not really stoner rock or doom, but we've got a bit of sludge/doom influence.

Everything sounds good so far. No one know anything geared more towards stoner rock though?

Check out Devil to Pay from IN

First and foremost MA's 5ive's Continuum Research Project should be mentioned - Kyuss influenced psychedelic stoner/sludge doom metal. I think they're on a bit of a hiatus now though.

Warhorse - amazing. I hope they have another go at a reunion....

Cable - southern tinged heavy sludge/doom metal from CT. Think they recently broken up (again)... and I really don't see them coming back anytime soon.

Ogre - amazing heavy traditional doom with some 70's parts from ME, kind of like The Hidden Hand and Clutch.

Eldemur Krimm - another great heavy trad doom band from ME

We're All Gonna Die - hard rock/heavy doom from MA. They play around here pretty often, worth checking out.

Planet Gemini - trad doom, they have about 7 or so albums out but don't really get too much notice. not too sure if they ever play live. think they're around the Cap area though.

Heretic's Fork - slow southern tinged doom from RI

Presley - really atmospheric slightly psychedelic stoner instrumental from MA

Ichabod - ex-hardcore band setting down and playing some slow doomy stonerish metal from MA

Doomriders - heavy loud sludge/stoner band (has a member from Converge I think) from MA

Tides - heavy atmospheric hydrahead type sludge from MA and NY

Seemless - stonerish metalcore from MA. not really worth checking out unless you like bad hardcore/metalcore.

and of course if you didn't know... Scissorfight - rocky southern stoner from NH

Almost all of these bands have myspace pages or should, damn it. There's probably a shit load we're still missing too. You can also check out http://www.traktor7.com/ - local label with some crust/stoner/doom/punk/heavy rock/etc, run by I believe the frontman of Milligram (RIP), and now he's in Raw Radar War.

Also a lot of these bands played at Sweet Leaf Fest, awesome stoner/sludge/doom, which was at Evo's in Lowell this past year, and I hope they do it again this year.

speaking of sludge/doom/etc... i'm kind of passively looking to start that sort of band... i can't drive, and i'm a terrible guitarist [good enough for drone/minimalriffage though!], but i've got synths and recording gear! bands like this need synths!
