finding an audience that could deal with it.

Hey,
Some of these were mentioned a few weeks ago in the Melvins thread, since
they have had so much of an influence on this little genre of
collapsing/dense/smothering/monstrous heaviness.
I wish I had time/wrist strength to go into detail on these, but here are
some albums worth punishing yourself with:
On Southern Lord:
Boris - Absolutego (includes a 65-minute track; the best of theirs to start
with if you seek anguish and torture, b/c Amplifier Worship is more
psychedelic and Flood is much quieter, on the whole)
Khanate - s/t
Sunn 0))) - Flight of the Behemoth (especially this one); 00 Void (also
impressive, especially w/ good sub-woofers)
On other labels:
Harvey Milk - Courtesy and Good Will Toards Men (tUMULt)
