I used to thrash Cradle of Filth when going to the gym, great workout music 🤣 Also used to love other old school punk/metal like Dead Kennedys, Pantera, Lard and the album Jello did with DOA.

One of my favourite Doom/Stoner/drone bands is Boris, their albums/EPs Feedbacker and Flood are masterpieces. Early Electric Wizard are a favourite too (hence my avatar) and Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin is another great album, it just oozes cool for me with those thick guitar riffs.

Loving this thread, I'm always looking for new bands to get in to so will be great to see what others on here are listening to.

Never thought I’d see Boris mentioned on Demonland. Flood and Feedbacker are great. Been a long while since I’ve listened to Boris, or Sunn O)) or SunnO))) & Boris…
 

I can’t think of many newish metal albums I’ve really enjoyed besides Rivers of Nihil’s - Where Owls Know My Nane. Loved that album.

    Haven't heard that one will have to give it a run.

    When I saw Sunn O))) play with Boris the bass almost burst my ear drums haha

    I don't know if I'm getting old or the music really just isn't that good anymore? Most younger people I know listen to more rap/r&b or electronic music these days which I still don't mind but nothing tops decent rock/metal. I've been told to give King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard a go but haven't got around to it yet

    On topic, from now until first bounce on Friday it's Dream Until You Die by Martini Martini & the Bone Palace Orchestra.

    If we lose it will be The World Is Broken by the same band 😂


    If we win it's Take Your Skin Off and Dance

    PS - far better versions of these songs are found on their Live At The Famous Rainbow Hotel CD (which I was there for when they recorded) but it's not available online anywhere.

    For sure, it definitely gets you going. I think I might have turned off them a bit the last time I saw them when Dani just walked off the stage with a couple of songs to go in the gig.

    Everyone should love Electric Wizard in my opinion :p Orange Goblin I may have to check out! 

    Have you heard of Uncle Acid and the Dead Beats Gonzo?

    I think 10 to 11 Tuesday night prelim week is perfect for this one. And it’s certainly time for the Demon cleaner!

    Haven't heard them but they're on my Spotify now.

    Did you see Wizard when they came out in 2005-ish? Supercoven and Return Trip were immense. I saw them at the old Green Room twice and went down to Geelong to watch them as well at some small pub with around 10-20 people watching. I reckon the owner was worried the bass was going to bring the place down 🤣

    Greatest stoner album ever produced. Period.

    Yes I did! Oct 05 if my memory serves me at the Green Room. What a time. Was so into sludge and doom back then.

    Steely Dan is in heavy rotation right now. Way before my time, but the music is undeniable. It's good for the soul.

    Pantera

    Loved Pantera. Can't enjoy their music anymore seeing as the Abbott brothers are no longer with us. Dimebag was the best metal guitarist, bar none, in my opinion. Such a tragic ending. America is a seriously f'ed up country

    Didn’t realise there was such appreciation for metal on DL. I'll be listening to all the suggestions posted in this thread

    As a youngster I was big into metal. Thrash, death, grindcore. Mellowed out as I got older and have a real appreciation for the likes of Soungarden but over the past while (might be because of lockdown) I’m listening to all the old metal again. Napalm Death and Carcass are getting a lot of playtime at the moment.

    In terms of stuff that I never listened to previously (and wish i had) I have to say Meshuggah are a serious band. Very complicated, layered and technically accomplished metal. Their drummer, Tomas Haake, is gifted. They are well worth a listen.

    Right now I’m blasting John Lydon through my ears buds while I vacuum. Not Johnny Rotten, as in, Sex Pistols. John Lydon as frontman of PiL (Public Image Ltd). I do loves me some post-punk.

    To get you through to the prelim.

    I need some calm. Maybe some early John Martyn, Joni Mitchell or a couple of tracks from Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell would do nicely.

    You are all so hip, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed, but loving reading and lots to try on Spotify 

    Husband’s prepared a late 70s/early 80s playlist for his 40th year high school reunion (omg), which he’s unleashing tonight. So it’s Wednesday night, on our second bottle of red, listening to nostalgia. bit of dancing happening 🕺

    Work tomorrow, but whatever, it’s lockdown and every day feels the same.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
