About toadliquor:
Although not a major name in the metal world, Toadliquor has enjoyed a small cult following among fans of doom metal since the late '‘80s. The West Coast doom metal band (which was formed in Arroyo Grande, CA in 1989 but moved to Olympia, WA) has never come anywhere close to mainstream acceptance, and that is no doubt by design. Thriving on their underground status, Toadliquor have favored distorted, noisy, dissonant, brutal sludge that is riff-driven rather than melody-driven. Tempo-wise, Toadliquor is the exact opposite of speed metal, thrash metal and death metal; their riffs are deliberately slow, showing a strong Black Sabbath influence. Black Sabbath, of course, has been a huge influence on doom metal, stoner rock and sludge bands in general, and Toadliquor is no exception. But as Black Sabbath-obsessed as Toadliquor's riffs are, they aren't nearly as melodic or as accessible by mainstream standards. There is a lot of nuance, musicality and craftsmanship in Black Sabbath's work; Toadliquor, however, is an unapologetic exercise in sensory assault for the sake of sensory assault. And while that approach isn't exactly conducive to landing an opening spot on a U2 or REM tour, it appeals to underground cult followers of Toadliquor (whose other influences included Saint Vitus, the Melvins and Grief).
