searching for your feelings. This is the real deal DOOM! Like Ice T said, there go's the neighborhood.
My prediction: They will hate this one ;) I want this song played at my funeral at an uncomfortably loud volume lol
The hearse horn plays the riff
“This makes me homicidal”... Mission accomplished 🤣😂
LEGALIZE DRUGS AND MURDER
we hate you
Im a HUGE Electric Wizard fan. That being said, your experience is 100% warranted. This song was made to hurt, on an emotional level. I personally feel like its intention was to give you that impending sense of doom for the eventual death of our planet and an extinguishing of our way of life. Its not meant to be an learning experience but more like a "shaking-you-awake" moment. Most of Electric Wizards other albums are MUCH more accessible. PLEASE listen to anything on Come my fanatics, specifically Solarian 13, return trip, or doom mantia. also check out Legalise Drugs and Murder, and Black Mass.
I agree.. Come my Fanatics is my favorite hands down and I think would've been a better introduction to EW for George and Ryan.
Return Trip - 100%🔥
I'll second that Return Trip suggestion
Don't forget " Wizard In Black " guys! That riff is so catchy!👍😄
Yes, yes, and more yes!
Love to see a Monolord reaction. They have a electric wizard sound but lean more towards Black Sabbath
Monolord has a few decent tracks. They kinda mediocre
@@HumFan I strongly recommend Slomatics. They are like Monolord but.. well I don’t want to say „good“ 😂
@@jooplin oh ive listened to them a lot. I really like their split with Conan, and Estron is a pretty solid album too
Audhumbla anyone? 😁
High on Fire - 10,000 Years should be the next marathon song
Probably my favorite song from them. Caught them in Philly when they toured that release.
or blood from zion
One of the heaviest riffs around !! They have to get introduced to Matt Pike :)
Electric wizard-Return trip
@@billp7210
I've been waiting for this song since the start of the channel. This is graduate-level HEAVY metal.
same !
yup i've requested it and others like it before as well
What would your example of higher-level heavy metal be? Just wondering.
@@jlizard5357 Brutal death metal, grind core, porno grind etc. Thats the heaviest u can go! :D
@@helloyou3077 The wording of it makes it seem like hes talking about quality rather than heaviness.
Believe me, when I was a beginner in Electric Wizard's discography, I felt the same way. It took me many listenings to really appreciate their music. Now I'm a big fan of the band it's really easy for me to decipher their songs and the structure of the songs. Feel free to come back to this band, because it is really worth it.
This band was definitely a tough one for me at first, too. Definitely one to ease into in order to really understand what’s going on. I think this was a little too much for them so early in their doom exploration. I think they should’ve listened to Wizard Bloody Wizard first, or really sat with some less intense doom for a while before jumping into Dopethrone. Maybe they’ll revisit one day...would be interesting to see the change in perspective once a bit more immersed in the purpose of the music, which is to embrace the emotional ride rather than to combat it with how you want to feel in the moment.
@@emilyannler i listen to both black and death metal i dont understand why people think it is that great
@@emilyannler what is the genre?
The whole dopethrone album is to stoner doom what Raw Power is to punk
ok i definely change my mind i think doom is a cool genre. I did not like it at first. It is unique and i should not have lied about it sorry.
This was def diff, but this was cool, the vocals grew on me, but that instrumentation, those riffs were epic!!! and the drums were great!! Hope to see this marathon continue!
tbh i could barely even concentrate on their reactions .... i just love this song way too fkn much
This is the first time i've seen them look genuinely uncomfortable during a reaction. Especially Ryan making self-pacifying gestures with his hands throughout the whole video, lol
This and mr bungle
Haha "self-pacifying gestures".
Bell Witch's Mirror Reaper would be hilarious lol.
Saw them perform it live, it was like being sandblasted
LOL.... yeah. That would be hilarious.
Let's offer up something better though... Sleep's Dopesmoker.
Acid Mammoth!!!😁
Let's get some Acid Bath poppin in here
bahaha and acid bath would have the complete opposite affect
Mad respect to you both. I’ve been watching you guys do your thing for many years.
I appreciate the honesty, the realness.
This band is not meant to be contained in a recording. They are meant to be experienced live. Doom is such a powerful genre to experience live. Huge speaker stacks and the weight of the music hitting your body and soul.
Candlemass - Bewitched
Pentagram - All Your Sins
Saint Vitus - Burial At Sea
All classic doom metal from formative bands in the mid 80s.
Ryan's struggle is prelude to him becoming an all out psychotic Electric Wizard fanatic! :P
For real, I haven't listened to this song in a minute but there are definitely more Electric Wizard songs that are really heavy and groovy and don't seem to fall apart the way "Funeralopolis" does. This song is extreme anger and disgust being expressed and I think its for a valid reason.
I'm sure there are some Electric Wizard songs you could groove too and enjoy at least a little bit.
Dopethrone
Ryan needs to hear the different vocal approach used on Witchcult Today
@@saltysamurai or even the tracks on their debut,
I think Dunwich would be the perfect Electric Wizard song for them
For me the whole point of this album is to lose yourself in the wall of distorted clipping noise. I don't really care about weed culture wouldn't say I'm a stoner, but listening to this stoned is an experience
The clipping is from crappy sources like the version they listened to here. Get the CD or the vinyl.
@@vincenzonapoles4371 I have it on vinyl, it is done on purpose to give the feeling of the music being pushed to the limit
@@PK_Mega_Awesome there is no clipping on the vinyl. You may be referring to a different sound of you hear it on the vinyl.
@@vincenzonapoles4371 i guess he means analog distortion, not digital clipping
Umm guys it's a fuzz pedal with with extreme clipping and a scooped out mids. You all need to go read up on the gear that makes these sound. Of course it's heavily clipped it's a square wave being sent to the Amp.
as someone who loves electric wizard but hates reaction videos, this video was a joy to watch
I think you guys would enjoy their song “Dunwich”
It’s got the heaviness and the power, but it’s a little less distorted vocally and a good deal more streamlined with a very satisfying chorus. Might be worth checking out for you, reaction or not
Dunwich is catchy as hell too.
This track and album were really Electric Wizard at their most extreme. Think back to Dream Theater: remember how you guys heard Metropolis first? Well, that was kinda DT at their most extreme too. These are the tracks that either made people hate these bands or fall in love with them. Electric Wizard, especially, is all about that SOUND. You're meant to get high as shit, crank the music, and just drown in the overpowering aesthetic and forget about everything else. That said, Electric Wizard definitely toned it down a bit after this and released a lot of stuff that was far more accessible. Something like See You In Hell or Black Mass or Flowers of Evil are far easier listens. Not saying you'd love any of those, but if you like the heaviness but are just turned off by how it's too much, you might dig those more.
IMO their most extreme album is the follow up to Dopethrone, Let us Prey. But perfect trilogy with Come my Fanatics..., Dopethrone and Let us Prey is really dark,heavy and trippy.
A huge part of doom/stoner metal vocals that is very different production-wise than other types of metal vocals, is the breathing. Doom vocals especially get the heavy inhale to heavy exhale in the mic, that adds to the sharpness of taking in a breath to warn the listener to the sigh of damnation afterwards. It's a really key, common feature in this genre of music and adds to the unsettling nature of things. It's not something that you'd pick out right away, but once you notice it makes a lot of sense.
I make music and I never thought of using the breath to enhance the feeling of the song. Bro you just planted new ideas in my head. Thank you.
This is easily my favorite review they’ve done. Their reaction is so real, visceral, and you can see this took an actual mental and physical toll on both of them.
We need more.
Hail the Wizard!
PLEASE.. don't let people trick you into trying to react to "Dopesmoker" by sleep lmfaoo it's SOOOO LONG, it's "challenging" to listen to. if ur gonna take a first dive into Sleep, go with Dragonaut.. it's wayyy your groove i promise
Well sorry to tell you but they absolutely hated it
They did it on Patreon
@@brezz6759 rip
@@urvermin2682 I was hearing it for the first time with them and I actually liked it
I put dragonaut on my playlist
@@brezz6759 dragonaut or dopesmoker?
@@itexistsbeyondtimedeeznuts7949 dragonaut
Also idk why dopesmoker is not on the streaming platform i use 😔
Haven't even watched yet, but... THIS is a milestone reaction! Never clicked on something so fast.
EDIT: 13:40 Ryan was obviously joking when he said that The Wizard wasn’t trying to appeal to anybody, but he's actually on point about that. Pretty sure Jus Osbourne (Lead Vocals/Guitar) has said they were all pretty much aiming to get as fucked on drugs and alcohol as possible and record the most repulsive piece of music ever conceived, and I think they succeeded at their goal, which is why it works so well. I love it. This song will grow on you.
More Electric Wizard to check out:.... Stone Magnet, Wizard in Black, Dunwich, Dopethrone, The Barbarian
Also, the name of the band is taken from two Black Sabbath songs. Thought you guys should know since y'all love Sabbath so much.
I'll also add that George is right on the money - this song feels unsettling, but there's a place in music for songs that make you feel that way. Just like horror movies may be frightening or unsettling, music can also be used to make you a bit uncomfortable!
But please listen to something by Fu Manchu next, they're a classic stoner rock band and not at all hard to listen to. For something laidback I would suggest No Dice.
I know these dudes would absolutely dig Fu Manchu.
Kind of the road one thousand percent all the way
You guys should do Locust Star by Neurosis!
Yes! Neurosis is the KING of sludge metal.
I never thought of the connection between Electric Wizard, Prince and shitting on the sidewalk. Well done boys
In terms of other stoner metal/rock bands, "prehistoric Dog" by Red Fang is a good one. "The Incomparable Mr. Flannery" by Clutch is also great. "Iron Swan" or "Cloak of Feathers" by The Sword if you wanted to revisit them.
Can't disagree with any of that 👍
Oh look, finally someone who has both: 1) heard enough variety to make recommendations other than the obvious and 2) actually paid attention to what LIV enjoy! And they're on topic with the genre of the marathon!? Burn the witch!
Thr prehistoric dog video with the beer cans is awesome
Iron Fuckin Swan for the victory
Electric Wizard is my favorite band and I would have started y'all on Return Trip from Come My Fanatics. Lots more groove. If you want instrumental from them check out Mountains of Mars, I guarantee you will both love it.
I think they’d like dunwich. That song is really catchy
Will do
please give Kyuss another chance. I would love to see your reaction to ''Green Machine''
This is the heaviest song ever, bro, play this shit when the sum melts the earth
ISIS - So Did We
Cult of Luna - Dim
I feel like these two songs are a good gateway into this kind of style in the sense that they’re just as slow and plodding but with a more melodic and “clean” approach.
I don't think they've done ISIS yet, I might be wrong. Would be epic if they haven't!
Isis - So Did We
Isis - Holy Tears
Isis- False Light
And Also Death Grips - I want i needed ( i Just love DG lol)
They did So Did We. It’s on Patreon
They've done So did we on patreon
not the same style at all
Well you did it guys, you listened to the heaviest song ever made and lived to tell the tale. I think you need some groovier stoner stuff now, Orange Goblin, Windhand, Desert Storm, DOWN, Uncle Acid, Kylesa, All Them Witches.
All Them Witches may just be the best band out there right now.
sleep!
Don't forget Pentagram and Trouble.
Windhand Orchard for sure!
Boris
I think you guys need to check out some more of Electric Wizard’s discography. You jumped straight into the deep end of the pool with this pick. You should revisit them and check out a more accessible song to get a better perspective on the sound that they’re going for. I’d recommend “The Chosen Few”.
Anything off of their first album is far more accessible than this, although barbarian would have been a better song off this album then diving head first.
Your recommendation is heartily seconded! Another fine choice would be companion piece “Master of Alchemy”. Love the fan-generated video for the tune which utilizes footage from the silent film “Haxan”.
I would recommend "Saturnine" as an intro to EW.
Dopethrone. One of the grooviest albums ever recorded. Every riff is doom electric magic.
I'd sit in my room for hours playing along to this album.
Gotta get some Weedeater. One of the pillars of stoner doom
Meh
Sleep acid king electric wizard and bongzilla are the 4 corners of stoner doom
Yes! God luck and good speed
Wizard FIGHT! Also Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
@@sq5280 no god luck and good speed!??
@@pata3110 or Hammer Handle!
Windhand.....Female fronted doom band. She actually sings. One of the best in the genre! Doom can be a hard listen for some...others it's very meditative due to the slow repetitiveness. Song Windhand - Winter Sun
I have fallen so in love with Windhand the last few months.
I saw them live in a small club of like 100 people and it was so incredible. She owned that stage!
@@reliablealibi7341 seen em a couple of times and they never disappoint. Doom is something that needs to be experienced live.
Orchard! Oh
I think you would really enjoy this song "YOB - Marrow" YOB is a doom metal band from Eugene, Oregon- The song marrow is from their album "Clearing the Path to Ascend" which Rolling Stone Magazine named it the best metal album and the 50th best album overall of 2014. I have that album in my car for 7 years now :D
Great suggestion. :-) Yob is awesome.
This was the first wizard song I’ve ever heard, and the first song I ever learned to play on bass. The groove is just amazing and is so fucking fun to jam along to for hours on end .
Would love to see your reaction to YOB - Adrift In the Ocean. It’s quite a bit different as far as doom goes and is genuinely beautiful imo, compared to the wizard which os just BRUTAL
I really feel Electric Wizard is a future favorite for you guys. Satanic Rites of Drugula or the Chosen Few next please! They’ve got riff power only rivaled by Black Sabbath
The Sabbath worship of Electric Wizard is great
Named after 2 Black Sabbath songs: Electric funeral and The wizard
EW first album is selftitled like the first Sabbath one and they use the same font for the name on those
Dunwich too
Chosen few é do caralho
Okay, "I'm the Mountain" should be next ahah
what they said! never thought i'd see my fav guys here lmao, nazdarovie!!
Dudes I've been trying to recommend that to KeyofGeebz so often now.
Love you guys.. show I've seen In Utrecht was alot more personal and powerful then the one in Amsterdam tho ^^ guess Pilgrims needs to marinate a bit longer still
Helll yess
Oh yea! What a journey
Original 16 minute version with that wonderful intro too
For this marathon I highly recommend Elder “ Dead Roots Stirring” you guys will definitely dig it more than this.
This
They did that song last december. Its on Patreon.
Weird thing is - I think this song is quite a straightforward/groovy one as Stoner metal/Doom goes... Clearly audible riff and simple beat... You guys have surely enjoyed more extreme stuff than this!
I think they just can't handle the noise honestly EW is definitely harsh even though it's not technically extreme
@@fabiansanchez7203 it feels like napalm bombs encased in 77 layers of tar, syrup and gravel
@@zelim9367 and that’s why we love it 😍
I think you’re missing the point.
This is as extreme as brutal DM - it’s a DIFFERENT kind of extreme though. This may be simpler and slower than other forms of extreme metal, but it’s more intense, ugly, and unpleasant. The sound drowns you and the misanthropic and hateful atmosphere adds to it.
I think a more apt comparison to super noisy metal like this is heavy industrial or experimental, krautrock or even 70s-80s underground avant-prog (at least in texture and attitude) than technical or brutal metal, and that’s why I love it. It’s like comparing Scum era Napalm Death which is extremely abrasive even by today’s standards to their more straightforward DM stuff later, both crazy, but in different ways.
I think people who have been into this sort of stuff for years (like me) tend to forget just how ugly and bleak it really sounds, especially to people who aren’t used to it, or just listen to straightforward heavy metal. It’s a different side to the music coin here.
I caught Electric Wizard at Hell Fest about 10 years ago. Its still in my top 3 gigs. And my feet are still vibrating from it.
YOB - adrift in the ocean.
When they played my town in 2000 they were so pissed they couldn't play! Hilarious but still one of my fave bands ever. Went downhill since his wife joined in my opinion but still good shit.
George comparing this to stuff crust pizza is hilariously accurate
Stuffed crust pizza and Prince songs that almost work
I feel the same way about doom. Love the guitar tones and heaviness but I can't listen to it for longer periods. I'd rather listen to death metal at that point. Give me some Baest from Denmark and I'm good.
@@Herringboner check out Gatecreeper's new record, "An Unexpected Reality," the first half is noisy, brutal, ignorant blast-beat filled each metal, the second half is a single droney, doom-filled, sludgefest.
If you mean cheese with heaviness, then the stuffed crust represents the nutty end of the song.
Sooooo accurate!
Easily my favorite video from y'all. Even as someone who absolutely loves this song/group. Thank y'all so much. Much love.
That tone is the the scuzziest, greasiest, most rage inducing cacophony of over-distorted fuzz ever recorded, and makes most doom sound more like a bad day than the end of the world lol. The guitars fuzz and the bass's fuzz are so grimey and don't match, and that's unsettling enough, but absolutely sick!! But when the vocals come in just as distorted, but also not matching up really with the rest, the 3 different distorted tones slightly off of each other plays with your head, and makes it ache if you're not used to it.. it's an acquired taste, I don't think anyone would go from radio rock to electric wizard and be able to stand it, but it makes you feel something, and crap rock is devoid of that fire and emotion.. that said, if the vocals had been cleaner, more melodic, and coherent, I think this song would've been huge, because musically it's undeniable, but the added distortion of the vocals on top is like an FU to the mainstream, and just a manifesto of their whole "legalize drugs and murder" ethos. If you want cleaner vocals, check out dunwich, or any of the stuff when Liz joined the band.. chosen few, Torquemada 71, satanic rites of drugula.. much more melody, but still doomy AF. But funeralopolis is THE pinnacle of crushing tones, they don't need to go fast to compete with Slayer and other bands known to bring out the aggression in the listener.. when that riff kicks the fuzz on, or turns up the guitars volume knob, whatever, it absolutely hypes me up to the point I could smash someone's nose into powder, much like payback by Slayer, only MORE crushing because it's almost in slow motion adding to the tension and angst.. I listen to the song at least 1-3 times a week, and force coworkers to hear it at earsplitting dbs along with me! They'll learn to love it, it's the perfect soundtrack to the hellscape I work at.. lol 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Celtic Frost: A dyng God coming into human flesh
Yesss
If they were uncomfortable with this I can’t imagine their reaction to that
@@shroomzed2947 i dont like funeralopolis much but loved a dying god pretty much instantly
@@shroomzed2947 i don't know, a dying God has more ambiental vibe, specially in the beginning, I think it's easier to dig.
No. We need a Dopesmoker reaction lol
I'm shocked Pentagram wasn't in this marathon. Their music is Doom but also groovy.
I've been at them to do Forever My Queen.
Relentless oh yeah!!!!!
Pentagram and Black sabbath, two bands one love
Guys, the band Revelation seem so underated. Have you heard the album Never Comes Silence? I'm from UK but this USA band was/is one of the best. Early 90s true doom.
Forever My Queen, Relentless or Review Your Choices
the cool thing is Ryan said this song gets him feeling the aggressive nature of the song, where as I've always loved this song but for me it was the opposite, i recognised the aggressiveness but it's always made me feel more openly emotional, the honesty in the raw emotions make me feel that way. I think it's the mark of a great song to give off multiple diverse emotions from the same piece.
I can't believe you reacted to this. I've missed a lot of videos I gotta catch up on. When my friend showed me Electric Wizard, I was a noob when it came to metal. I still am. I dedicate time to other genres too so it's just about having time but I'll get around to everything. Hip-Hop is my focus recently. I mean that J. Cole just dropped too! But anyways, check out Supercoven is you haven't already. One of my favorites. But love those cover with the devil and a bong 🤣
Once you get over the "this is too much" hump, you realize how groovy and bluesy the Wizard is. Witchcult Today might be an easier approach, the self-titled is also less heavy. Or you can go to ...Come my fanatics if you want to abandon all hope. 😂

These metal floaties are still so small. I have been blaring this since I was 15. The reason why it sounds like noise to you and a lot of people is because of dissonance the science of sound makes it actually hurt sometimes. Like everything it gets easier and more rewarding

Sleep - dopesmoker :D
Conan!
And now for something completely different- King Lizard and the Wizard Gizzard. Great band 👍
Yes! They should do Crumbling Castle
I think Nonagon Infinity was their peak
@@fieserfactsack9635 Nonagon was my intro to the band and I agree with you. But LIV probably won't do a full album, so I'd agree Crumbling Castle is the best starter song imo. That or Rattlesnake. The only thing I could see them doing off of Nonagon would be the Gamma Knife/People Vultures video
*King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard ;)
Do Sleep (no matter what the song), they're like a clean and more refined version of Electric Wizard, I bet you'll love it.
And if you want more instrumental (no vocals) I would recommend Bongripper's Satan worshipping Doom. Or Misirable
I HIGHLY (NO PUN INTENDED) RECOMMEND HIGH ON FIRE- 10,000 YEARS OFF OF THEIR ALBUM "THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE" SUCH A HEAVY SONG WITH A KILLER BASS LINE
So glad you guys did this song, great honest reaction. So many more great doom bands out there. Definitely need to check out Sleep, Y.O.B, Bongripper, Acid Mammoth, Rezn..... too many bands to list, but keep up the good work fellas. 🤘
Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed
Slomatics - And Yet It Moves
Conan - Total Conquest
Pallbearer - An Offering Grief
Dude you all are starting STRONG. I'm excited for sludge/doom week and I hope some Sleep is in the mix!
Like all Doom or stoner metal, its like eating spicy food... at first feels really agresive, but every time you listen to it again, it just tastes better and compliment the other flavors
This album is significant. As a metal head, this album is considered sacred in some metal circles lol
If you listen to it a few times (esspecialy after smoking) you grow quick to appriciate it.
Doom for me is about feeling dark emotions. Someday you will be in a state of mind where this kind of music will make sense. Don't give up on doom.
same. and also with atmospheric black metal,, hopefully one day they react to Dunkelheit or any song off Filosofem
That song/album has so much atmosphere.
One thing that I would like to say here about doom metal and stuff: some people, me included, like to divide doom metal into smaller subgenres. So, except of course Black Sabbath, who gave a doom blueprint, "traditional" doom metal was born in the 80s with bands like Pentagram, Candlemass and Saint Vitus. Bands like Electric Wizard or Sleep are very often called "stoner doom": they're much heavier than those traditional bands, louder and have much more distorted sound.
So. Electric Wizard is a classic, but it's more of a stoner doom classic, not just doom classic.
It's amazing seeing the reaction by you guys. Ryan wasn't feeling it. George respected it. And I LOVED it. I l am digging this Stoner/Doom Rock genre.
My Dying Bride - Dreadful Hours!
That's one that will make you uncomfortable but still goes hard af
"its too much" *stares at bell witch*
Stares in Dopesmoker haha
This reaction is gonna be rough...
how did you make this comment four months ago
@@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816 PATREON MEMBERSHIP!!!
@@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816 he’s the doom commenter. Unsettling, pushing boundaries.
QhT
What
I'm really shocked about three actions. This is one of the grooviest smoothest metal tracks ever made. To say that it's not musical is honestly baffling.
I was introduced to this band via their album Witchcult Today, I was lucky to catch them live and what an experience.
Love that album!
The Sword is some excellent stoner metal worth checking out.
I wouldn't call them stoner really, but I would call them one of the best metal bands in the last 20 years, love the sword.
Iron Swan is awesome
YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funeralopolis (and "Dopethrone" in general) is definitely at the deep end of the doom/sludge/stoner corner (maybe not the deepest of the deep) and I would not be surprised if if turns people off from Electric Wizard all together. It really is one of the heaviest, most distorted and noisiest music of the apocalypse in the darkest sense (especially since it was made over 20 years ago). But that is also the beauty of it: if you are the kind of person who is looking for the extremes, looking for that fix in heaviness, distortion and repetitiveness then "Dopethrone" is, to my mind at least, of the milestones along with "...Come My Fanatics". It basically is "heavy" for the people who are into heavy music.
If you are interested in more accessible Electric Wizard, "Witchcult Today" or "Black Masses" are probably better bets. They are still very heavy but the production is way less noisier and more in the "retro" type (I think at least "Witchcult Today" was recorded with authentic 70's equipment). The vocals are also a bit more approachable although they are still buried in the mix and I think they are meant to be taken more as an instrument than just singing. I would recommend the following songs: "Witchcult Today", "Dunwich" or "Satanic Rites of Drugula". They are all from "Witchcult Today" and that is actually my favourite album from the band.
Poor Ryan needed to go to church after that lmaoo
I think George hit the nail on the head with "hypnotic". A lot of doom is very slow and very repetitive. Once you get a head full of weed, there's nothing better than crushingly heavy repetitious riffs. But you guys really jumped into the deep end with this one... definitely not for everyone. Respect for giving it a shot.
If the vocals are a sticking point, there's actually a lot of really excellent instrumental doom out there. I won't inundate you with a whole bigass list... but maybe check out the band Bongripper. Similarly mighty, slow, heavy riffs... but without the vocals. The album 'Satan Worshiping Doom' is a highlight. If I had to pick a single song... maybe 'Worship' from that album. Tasty, dirty guitars, hefty riffs all over the place. Good stuff.
You guys should do something from Down - NOLA. Stoned The Crow is an amazing song.
That whole album rips from start to finish. Phils best vocals ever in my opinion.
I like that album but still hope LIV continues never reviewing Anselmo’s work.
@@saltysamurai ok, but...why?
@@cdm46290 because today even murderers and rapist can be forgiven, but if you ever said or did something “racist” in the past, no matter how much you apologize, you can never forgiven. The fact that he isn’t even a racist guy if people just look into his charity work and values would know that.
bury me in smoke!!!
LOL At the look on Ryan's face at 4:48. "The riffs! They burn!"
Understand the reaction. These guys are classic to me. The vocals are just another instrument. Listening in a small bar with the volume to 11, drunk on a few beer... sometimes you just want to feel that feeling.
I remember watching this channel for years and thinking man I wish they’d do some stoner doom. Then I see you guys doing a marathon of it
Boris - Akuma no uta
It's like getting screw by Godzilla 👍
ohmygod yes
I'm a simple man. I see Electric Wizard, I press play.
As a fan of Stoner/doom, even I find some bands and songs hard work. Well done for giving it a go.
“This is like a stuffed crust pizza.” 😂😂😂
Haha I love that reaction. I love Electric Wizard, and kinda get a kick of seeing other people being shocked and disgusted by them. The whole Dopethrone album (along with Come My Fanatics) is truly some of the rawest, heaviest stuff out there. Nihilistic, bleak, drug-fueled, wild, heavy. I don't agree with Ryan about it not being musical, though. From my experience, musicality can take many shapes and forms, and can get very extreme at times (hell, there's some weird, WEIRD stuff when you dig in to modern classical music!). You should try some Sunn O))), Earth or Boris to find bands that are really pushing the boundries of what heavy music is with their Drone stuff. Oh, and if you thought this was unsettling, musically and lyrically, you should try out their song ''We Hate You'' from the same album. Pretty dark and fucked up!
Well it's quite normal, the reaction they have. When I first heard some Black Metal music, I was like "wtf, where is the melody ?" Now I'm very into it and I hear the melody. But it took me years of listening harsher and harsher stuff for my ears to understand and appreciate. It's a process.
Doin doom without The Obsessed or Saint Vitus is like going to church without praisin the lord
Why not both? Lol They don’t sound very similar to each other due to Wino and Chandler’s guitar influences being so different.
You could skip on The Obsessed but Saint Vitus is essential
@@billgeezeriommi My favorite doom band next to Sabbath.
You guys have managed to impress me more than once now. I mean, you really go there instead of just walking around the perimeter.
When the power chords first come in, every time I feel I could run through stone and turn it to magma, earth cracking heavy
