never heard of the term "stoner metal" either ....bands as Millionaire,Kyuss and QOTSA are just listed as stoner rock even though they are more metal-ish than the mp3's i've just listened to. i like "A Good Day For The Sun" best, nice tempo and great use of the organ, "Hey J" was a bit too cheerful for a sunday morning.:H
Some stoner rock bands could be called stoner metal. like Gas giant, Spiritual beggars, Orange goblin and Sixty watt shaman.
There was a band called Mass who made excellent doomy stuff, but the band currently doing the rounds under that name isn't them. The ultimate stoner metal/doom act are Sunn 0))). You know this, in your heart.
There is a death metal band named cephalic carnage who are obviously potheads, and their music is fucking insane. The lyrics.....are really stupid, but amazing at the same time. Check them out!
There's nothing like hotboxing in your room with a big fat cone, listening to some Electric Wizard or Orange Goblin!
I don't think 60 watt could be considered as Metal.. I actualy think Reason to live is metal.. seed of decades is so bluesy.. won't consider it Metal.. >> my point! Peace..
