Just how high were you? I can't think of a single band FARTHER from rap metal than Bongzilla. There's not a one second of rapping in anything they've ever done and it's barely metal. Mostly wall-of-sound sludge with screaming.

Bongzilla rule.

Yaay!
A Bongzilla fan, and when I read the "rap-metal" thing, I too almost fell off my chair!

I LOVE Bongzilla......I think Gateway is my favorite record, but I haven't heard the new one. Any reviews?

Well, the consensus on Amerijuanican is that it's more of the same. Now, since we're talking about Bongzilla, that's not necessarily a bad thing. But there's really nothing new on it. I was sort of disappointed, because they brought Dixie Dave from Weedeater in to play bass. I thought he might shake things up just a bit (as Dave is wont to do), but it didn't happen. So it's essentially Gateway Mark II, for what that's worth.

I say you could do a lot worse than more of the same Bongzilla.


Edit: Actually, I should add that you can recognize that Dixie Dave is playing bass. There's definitely more of his up-front sound. But in the end, it's still Bongzilla - thick, loud, and insanely heavy.

Must agree that it always seems to be more of the same, and I like the same any day. They're just good. Every time I've seen them play with the exception of the Relapse Fest, they begged for weed between each song.

neurosis is cool.

"enemy of the sun" was the first i heard. recommended. get the version with the Takeahnase demo. awesome.

"through silver in blood" is intense.

why haven't i heard the newest one?

NOT CRAP.

Ha! Yeah, they always do that.

You should've seen their van at Emissions from the Monolith a few years ago. It looked like there was a coal seam fire burning inside for 2 days.

Seeing Neurosis in a club is a riveting and religious experience.

So Neurosis are playing the UK! Excellent! Kentish Town Forum, Saturday the 18th November. Fantastic!

NINETEEN QUID?

not crap, 8

i saw that tour too and Candiria opened. Candiria is definitely 'vaguely rap-metal', so that's probably who he was talking about.
