drop tuning mental metal riffage.

don't want something that's fast all the time...some slow heavy laden metal zep type riffage without that madman, daft as shit ,monster in the woods "vocal"

well, since you're asking,I'll tell you what gave me the idea......I was listening to Steven Wilsons version of SIGN O' THE TIMES by Prince and there is a terrific drop tuning chorus in there.....I thought, wait a mo,maybe I could like SOME of this stuff......

    I like heavy (not necessarily downtuned) retro-sounding but melodic stuff.  Lots of great bands mentioned already but I'd add

    Witchcraft
    Orchid
    Windhand
    Blood Ceremony
    Mount Salem
    Royal Thunder
    Avatarium
    Kadavar
    Baroness

  • Our stuff's all drop-Db, and almost entirely riff-based.

    Of course, that doesn't mean you'll like it, but still...

  • Never knew Steven Wilson covered Prince.  Surprisingly good though!

    Mastodon are my favourites for this. Riffs for days, but also some really powerful songwriting - awesome melodies, and some great singing (in the studio anyway, their voices can be a bit ropey live). And Brent Hinds is a cracking lead player too.





    This one from the latest album is heavy as fuck.


    This is also from the latest album, it's just killer. Belting chorus.



    This one's much more chilled out but does have a heavy bit at around 2:10, and a stunning solo at 2:50, probably Brent's best.
