“What happens when fresh green collides with Metal?  Duuuuuuuuuuude…”

On this, Metal Nerdery’s Stoner Metal Showcase, Vol.1, we check out some of the early, influential Stoner & Doom Metal bands (*cough* Black Sabbath *more coughing*), discuss the differences between the different subgenres, and talk about anything and everything that may have relevant tangentionalality to Stoner Metal.

So, roll another bowl, prepare your favorite relaxer, crank up the lava lamps and black lights and JOIN US for a trip down the rabbit hole where everything is wood paneling, shag carpeting and incredibly heavy, fuzzy, stony rifftastical goodness.
