#268 STONER DOOM METAL VOL. 7: THE SEARCH FOR DOOM

“It’s all the same…only the names will change…”

Sometimes, just like with “identical” twins, identifying the differences between subgenres can be difficult. Sure, they may seem the same, but there are subtle differences between the two that make them unique as individuals. Similarly, as with the “speed metal vs thrash metal” debate which has persisted since the 80’s, so continues the everlasting debate between Stoner and Doom metal:  

Are they the same? Or are they different? 

And if they ARE different, then WHAT is the difference?

In short, both Stoner AND Doom metal trace the source of each of its respective origins back to Black Sabbath, with each possessing an arsenal of crushing riffs, tuned down guitars, and slow, heavy, trudging tempos. But if there were a single distinction to draw the line between these two subgenres, then that line has to be within the lyrical subject matter, as shown by the following logic*:

IF drug references, THEN stoner metal. 

IF not, THEN doom metal. 

Prepare yourself for an onslaught of Nerdery off shoots, including the forthcoming (as yet to be started) “Angry Matt” podcast, prepare for our upcoming “Bon Jovi album dive”, stick around for our sandwich segment on “Sandwich Nerdery”, including a rant-filled accusation against a former sandwich giant who was wrongly accused of wreaking gastrointestinal havoc with their “muffalotta” and JOIN US as we attempt to get to the heart of the matter at hand with STONER DOOM METAL VOL. 7:  THE SEARCH FOR DOOM

*While we’re well aware that this is not an exact science and our logic may seem a tad “dirty sloppy”, it’s the best we could do given the circumstances.
