This album is a genuine gem, to hear ANYTIME!

Jim Newstead and Doom Metal! Two of my favorite things in one video!

My favorite part about this genre is how it can be huge, loud and bombastic and also small, innocent and pretty. It has so much different dynamics, and plays so much with it's own form, while in essence staying true to the core traditions of metal. Doom is a offspring from Black Sabbath, and gladly not only the big, slow, evil and heavy parts stayed with the genre, but also the 70's production has stayed with this genre, and is in a way one of the last genres staying true to the absolutely great 70's production sound. Every instrument is possible to tell apart! Love it!

Couldn’t agree more…. as you’ll discover in the next few videos. I think I mention Black Sabbath and Ozzy a few times!

Stoner/doom/psych are the greatest musical genres i have ever stumbled on in my life.

I love Sanctuary with a passion. It's by far the Elder song I listen to the most, I just can't get enough of it. That ending, good God, is so powerful!!!! It leaves me wishing it went on for a couple minutes longer!!!!

I remember recommending this way back! Glad enough people agreed with me to get you to take a look! Great band and what a gorgeous vinyl as well

Ah….. so it was YOU’RE fault!!! Thanks Polyvalent. 👍🏼

One of the best albums of 2017

wow wow wow a red-orange vinyl !! this music is great, I love the metal rock feeling. And Jim, I'm still counting the days without Nightwish on your channel ! please more Nightwish !

Motorpsycho is one of their big influences, great call!

Seriously one of my favorite bands, ever.

This is great Jim, never heard of them before. Somehow it's escaped my radar, progressive sludge stoner, great mix. 👏👏🤘🤘

Love Elder, check out there 2015 album Lore its a masterpiece

Haha I feel you completely when you nearly go speechless Jim! It really touches the soul. Love this band. This record is one for the car, start to finish. Puts me in the zone.

Nailed this offering jim thanks great sound. agree this needs a big venue to feel the bass and live in the sound

"Some of you will dislike this intensely. But, give it a go..." :draws a deep breath in trepidation: :edit: . . . . That was great! I agree, while heavy, I think the slower pace and pristine vocals is what draws me to it.

Whoop whoop 🙌

A couple of free tracks on Bandcamp (though you can pay if you wish to help the band financially) - beholdtheelder.bandcamp.com/album/in-procession-halcyon-live-session

Once again you've hit on a band I'm unfamiliar with. This sound is starting to get closer to what I'd listen to on a daily basis though. Pretty good stuff!

About slow and heavy: here and there it reminded me of the guitar parts in King Crimson's Red (the song)

Hey Jim! What no YES? Lol! Just kidding.😎

Not really familiar with tons of metal but I have to say, I loved this, so thanks!

Not all metal is equal. Glad you enjoyed it!

I'd been streaming this recently and have now bought a copy of the cd. Really liking this album and probably the thing i've been playing most over the past few weeks. I can hear the Motorpsycho comparisons in some of it which is probably why i like it. Monolord are a similar sounding band though a bit slower, heavier and just a bit more 'doom'. Their 'Rust' album was also released in 2017 (give opening track Where Death Meets The Sea a try - though i think i prefer Elder over Monolord at the moment). Great to see a variety in your playlist/videos. There's been a lot of Yes recently (who i've never clicked with) so good to have something new on the channel. Cheers jim 👍

I recommend the previous Elder album to this, Lore as well.

Need to check out more, for sure!

Elder is glorious. Lore is my favourite, but this album is close behind. Definitely don't sleep on their Gold & Silver Sessions EP!

This album has grown on me alot in recent times and this opener is fab....very Sabbath. A record that has definitely encouraged me to check out more from Elder. Have Lore and G&S Sessions lined up next....oh and Jim have you tried any crazy Norse metal yet? My fave is Amon Amarth....check out Verses The World....and Surter Rising. Both will ensure you grow beard, belly, battle axe and drink large kegs of ale....

I’ve never quite got as far as listening to them…. Though I do enjoy (rather too much) ale 🍺, beards, my belly…. Hmm, where did I leave that battle axe??? Norse Metal? Bish bash bosh…. More like NICE metal!

@@JimNewstead ya. Me like metal too. Beer. Me drink beer. Listen metal. Eat like Viking. Shark good. Ah Amarth are just full on thrash but entertaining. Their riffage is astonishing....as long as you don't mind the lack of thematic change for songs. To me pure entertainment though. And when the singer says Awaaaaaaaay.....it just makes me giggle.🍻😂

I like this sound - and I'm not even too much into any metal genres. Maybe, because -as Jim pointed out - this sometimes is akin to Motorpsycho, and they are one of my absolute favourite bands.

It’s uncannily similar in places, eh?

I like this!

More than halfway through, and I'm enjoying it immensely so far, rather than despising it intensely. While I continue to listen, I have to ask as I can't remember if we've discussed them before. How familiar are you with the Moody Blues, Jim? I would really love full vinyl listens to their Magnificent Seven albums, from Days of Future Passed through Seventh Sojourn, especially with my favorite by them, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour being the sixth of the seven.

SANCTUARY!!!!

Hey Jim, may I suggest a Bee Gees track from way back called…………………………………Massachusetts?

Still waiting for your reaction to Michal Lapaj's Are You There album ;)

This sounds great. Like Mastodon meeting Ozzy O. And not quite though. Love the guitar sound.

Interesting....Black Sabbath meets .....shoegaze? At least in it's production sound. I'll have to hear some more tracks. Definitely some proggy progressions in the middle there .

Don’t worry buddy, there’s more coming!

Again, never heard about them. Hooray, real singing. They should have made his voice to stand out more in the remix; I mean louder. Now it’s lost in the music. Not very complicated music; for that, listen to Haken or IQ. The could have used more of the sound spectrum on the electric guitar; most of it is in the lower and lower-middle part. It’s a wall of sound but Devin Townsend does that better. Do I dislike it. No, not at all. Would I buy it? The answer is no, for the reasons mentioned above. I like complicated symphonic and progressive music much more.

Boring
